Had a wisdom tooth out on Monday, pain is all gone and swelling virtually gone, but I still can't open my jaw enough to eat anything. At first I was able to gently feed thin slices of toast in there now that's too much. Smoothies only 

Food, of all kinds, has never looked so appealing. I just read a crap joke in the joke thread about a beef stir-fry and it brought me here

Almost 45 minutes explaining to someone that there is little point refreshing data for 100k customers twice inside a month

The vast majority of data will not change.

"Yeah but we need to send the mailings"

Send them, the data isn't going to change.

Working tomorrow, first shift on the trucks since mid May, so was hoping for a 6am start and a shortish day, 10 or 11 hours. Rings in for my start time, 7am and going to Livingstone, Hopefully I'll get home before 9pm.

People who spell 'thought' 'thort' how the fuck can some people in their 50's even with a smart phone and predictive text spell so badly.

Spelling in general is atrocious from what I see on social media. Adults getting confused with your and you're for example. Maybe that's the English teacher in me.

Can I just say I have every sympathy for anyone who has to bank with Barclays. 

Ok go on then

I had all four wisdom teeth out and was told that all I'd be able to eat was ice cream and custard. And they were right.

I was signed off for the week and a mate and his girlfriend came round to see if I was alright - not really, more like seeing if I was malingering - but they were shocked by my bruised and swollen face and went back to work saying I looked like a dark blue hamster.

Asda. Quite possibly the worst company in the world at the moment.

Had a few of the lads over last Saturday for beers in the garden and a bit of horse racing on the telly. Friday afternoon booked a home delivery for a load of ale and some crisps. Saturday morning comes, the driver knocks on my door with a bag of crisps! Told me the rest of the stuff was out of stock.
Phoned the store and some cheeky bastard says, "mate, we get over 600 home deliveries per weekend, do you expect us to contact everyone when something is out of stock?". I went all ghetto and high pitched on him and screeched down the phone, "who are you talkin to yer little maggot!!!" to which he put the phone down.

By now I'm starting to sweat, its 8am on Saturday and at 12pm I've got 8 lads coming to ours. Spoke to their customer service which is based overseas and was told at the time they picked my order there was no stock, they would refund my money the same day.
Ended up getting a cab up to the store to find the shelves stacked with ale galore so had to spend more money replacing what they failed to deliver.

By Tuesday they hadn't refunded my money, so despite phone calls and emails they kept trying to blame the bank, it eventually goes in on Thursday night. At this stage I got hold of the CEO's email and sent him a strongly worded letter of complaint.
Gets a reply yesterday, "yeah sorry about that, valued customer, blah, blah, blah, heres some e-vouchers, 2x £10 1x£5 ones". Just gone online, booked a slot, got a load of shopping and went to use my voucher, can only use one per transaction!

Phoned them again, was told "oh yeah, its a known glitch, keep trying or maybe try tomorrow". Absolute farce of a set up.

Cheers And it actually dawned on me after I typed this, that I've turned into a right moaning old bastard hahah!

[CraigDS]

ASDA are twats and their pickers are often lazy c*nts who can't be arsed picking the heavy booze items to just say it's out of stock.

My shoulders are genuinely shaking from laughing reading this.

I wish I could spend the day watching football, smoking cannabis and eating pizza. A: I’m at the in-laws with my daughters. Great people but none of them are into football. B: cannabis is illegal where I live. C: we’re definitely not having pizza for dinner.

There's every chance that an online shopping order gets ruined by a lazy fucker doing the picking, but there is a chance that the shelf was empty when the picking was done, especially in the summer. At my store there's a three hour window between the start of picking, and all of the delivery being out on the shelves. Big problem with the online shopping is that when you're picking you're put under a lot of pressure with your picks per hour, and get a lot of shit if you substitute an item for something that ends up being sent back anyway, so you're reticent to replace cans with bottles, or pick a different brand.

I only do it when I'm free or when their department is short-staffed so don't have to worry about my timings so much, but the system basically pushes them into having to value output above standards unfortunately. Even to the point that they don't have time to go and look for one bulk order unless it's sitting right next to where it goes on the shelf.

No excuse for shite customer service and a broken website.

Stuff like beer gets hammered this time of the year too. If we take stock to the Tesco RDC in Goole, we have to do a store delivery on the way back home. Picked this trailer up for the Hindley store, summer, lovely weather and Euros going on. I thought the trailer felt a bit heavy, when I got there it was mainly beer. Store staff said they were getting hammered for beer, it was flying out as soon as it hit the shelves.

Knobhead neighbours having garden pissups cos of the football. All sound thick as mince and probably flagshagging Brexit c*nts.

Hope England get knocked out quickly.

Fucking hate this country.

Sunburn. Went to the play off game today between Stockport County and Hartlepool, it was dull when I left the house so didn't even think of putting sun cream on, as soon as I got in the ground the sun comes out and we are in a stand with no roof so now I'm like a lobster.

[reddebs]

People, especially rich people, who think they know how you should live your life and what you should spend your money on.

That includes some members of my own family.

Fuck off ya snobby twats!

"You could get a fucking bus through there"

Normally you could - unless the other vehicle insisted on leaving a 4 foot gap between them and the stationery vehicle they're passing.

I know it's the ideal when passing a parked car to leave an open car door's width, but when there's limited space and another vehicle's coming in the opposite direction, that has to go out the fucking window,

It's not even that difficult, all you have to do is look at each car, is there anyone sat on that side of the car? No? Then its safe.

Scrolling twitter and seen one of those stupid money saving hacks.

Something like "Savvy mum shows how to save a guaranteed £5000 in six months with envelope trick."

The savvy mum's envelope trick was put £200 in an envelope every week for six months.

Or those articles about people in their early / mid-twenties and how they managed to buy their first home all by themselves (with a hefty deposit from mum and dad, buried somewhere in the fourth paragraph).

Jesus Christ, if either of our parents could afford to give us a deposit then we wouldn’t be paying more in rent for a two bedroom flat than we would on a three bedroom semi, would we?

[AndyMuller]

I watched a video doing the rounds of this American woman explaining how she pays £0 for a range rover and a ferrari or something. The way she done it was spend $800,000 on a building and then charges rent for each apartment which covered the car payments each month. What a load of shite.

People completely and utterly unaware of their surroundings.

A mother stops dead in front of me yesterday, while she and her offspring take up the entire pavement on a busy road.

A cyclist on the fucking pavement weaving all over the place while I was on a run.

Mate, this isn't the Monaco GP, you don't need to warm your tyres up.

Either learn to ride in a straight line or fuck the bike off and walk.
