I was in the lane to turn right into Tesco, waiting on the green arrow. There must have been about half a dozen light changes, but no green arrow for me. I sat there for what felt like forever, and eventually gave up and went straight ahead when I got that arrow. All I wanted was a bottle of Mi-Wadi FFS

Just had a nights work cancelled with 1hr 40mins notice ... Not that I would have had any great plans to arrange for a shítty Monday night, but it's annoying all the same.... And I'd already mentally accounted for the money off xmas presents.
That said, I've just worked 18 shifts in 15 days, most being 12-14hrs, so an evening on the sofa is not all bad.

Is it one of those, we will deliver between 8am and 8pm jobs....and when it's not delivered and you call the office, it's "and has the driver not been with you yet ?"

"Yes, of course he has, that why I'm fcuking calling you!!"

No it's more like, because our house is slightly off the beaten track, the driver usually decides fúck this, I'm not going up there. So he buzzes my phone (so the call registers) and then puts the delivery in as "failed: no answer". Then makes himself unavailable for the next three hours while the head office (who wont give me his number) try to call him and he ignores them. Then lo and fúcking behold he will eventually make contact with them at 4pm and say "oh its too late now, we'll put it out for delivery tomorrow". Every. Single. Time.

He'll be getting some hidin' from me tomorrow :eek:

I don't think I have ever felt a rage like this before. (Sorry there is no trivial rage thread). I hope its PMT because otherwise I'm just the anti-Christ...

Is there a TripAdvisor-like site for couriers? Or Twitter, maybe...

Friends of mine often have a similar problem with deliveries - couriers drive by their lane but don't go in, then they leave the parcel in the pub or the shop in the next village, and tell them to go and pick it up from there.

In their place, I'd have ripped them to smithereens.

I had a similar experience a couple of weeks back, I posted a less than complimentary review and it was deleted. Lesson learned is be wary of companies that don't have the odd negative comment.

I look forward to doing this tomorrow. No doubt it will be the same saga again though

On the LUAS coming home from town and I was sitting across from a woman and her young daughter.
The woman had a real flat Dublin accent and she was LOUD.
I mean, fog-horn loud.
Here are some snippets of her conversation:

"C'mere, see when you're out with your Dad on Satday (not a typo), don't tell him you have money left cos he'll be after me. Tell him ya spent it ri'? Dont be tellin that **** anything."

The daughter nods, then says: "Ma, I was just tinkin, will there be killins in the house this Christmas if Marie comes over with Danno and they're drinkin?"
"No love cos I'll fcuking box the flute off da boat a dem".

She then proceeds to talk on the phone to someone about:

-Her Social Welfare Christmas bonus
-The fact she's kitted herself out for Christmas for €40 in Penneys
-She had a lovely bit of hash the other night
-Darren's a c*** and he's not getting his hole tonight

Apart from the vitriol spewing from her gob in front of her child, it was the sheer volume of her that was annoying me the most.

Aglomerado

Red line luas? All human life is there. I was waiting at Jervis earlier and a junkie started asking me for money. I pretended to ignore him and he swore at me saying he hoped I never had kids that ended up on the street. Proceeded to call me " a f*ckin' disgrace, " as I boarded the tram. And then, on board, I am greeted by three hooded skobes skinning up joints..the bang of weed was unmistakable....

I have to say; I never thought the branding of the Red Line as being the worst a very fair assumption, but I'll tell you something; there is truth to the statement.
It's rare I take public transport but being on the LUAS today actually made me feel nervous.
There were a few fellas, strung out, lolling about all over the seats and I was just waiting for something to happen.

Olly Murs and his clothes that are too small on him. And the way he says 'Rita Ora' he say 'Riterora'. He puts an r in there where it's not meant to be.

I'll tell you something worse, a few years ago I once drove from Sligo to Galway to cover an on call night shift. Only to be told when I arrived that they didn't need me because they had it covered. Of course the dopes forgot to tell me about it, but at least I got 4 hours pay for my troubles.
