Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Boiler service men who turn up and make a big fuss and huff n puff. "I hate these *#*^^^++~< boilers" "Absolutely &£;.*#ing ridiculous"
It's only a standard Worcester Bosch, probably the country's most common boiler, and no one else has a problem with it Not surprised the dog started growling at him. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Leaving work on time because you are tired, but getting the bus with the lovely guys from another department who invite you along for a drink, you say 'no I'm a bit tired, I'll be sensible and head home'. Two hours later you are still stuck on a packed, hot, non-moving train because the one in front broke down and thinking about that nice glass of wine you could be drinking in the pub.

He'd just had an anaesthetic injection in his poorly leg as a trial to see if snipping a nerve would help him. It only lasts 6 hours, so I was supposed to take him for a walk to see if it was any better. I didn't even make it to the park to observe him - although being dragged home at a pace I haven't seen him move at for quite some time I suppose is a good sign!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Got to work and had a man complaining about how he had to complain to get someone to inspect the lift for him. He was a lift inspector.
Wrong job for him too! |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My 19 year old cheap and cheerful hand mixer just died.
Goodbye old friend. Thanks for all the cakes we made together.

Amazing how long they last. I've still got my nan's kenwood mixer, still going strong. Must be 30 years old, maybe older built to last in those days, not to a price.
