We have a Bosche washing machine and when it’s finished it beeps louder than a screaming banshee, then, in case anyone in the post code hasn’t heard it it beeps again 30 seconds later and then, on the outside chance that someone has moved into earshot it beeps again 2 mins later.

Reminding you of something you need to do three times in three minutes at an unnecessarily loud volume!

 

I suspect your washing machine and the mother of my children may have been separated at birth.

I have got a similar thing with the dryer. Some bright spark decided instead of a beep it should play 3 notes to almost achieve a little tune. Then to play that tune 6 times a minute for around 4 minutes before SHUTTING THE FUCK UP YOU ATTENTION SEEKING CUNT.

 

Cunt product designer.

Mosquitos, and specifically that cunty, gloating ‘I’m coming for you’ noise they make, when you’re in bed, know full well there’s one in the room preparing to dive-bomb you, but can’t be arsed to get back up and hunt for it. Confident I’ll wake up tomorrow eaten alive by the fucking thing.

Up at 6 this morning,bad back and can hardly move and got bit to fuck by this stealth assassin. Managed to swat it as it made for my face. So satisfying to know the blood on the floor was all mine.

Cunt of an species, thank you God.

At the other end of the scale our Ninja Dual cooker just makes one farty ring and then stops. Put on some spring rolls when the game started on Saturday , forgot about them until I went to use it at teatime.

Our LG washing machine plays a tune comprising of 27 notes when it finishes its cycle. Only once like, but 27 notes?

I bought 4 tickets for the O2 for a concert next June. The tickets were the bargain price of £81 each - so £324 yeah? Oh no.

 

Item Subtotal
Tickets £324.00
Facility Fee £9.00
Booking Fee £43.00
 
Total: £376.00
 

Paid in full at time of purchase.

Total amount includes £3.76 VAT.

 

 

 

 

So £52 to book online. And then after you book, it asks you if you want to book parking at £25

The fees these ticket sellers add on are ridiculous. Fucking parasites.

We have one of those too. And their dishwasher. Same thing. Different tone.

 

 

Does this reply belong in the Middle Class Generalisation thread?

You don’t realise how big they are until you see one of the original models. They really are mini

Yeah that’s what prompted me to get annoyed. Saw one of the originals before. No good for a man of my height but they’re cool little cars.

We took a hired one to a hand car wash once and they charged us as a medium sized car even though the price list included the word mini as a category. Terse words were exchanged . “Mini” has come to mean a car that’s smaller than an actual Mini.

There's more room in them than you think. I bought one for Mrs HL when she was learning to drive. I got into it no problem and I'm 6'2".

 

We only had it a few weeks because she didn't like the idea of the crumple zones being her legs, so I put it up for sale. I near doubled my money on it. 

The only car I ever made a profit on.

I think the record for getting the most people in an original Mini is 25 or something?! They do look tiny compared to other cars of today though.

 

Anyway, little things that annoy the shit out of me? Neighbour behind us has a security light but they havent bothered setting it. If a sparrow farts in fron of it, it comes on and stays on for 30 fucking minutes! Goes off for 5 then is back on again!

 

Said I was going to go round and politely ask if they wouldlike me to show them how to set the sensors up but the old girl wont have any of it.

We had that with a neighbour opposite, the fucking thing was going off by the minutes. My Mrs bumped into him a few months back and just said she thought the the PIR on it was faulty. Give him his due, he sorted it.

It's the same with most old cars. I've not had them out and driven them in years but whenever I move one of the Escorts it's always a bit of a culture shock how small it is when you get in it.

 

Even stuff that we used to think were big cars like the Granada are actually pretty small compared to new stuff.

 

Yet, an old 70's or 80's Volvo estate can still carry more stuff than my last Audi or current Mondeo as the back is actually the right shape for carrying stuff. Not just a massive curved void.
