Spend some time responding to the email.

But realize it's "no reply" address.

But you send reply anyway.

And you know you're going to have to go back to that stupid web form again.

My flippin dog jumped over the (easily 5.5 foot) wall into next door as soon as she was let out this morning. Their garden is a good bit lower than ours and the neighbour is retired so we didn't really want to go ringing/calling into them at 7.30 in the morning asking would they let our dog through their house. She eventually managed to get herself back over by taking a massive run at at. FFs, dog, you're almost 13, that's too old to be going jumping fences!

Why is it that the people who practically stampede to be first onto the bus are invariably the ones who only then start rummaging for their Leap card, and more often than not have to top it up too??? 😠

The amount of people who push past older or disabled people is disgusting also. I often bring my disabled sister into town on a Saturday and the worst thing is it's usually adults, teenagers still seem to have manners.

I was in Aldi, one till open. Long queue, so they opened up another till. The woman in front waddled over with her basket and put her shopping(around 8 items) right at the back of the conveyor belt, which wasn't moving.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with some people? She showed ZERO consideration for anyone else. There's 12 foot(maybe more) of the conveyor belt. I had a cardboard box of shopping in one hand and a couple of bouquets of flowers in the other, which I had to hold onto for a few minutes until the retail worker turned up.

She should have put her shopping right at the top of the conveyor belt. She didn't even put her empty basket in the bay at the back. I had to do it with my foot. I turned around to an elderly woman behind me, and you just knew she was thinking the same thing about the woman in front, "You absolute ####!"

Going up the travelator in Lidl, person in front had a trolley, family behind also had a trolley.

Lady in front gets to the top, the immediately stops to get something from her handbag.

I managed to just about dodge her, but the next family clipped her with their trolley.

She loses it and apparently it's all the family's fault.

Some people shouldn't be allowed out unsupervised

I know . I'm disabled but can use a stick , carefully . And the amount of " ah for F's sakes I hear from people behind me is un real as they nearly knock me down passing . I'm tempted to stick the cane between their feet sometimes.

Similar to myself in my spending and yet I rarely have delivery issues, unlike other poster who consistently complains about deliveries.

Use decent companies, if a delivery takes an extra few days it's not the end of the world. If I really needed something and it was necessary for it to arrive urgently I'd go and find a bricks and mortar place to buy it.

Please do not comment negatively on other peoples Ta's, it's a long standing thread rule.

Needed to get a particular blood test done as a precursor to a specific medical procedure back in the summer. Was initially inconclusive so had to get it done again, and this time the readings suggested I have a low immune system.

Now I don't know/don't remember if I happened to be under the weather at the time of the re-test and it showed up because of that, or if I have a more serious ailment.

But of course, I have to book ANOTHER blood test to discover more.

Just out on my evening walk with the dog. My route cuts through a rough area.

Theres dogs left out on balconies. The last few times I pass one of the dog barks. The owner comes out, holds the dog and it cries out in pain. I don't know what he's doing to it. So cruel.

Then a little kid on a scooter rams into me twice. I shout at him. He runs off to tell his mother. She starts screaming and shouting at me on the street.

I'm not taking that route anymore.

Had an appointment yesterday for something that isn't too serious but I just wanted checked out so that I can rule out a concern I have. Waited 2months for the appointment (which should have been a red flag).

Anywho, got seen too by a lovely lady that I felt was thorough in her assessment so I was happy to go back to her with a follow up.

She told me to do A,B,&C and come back in one months time. So, booking my next appointment & the receptionist said something along the lines of.. 'I'm sorry, but we don't have an appointment in one months time - it'll be JULY before we have availability'.

July! - FOUR months away.

Not exactly TA'd, more raging. I only booked in with them because it was convenient on my work route.

Lovely lady, but I'll moving on somewhere else..

Last night, YouTube suggested some vintage music videos from a festival a few years back. I landed on one song I remembered hearing over and over during a very special night in my life. Decades later, sitting at home, I closed my eyes and drifted back to the sights and sounds of that time. When I reopened my eyes, I saw a mature section of the audience giving it welly, and the lyrics clearly resonating with them. That’s when it hit me—others probably see me as that old now.

Guess the ta!

seeing the same poster posting all day on numerous threads usually taking up a contrary opinion.

SuperBowserWorld · 01-04-2026 12:48PM

2 bus routes. Same route for 50% of the journey. Depart every 30 minutes.

If they staggered them, there could be a bus service for 50% of the people every 15 minutes, and same as before for the other 50%.

I was asked to fill in an official form(tho they have my sld info on file) now i have to sign in and out of work to go to that office for something mysterious, I am 1000% sure its bc they cant read the info on the form.

This means I'll be up earlier than I have to be, dress like a grown up, fight the weather, sit in overheated offices and explain basic info all over again. lets hope next door arnt heavy on the smoke as it takes me most of the day to recover from what they burning now and thats a bad look in these sits.

ALL of my contact media requests they send me anything that needs filling in says to send ONLINE!

Ta that people who dont read or highlight /right click to discover what words like dyslexia and dyspraxia mean in this context.
