Todays - What Grinds my gears

[Polarbear]

My dog was spayed yesterday. She is now the biggest diva going. She stood next to her bed (6 inches high) whining until I lifted her on. After doing some chores I went back in the lounge and she is now on wifies chair snoreing happily.

She has a coat to stop her licking the wound, way better than the cone of shame but having to unbutton it when ever she wants a pee or a poo is fun, not!!!

I just hope she doesn't have an accident overnight or there is going to be a big pooey mess everywhere.

Someone I know with a cat was given a sort of "onesey" for their cat to stop it from licking its wound after a front leg amputation. Kinda like a baby-gro

Looked v.funny but yes, a definite improvement on the cone.

I would like to see something along the lines of the 'Cone of Shame' for humans.
Just to stop some of them talking to me.

People getting sponsored for doing bucket list stuff "for charity"... there's always somebody at work or on social media begging for sponsorship to do a parachute jump, or to climb Kilimanjaro or something.... look at me, aren't I great?

It's never made clear to sponsors that a large chunk of the donated cash goes to pay for the individual's actual trip or activity, and only a portion goes to the charity. How is that right? If you want to go off and have fun doing something like that, it's fine by me, but don't expect me to be coughing up for your fancy holiday.

The latest one I've seen is that the local hospice is pushing 5-day expedition trekking in Iceland. All you need to come up with yourself is £390, and then you have to guarantee to raise at least £3,300 through sponsorship - that money gets split between your holiday costs and the charity. Out of interest, I looked into the actual cost of the trip - it's about £2,000. Just me, or isn't that a bit outrageous?

Wifie and her sisters does these charity runs sh1t. When I found out she has to pay an entry fee and get donations to run in some events I was quite scathing. You give your time and effort in training and running and they still expect you to pay them for the privilege of entering?

I was told it's normal and they were happy to do it.

In 2025 wifie, her sister and her cousin are all flying to Hawaii to enter the marathon or whatever race it is so flights, hotels AND paying to enter a race to shag yourself out but maybe its subsidised. I shall get my Sherlock Holmes hat on and investigate.

Re the charities and sponsoring , There is a Benefit life time award holder who lives down the street from me . He moved into a flat around 30 Years ago , Has Never worked a day since he moved in . Permenant sun tan He walks his 2 dogs everyday and Looks after other peoples dogs when they are on Holiday for a cash return. A couple of years ago he was looking for and as far as i heard he got Sponsored to Climb a Mountain in the andes !! He is not fit for work but can climb a Mountain . And before you ask he did not get any sponsorship from me He would know better to ask me . A few guys i work with did a Sponsored Parachute Jump rather them than me and as far as i remember they had to raise £ 500 each on top of it was either £100 or £150 Per person . The only charity i give to is a Dog and Cat Rescue centre i take food stuffs but will not give money

I really hate it when a freeloader finally gets a job and immediately goes off sick.

I'm looking at you, Charlie...

This again?!

I dunno if everyone else has experienced a rise in scam phone calls in the last week or so but I'm now getting about 2 or 3 a day to the landline Mostly the following:

Poor quality tape recording with either "this is bank security..." or "this is HMRC..."

Fake refunds and warranty packages for white goods.

"Hi, I'm the energy supervisor for your postcode. Am I talking to the homeowner?"

You obviously can't argue with a tape recording but I used to have a lot of fun winding up the call centre staff but the current enslavement program from India has atrocious English as a pre-requisite and the non-Indian callers drop the line as soon as the conversation deviates from the script

I find a 'hello' when I answer followed by a 'hello' once it's clear that it's a real person at the other end keeps me occupied for hours. If I get the intonation right the spam slave thinks I'm hearing then just enough to continue the call.

My record is 23 minutes and 6 seconds. Yes, I have a stopwatch by the land line for this specific purpose.

The grim reality of vets' bills for chemotherapy which I can't claim on pet insurance as the damn cat decided to get crook on me three days after I took it out

Why couldn't she have saved her Darth Vader impression for a couple more weeks, the fuckin daft bint #sodsfuckinglaw

I think it was more like "press 1 to speak to a representative..." and supposedly the call was re-routed based on this interaction. Still sounds like an urban myth though.
