I hate

If I click a sub thread in replies to a twitter post, when I click back it now auto-scrolls back to the top.

I hate this.

How loud step ladders are. You tap them on a wall and it's like a volcano going off.

When people actually ask questions when asked "Are there any questions?"

This is actually a key battle ground for the scramble for promotion at our company. Even if a question has already been answered by the content prior to the Q&A part, even if the question isn't particularly relevant and everyone wants to finish the meeting, it's great, you've asked a question. Its good for your VISIBILITY.

Experienced first-hand yesterday.
Response was good, from person being asked - “Er, was that a question? I don’t understand what your asking.” Nailed it, basically.

Lol, hard relate. I have to use a set of podium step ladders with a big aluminium platform to stand on to meet site rules. They are literally deafening at times. And because of the extra hand rails, they’re an absolute bastard to carry about.

These godforsaken things:

Why do delivery drivers never read the delivery notes? Ordering a takeaway is a proper treat, and having it arrive cold because the bellend of a delivery driver would rather wait for 10 minutes in the wrong place than spend 5 seconds reading the note that explains that the Satnav will take you to the wrong place, is rather frustrating. Never mind why he didn’t just call and ask where the house was like they usually do.

And it all arrives in plastic, so I have to decant what can be reheated into pans and get them on the stove, while the other half gets colder as reheating would require disassembly into reheatable and non-reheatable elements, an act that seems so similar to just cooking the fucking thing in the first place that I can’t face it, clinging to the clearly ridiculous belief that a takeaway would be more straightforward than just cooking something in the first place . So now I have extra washing up to do, a half reheated dinner, and a massive pang of guilt that I might be putting a small business in jeopardy by filing a complaint on just eat because it appears that saying “the food was cold” generates a request for a full refund.

I just wanted a nice treat on a Friday FFS.

We’ve had drivers gently place our order on top of the 4ft snowbank that blocks our front door which has a big sign saying ‘back door please’ after we’ve specifically noted on the form for back door delivery.

Requesting a takeaway with backdoor delivery might have consequences.....

We’re fast (food) friends, it’s okay.

On a Exploited by Just Eat Riders forum somewhere there’s a complaint about you and your wrong postcode. The 15 minutes messing around which there not paid for. The missed earnings because there on piecework and Just Eat have flooded the circuit to stop Arsey customers complaining.
However it’s probably not written in English

We seem to have turned into a nation that wants everything delivered for our own convenience but we start crying when it’s not quite as convenient as we hoped.

I doubt drivers getting paid minimum wage - if all their deliveries run to schedule - are deliberately standing about and sniggering while the customer’s food goes cold.

I did a course where a large proportion of the other students were from Oxford, so not stupid. And in the induction classes this was a reoccurring theme that baffled me at the time.

Why are all these people asking questions which were all literally answered by the talk/lecture?

On a related note, why doesn’t the general public make sure their house name and/or number is clearly visible from the street. I’ve been a delivery driver in the past and it’s beyond a joke how much time is wasted in a day trying to work out where to go.

Yeah, when I worked as a water service rep in the 90's most of my area was pretty rural around Beds, Bucks, Herts.

Trying to find 'The Steadings' on Lower Little Frumpington Lane in Little Pissington when the fuckers had a tiny sign made from wood, nailed to a tree for perfect camo effect...

Happened all the fucking time...

+1

We buy a lot of 2nd hand kids stuff from FBM, often in burbs around Hertfordshire. The number of times I've just had to pull into any old drive that's close enough, get my torch from the glove box and then go door-to-door searching for numbers.

It's fucking ridiculous.

Even better is when you then realise they've actually just written it out in words in some artful way against a wall you can only see in the day light when you know its there already.

House names in general can just fuck off into The Glade.

the glade.

The Sea Inn, surely.

while the other half gets colder as reheating would require disassembly into reheatable and non-reheatable elements

I usually just stick a radiator on, keeps her happy

I used to take a delight from things like I finding “The Oaks” after spotting a clump of oak trees

Delight is strong!

I live at The Glades. It was the name of the property when we moved in and there are no house numbers on our road. To further fuck things up our rural postcode covers 2 miles of road and we are over a mile away from where Satnavs show us to be from the postcode.

My folks old place was similar. Named for something totally irrelevant.

By the same token. Boat names can get in yhe sea too.

Well done, Wet Golf Club member, you made a shitty pun that's beenade a billionty times before.

Rename your house SP944440?

No idea what this means
