New - The things that really annoy you

[Lupo]

The cunt (presumably in Seville) that has scuffed the side of my hire car. You fucking cunt

Looked this morning and doesn't look as bad as when I first saw it (barely noticeable) and paintwork not penetrated, a bit of Tcut would sort it I reckon.

I've calmed down a bit now, hopefully a smooth drop off tomorrow before flying home

 

[Keef]

Can’t you stand in front of it while they do the check, sign the paperwork and leggit, then tell them it was fine when I handed it back, your guy checked it over and signed it off when they phone up later.
I’ll admit to doing it this once or twice with hire cars

 

[Lupo]

Yeah I had thought to do that, seems less noticeable than I thought anyway

Drive through some muddy puddles, that'll do it.

Thought of that too but unfortunately doesn't look like it's rained for months, it's more like a desert!

Car drop was fine, I couldn't even see it today. I think I mither too much. Chap on our flight with the red away shirt

People who say wind mirror instead of wing mirror.
There are a lot of them.

They aren't even wing mirrors any longer, they are door mirrors!

That's a very pacific gripe.

Comment a bit too close Bear?

As my 21 year old car I bought in October needs several repairs to the running gear (€1500 plus, maybe €500 urgently) and it's not worth it I decided I would try to finance the purchase of a something a bit newer. I've just been turned down on the basis of my residents permit not being correct, this despite me checking with Immigration yesterday, who confirmed for the second time since brexit that I don't need any other paperwork.

I've also had issues at the airport trying to get back into the country, so either the banks and the police are talking bollocks, or immigration are, but the fact remains access to the financial services I've been able to use for 35 years has been cut off, and all I need is some jobsworth at the border and I won't be allowed back in the country.

With that in mind I've just dropped the car repair budget on an application for German citizenship. Thanks Brexit voting cunts

I don't have a garage...

 

[pagey]

Sorry, but everytime I see a delivery driver drop a clanger it reminds me of this.

Had a similar "to your outbuilding " recently. I have no outbuilding. Parcel pushed under my car

The current fad on social media, largely by people who don't like football, to call England "The England Men's Team".

Fuck off and then fuck off again. You don't 'need' to say 'men's team' this month any more than you needed to say 'women's team' in one of their tournaments. Millie Bright isn't the england women's team captain, she's the England captain. You don't need to say women's or men's WHEN IT'S BLATANTLY FUCKING OBVIOUS WHICH TEAM YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Probably belong to the same group who call phone in’s and refer to the Premier League as the Premiership.

I find it very forced and a little bit antagonistic, but one of the issues is the Women’s World Cup and the Women’s FA cup for example have the sex specified in the name of the competition.

Presumably someone/a committee has deemed that necessary/appropriate, whereas the men’s competition, FIFA World Cup, FA Cup doesn’t.

I suppose including ‘Men’s’ in the title of their competition’s will be the next step but it’s a never ending spiral trying to satisfy the SM fringe.

Not something that’s likely to go away or get easier unfortunately.

Whichever prick that scheduled the final at 8pm on a Sunday.

 

[ROVERT47]

Works for me, every days a Sunday when you’re retired.
