What works for our trembling mutt is to put his bed by the tumble dryer and dry the laundry. He seems to find the white noise soothing.Macronate said:10:29pm as I type this, f******* fireworks still going off, scaring the shit out of our dog.
I hate fireworks mainly because they drag on for about three effing weeks.4 -
I recall a cocky young copper back in the late 70s telling me, "We (The Metropolitan Police) no longer consider car damage as a police matter. We issue a crime number and it is for you to sort out with the insurance company".ForeverAddickted said:
Doesnt look like it, as was parked up in a Woodland Car Park, I've submitted a Crime Report with the police to see if that gets me anywhere.Covered End said:

Got back to my car, parked along from Rydal Water around midday today, and find someone had hit my car with a nasty bit of damage, and no note left!!
Car park, Ring door bells etc?
Imagine as well with the area so sparsely populated, that CCTV isnt potentially as common as other areas of the country.
It seems to me the police are now using the same policy for burglary.0 -
Don't think that's quite fair. We had an attempted burglary a little while back. At 8pm when we were out. Our neighbour confronted him so he didn't get in despite having managed to open the front window. Nothing taken but the police were very thorough. Came and took CCTV footage from multiple neighbours, he had dropped a rucksack on our drive when scared off and they kept that as evidence and took a victim impact statement from us. They never found the guy but they certainly investigated. And that was with nothing stolen.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

Which is exactly what they should do for people reporting tweets.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

Police should issue a reference number and everyone get on with their lives but the crime has been reported0 -
Circumstantial, the police will have attended as the neighbour could help identify the burglar in the future and his bag will guve them evidence for future burglaries. If you had come back to find your house had been burgled and called them I promise they woild have just issued a crime number.cantersaddick said:

Unless the burglar had a tragic accident of misadventure where he had slipped, fallen and landed on a set of Japanese kitchen knives stabbing himself several times in the process and dying in the hallway2 -
Phone calls from large organisations (sadly often our public services) where the call is often later than scheduled, not left ringing for long enough to pick the phone up and from a 'private number' so you can't call back the second you've missed it. Then have to wait for it to be rescheduled.2

People who accept a lift from you and then... 1. Initiate a discussion about your chosen route; feel free to impart any latest traffic info, but the driver decides the route - always. 2. Unilaterally opens the window, especially when they are then oblivious to the resulting airflow judder. 3. Talks over the radio, somehow deliberately doing so over the most interesting bits.3

Often it registered at their end as the call being made. So they’ve done their job and the person making the call doesn’t want to have a conversation.Stig said:Phone calls from large organisations (sadly often our public services) where the call is often later than scheduled, not left ringing for long enough to pick the phone up and from a 'private number' so you can't call back the second you've missed it.

Still. It was nice of him to give me a lift10 -
I don't know where to put this but being told I can not be registered on housing registry in my local council due to them not accepting people who just can't afford to live. I don't understand. If it's not for affordability then what is it for?0

When the village charity fireworks volunteers spend weeks assembling and building the huge bonfire structure for the annual charity fundraising fireworks display and some oxygen thieving skin wasting scumbags burn it down at 1 am five nights before the event
Falling into the conflagration would have been too good for them1 -

Evri drivers. In general but in particular this week. Due to collect a parcel from us on 3 different days this week. So I've stayed home to be there. Only the doorbell has never rang. Each time we get sent a photo of the front of our house saying "you weren't in". Today attempt number 4 I manage to catch the guy and give him the parcel. He claims he rang the doorbell but its not working so I ring it in front of him and it works. I also point out its a video doorbell and I have footage of him not actually coming to the door each time.
I dont get it. Like why get so close but not actually finish the job? Does he get paid for it either way?2 -
He must do. Like the amazon drivers get paid for putting the parcel in your doorway whether or not it then gets nicked. They dont even bother knocking the door anymore1

Same happened to me a few times. I have been told they don’t want to collect items because they have to take them back to the depot rather than going straight home.cantersaddick said:Evri drivers.

In our area we used to have an excellent lady who delivered for Evri. She was reliable and everyone sang her praises on local social media. She recently gave up after years of service, because Evri treats its couriers so badly. Since she gave up there are always reports of parcels being delivered to the wrong address.
My husband noticed a parcel outside our front door this morning and when I checked my emails, I found it had been delivered early last evening, but nobody rang the door bell. The parcel had been there all night in the rain and was dripping with water. Fortunately it was wrapped in plastic so was ok, had it been in paper or cardboard it would have been ruined.3 -
Poxy neighbour setting off fireworks in his garden that seem to be aiming directly at my balcony windows in my loft conversion until they then explode just the other side of the roof next to the dormer windows.1

Boots chemist at Guy's - Queue 20 minutes to order you medication and get your ticket. Wait watching the screen for 25 minutes for your number to come in. Back in the queue again, which is now twice as long as it was initially, to get you medication. Is that the best they can do ffs2
