I hate people who park in supermarket car parks, go in buy food, sit in car/van eating it then dump all their wrappings down side of their vehicle and drive off. This happened to me today. I parked car, man sat eating sandwich and bottle of pop on dashboard. I came back to find man gone and litter on ground. My poor old Mum 89 had to walk through it all, and she dosn’t qualify for child and parent space or disabled parking even though she is deaf and only partially sighted. So thoughtless! It looks dreadful too!

So bad, just put it in the bin at home for g*d sake
 
I've had a small nightmare with buying online lately.. first it was a roll of sisal string I bought to make gerbil toys, I ordered on the 20th of November and it's still not arrived, the seller is being really weird and then listed the item as unavailable. Given up trying to get the item now and waiting for Amazon to refund me.

I have decided I'm getting a hamster (would you believe there's not a Syrian to be found today!) But anyway, I ordered a cage and some accessories..which came in 2 packages. Open them up and the hamster accessories were actually 30kg of friggin dog food XD so I had to go through the effort of sorting out getting that recollected which is tomorrow..no time given at all so I have no idea what time I'll have to wake up..but it was all I could do to drag the box to the kitchen last week, now I've got to drag it back to the front door before I go to bed!

In this day and age surely online ordering should be simpler? XD
 
I was trying to order some shirts online tonight for my OH. When I got to the basket it was one price and when I got to the payment screen it was another (more expensive) price. Spent 15 minutes on live chat explaining the situation to a Numpty who couldn't understand what I was on about. Had to get my son to screenshot the basket for me and send it to said Numpty before she would do anything about it. My OH has difficulty buying shirts in shops as he is 6'5" tall and hardly anything is long enough in the arm or the body. I even went into the shop where he buys his shirts from online and was told that "we don't stock that size here Madam, you'll have to get them online". So frustrating!
 
yes, the whole country is just full of lorries driving around from a to b to c etc. The internet is fine until something goes wrong, then it’s a nightmare. Ordered some linen pillowcases online in October and still not got them, they took payment straightaway, emailed and phoned, no answer, left messages, so think they have gone bust!

Tip for the future, make a Paypal account and purchase things using PayPal (it links to your bank so it just acts as like a middle-man) then if you have problems like this, PayPal reimburses you
 
@Bill & Ted did you pay by credit card? This happend to me when I bought a jumper a few years ago and the card company refunded the money. To be honest I hate online shopping but we don't have any shops near us that sell most of the things I need. Bristol is useless for shops now since they opened Cribbs Causeway which is impossible to get to from here without changing bus twice. It was easier for me to shop when I lived in a rural community in Cornwall, you won't believe this but the bus service was better!
 
We had this with our Beasts Boutique fleece order from Etsy... I'm in Liverpool, Beast's Boutique is on the Wirral 10 miles away... so, our online order was relayed via an Etsy server in the USA... which crashed... leaving a 3 week delay in the order and payment going through. I contacted them, after the "contact window" was finally allowed to ask about our stuff... they had no idea we placed an order... once they found out they were very upset and made our fleeces the next day and we had them within 5 days... sort of makes me miss the days when a person had an actual shop you could go into and buy stuff! We could have driven there and back in a couple of hours but everything is in "the cloud" now with no real people...
 
No I don’t think I did, just debit card, they didn’t have option for credit card or Paypal which I normally use. I have used them before and they were great so I decided to buy another pair of pillow cases as the fabric was so lovely. Got an order acknowledgement but that’s been it. Will have to put it down to experience I think, wasted so much time trying to chase them up, no one answers the phone and no replies to emails. When I go on the site it says oops been a problem?
 
My sofa, the fact that spilling even the tiniest amount of PURE WATER on it leaves a huge stain when it dries that will only be removed by a specific detergent.

Why does the detergent not stain but water does?! Worst sofa ever purchased. (Also cannot remove covers so can’t even cheat with the washing machine.

My couch is annoying too, you can take it apart so there are cracks in between the cushions and it sucks everything in like a black hole! 🤦🏻‍♀️
This has resulted in a lot of lost keys, phones and bits and bobs

I have lost all sorts in the black hole of my sofa too! I wondered where my small scissors had got to that I use all the time (for cutting wool when I have finished knitting something) were hiding for months! My decorator found them when he moved the sofa to paint the wall behind it.
 
Last time I moved my sofa I found...
Piggy poops
Hay
8 toy cars
4 lego bricks
3 pens
A bag of wotsits crisps- open
A nail file
3 hair scrunchies
A quorn nugget- quite green in colour
Half a breadstick
A bank statement
A birthday card from 12 months ago
A selection of my mother's medication
Hair balls- assorted hooman and piggy
A nest of spiders

I tend to do a "spring clean" and move my sofas at the end of the summer holidays after we've been invaded by assorted family members repeatedly for a very intense 6 week period!
 
Since Caspy found the warm pipes that run under the floor under the sofa I have to move it every day after his floor time, there's enough poop under there to manure the veg patch! Caspy loves his warmth, he's the only one of our piggies that sleeps on a Snugglesafe.
 
Now I really am wound up! I am still chasing my hay delivery round the Country. Apparently it was back in Bristol yesterday but I asked for it to returned to the sender so it's on its way back to Devon. I certainly didn't request it to be returned to sender, I've had to go shopping today for some inferior stuff (all that's available). I know it's Christmas and delivery people are busy, but .........:hb:

People who get rid of their pets after having a baby. You wouldn’t just get rid of a kid!

I agree to an extent but sometimes there are real reasons that can’t be avoided such as dog/cat aggression towards the child, Child has allergies, there is a serious illness following birth that prevents the mom being able to take on the additional care of pets on top of herself nd th4 baby for many months especially if it’s a single parent.

When a toddler is sick right in the center or the hallway and there is no way around it to get to anything to clean it up with....why is it so slimy and slippery?
Click to expand...
Oh no! Horrible, plus you've got the toddler to care for at the same time. Hope the illness is short-lived & no-one else gets it.

Fixed my spill stain issue fir now, found that 2 old zorb filled 2x6 cage liners cover the seat areas perfectly and don’t slide off. Of course I will remove them when we have visitors but at least it will help keep it clean day to day.
 
People who are potty mouths and swear a lot cos they think it makes them look big and important. It doesn't. I had a boss like that once so and when I couldn't handle it any more I just said "Well I think that's a fiver in the swear box don't you?" He looked at me guiltily, and never swore in front of me again.
 
Not sure if this counts but it's winding me up & didn't seem enough for its own thread... my youngest age 12 has a group of friends who are always together at school lunchtimes etc, and she invites all of them to her birthdays etc. Most of them have known each other since infant school, a couple have been included this last year at high school.

One of her oldest friends is having a Christmas party and my daughter seems to be the only one of the group who hasn't had an invite. It could be an oversight.... but I can't ask. All the group are talking about is this party! 😣
