Tesco delivery drivers. We're expecting delivery of a few things tonight between 7 & 9pm.

Looked out the window as the tesco van pulled up to my drive, walked to the front door only to see him driving off :102:.

This was about half an hour ago and he hasn't been back yet.

He's probably about to knock on my door, they keep turning up with other people's food.
 
After being on hold to the customer services for about 10 minutes I get a woman telling me the driver has reported a problem with our order but she has no idea what it is as she can't contact him.

Slightly pissed off as I paid to get this delivery spot as it is the only night we are in this week.

Also why did he drive all the way to my house before deciding there was a problem? He didn't get out of the vehicle on my street so has something in his head told him there's something wrong?

Twats.

They are bunch of ****s. Good luck trying to get your money back if you don't get your order.
 
Been waiting in since about half 7 for the post to come so I can get my new laptop charger and I pop out for 5 minutes at half 12 and the nobheads stick one of their little red notes through the door. So now I've got no laptop again today and I've gotta trawl up to the ****ing sorting office to get it! Grrrr.

He was sitting in his van waiting for you to go out. Our postman doesn't bother with that he just lobs it over the car port, from about a mile away.
 
Stingy people.

I don't have any money most of the time, but I reckon I'm still more generous with what I've got than the stuck up snobs who walked round the craft fair last night, pawing all the goods and then pulling faces when they see the prices on things.

I don't think they bother trying to wait for people to sign for stuff sometimes. I was expecting some DVDs to arrive when I was off on paternity leave and we got a piece of red card saying there was no fecker in.....despite me, the wife and the baby being stuck in all day as it was pissing down.
 
That's because it's easier for them to carry a card than your parcel, so they can leave it at the post office and make you go and collect it. Chances are they never tried to deliver it because they never had it with them in the first place.
 
Travelodge - your ads tell me I will get a good nights sleep. Now I appreciate that I'm insomniac, but despite the signs telling people to "consider other guests", the noise in your hotel in Nottingham was bang out of order.

Knocking on our door to accuse us of smoking really was the icing on the cake. Metaphorically speaking.

In future, I will insist that we pay more and use Premier Inn, despite the ads.

I had the same problem in Sheffield last week. I didn't expect people to come in at 3AM on Tuesday shouting and banging doors. But I don't think Travelodge can be blamed for that.

I do; they put signs up asking guests to consider other guests, have staff on site, but do bugger all about it.

However, the staff will knock on doors and accuse guests of smoking when they haven't. So someone, somewhere, is sort of paying attention to the behaviour of their guests but not doing it properly. Something is wrong somewhere, whether it's Travelodge's systems, or their employees, it's their fault.

The worst thing for me was that the bloke said if it wasn't smoke it was steam that "alerted" them to us allegedly smoking. Yet nobody banged on the door when either of us took a shower a few hours later.

A gentle comment/complaint about similar occurrences has twice brought me a 100% refund in the last year.
 
the cold weather+ frozen pipes + broken boiler.

Woke up yesterday morning to find my boiler leaking all over the place and it had soaked through the floorboards and ceiling down onto the carpet by my front door.

Can't switch on my hall light as even though we got the boiler to stop pissing water everywhere, it's still dripping through the ceiling.

So at the mo I have no hot water or no gas- I'm not switching the boiler back on as knowing my luck the damn thing will break completely.

It's not exactly the best time of year for this to happen! Will be on the phone this afternoon to hopefully get things sorted out.
 
driving to work, forgetting to leave the keys with my mum to let the guy sorting my windows in. meaning ive got to drive all the way pissing back:098:
 
Snow, not being able to get the car off the drive, bus services cancelled, pavements 2ft deep in snow and being expected to make it to work anyway.
