The ad says it all, don't think I would want to insure with them considering they use block and tackles to fix your front gable ?

Frivolous surveys on near anything you do online. I had one asking about the dentist I saw a month ago - how are you supposed to respond to a survey about treatment when it’s only been a first consultation?

Australia Post love their “clingy” surveys that seem worded to make the results sound good no matter what.

Any survey that asks how an event could have been better, gets told free home-delivered donuts would be a good start.

I try really hard for the survivors ti realise what proper ducks they are.
if in a really F.U. mood i also write it elsewhere in a combination of languages and then add it to their survey

I got a survey last night regarding how I would rate a company's customer support service, a service that I didn't even contact myself and was more of a curtesy letter regarding a product that is taking longer than expected. So, basically, I was being asked how well someone was doing at sending copy and paste emails?

As you will know, I do a LOT of online shopping. I therefore get a lot of requests for a "review". Now, I can understand why a company or potential customer would want to have reviews on say, a pressure washer. But why on earth would anyone want to write, let alone read, a review on a piece of clear plastic tube or a rubber o-ring?

Citroënbender · 09-07-2022, 07:44 PM

True. If I wanted experienced thoughts on power gardening spares like that, I’d ask you.

So, I sort of made up the "clear plastic tube" reference the other day. Low and behold, I get and email today asking for a review on this MTM Foam Cannon Suction Tube.........

I mean, what am I supposed to write about? That it's a wonderful example of a clear plastic tube? Or perhaps that it looks really good in my spare parts drawer? Or maybe that it enables the creation of thick, gooey white liquid? Maybe I shouldn't on that last one........or maybe I should?

Offer an irrelevant and fabricated review. “Hands down, best pizzas in Geraldton.”

People that reckon Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza...

Media hinting the idea of another lockdown.

ford71V8 · 12-07-2022, 10:24 AM

The morning show tells me BREAKING NEWS!!! and its a story about how busy the airport is today.
Which is the same as yesterday
And the day before that.
Its due to the start of school holidays.
Then its due to the end of school holidays.
Live interviews with people standing in line, telling us how they have been waiting.
I think it's been 3 weeks, every morning, BREAKING NEWS! Airports are a busy place!

Somehow sounds like a brag

No, I’m worried I’ve backfed the BEM and ruined it!

Ungrateful, hypocritical and lazy people who expect nothing less than 100%, actually receive 150%, but then get some sort of pleasure in giving negative feedback when only 99.8% is achieved. Then wonder why they get "attitude".

I f..k..g hate people sometimes.............most of the time actually!

I didn't guess the Wordle word today. I had a streak of 93 as of yesterday.

So close and yet so far. Oh well, I'll just have to start over and get the tin this streak.

People who chuck garden debris deeper into the garden so you (a.) Don’t find it when you’re doing the first collation of waste, and (b.) Seem to make the perverse error of stashing it further away from the place where you drag the garden waste out to bins/ute/bags.

Ben73 · 17-07-2022, 10:36 PM

People who casually throw rubbish out their car window when surrounded by traffic. If they do that when people are watching, what are they doing when no one is around?

Today I had some clown in front of me stick his hand out the window and casually drop plastic or paper on a multi lane road while leaving a busy shopping centre before casually stuffing his fat head with McDonalds while driving.

Probably no more room left on the floor of the car

When we moved into our previous house the owners had 2 English Sheep dogs.
After a few days of unpacking etc, I found 27 shopping bags full of dog sheet behind the shed. Dirty lazy farkers.

Grubs. I would have worded up the RSPCA, it’s likely to indicate their standard of animal care generally.

Just when you think someone has understood your clear instruction. Third attempt.

Sent with all quotes for hidden gatepost builds....but I guess it depends on someones interpretation.

Had to laugh, doesn't even fit inside the quoted pier 500x500mm base dimension.

On a good note, this would have to be the best ever 3T load of rough squared granite I have ever found after a blast at the quarry.

My favourite truck... she consumed 710L/HR when needed.

Burnt to the ground from a greenie that didn't know what a hot tire smelt like

You know the old saying Rok.If you want a job done properly do it yourself.So now you are going to have to spend more time fixing the F up than it would have taken to do the whole job from start.

Yeah I know but I will only do stonework. Sometimes on very rare occasions when all the stars align and I feel generous, i'll set the post in.
I'm not a welder or concretor so I like to keep other trades employed and not step on toes.
This was the owners cock up, nothing a larger, more expensive footprint for the pier won't hide.
