Small rant - I ordered something last week tuesday, it was next day delivery and was supposed to come wednesday, Wednesday evening came and it hadn't arrived, I called them up, asked them what happened and they said they havent sent it yet and the parcel is still sitting here....
I was like 'ok then, why dont you try and bloody send it next time' Of course I didnt say it exactly like that... they told me I would receive it on thursday, waited all day.... Didnt come, gave them another ring, they said the driver forgot the package

I told them to call him and tell him to bring it, they told me I will have my package on friday before 12AM, So I waited.... 12:30 came, no package, I called them up demanding to know what the heck happened and they told me the package will be with you in the evening. I told them 'you said it would be here by 12' He said he never said that.
At this point I was mad, very mad indeed.
He gave me a time, he said the driver will deliver your package between 5-6pm.
So I said fine. I went out to do a bit of shopping, came home at 2:45 and saw one of those slips you get when you've missed your delivery.
It said he came at 2:33.
I was furious, rang them up again, explained what happened and he said there must of been a misunderstanding and it will be with you tomorrow morning.
I said no I need it now, and said a few things, at 3:00PM the doorbell rang, it was mr delivery man.

Rant over .

I actually started to laugh when I got to the part where you found the slip on the door! Same thing has happened to me, and it's completely frustrating!

how is this program still going? why on Earth does anyone watch it?

List of annoyance:

1. Formulaic and very obviously set up to produce exiting ending 'challenges'. Anyone who thinks that these aren't pre-written for the preffered outcome is an idiot.

2. Cartoon characature 'presenters' who have everything that they say in the studio sections scripted for them by a group of writers.

3. The Stig - honestly, unless you are 5yrs old, he is not something you should enjoy. Anyone that wears an 'i'm the Stig' t-shirt needs to be dragged into the street and shot (sorry, got a bit Clarkson there. Speaking of which......)

4. Clarkson - overly outrageous comments purposely used to fuel sales of pittifully written books and DVDs that show expensive cars exploding. If you have taken anything he has ever said and used it in conversation with another human being, then you have no right to existence on this fair Earth.

 

[StandbySetting]

I know it's scripted, but isn't everything (Apart from Outnumbered)? It doesn't stop it from being funny. Clarkson is a legend, if you take anything he says seriously then obviously you're going to be offended, but he says overly outrageous things for a joke.

The Stig is okay, dragged on a bit now though.

Mine for the day, why aren't there vending machines on buses? You get food on a train, plane etc so why not a bus? It's more convenient to buy and eat something on the bus too. Just think of the extra income they could make!

when work dont pay you right, and then try and say you didnt work when you did. argh.

Oooh I hate that. Or when they tell you that you were supposed to be working the last day of your holiday, which you definitely booked off because your flight didn't get in until 7pm. And then when you query what earth they were playing at they inform you that you also haven't received your holiday pay because, and I quote... "you didn't tell me whether you wanted it or not".

Funnily enough, I hate when staff tell me I've done their pay wrong, when actually I've done it right......

I'm sure you're excellent at payroll. The deranged loony who was my manager at the time was not. She wasn't even very good at tending bar. Mostly she was good at being out of her brains on illegal white powder situation improved considerably once she got fired and we got managers who knew how to manage

Lfs chains that don't care about welfare
Was in one today, every tank had dead & dying fish in it.
The guppy tank I counted at least 8 dead including some that had been eaten down to the skeleton.
I sent a very snotty email to customer services, but I doubt they'll do anything

It might not result in any action, but I'm glad you brought it to their attention.
