The Yodel courier who 'delivered' my Aubiose today...

He used the intercom to call my flat, I let him in. Half an hour later, still no parcel. That's nothing unusual with Yodel. They often don't bother delivering when they realise I'm on the 10th floor and the lift only goes to 9. Anyway, 3 hours later I hear my neighbour so I pop out and ask him if he had taken in a parcel for me. He informs me that there are 2 parcels left on the 9th floor stairwell! I go look and there is my bale of Aubiose, with the corner split and also another parcel I was expecting just dumped in the stairwell! Cheeky bloody :rant:.

I had to tape up the bag then carry the 20KG bale up the stairs myself.. :doh:

Sounds familiar. I stayed in all day for a Yodel delivery. I saw the van pull up outside my house, park over the road for 5 mins then I get a message to say I wasn't in so the parcel couldn't be delivered! I was in - the driver just didn't want to get wet!

Yep, that happens all the time here. They often do that to me 3 days running and then when they finally deliver it, they leave it on the doorstep and run off. Or they deliver the parcel with the packaging hanging off and the item broken. They have to be the worst delivery company ever. I try to avoid them normally and that's why I love Zooplus as you can chose DPD or Yodel. DPD are so much better.
 
:agr:DPD are loads better than Yodel or Amazon. My neighbour used to work for Amazon - NEVER AGAIN c**p company to work for! Maybe I'll put them in Room 101 for him!

My OH can go in the daycare too. Appears excited over visiting a wedding venue, suggests we look at a couple of others but wants me to do all the research and contacting
 
Plastic bags with food in that say tear here, when you do the bag falls apart and throws food (usually frozen peas in this house) all over the floor.
 
Can I book myself into room 101 indefinitely?

In the same vein as VickiA; couriers who, on their tracking service, 'attempted delivery' when no such attempt was made. I work here and I was in all f*ing day - no van!

I have soooo been here, and even worse...they arrived at my door 2 more times the same day with packages for others in the street! But apparently I wasn't home for mine despite being in all day especially!

I had a note from the post office saying they'd tried to deliver a parcel on Saturday and I didn't hear them, so I missed it. The reason given was that it wouldn't fit in the letterbox. When I got the parcel on Monday, I checked. It flippin' well would fit in the letterbox. They had to bend down to said letterbox to put the note through, would it have hurt them to just check the parcel at the time?!

When they make you go and collect something letter box sized but then leave larger packages out on the doorstep/rain/shared stairwell where anyone can just take them...

Or when you miss a parcel on a Saturday, but they don't put the note through your door til they come back with more post on the Monday.
 
The European Social Fund and their evil indecisiveness which has doubled my anxiety and triggered an IBS flare up

Yep we've all been there!

The amount of yelling I did at them for that because I had to now wait an extra day for them to deliver it AND THEN THEY SCREWED UP THE NEXT DELIVERY. You know when you've made an impression, because a manager picks up that package himself and delivers it to your door by hand just to get you to stop complaining about them. Props to the guy, I wouldn't have come anywhere near me in that mood.

IBS in general. I can't eat anything at the minute, nothing is safe, and I'M HUNGRY.
 
Oh poor you IBS is horrible I have something similar but fortunately as long as I keep taking the tablets I'm fine!
 
I feel you with the IBS. Mine is so bad lately. Heat doesn't help. I'm just fed up of it. Trying to gain weight is a nightmare and the nurse is on my case as soon as I drop any.
 
I've dropped weight recently which is great because I needed to, but it's basically because my digestive system has lost the plot. I need a new one, like yesterday.

Unfortunately I'm not meant to drop any weight due to being hospitalised a couple of years back because of an eating disorder which I'm still battling. I'm still meant to be gaining weight but IBS and other issues does not help.
 
I had the same problem years back, not that you'd know it now. The dropping weight out of nowhere is the worry because I know I'm not even trying, and I can do it all too quickly.

Not having teeth doesn't help, because everything takes longer to eat as it is.
 
Can I put headaches into 101? No tablets are shifting this one
 
Oh dear @Squeakz that must be a bad one then! As migraine sufferer I know just what you are going through. If I don't get my tablets down my neck at the first warning signs I can say goodbye to the next 2 days! You have my sympathy!
 
Had it since last night, was a real test of exhaustion trying to get to sleep with it.
 
I would like to add buses that turn up at random times not specified on the time table.
If I'm getting the 5 past bus it's because I wanted to get the 5 past bus not the 25 past bus,
If I wanted that one I would have waited for the 25 past bus....
And now I'm late for work! >:(
 
My favorite one was last week when I saw my bus drive off 4 mins early. It was a 40min wait for the next one and the irony was that the 2nd was an additional 10 mins late....if only the one before it had been the late one!
