Emails with 'Read Receipt'

You can cash cheques through a lot of banking apps now, it just scans a photo of it and does the business.

I always click no. I'm not telling them I've read it just in case they expect me to do something afterwards.

I do like it when people make a comment on a call "did you get my e-mail?" "Yes" and leave it like that.

I wish people would be more direct. When people call to ask if you received an email, what they mean to say is 'why the hell have you not responded to my email yet'. Don't hide it, if you are chasing a response then at least fess up to it.
my work phone rang but i was on a zoom call and couldn't answer so the caller ends the call. they then ring back another 5 times in the space of 2 minutes and follow up with an email (cc'ing my boss in) saying they've tried to call me

I’ve just had a similar email from someone who has cc’d half the project team into something that was previously a conversation between them and myself.
It starts with. I tried to call, and follows with a load of criticism on items that were previously ok ??
. They clearly didn’t try hard enough to call as there were no missed calls or messages.Some people are just ? heads.

You can throw in people who think you've made a mistake so copy half the world on to the "ha-ha" e-mail. Then when they realise they are wrong, they only mail you directly and not copy everyone else.
That guarantees you a place on my shtit list for life.

Tesco parking Nazis ,Horizon, sending me a parking fine for staying their car park for 6 hours a couple of weeks ago..nice, pretty pictures showing the car between 9 and 3 on the day..
Can't argue..the car was there..
Their wonderful technology obviously failed to see me leave the car park at 9.30 and return at 2.45..in-between I did an hour's lesson and the car was also out on a driving test at 12.30...
I've no doubt the "fine" will be cancelled when they get the evidence ....it's the PITA that I have to go through to do it when it's their tech that's ballsed it up...
Useless bunch of mindless jerks that'll be first against the wall come the revolution

Private parking enforcers have little power. They can't "fine" you, it's a breach of contract issue that can only be dealt with in the civil courts.Tesco parking Nazis ,Horizon, sending me a parking fine for staying their car park for 6 hours a couple of weeks ago..nice, pretty pictures showing the car between 9 and 3 on the day..

If you know you're in the right, all you need to do is explain it to them once, say that you aren't paying, and if they want to risk going to court and having costs awarded against them, feel free to try.

Exactly what I intend to do.
It's just irritating that they use technology that, obviously, misses cars leaving or arriving..
That shouldn't be difficult...

I had that at our local Tesco. I went in and spoke to Customer Services and showed them a petrol receipt from 40 miles away with the time printed on it slap bang in the middle of the time they said I was parked there. They cancelled the fine for me.

I usually leave plenty time to get to golf course and drive about 60-65 as I'm retired and never need to rush anywhere but due to hold up in Tesco was running a wee bit late today, it's a two lane expressway all the way with a 70mph limit, was toddling along at about 73-74 when I see a tractor in the distance and a white BMW X5 coming up pretty fast behind, one of those where you wonder do I pull out and accelerate or just let them go past, so of course i pull out well in advance pass the tractor pull back in only to have them go past me put their blue lights on and display 'slow down' they didn't stop me but i will now have 14 days to wait and see if I get a ticket, it's bloody annoying as it would be my first offence in 46 years of driving

if the police vehicle was catching you up, it must have be speeding. As they didn’t have their emergency lights operating, they were more guilty than you.

Yeah I know i thought about that but don't know if that's much of a defence for me, there's no doubt I would be over the limit but hopefully not for long enough distance wise, is it measured at half a mile ?
My worry is that it's an automated process from car to computer and the ticket will just come out automatically

Sorry meant a quarter of a mile not a half, someone mentioned that to me
We had our sofas delivered almost 12 months ago and today was the 3rd attempt at the manufacturer replacing one of the cushions and it’s still not the right one.
Guess who’ll be on the phone to the finance provider again tomorrow

Horizon are useless as is their technology. Few years back they sent me a notice and a picture of my car going in and a different one coming out...
