Random Irritations

So it really is pot luck who does your passport...

Just heard that twin 2 passport on hold as the person who signed it doesn't meet the standards

Oh that would be the same person who signed her two sisters passports which have been approved lol

Re submitted with another person as requested

Won't be pushing it as the other 2 approved with my colleague so don't want them to not send those passports lol

So in the end both the amber pictures approved and the green one failed ?

At least they are all on the way to the printers lol

I thought deliveroo had started using the passcode system? Or is it only certain orders with them? Last one we did for work I had to type in the number they had emailed me into his phone before the food could be handed over

I've seen that it but it might be dependent on the restaurant activating it because we don't get it every time.

 

[Orikoru]

It might make him an idiot, but not the thief you’ve publicly accused him of being.

Christ, you really will go into bat for anyone won't you? Can't criticise McIlroy, or Premier League footballers, or even the humble nameless Deliveroo driver. ?

I think it should be standard by now. We had a driver or someone take a big order few weeks ago and they refused to refund my colleague

Annoying thing is whenever we go somewhere new they can't find us half the time.. even tho we are on Google earth. The postcode for us takes them half way down road and we don't have a door number

But Google earth and what3words just don't seem to work with their apps, all built in GPS .. need to add what3words .. altho deliveroo is my preferred as they let you drop a pin.. (still drive past the gate)

Iceland walked down our order the other day it was like seriously drive down lol it's not a short drive

On this occasion the app showed him arrive at the beginning of our road (after about an hour of waiting) and then stop there for a bit. Made no attempt to contact us and then, in fact I misspoke earlier as I remember now he marked it as 'unable to deliver' or something but claiming they couldn't contact us. Which he hadn't attempted to do. I had messaged him in the app (ignored) and was about to call but as soon as he does that the option to call disappears. Infuriating.

People who are too lazy to do their own shopping or cook their own food, complaining when they don't get want they want. If it bothers you that much, go and collect it yourself!

PS - Part of this is tongue in cheek

Deliveroo et al don't operate in my area so it's collection only here!

I reckon he must do a bit of deliveroo on the side. Maybe in the Watford area.?

Smelly people generally but evenmore so when on a aeroplane for 8hrs. Horrific

I'll just leave this there, as someone said...

Deliveroo driver stealing our food and marking it delivered when it wasn't. So that was us eating at 9pm by the time we'd got a new order sent out.

Not sure I've ever said Premiership footballers were beyond criticism; as to the others, it's about the how, not the who, which is the irritation.

Me getting the wording wrong didn't make any difference, he never made any reasonable attempt to deliver it. Why are you sticking up for a random Deliveroo driver when you don't even know his name? I already knew you like to disagree with everything I say but this is just getting silly.

Try and remember, nothing any of us say on here actually matters a jot in the grand scheme of life.

Technology isn’t perfect, nor are we. Assuming we are always right can sometimes be a “mis assumption”…

Not being able to shake a random ankle injury that just showed up last week for no reason ..

Bit the bullet and booked a buggy for our society away trip Thursday Friday.

I was looking forward to the walk

Spending four days near Leominster in a lovely cottage chillin. Driving around on near empty roads. The beautiful green countryside all around for miles and miles, and having to return to my hell hole of a town today

Are we at war with China? Maybe need need to reward our ex service colleagues more so they aren't as tempted

If they can't see the problems in what they did then I would question their thought processes and desire for money.

I seem to remember a report from a few years ago that basically said the one thing that would stop China from being almost unbeatable in a conventional war was their lack of fighter pilots and pilot ability.
