FindernRam Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 All the advertising junk inside newspapers that falls out everywhere. Tesco even have a bin next to papers for you to drop it in before you pay! P.S For you kiddies: Newspapers are where you read stuff 24hrs after it happened if your internet goes down. angieram and Ewe Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Sure we've all heard this one before... Hello Mr Heating person, I'd like to part with some money and have a new boiler fitted please. "Ok, I'd be happy to come over and give you a quote" Great, I'm off Thursday (10th), would anytime after 12 be ok? "that's fine, see you Thursday after 12" You can guess the rest. If anyone knows of any reputable/reliable folk that cover the Ripley area then feel free to DM me, only if you have the time, or can be bothered, as long as it's not too much trouble... (then I can invite the original one back, keep them talking for an hour (if they turn up of course), then tell them I've already gone with someone else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 When did it become thing for councils to use black spray paint on road signs covering the names of things/places that aren't there anymore. Seen it on the A38 and i-Pro stadium ones. That used to be called graffiti and resulted in fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob The Badger Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Unaware people in supermarkets who just wander in front of you when a very slight move of the head to one side would let them know an angry badger in a hurry is coming past. Then using being blind as some kind of excuse Doubly annoying when it's people who work there shoving a monstrous trolley of produce in front of you as they whine to their colleague about not getting off until 9. They should be so lucky, I've not got off since 1998. Mucker1884, Comrade 86, Boycie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that, people who get to the checkout, and the assistant says that will b £x.x, and they suddenly start looking for something to make payment with, as if they never had any expectation that payment might be a requirement. Old people are the worst. I would ban them from Waitrose and more often than not I would have the store to myself. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put on the previous version of this thread, I'd load the handheld scanner with Bullets, for exactly this scenario. Nowadays I feel sorry for the old buggers, having to cope with the self checkout system ain't easy for the best of us. It's also quite embarrassing, when 2/3rds of the shopping chimes out loudly that supervision will be required to buy this product, please continue. To be fair, I should probably cut back on the glue sniffing anyway. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a small engineering company, and during the course of a 10 minute phone call this morning, they managed to help themselves to £70,000 of company money. A years wages for our 3 most junior employees, in other words. When this happened, the firm was told an investigation would take place, and a resolution would take 10 working days. 20k was returned almost immediately, due to the transaction being blocked, but the rest would be subject to investigation. No such investigation has taken place, as far as we can tell, not one witness statement obtained, no contact from anyone in authority, yet today the missing amount has landed back in the bank, without forewarning of any sort. Not one email, call or contact of any sort to explain the situation. Crime really does pay, if you're smart enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that your bank has refunded 100% of the 'scammed' money with no explanation whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
