Things that annoy you (21 Viewers)

[Mcbean]

One of the previous owners of our house was a nonce and thus a registered sex offender. He fled to Ireland from what we can tell but we keep getting all his mail, including UK bank cards, serious debt repayment letters etc. We keep calling them up to stop but 4 years on they haven’t.

My concern is we get a debt collector rock up even though we haven’t anything to do with it.

Just put on no longer at this address and pop it back in the postbox

Doesn't work, believe me. They ignore any correspondence except offers to pay.

Also many of the debt-collecting letters I receive are addressed to the "owner/occupier" as the previous tenant never gave a name the whole time they lived here.

Once it becomes clear they're not going to get any money from me they simply pass the debt to another agency and the whole process begins over again.

Issue a county court claim against them for harassment and distress if they don't stop sending you threatening letters???

The Mother in Law not wanting to bother me about the macerator making a noise now and again, and continuing to use the toilet and shower until such a point that the toilet is backed up, I've spent the day with my arm up the u bend and am covered in shit, had to take the power to the entire house off until I found the fuse to take out to stop it (said macerator had heated the water and also the porcelain of the toilet!), the shower also has a floating scum of shit, and am now told it'll cost nearly £700 to fix...

But hey, she didn't want to bother me(!)

You get the best jobs !

They could argue they are acting within the industry guidelines* and I'd end up paying court costs.

*The guidelines were drawn-up to protect those who do owe money, not those who are falsely accused of owing it.

Could start an entire thread!

Can't find any plates or glasses after she's put them back in the wrong cupboards, and she keeps doing a runner with my glass during the day and putting it in the dishwasher, to the point where we have no clean glasses for me to drink out of until we turn the dishwaser on!

And as for eating what was planned for dinner for lunch, whilst I was out... that's a cardinal sin!

And the stupid Saudi league having their window closing about a month later than England. Transfers should be allowed up to the closing of either window, whichever is earliest!

So it’s going well then?

Smoking in the toilet. Do it outside you cretins.

The annoying thing in this day and age is that even sounding out if she is interested in you (ignore the age gap for a moment) is SO frowned upon in the workplace. If you work in an industry where people are from similar backgrounds, work closely together for long hours and have little opportunity to socialise outside work (other than the dreaded dating/shagging apps), work is the best place to meet your life partner - but you run the risk of getting sacked if you even ask them out. I really do not understand how people are meant to meet nowadays. I'm glad i found my best friend, soulmate and life partner a long time ago, but i feel sorry for those younger folk who haven't yet.

You shouldn't shit where you eat anyway, not worth it if it goes wrong

Do you regularly de-scale it? There's a special solution which you can buy.

Trains, or lack thereof. Went to get train to the game today-no trains on so rail replacement bus. Get on and the driver casually mentions that it won’t stop at Arena station but will go to all the others because ‘the train company said so’. End up paying for Uber from Kenilworth.

Could just once we have a working train going to and from the ground?

Trying to dry washing in this weather, too warm to put the heating on yet raining nearly every day. Tumble dryer packed up as well.

I've just put a load of washing out on the line and it's gone from sunny to pissing down FFS.

We’ve been using a dehumidifier instead. Has worked reasonably well

Biught a Haier washer dryer in May 2021, by August the dryer stopped working. Engineer fixed. Same again a few months later. Engineer said it’s a design fault and they can replace the board but he’s put a temp fix in, few months later same again. Keeps happening. Last happened in April I ask what happens when the warranty runs out? I’m told “it’s an existing fault so no worries” I ask what if it keeps happening? I’m told “then we’ll replace as its a design fault”.

Anyway, dryer just broke again. Called Hauer and got told “nah you’re out of warranty. Sorry if you were told wrong information. £140 pls”

Yeah, the Hoover one I've got was only a year to 18 months old but I can't remember if I registered it for its warranty. A repairman came to look at it and said it was the panel and he could order a new one. Try as I might I can't get the c**t to come back out. I hate using them but it's a necessity I think.

Get googling. Pretty sure that there's some regulation that what you're sold has to be fit for purpose.

I find with this sort of thing they'll just send you back generic emails at first but if you keep pushing eventually you'll get somewhere. Tell them you want the whole thing replaced with a model that doesn't have a known design issue.

Yeah it used to be the Sale of Goods Act, I think it's been replaced with newer legislation but it's fundamentally the same principle

Wrapping presents and trying to get the corner bits to look all sharp and crisp. No fucking chance.

What shape are you wrapping? Get on TikTok there’s weirdos with tutorials for all different shapes gifts. Was a lifesaver at Christmas.

Fuck it, just do the minimum necessary, they're only going to tear it off anyway!

People who still have random songs as their ringtone.

They clearly wear cheap sweaters with wolves on from the market.

People who suck their fingers one by one after eating.

They probably don't ever wash their hands either, ever.

People who have sound coming out their phone full stop. I do have the Nokia ringtone TBF, but only cos I went on a 90s nostalgia trip and put AOL’s “you’ve got Mail” for my outlook tone too. You never hear it though cos my phone lives on silent

I do this whilst eating. The sucking fingers bit, not washing my hands. Hate the feel of greasy fingers (ooh matron).

So do you suck all your fingers at once after eating?
