The fact that E-tailors just aren't even trying any more.

I want to buy a Dremel for work, a specific model that is up to the job. A Dremel 8200 cordless.

Try screwfix, unable to deliver and none in stock in their stores
Try B&Q tradepoint, don't sell it
Try normal B&Q, they sell it - but don't deliver
Try homebase, delivery in 3 days

Try Amazon. Yep got it, want it tomorrow? Sorted.

Forgot to pay my mobile bill so it looks like EE've cut my phone off (no warning).

Try to pay online, they've a "technical issue" (their website is *awful*) - can't phone them on 150 because they block all calls - including to their payments lines.

So, no phone, no way of paying the bill.

 

[Raven]

Try direct debit, noob!

I watched a documentary about Amazon the other day, was interesting, the fact they're still losing money is beyond me, - there's french laws that ban them majorly undercutting rivals, but then they still lose money on major books, because of the free delivery, so they're still battering the local bookstores, if it wasn't for the major amount of bookshop hipsters in France, they'd be fooked.

Amazon have a genius business model where they've convinced their shareholders that profit is unnecessary, so long as they're generating enough cash to keep expanding the business. In their world, profit actually inhibits growth.

And they don't pay tax on no profit, win-win

Put son to bed and he finally falls asleep. After the first 30 minutes, to make sure he is down for the night, I turn on the telly to watch the 2nd half of the euro league final and go grab a special beer I've been saving and tonight was gonna be the night. Just as I open it he wakes up.. My beer is now ruined and he is still wide awake!

Take him back to the hospital tomorrow and tell them he's developed a fault, you must have a warranty or something?
He's not even a year old yet, might be a design fault, do you still have the receipt ?

Driving home from a funeral for my grandma in Norfolk. Only to find out 1hr in that the mrs grandpa has died 4000 miles away and the funeral is Saturday.

 

[CorNokZ]

Hospitals' no refund policy!!

 

[Poag]

Getting charged £40 to read the errors on my car, and being told "Nah sorry mate we can't get enough info out of the unit to figure out what the error means, you need to go to a vauxhall dealer"


Well...thanks? Left a shitty garage comment, despite them being just up the road shall not be using them again....

That sucks.

Similar happened to my cousin. Her nan died, went to funeral, her granddad died a few days later. They were both in their 90's. A lot of really old folk do tend to go within a few months of each other.

Aye my gran was 94 or so and her grandad was 97. So not entirely without precedence. Just sucky timing.

So sorry for both of your losses and the timing really sucks

Fate has probably been sealed with the announcement of Halo on the XBone. Blargh. Hoping to come to my senses in the next year so I can just skip this gen of consoles.

 

[Raven]

Halo is shit though.

Cunty games that give me a boss mob so hard I have to rage quit for 18 hours. I know it should be harder but ffs I play games for fun

 

[sayward]

Fridge-freezer had a nervous breakdown in the night and de frosted. Can't get the alarm to stop, sounds like a reversing lorry and we are going away on Sunday.

I'd love to go through the story if it was a pc shooter.

Being on call on FA Cup final day. If I get called in for some bull shit menial task that can wait for Monday I am going to make a formal complaint about this guy. Being in a position where the guy in charge of the Rotas has a grudge against you is a massive ball ache. I even had a mate agree to swap shifts but he said he did not see the paper work until it was too late, 5 minutes notice is not too late as any of us can change the divert. Massive cunt.

 

[CorNokZ]

Call in sick, go down to the local pub, get smashed and volunteer for a BBC interview after you've lost the match

The whole of the UK is supposed to be steaming except for Cornwall and a small bit of South Devon. Guess where I am? A small bit of South Devon. #raingod

Took me a few reads to figure out what you meant, thought you meant the whole country was drunk.

Yeah, but the gamer amount of UK is going to be rather large no matter the platform.

People who say money doesn't buy happiness.

Bacon makes happy.
Money buys bacon.

Taking your bacon costs nothing and brings even more happiness.
