Random Irritations

You would, as pay at the pump is allowing many fuel stations to open 24 hours unmanned. you want fuel at 2AM? try getting some with cash!

Exactly, good point, you are doing someone out of a job. Petrol station’s around here open 24hr. Use cash, you know it makes sense. ?

Nah. Get a job that comes with a fuel card. That makes sense.

But Half the Self service checkout machines take cash… Honestly kids today think they know it all. ?

I do, but if I use it for my personal car the accountant kicks off!?

Picked up my new car yesterday, second hand but new to me. Anyway, during the service it got earlier this week they replaced two of the tyres. Happy with that, it shows they were not just skimming the service. I didn't check in all the excitement but this morning I noticed that they put the tyres on the same side of the car instead of opposite each other as they should really know. I've spoken to my friendly independent garage opposite where I work, I use him for servicing, and he will change them for £10 next week. The £10 is neither here nor there but the irritation is that the dealer put them on this way when they should know better.

This is a bit odd overall as if it's the car you mentioned then does it not have wider section tyres on the rear than the front? If so then the balance is way off.

Replacing one side isn't as uncommon these days depending on the wear to the opposite side. If you have, say 5mm on one side and replace the other it won't be as bad with modern stability controls than in the past where it would have a big impact.

Maybe the previous owner liked driving round roundabouts ?

Round here we still have pump attendants at every station. I haven't put petrol in the car in years (just gotta watch in case the odd scrote tries to short-fill)

The sheer amount of litter around Inverness at the moment, walked along the canal path today by the bridges and it was everywhere, mostly dropped by teenagers who congregate Along there to go swimming. Cut thought the two parks on the way back , again litter everywhere from picnics yesterday, bins everywhere to none of these were more than a few yards from bins and people would have had to walk past them to get out of the parks

Bit of a multiple irritation today

Samsung dryer is 3 years old .. 5 year warranty .. its just broke for second time .. same thing as last time .. this part (see pic) snaps because it's poorly designed and made of plastic not metal

So annoyance one is badly design

Annoyance 2 is they don't have record of me registering the extending of the warranty .. now that's either mine or their fault .. either their records missed it or I forgot .. so for now Ill blame myself as could have forgot these things happen

Annoyance 3 is having to register for extending of a warranty that's free (got proof of purchase) should be standard

Annoyance 4 is I think I can find the part to repair it myself . Only £20 .. just it's a white part and the company put it on a white background so I can't be 100% sure lol

I'll find out im sure

Been a fun Sunday so far View attachment 37260

Bad design, looks like there's been a build up of fluff /debris at the top jamming the fan. There should be a filter that stops a build up, it
should be cleaned or changed regularly.

Teenagers who congregate Along there to go swimming.

Canal water clean enough to swim in? round here I wouldn't wash dog turd off my shoe with the canal water as my shoe would come out smell worse!! It's rank.
