Over promising/Under delivering. Especially when not even being used as a sales technique but, even then, just don’t fucking do it. 
 

Had one of these phone consultations with a doctor yesterday. That part was fine but she told me the prescription I needed would be ready ‘after 2pm’. My car was having its MOT yesterday so I walked the twenty minutes to the Chemist, setting off from my house at 3pm. Upon arrival I was told it wasn’t ready. When I explained what I’d been told, she just shrugged and said they shouldn’t have said that time, it wouldn’t be ready for at least another hour and she would call me when it was. I received a text at 5.45pm. 
 

I’d have been totally fine with being told, in the first place, it would be available today. As it is I’m peeved with the misinformation and shoddy customer service. 
 

Unless it's something they don't have in stock that they have to get from a supplier/other chemist, it should only take a couple of minutes to fill a prescription. All they have to do is take a box/bottle of the stuff off the shelf and spend 2 minutes on the computer. It's not like the old days when  they had to make the stuff in the shop.

Amazon, the twats.

 

They have this bullshit 'prime day' next week. A few days ago I put a Sonicare Brush in my basket (an xmas present) which was £99, which is sort of the normal price most of the time. Today in the basket it's £150. Obviously they're going to reduce it to the normal price on 'prime day' and hail it as a bargain. I know loads of places do this and there are some regulations that should stop it but nobody does anything.

When you're standing waiting for a bus/ train and the person closest to where it's coming from prematurely moves towards the bus stop, indicating it's about to arrive.

Fucking neighbours. I swear, if I ever win the mega rollover Im going to buy a plot of land in the middle of nowhere and build my own house with enough land around it so no one can live within half a mile of me.

 

Got one neighbour who comes out and trims grass, plants and weeds with a pair of fucking scissors if they so much as bend over her driveway. Another neighbour left a tree untouched for 20 fucking years that it blocked quite a bit of light. It was only when they cut it down (more on that in a bit!) that you realised how much light it cut out. The fucking leaves also blocked part of my guttering which caused rainwater to gush over the edge instead of making it to the down pipe.

 

Anyways, the neighbours decided to have a go at cutting down this roughly 25 to 30 foot, 20 year old tree. From the fucking bottom! They must have been watching some lumberjack videos on YT and seen these guys cut trees down in a meadow. Only these clowns though a bit of rope and one of the lads hanging on would stop it landing in our front or on top of the other neighbours cars!

 

They had a couple of goes with a chain saw, broke the chain once then gave up for a while. Then they had another go. By this time, Id had enough so went out and suggested because of the proximity of other houses and cars, they cut it down from the top instead.

 

Cant reach up there, was the reply! Seriously? How about using some ladders I suggested helpfully!

 

I got up the next Saturday to the sound of a chainsaw again. Looked out the window and they are attacking the tree at the bottom again with the lad holding on to a ratchet strap by one hand. Next thing, an almighty crash and this thing's in my garden.

 

Better make sure I get a ticket for the draw tonight.

Is it weird that the cunt with the scissors seems to be far more annoying than the ones who threw a tree into your garden?

My mate had the right idea (if he ever won big on the lottery), as well as moving to a place where you cannot be affected by bad neighbours give the old ones a taste of the kind of shit they've been giving out. 

 

Rent out your home to some right inconsiderate bastards, let's be honest it won't be difficult finding them. Buy the house on the other side of them and rent that out too. 

 

Sit back and watch the fun, if they move then buy the houses each side and rinse and repeat. 

 

Ideally rent to families that have four cars, a camper van, a works van, teenage kids and a hubby that likes to work on cars from home. Not all of those families are inconsiderate bastards but loads of vehicles and teenagers lowers the risk of them not being so. My daughter has exactly that configuration so I have seen the issues. 

[Bjornebye]

Yeah move Remmies mate off Facebook in.

Rutabaga's, that are impossible to cut so it's ready chopped Swede, Turnip or Neeps next time. 

I've been to the USA as well.

We live in a small close of 10 houses.

There's some people who live opposite but 3 doors down who thought it would be a good idea to plant a conifer right next to the lamp post which is on the edge of their front garden.

 

No problem with that you'd think until a few years later when the conifer has grown slightly taller than the lamp post.

Then, every time there was wind or a breeze, the top of the conifer would away in front of the lamp post so you got light on, light off, light on, light off and it would carry on flashing all night, every night.

 

Trying to get to sleep at night was a fucking nightmare with this thing, it was like a ship at sea sending messages by using its lantern (whatever you call it) saying "I'M GONNA KEEP YOU AWAKE ALL FUCKING NIGHT YOU CUNT".

Drove me fucking mad.

 

Eventually, it grew taller than the lamp post so then it wasn't too bad until somebody complained that there was no light in the close so they had to cut it down.

Problem solved you'd think.

 

No.

 

He then decided to fit a light next to his front door which is infra red.

Why exactly, I haven't got a clue seeing as the lamp post is 12 fucking feet from it. 

 

This lamp is overly bright and with it having a pir, it switches on when someone walks down his path.

But it's not just then.

 

If anybody who doesn't live on their side of the close opens their front door or window, it switches on.

Bear in mind I live opposite but 3 doors down, I closed my bathroom window last night and the fucking thing switched on.

 

People have plants and bushes in their gardens and it's that sensitive, you've guessed it, when there's a breeze, they kick the fucking thing off as well so now that's keeping me awake at night.

 

Pain in the arse.

My neighbour is ace a little old lady not heard a peep from her in weeks. Never had an issue although I noticed there's a bad smell coming through her letterbox when I knocked round to complain because of the milk bottles piling up next to her doorstep. She needs to sort that shit out.

Old lady (Vera) two doors up from us looks after her poorly husband. He is immobile and has carers pop in  4/5 times a day. She's always at her door saying Hi really loud because she's partially deaf. She shouts at you but loves a talk if she sees you etc. She knocked our door about teatime last night because she heard me and my missus were a bit poorly asking if we needed anything from the shops. She's about 86. 

[Bjornebye]

Took her about an hour to get back with 4 bags of spuds,  4x 2 litre bottles of lemonade and 6 pints of milk like.

Nah, she's just batty, mate. The loons with the tree are constant arseholes.

 

I put some white posts on the edge of my garden because I was getting fucked off with people reversing over the edge of it. Next morning, I noticed one had been flattened. I re fitted it and thought no more.

 

Couple of nights later, the 19 year old girl from the house in question is trying to reverse off her drive and she's headed for the same fucking post again. So I nip out and politely suggest she needs a lot of right hand down else she's going to flatten the post.

 

I get a load of 'fuck off! I cant see it! It's got no light on it!' blah, blah, fucking blah. I said Im going nowhere and you're not flattening the post, right hand down but she's still giving it dog's abuse.

 

We have a kind of mexican stand off with her saying she isnt moving until I fuck off. I say good, you wont knock down the post them, Ive all night. This goes on for about 20 minutes until she phones her brother who gets in the car and reverses it out.

 

As she drives off she shouts 'you can fucking go inside now!' I shout back drive safely, dont forget to use your mirrors! Fucking cheeky mare.

We're similar, 8 houses in the cul de sac. Shouldn't laugh but we have someone at the back like that! The cunt doesnt know how to adjust the sensitivity of the detector or length of time the light is on. I keep saying Im going to go round and ask if they can adjust it but the old girl says no, you're fucking not!

 

They have a dog that has the run of the garden and conservatory which is always left open.

 

The light now comes on about 5pm now when the dog activates it and it stays on for 30 minutes. Then the dog walks past it again and it comes back on. Again. For 30 minutes.

 

Back of ours is virtually floodlight from dusk and we have to draw the blinds else the inside of the house is lite by an erie glow. We dont go to bed until gone 1 in the morning and the fucking thing is still on!

The neighbours I'm on about don't bother anybody to be fair, in fact, they're really nice people, just oblivious I think.

The ones next door to them, more or less directly opposite are the ones I can't stand and the ones 3 doors from them.

Everybody else is sound.
