Random Irritations

UBER.

Account hacked in January. Loads of rides in USA. Credit card charged. I blocked it. Now have to contact Uber to sort this out. Utter hopeless. Different people replying asking for same information that I cannot supply. Yet they (Uber) have given my credit card company all the charge details printed out. Which I have copies off.

I don't know what to do now. It's, apparently down to me to sort. Proper fed up.

Disconnect from the internet, immediately & permanently. (y)
 
Memorial Day in the USA today and it's traditionally the Indianapolis 500. I love the race, the whole event and it's on my bucket list to go one day. It's been provisionally re-scheduled until August but I'm just really missing it not being on today. I have dealt with the loss of baseball and hockey for the past two months but this one did get me sad today.
 
OK genuine question, I asked you this before when you said about being hacked.

Do you "share" lots on Facebook, like all sensational stuff? You know, comparing homeless ex soldiers to immigrants on benefits, that sort of thing. "Who will share this?" "Can I get a thousand likes?" etc etc.

Are you always receiving, opening and forwarding videos and stuff via messenger and WhatsApp?

Don't share much on FB. A mate sends loads of vids on Whatsapp. Why?
 
You must have the worst security in the world. You’re constantly being scammed. Have you tried not using passwords like PASSWORD and 1234 yet?

I've now come up with a code that i can remember and hopefully cannot be easilly hacked. My FB account is currently under attack, but I've got a two stage thing on it so they are not getting through.
 
Our local council who couldnt wait to reopen every car park and start charging again (despite not opening other facilities, emptying bins etc) have the gall to ask if people would stop coming now theyre full on a bank holiday monday lol

WTF did they expect???

Lets not talk about all the motorhopmes and makeshift campsites that they appear to be doing nothing about either

❗ Our seafront car parks are full ❗ Please #ThinkTwice before visiting the beach - there are other less busy but equally lovely open spaces to enjoy or please #StayHome. If you do go out, please avoid parking in local roads or breaching traffic regulations and risking a fine.
Please also note that whilst some toilets are open across the seafront, many throughout the borough remain closed. We are doing our best to open more as soon as we can but only when it it safe to do so. Remember national advice remains to stay home as much as possible.
 
Horse flies.

Also idiots walking and cycling on the golf course now it is open, who will not accept that it is private property.

Idiots who are not members, but now think it OK to park their car in the private golf club car park, so they can walk there dog on the private golf course.

100s of people parking on the side of the road going though the lanes, effectively reducing it to one way traffic, so they can walk their dog in the woods when the car parks are full.

Who said people weren't stupid...standard Bank Holiday isn't it...I'm staying at home...
 
Neighbours allowing their kids to unpack all their toys on our drive and then get moody when we want to go out and ask them to move them. Quite easy, move them or we'll squash them and while we're at it what part of OUR drive is public land. Bad enough listening to the kids screaming up and down the street and everyone shouting....what happened to relaxing in the garden - even with music and headphones you can still hear them but don't get narky when you're in the wrong

Did you not do a recon before you bought the house to see the type of neighbours you would have?.
I bet you and your wife are the type of neighbour everyone doesn’t like.
It seems you have a lot to moan about regarding your neighbours and their children.
Move would be the best option, it might cheer the neighbours up :)

You threatened to squash some kids toys because they were on your drive? :eek:Why don’t you move to over 50s accommodation? You seem to have quite an issue with your neighbours kids
 
BBC showing Hoburne wanting to open their parks back up and claiming they have full support of the locals based on a few interviews! Thats so far from the local feeling its laughable, not to mention the sentiment towards them for having gated off all the paths that allow people along the coastal path at Highcliffe and instead force them back inland and onto the main road!

I’ll be on your side :ROFLMAO:

Unfortunately people don’t have consideration for their neighbours and their little darlings can do no wrong.

Nothing irritates me more than neighbours who can’t keep their noise and toys and in your case contained within their boundaries.
Maybe my upbringing in a poxy terrace living on top of my neighbours made me more mindful.
