Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[Polarbear]

I like prime. I will use Amazon over ebay simply because their return/complaints system is so good. A set of BA taps and dies from India was wrong, complained and a new set was sent out straight away. They didn't even ask for the old ones back.

However, I agree they are 'clever' with their buttons but no more so than any other 'free trial' online company.

I'd previously accidentally clicked on free trial so let it run and after a month it stopped with no charge, the recent trickery caught me out too and though I have cancelled it, looks like if you don't they just start charging.
I'm not buying downloadable videos here, our broadband is about 2mb even if I wanted them.
Delivery is usually fast anyway without trying to do next day when there was no need.
They annoyed me the other day by claiming to have been unable to access the 'building' then changed it to unable to access 'front door'.
I was close by all day and nobody came.
I fully understand some days they have too many packets and things go wrong - so say that - don't start telling lies, making you wonder if they tried to deliver to wrong address.
It came next day as normal.

Refund from a utilities company ... in cheque form. Couldn't they have just punted it back to my account electronically?

It shouldn't take a day to move a mobile phone number to a different network as technology should be better than that by now.

The BBCs show, Brexitcast. For some stupid teason I've ended up watching it again. It's some sort of perverse masochistic thing. Then just a few minutes ago I realised what it is that Laura Kuensbore and Co remind me of, they're like the most boring twats you'd make the mistake of sitting next to in the University Union bar before you learned to spot the dull tw@ts first.

I might have caught a medical condition. If caught is the right term. My hands seem to shake a lot and If I sit on a chair watching telly one of my feet seem to shake with no explanation, Dr Google suggest early onset of Parkinsons. I take Seretide/Ventolin and am hoping after many years it's a side effect of that. I can't hold either hand out without it trembling. I also get fingers (mainly pinky fingers) going to sleep randomly.

A trip to the quack is in order, I'm too scared to make the appointment though incase he tells me something I don't want to hear. Oh and it's not alcohol related as tea total. I eat a fuck load of chocolate though so also hoping sugar related.

Its the bad AIDS for you, sunshine

Yeah, Ventolin on it's own is crap. I need to get the Seretide steroid down me first thing in the morning and last thing at night or else I fear death through closed airways.

The shaking thing is bad news. Whoever design these drugs wants to do a fucking proper job. Side effects my arse.

[Sister Sledge]

Tbh I'd rather shake than slowly suffocate to death! I get what you mean though. One example is if I'm welding something intricate - I've seen me chop welding rods in half to lessen the shaking effect at the weld..

Side effects in medicines is a thing and they're often prescribed not for their intended use and more for that side effect.

I'm on several inhalers which include stand alone medication and also mixes like you're describing. I've not been offered alternatives for a long time which likely means there are currently no alternatives. The steroids thing is a major concern but for me it's working - I might shake but I've also not had an episode for quite some time.
I'm not sure how you're prescribed? If you've not been to an asthma clinic for over a year then get it organised. Doctors can and do misdiagnose ailments.

My parents rang to say they'd bought an anniversary present and inadvertently signed up to Amazon Prime.

Half term and there are still twats on the road

Came up to a mini roundabout and the road behind me was free of traffic so I thought I'd pause and adjust my mirrors. Glad I did! Just as I was entering the roundabout a van came flying around the corner: speeding, no right of way, wrong side of the road, zero fucks given. As I screeched to a halt - the van missing me by about a foot - I noticed the driver was on their mobile

Shame I was on the way to work otherwise it would have been interesting to tail them.

Have had a lingering cough for the last two weeks. Had it at exactly the same time last year.

It can cunt off now.
