Getting knocked by a learner.
Nobody hurt... (which is good as my daughter was in car) very very slow speed. I was at a junction giving way awaiting to turn.. the learner took the corner bit tight.. missed the front of me I was like ooo that was lucky.. she then proceeded to just knocking the back bumper.
Minor scrape in reality ... broke the paint work though
more annoying is having to deal with it... the driving instructor gave me his number.. said get some quotes (ball ache number 1) and that he will accept liability (which I know you shouldnt at side of road) and he will prob go through insurance anyways....
just something to deal with really when Im going away sunday I dont really want to be dealing with this

2 irritations today
1, my indicator stalk in my Kia has seized, so I can only indicate right, fed up with people tooting me and thinking I am a BMW or Audi driver.
Part ordered grrrrrr
2, why is it that when I am at the self checkout at Tesco and the goods I buy are £9.50. I feed in a £10 note and expect a 50p coin in change.
Why then does it spew out a 20p, 2 x 10p and 2 x 5p
Grrrrrr

A third irritation has arisen.
I’m back at the marital home this week, cat sitting whilst Ex Mrs Fragger and daughters have gone on holiday.
Got some weeds on the drive, trying to sell the place , so I thought I’d get some weedkiller,
Apply when no rain is due for 6 hours it says, bbc app said no rain till Thursday night
90 minutes after applying its chucking it down
Double Grrrrrr

The Boy turned 18 yesterday.
Today he got a birthday card from the Right Horrible David Liddington, our MP.
This is an obvious ploy to try and get said late teenager to vote Tory.
Admittedly, he's the only local politician to try this move but......
Mr Liddington...if you want persuade an 18 year old to vote for you, by all means send him a birthday card
But make sure it gets there on or before the day - a day late doesn't look good.

Some silly woman complaining that FIFA is sexist because the prize money for the Women's World Cup is much lower than the Men's.
That's because no-one cares about it, fans, sponsors, media (outside of the BBC who are ramming it down our throats as it's the only sport they've got).

Mosquitos.
The one that you can hear when the bedroom light goes off but when you switch it back on with the intention of finding the little bu99er you can't see him/her anywhere. Lights goes off, and he/she takes off again and he/she does a fly-by right next to your ear. Light goes on, and no sign of him/her.

And then your premium goes up for the next 3 years, as you have been involved in an accident.
It's rubbish. I have insurance on 2 cars, and idiots have damaged both of them in the recent past. If I claim on either, both of the premiums go up, and my wifes car also. As a result, unless the damage is severe, I cannot afford to claim, and am better off paying for it myself.
It is a crazy situation.
Oh, and drivers who cut corners need shooting.

Sold something on EBay... bloke wants a refund as he says damaged, certainly wasn't and its not the sort of thing that will damage in transit. He says he'll return it when pre-printed labels arrive... it cost £2 to post!!
Item listed as returns not accepted. I think I'll stop selling on ebay, its not worth the bother

I'll have them for my jar. In fact the 50p's go in a metal tin, saving for big golf trips. So it's a win win win for me with change.
just had an email from Torvean thats closed too, Nairn is open so i would expect fortrose to be too, not that the rain looks like stopping any time soon

Fortrose will probably be open, not much crack in this weather though, rain has been relentless.

The thing that annoys me is the wording of the policy that either if you claim or not you have to let them know. Now I appreciate most people don’t but for me I worry that if I had a proper accident or car stolen they would use this as a reason not to pay out! Insurance are sneaky like that..
The way they claim if your involved in a non fault accident your more likely to have an at fault claim in the future
It for me breads dishonesty! (No offence intended) but people will either not fix their car (small scrape) or get it done at a body shop and never tell the company to avoid these unfair rises
My “accident†was such a slow speed.. i was more concerned that the learner involved is going to have a confidence knock .. however the ball ache from it with having to deal with insurance or body shop or whoever make it just annoying
In theory all the cost should be recovered from the instructors insurance as he admitted fault. Got all details etc etc however no doubt they will put a rise on it even though it will have cost them nothing!
