New - The things that really annoy you

[Loki]

We had to be back by 1 as amazon getting delivered between 1 and 3

She`s high maintenance mate. Dump her.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Tell her to do her own Christmas shopping that’s for sure

 

[Alan]

We all have things we need to be in control of, I suppose…

 

[Hereford Wolf]

When the Mrs makes me take her to FINISH the Christmas shopping, spend all day on Friday crawling around Merry Hell and walsall, then wakes up today to make me take her to crawl around Telford.

Finally finished and she blames Wolves for playing on Christmas Eve, nothing to do with her not organising herself, she has 52 a weeks to sort her crap out.

I know its smug but I have all my presents bought and wrapped by August. Come November/December I am so happy!
Tell your wife that its the future!

Tbf we've had 8 kids, oldest in their 30s and 9 grandkids, and she wants xmas to be perfect for them all, she tends to start buying for them in September after the holidays.

I was done by October, fuck that two month stress again, never. I’ve never enjoyed December so much.

People locking doors and leaving the key in the lock, so when you go around there you can't unlock the bloody door.

Oh bloody ell you’ve just reminded me, my Dad, bless him, used to have visits twice a day from a care company to give him his medication before he had to go into a Care home.
I fitted a key safe next to his front door, every time I went to see him I’d say, ‘Dad don’t forget to take the key out of the door when you lock it’.
Did he take the key out?, did he fuck!

The mother in law does this all the time. It is fucking annoying.

It's definitely folk of a certain age it would seem. I can understand locking it, but as I frequently pop round and that's my only way to get in then it'd damned annoying.

M5 electronic signage

Miles of "some shit football team are at home on a day that isn't today and you may see some traffic, mainly 5 mins before full time"

Then suddenly "oh yeah...you are in a queue we should have told you about miles back..lolz..bit of bantz"

Text descriptions may be different but are the jist of it

Car insurance, my renewal quote is 50% more than last year, robbing bastards. I realise the cost of living has gone up and inflation has been over 10% at times recently but 50 % is just taking the piss. Means I've got trawl through quotes.

My new policy started today. Company I was with quoted £649 (paid £206 last year), comparison sites came up with 1st Central as the cheapest so paid £360 plus I amended to my private plate today and unlike many they didn't charge an admin fee for the amendment

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

No idea how they can justify these hikes.

My daughter did this just before Christmas and it twisted our lock when my wife tried to unlock the door. Cost me £95 to replace it!

Yeah, harks back to the days when it was thought that burglars would pick the old fashioned mortice locks. Nowadays they just break the locks.

It's Just sharp practice.
I'm with the AA as brokers but actually Axa.
Got to be prepared to phone them up and tell them you'll fuck off if they don't lower it. 4 refusals later it had come down from €575, (fully comp + protected full no claims bonus) to €415.
Cunts.

There have been some crazy spikes this year. Range Rovers became almost uninsurable with premiums regularly quoted at £20k + from
the few providers remaining who haven’t pulled out altogether.

Residual values subsequently tanked and JLR have been forced to re-introduce an in-house insurance scheme in an attempt to shore them up.

Range Rover owners won’t get much sympathy but it’s panic stations at JLR and quite an interesting and still unravelling story.

 

[The Bear]

The way they are justifying these rises is repair costs because of supply chain issues for parts. That means longer hire car costs.

 

[Keef]

I’m currently car parts delivery, quite a lot of them have made in Ukraine on the boxes, they’ve been having a few issues the last 18 months or so, lot of Land Rover parts are made in Slovakia, and then there’s the semi conductor supply issues since Covid, all of this helps with pushing insurance costs up
