...in managing to piss me off.

HSBC   

[aaronjb]

Ooh, is this going to be like the "What have you done to your car today" thread?

If so.. Work. Work has pissed me off today. There has to be a better way to earn a living.. like a lottery win.


Or should we ask what HSBC did?

[05omegav6]

Following on from getting up, today was never going to go well...

Nothing specific, but it feels like it should be Thursday already

Aye, work has been a pain today. Sometimes our offshored application teams don't understand, so resorting to bluntness is the only way. Although there is the inevitable complaint.

Or should we ask what HSBC did?

Rather what they won't do. All companies cock up occasionally, I accept that. Its when they refuse point blank to aid their customers resolve the balls up that HSBC make that gets me on a rant.

Effing 'tards, all of them.

my list  natwest the mong who works in B&Q sidcup and all the people who did there shopping today in the BP garage at mottingham had to wait ages to pay for petrol  so to all them people you are to$$ers

M4 pissed me off this evening. Although the actual west bound carriageway was empty, I could not actually get on the blasted thing. 50mins to get on the m4 from Slobs.

Sorry did I say Slobs? I meant Slough.

[zirk]

Spent most of my day lying on the sofa with serve top back, shoulder and upper arm pain, must of tried in excess of 2000 positions to sit, lye or rest the body where the pain will ease off for about 10 nano seconds, bugger if I know what Ive done to it. 

This ageing Body of mine really isn't fit for purpose any more, the sooner I work out a way to get off and get back to my own Planet the better, me thinks. 

[Gaffers]

I'm very happy.  I had a good commute to work despite getting up at 0430 this weekend I get to stay in france and spend the weekend in the alps training.  Plus, weekend after that it's Easter 

[pscocoa]

When stuff goes wrong with hsbc it gets messy. I had weeks of it 2 years ago but have to say they have not been too bad since.

what was pissing me off though was the tyre supplier to the vw dealer. As soon as i asked to speak to a director as something was definitely wrong with pricing I was suddenly given £140 off the pair of tyres.

The spotty little punani who served me at Mcdongals today... Ordered a black coffee with breakfast only to find that he'd pressed the wrong button and made a white coffee

If he'd been making it I could understand starting to pour the milk and realising just too late, but he only had to press an oppsing button, which probably had a full size colour picture of a cup of coffee on it...

Hurrumph.

[aaronjb]

That's what you get for being a weirdo and not having milk in your coffee, Al 

[05omegav6]

I'm not weird... Merely unusual

[aaronjb]

 

[chrisgixer]

Always found HSBC very good tbh. They've made the odd mistake, but always sorted it out very quickly.

Unless they have let policy slip...?

Can happen to anyone. I paid for a large coffee at the weekend and them promptly pressed the "small coffee" button on the machine. I hate it when that happens.

For the 2nd day running, HSBC are at the top of the "People who have pissed me off today".

Its not hard, if you make a opps-up, you bend over backwards to resolve it, not just stonewall your customers, as, guess what, that pisses them off.

[pscocoa]

Just had call from VW - bodywork done no problem - but tyres in stead of being here today will be here Thursday as they have to come from Dunlop Germany - what deals behind the scene are going on here then?

Anyhow will leave car with them as do not need it with my rusty trusty Omega to support me.

[TheBoy]

The Chiltern Slug was late home again. Doesn't annoy me any more though, as its the norm.

HSBC have finally redeemed themselves, by agreeing with me, and doing what they said was impossible

Which means I can now access OOFs accounts again, so Newent attendees, feel free to send your deposits to OOF

Mother nature

During my daily commute to work she could not decide on whether to rain or not rain, which resulted in lots of stopping and puting rain jacket on/off during my commute in.  It was too warm to ride in the dry wiuth it on. 

Cost me a good 10 minutes on my journey to work

Officially she belongs to the wife, kitty might make it over here in July.  I foresee some spirited drives in the Alps

I'm not sure that there's enough room to get kitty sideways around the Arc de Triomphe*







*Yes I know that's about as relevant to you in Lyon as telling Stemo in Wakefield that Littlehampton beach is closed, but it might be fun to watch

[Gaffers]

sideways around the Etoile?  Done that many times

As easy as chucking a sausage down an alleyway.  Throwing kitty around the narrow twisty alps with new suspension and bushes on all 4 corners, that will be fun

Right upto the point the fuel runs out...

Nope, confirmed OOF has received it

Do I detect a hint of bitchyness, tinged with jealousy, Mr Al?

Not at all, Mr TB, not at all

Merely the voice of experience... first Omega ran dry at 150

Had almost enough momentum to coast a mile to the next slip road

I've twice run out of diesel (both times in works vans) with enough momentum to make it to the petrol station (and after a lot of cranking, got both the tranny and the fifi going).

Other times, I've been less fortunate 

[flyer 0712]

The garden centre  near Flitwick who sold me two garden chairs today and when i got home and sat my bum on one it creaked and nearly collapsed due top the bolts that hold it together were missing...and i never noticed when i inspected them before buying them..

[tigers_gonads]

Took a mates Kia to get a new tyre on the front for her.
The cock windy gunned the McGard locking wheel nut on while I was sat reading porn mags in the waiting room. I promptly got a flat on the way home 

Pulled up and got the locking nut key out only to shag the piggin key trying to get the wheel nut off 

Drove the car with minimum air in the tyre to a local supermarket so she could phone the AA.

AA man not amused as he towed it back to the tyre place.
Tyre man will be even less amused if he tries to bill her husband for his cockup

It's his PMS jammie, best not get in the way

If I envy anything Monsieur G, it's the fact that you live an hour or so from the finest driving in Europe

If I envy anything Monsieur G, it's the fact that you live an hour or so from the finest driving and cycling in Europe

Corrected that for you


And I work here, that's all. I still live back in the UK.  I was offered the job here permanently but I wont make my millions by being an employee for the rest of my life.

Today, Amazon have managed to be the ones to piss me off, useless frakkin tards with no grasp of the English language (or laws, for that matter).

I have had issues with Amazon before. Took a lot of ANGRY TYPING to resolve. I can't remember what it was exactly, something about them wanting to refund instead of resend something that hadn't arrived.

I'm still waiting for either a) Somebody who speaks English to call, or b) the (claimed) manager of one of the offshored call centres to call me.

I won't hold my breath

...in managing to piss me off.

Drivers of stupid little boxes and baby 4x4's that don't actually realise that they are not towing a plough and their vehicle WILL do over 40mph. 
Also, on my trip to Cornwall down the motorways, the amount of drivers in lane 2 that match the speed of the driver in lane 1. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

BOGOF offers!   

I hate it when you pop into a shop or the services for a snack and they have a buy one get one free offer.  So I end up spending more than I anticipated and have twice as much as I wanted.    Sigh...
