Random Irritations

It's the one day of the year that definitely don't work.
1st Thursday in September is Bucks County Show day in a field about 3 miles north of town.
It hasn't been on for the last 2 years so it's going to be popular
Before Covid the traffic queues made it virtually impossible to drive around town...it's going to be worse today.
And...there are 5 or 6 major sets of roadworks to add to the mayhem....
Its going to be, literally, carnage out there.
I'm only going out to go to the golf club...in the opposite direction.....
 
the first elizabeth line train departs Abbey Wood station at 6.20 but they dont open the gates to the platforms until.......6.20
 
clients - managed to get a 25% reduction in their premium and they still want it cheaper even though all the other quotes i had were more than last year

Here its Ganesh Chaturthi being celebrated today so similar traffic snarl up for us as they all come down to the beach to immerse an clay idol of Ganesh in the sea while giving it laldy on the drums
 
I know its been mentioned before but Parcelforce tracking is the ultimate contradiction in terms....utterly useless.
Parcel delivered..tracking say On route to hub and dated 2 days ago.
I know they've been on strike but what's the point of tracking if its 2 days behind....

I usually say it might as well say "has it been delivered - yes/no" for how much use it is. But in your case they've not even managed that? :LOL:
 
Paypal changing their log on page .. still entering the same code from my 2 factor app but now it's 6 boxes instead of 1 box which stops the copy and paste option working

Annoying
 
Ticketmaster; try to buy 2 tickets for a show at the O2 and only blocks of 3 or single seats left. Choose 2, go to checkout and it says you can’t leave a single seat. So how did the other singles get there?

It wouldn't let me buy 2 seats for a west end show a few years ago. So started a 2nd session and put 1 seat in the shopping basket. Return to 1st session and buy and complete the order for 2 seats. Then cancel the 2nd session for 1 seat.
 
Granddaughter has her first mobile. Mainly to use for Freestyle libre. We didn't realise it doesn't come with a charger/plug and of course any plugs we have aren't suitable:mad:
 
Somehow I have managed to pull my right calf muscle

Currently got a compression sleeve on and using a massage gun to try and ease it
 
People with touring caravans. Particularly those that cannot keep them pointing the right way up.

Also, aggressive wagon drivers through roadworks with average speed cameras.
 
Bank fraud departments. They ring you and leave a message asking to ring them back on a number that cannot be verified as belonging to the Bank by looking at thier website. Smacks of a fraud to me, no way am I going to ring it. Then ringing the publicaly available help line only to find it really is their number and the people at the other end saying "I see what you mena, I wouldn't ring it either". There must be a reason but I can't work it out.
