Why does the box it comes in and the serrated edge always collapse and become useless?
Why does it tear unevenly or become entangled around the roll it comes on and become impossible to tear off without it splitting down the F ing middle.
Why does it never stop clinging, especially to things it’s not meant to be clinging tooooooooo,FFS?!!!!!
Did you know about the highly secretive little cardboard tabs on each side of the box?
Press those in and the roll becomes stabilised and they become the axis for the roll to revolve on. It's the same for foil btw. Not saying its the end to all your problems SN, but it might help.
I knew I would learn something from CL to enrich my life one day. I owe you a lot of thanks, @”Raith_C_Chattonell”.
Was supposed to be having a new Bathroom fitted this week which has turned into a complete nightmare... In total the bloke doing it (a recommendation, not from on here who wont be recommended to anyone else) did a few hours work to remove the Bath and three quarters of the tiles on Tuesday and then did about an hour and a halfs work yesterday to clean up the mess he'd made on Tuesday
Still waiting for him to collect the tiles we've chosen this morning and have had what feels excuse after excuse come up about him having to dash off for one reason or another - Now it could be me being really suspicious and they're genuine reasons for him having to be away but apparently he's got until Tuesday to complete the job as has another one starting on Wednesday yet have absolutely zero faith in this happening
Tell him if he doesn't finish on Tuesday, you'll get someone else to finish it and he whistle for his money.
Its certainly going to get to that point soon
Expected him working by now (Understand he had to get the tiles) but called him and he's still at home because he's been having to run his Mother in Law around this morning
Have reminded him that my Wife takes our Son for swimming lessons at 12 so if he aint round by then, its going to be another day of just a mess - Is frustrating as been telling him all week that we need the bath installed by today so my boy can have a bath tonight and get the chlorine off him!!
The problem is they take on so much work and spread themselves too thin. Wouldn't believe a word about the mother in law, sounds like a typical builder excuse.
Could your son have a shower at the pool?
Tried to give him a shower there before now yet he hated it and screamed his head off - Certainly think I'll be forced to take your advice with the threat
Cheers too @Carter for thinking what I've already suspected
He's said he's getting his nephew round to help tomorrow so hopefully happens and the two of them get a load done, not very confident though
What happened in the end @ForeverAddickted ? Did he finish the job or did you get someone else in?
Quite humorous in the end - Finished the job on time yet put in two huge shifts on the last two days to ensure it happened
Talking to him on the last day he asked when he could receive Payment because my bathroom was helping to pay for materials for the next job etc.
Of course had he put that effort in from the bloody start without pissing around for the first five days then there wouldnt have been the rush at the end and he'd have had his money within plenty of time
Vehicle registration saga has come to a climax this morning (after 8 months dealing with 3 different French government departments) with an estimate of between €1200 to €2800 to get a €250, 1.3 petrol Suzuki "run about" legally registered here. The reason given for the extortionate fee is that the vehicle may not conform to French and/or EU regs, even though it was built in Spain, is registered in Holland and has been MOT'd and driven in Holland up until recent years. Cant see why the car can't just be put through a French MOT, if European MOT's are standardized by the EU, and left to pass or fail?

There fixed it for you.
Yeah, tried that, f ing b'stards always f up too!!!!!!
Fecking Bad manners............. My wife and I walking two dogs each step into the road to let two older women walk by on a very narrow footpath, neither of them so much as looked in our direction.

In situations like this one, I find that a sarcastic, you`re welcome at the top of my voice might get the message across.
Lack of kitchen etiquette in the workplace. If I'm making a cup of tea, wait till I've finished before making yours cos all you're doing is making me move around you to get to the fridge etc. Its shared offices, so luckily i don't have to actually work with these people.

Or when you've just boiled the kettle and someone comes marching in and fills their cup first without so much as looking/checking with you first.

This bitch in my office nicks my water, I have a routine where I put kettle on and have a slash / dump while it's boiling, this cow fills up her flask and fux off without even refilling the kettle

Years ago, food used to go missing from our office overnight. We suspected the cleaners but it could have been security. In the end we used to have to lock it all away but not before I contaminated several items. At the time, I was still using traditional syringes for my insulin and I injected piss into several items and left them out, all of which were taken.

Have the dump in the kettle... that'll stop her!!
Fella I used to work for told me a story about a site he was on where the builders kept trying to force the sparks labourer to make their tea being quite bullying towards him. Last day the sparks were on the job he went into the mess room, pulled down his trousers and shit in the tea urn.
Honestly, that bloke has got such a punchable face. His inappropriate hugs, talking about ‘oh its a rider!’, ‘oh you’ll need some lateral movement there’, he squeals like a pig when the jackpot counter is within 6 inches of the tipping point, he can shove ‘I’ll have dropzone 4 please Ben... light it up please’ right where the sun doesnt shine, West Ham pillock.
The ITV producer who devised the programme deserves the slowest, painful death! lol
It must have annoyed me as still thinking about it now. Grand Designs happened to be on when we got in last night, not the usual programme I watch. The design idea looked amazing, a lighthouse inspired huge house build on the coast (cornwall i think), literally falling into the sea, to replace what was considered a 'bog standard' house (a huge 4 bed house with amazing views albeit not in keeping with the cliff edge). After 5 mins of the programme I was hooked as I wanted to see the final results. Even though the couple doing it were absolute arrogant bellends. Did anyone else see it? half way through Dec said 'i don't want to watch anymore as it'll be a happy ending and he'll get his f**k off massive house on the coast to the detriment of everyone else' then we endured 45 minutes of rising hatred for the nob who begged anyone and everyone to finance 'his dream'. The children were so excited at the start of the project 7 years ago when they sat on their bunk beds as 10 year olds looking forward to embracing their parents dream, The last 5 mins of the programme - his children were grown up and probably at uni and the marriage had broken down and the house (and 2nd house he built for 1m to try to sell for 2 mill to finance the lighthouse) had been boarded up for 7 months unfinished and unable to sell. Well, we high fived across the sofa. Are we mean? did anyone else see? it just felt so greedy & selfish. so out of touch.

Surely one for the general things that please you thread: self important nobs getting taken down a peg or two.
On the subject of Grand Designs, I have seen many in the past. I don't remember this one though. It's often about selfish undesirables, but some of them are really decent folk.

true, but i'm still angry at his smug mug thinking he could just borrow a couple of mill from here, and there, to deface a cliff essentially.

Embarrassing and intensely annoying.
