Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Its only a couple of buckets, nowhere near enough to do the size of potholes round here.

Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Contractors who think they can be rude to their client and then try shouting the client down.
They only try it once. Same contractor quoted £4,000 for a temporary repair when I already knew the permanent repair cost £1,800. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Passport renewals
First application refused - wrong type of black ball point pen used. Second application refused - my name in the back of the photo missed a hyphen (I'm not allowed to add it as it must be in the counter signatures handwriting - wtf? It's only a straight line) The thought crossed my mind that I could forge the application to get it through just because of the missing little hyphen. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
To make it even more annoying, I don't actually need a passport to be where I want to be. I need it to get on the sodding aeroplane to fly there.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
And, yes, the passport will cost twice as much as the bloody ticket on the sodding plane too.
