My taxi driver ruined my classical music smooth ride home by jibber-jabbering about how much it cost him to do his job.

Fucking SKY has cancelled my broadband and phone line for no apparent reason, having only had it for less than a month

So now I have to wait ANOTHER 14 days (actually, only 11 perhaps) until an Openreach dude comes to officially connect me.

I've made a complaint and advised that I will be requiring compensation, and set out very C.A.L.M.L.Y. that I will require compensation for the data I'm buying as I have to use the personal hotspot on my own phone, but I also have no idea whether the hospital will charge me for using data /the hotspot on their phone and whether they will dock my wages for the cost of it.

I may have thrown a bit of a strop.
A polite strop, but a strop nonetheless.

New neighbours last week, a few houses down. They seem ok, so why am I posting in here?

Today has appeared a large and constantly barking dog. It appears to bark constantly while they are out

I bought a twin-syringe pack of Gorilla epoxy glue a few weeks back. I opened it today and one syringe was empty apart from two small drops. There were more drops on the piston shaft and around the blister packaging but the rest must have evaporated. Receipt long gone.

The internet, specifically BT.

I'm currently getting 1.3Mbit download and 0.3mbit upload. I got faster than that the very first time I moved to broadband from 56k modem...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

If you leave apple juice to clear for too long before bottling it, it goes all fizzy and the material that sinks to the bottom gets mixed up again, ruining the clarity. Then after pasteurising it you get sediment in the bottle. It does not look like this any more. Grr!

On a bus in Stafford, going from home to town. It was rammed, the only seat available was the old codgers seat directly in front of the push chair/wheel chair space. Large girl (really large girl) with pushchair. She was sat in the seat facing outwards into the isle rather than forward facing, I asked her why she wasn't wearing a mask when everyone else was. I got a gobfull of abuse.

Cheeky frump. I made a point of making an "Oink" sound as I passed her to get off.

Management. The type of hostile fuck wits who genuinely believe their job would be great if it wasn't for the fact they have to deal with their staff (I'm quoting one of them directly there, and there was no hint of irony, implied or otherwise).

Cheap cunt landlords.

Like most blocks of flats, we have a communal bin store.

Landlords seem to think that they an dispose of shit tenants leave behind all over the place because they're too cheap to pay £25 to take it to the tip. Managing agents are hiding behind Covid to actually get off their arse and do anything about it.

If I ever make the mistake to buy a flat again, it'll be owner occupiers only.
