Are you mad? The bacon double cheeseburger is sent from heaven. And their fries are great.
Not a patch on Five Guys though.

People using the reply all function for stuff that in no way needs to be seen by everyone.

Or people who should use reply all, but don't, meaning half the people on the original circulation now have no idea what is going on.

Purposefully use them When sorting big golf breaks so everyone can pay at hotel. Also means I can keep an eye out for special offers at other places or amend numbers until week before.
So imagine my surprise when they took close to £1200 from my account due to the hotel In question not offering that option. Even though the rooms I chose had that selected and still show the option now. Speak to customer services and get told hotel have no refund policy but they will put special request in due to it being their error. I then get copy of request which is a standard one saying I want to cancel as per terms and expect no refund!
Made worse by fact I used debit card as it was only a reservation, not booking and card was simply meant to used to hold it.

People who are utterly clueless about what to do when a vehicle is behind them on blue lights.
Two lane approach to a traffic light junction. Lights are at red. Ambulance in lane 2, blue lights no sirens, with about 3 vehicles ahead of it, lane 1 solid. Lights turn green, ambulance puts sirens on, lane 1 stays put to let the ambulance go whilst the vehicles in lane 2 try to force their way into the packed lane 1 🙄
PULL THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT AND THEN MOVE OVER YOU CRETINS.
How do they remember to breathe?

Sounds like I need to give them another chance, but not the one I went to.
Poor food and awful service.
Just seen the new Ford Mustang! It looks like an estate and it’s bloody electric

I was thinking that. It's not even an estate. It's a cross over SUV come estate thingy , come nasty more like. Talk about abusing your heritage.

Thought I'd leave work early today to spend some time with Mrs Wolf as we had a busy weekend but...
Somehow when unplugging my phone from my desk I managed to damage a small pin in the charging port on my phone rendering the charging/USB post unusable so had to go into town to buy a wireless charging unit for at home.
Upon getting back to the car in car park, I find the rear passenger side tyre completely deflated and turns out I've a puncture that's not repearable costing me £180 for a new tyre.
So not only did I not get home early despite leaving work at 2pm, it was in fact 7pm when I arrived home, I walk in the door find Mrs Wolf in tears as the dragon in law has been round having a pop at her again... Today can truly kiss my arse ðŸ˜
