Hello. Already having my day spoiled by the terminally stupid.
 
MORNING LOVES!

I've just spent £1300 on clothes. Most of which I'll send back, granted, but I QUITE baulked when I got to checkout :D
 
I've just had to explain how coffee works to a colleague who has literally no idea. I guess I didn't until I (recently) started drinking it.

This is also the person who looked at me astonished when I asked him to turn the record over on the office record player, though :D

When I was in London a few weeks back someone from reception came to serve us a the hotel bar.

He didnt know what a wine glass was, or how to pour a pint.

He then went on to tell me how hed never consumed caffeine, alcohol, tobacco or sugar.

Shouldn't be allowed to work in the trade then
 
My friends own a bar/ restaurant and they've just decided to swap red wine and white wine glasses around and so you get white in a big glass and red in a smaller one.

They think it makes them QUIRKY.

It's ACTUALLY FUCKING WRONG.
 
Back in the UK, on a train to Portsmouth and some girl with a baby is having a complete meltdown on the phone, screaming that she's having a breakdown. And swearing at anyone that goes near her 😬

GIRLY STUFF

FOR THE DAMSEL

BITS OF GLAMOUR FOR

MADEMOISLLE
 
Nearly 2 hours on the phone to British Gas trying to once again obtain a refund on my mum's account after the house was sold months ago.

I'm about ready to COMMIT MURDER :disco:
 
Got Lickle Red back from the insurance repair garage. All that needed repairing was the light cluster on the back passenger side and some minor bumper scrapes underneath the cluster.

They've washed it, hoovered it, tightened my clutch, put air in all four tyres (they were all low but only slightly, the warning lights go off again when I drive for a bit and the tyres warm up) and replaced the bulb in the reversing light (other side to the damage) which broke the day before I bumped it. Drove back to work on the motorway after I picked it up just so I could use 6th gear. So it's at my usual garage tomorrow for the MOT and I don't have to spend an hour tonight making it look clean(er) because the other garage has cleaned it.

Hey I worked for them. They're great. It's some customers who are idiots.

Was great when they rang at 4.30 saying they'd no gas and couldn't cook kids tea. Had been cut off as they hadn't paid. "but we weren't in. How could you get in?" Erm, a court warrant, locksmith, our guy and a police officer. Went out on a couple to observe. Met the cops there. They gave us two for a day a week to enforce court warrants. Couldn't cut off if they had ay kids under 5 though. They could pay then.

Well should have paid their bill or rang us to arrange to pay in instalments rather than just ignore it. As I said, no-one with kids under 5 was disconnected.

In this instance, they've owed a refund of nearly £500 to me for 3 months, which continually hadn't been raised, then got sent to the wrong address, now still hasn't arrived after another 2 week wait & today I had to patiently explain to someone that it was the company that owed ME the money, not the other way round. And why are they still sending out cheques in this day & age anyway. I doubt a customer owing nearly £500 would be tolerated with constant excuses.

The reason they owe so much back is 1) because my mum kept the account super up to date & 2) I paid them an amount on an estimated bill as I was in the middle of a bereavement & having to organise the funeral single handed. So I refute that this is an instance of the company being great & the customer being idiotic.
