Random Irritations

[USER1999]

Mercedes main dealerships. They want £1600 plus vat to service my car, and yet don't seem to be able to employ a receptionist who can transfer my phone call to the service department. The bloke I have been speaking to has a lower iq than my cat, and that is being generous.

Our course is on preffered lies due to fairways struggling in many areas so our wonderful captain and president have had the common sense to host a “concert on the fairway” using our first tee on an area where 80% of the people play from - idiots

Holy smoke, that is some cost. What Merc do you have? Is it is a special service that needs extra time / work. A Merc, E Class, is bit of a dream car for me but that would turn my hair white

In my office there are always loads of pints of milk in the fridge, as we get them delivered in bulk obviously. But without fail someone has always opened one with several days left on the use-by date instead of the ones that go out of date sooner. Why don't people check that and open the one that goes off sooner?? Even though I have zero input into the ordering of milk that still annoys me. The other week they had to throw it out loads that were dated the 4th while somebody had opened and used one dated the 8th.

It is a bit special, so the cost is what it is. It is one of only 82 CLS63 AMGS shooting brakes in RHD. 577bhp of monster V8 estate. I love it, but flipping heck it can be expensive. This is the B service, the bigger one, combined with a gear box oil change, and a differential oil change. Still eye watering though.

We have this exact problem in my room. Such wastage because people don’t simply check

I’m nights tonight and tomorrow so I’ll be in for tomorrow’s delivery. I’ll do it properly and rotate the stock.. others just throw the new stuff At the front meaning the back is never used

People you don't know, have never met or spoken to thinking they can have some close to the bone banter with you.. Happened today at one the gyms I use, they got a new receptionist who decided to say something that only someone close to me can get away with😠

My response was less than polite

Sky +HD box - so irritating 😁😁
Developed a fault that means it needs re-booting 2 or 3 times a day.
Thinking of going for Sky Q
Has anyone got any recommendations ?

Isn't everyone on Q - they happily gave me a Q box (and a discount) when I threatened to leave Sky

I've had this box for several years - Q is obviously the next generation.

Let's just say it was the sort of banter you'd have when still in the forces about someone's Mrsor Mum.. However in this case it was about my 19year old daughter, they're lucky they were working behind a counter or I'd have likely dropped them for it.

No. That is the name and model of the car. I was asked what car it was, and that is the answer. If Mercedes had wanted to call it an estate, they would have done.

Of course, in the same way Audi have “ Avant” models.
I get why the description is how they do it, but it’s still an “estate”

Or maybe all estates are "Avants"

As in Austin Allegro Avant?
Don’t think that works.
