    So many things are broken; customer service, manners and civility, law and order, speling.

    I was trying to track down a parcel that was delivered ... but not to me.

    Long story short, I ended up typing a conversation with the delivery company.  Half way through the conversation I received a reply that said, 'have you taken delivery of the parcel?' This prompted me to enquire, 'Are you a chatbot or human?'   ....... 'Human.' came the reply.

    The 'human' then wrote that I would be contacted by phone within 24 hours.

    ... I wasn't.  The parcel eventually turned up - delivered by the neighbour who took it in.

    Making no apologies for banging on about it.

    It’s Halloween, fine, let the kids go out and ponce sweets off unsuspecting adults.

    So why the f*** are fireworks going off? Are people so thick in this country now that they can’t differentiate between two entirely different commercialised wastes of time?

    Part of the above is tongue in cheek but there are massive c**** out there.

    At sporting events where the medal winners or in tonight’s case boxers entering the ring and the flag is clearly straight out of the packet with all the fold creases still in, use an iron or a steamer ffs!

    Another vote for customer service - I've messaged the Queens Head in Chislehurst twice to ask if they will be showing the Cray Wanderers v Stockport game, not even an acknowledgment.

    A few years ago some of these customer service centres were often in India and other places and were so difficult to get to a person in the UK to explain your issue rather than just be read a script by someone who struggles with English. I miss those days when it comes to some of these companies cos now it would be nice just to talk to any human rather than a robot.

    Maybe I’m just turning into a grumpy old man but people annoy, so many are inconsiderate arseholes. At the o2 last night a couple sitting next to us turned up late, gagged around with their seats then started to talk loudly throughout the gig. Left it a while before asking them to shut up and the woman started arguing saying it’s a concert. I said to her I know and I’m trying listen to the fucking music. Thankfully they kept quiet after that. The queue for the tube afterwards was huge so we jumped on a bus home. Wankers playing music on their phones, 4 different people refusing to pay when they got on (the bus driver gave up in the end), plus others just shouting and arguing.

    Not enough people get a slap for their behaviour nowadays and society has suffered.

    When they're making loud bangs out the back they can't hear their windows being put in round the front. Just saying.

    But we only have one & I’m kind enough to know that sometimes I have to suck it up.
    But not on a Sunday night when there’s feck all else I can be doing.
    It annoyed me, so I shared. Kind of the point ain’t it?

    Shrinkflation. I'm fed up with getting ripped off.  Or perhaps more accurately, I'm not fed up because I'm getting ripped off.

    Loud people, like unnecessarily and performative loud. Loud breathing, like "aaaahhhhh" when the rest of the world manages to oxygebate themselves without the theatre. The mumbling and grunting. These fuckers always want eye contact in waiting rooms and a chat.

    The endless stream of marketing shite you get after making a purchase these days. Always opt out when I see the opportunity, but recently theyve been coming through thick and fast, not just email but text and even WhatsApp ffs. 

    Muckboots - Bought a pair for Mrs, was inundated with texts and emails asking if I was happy or if I'm ready to make my next purchase.

    Mindful Chef - Emails and texts, and what looks like a hand written note from one of their "chefs" just dropped through the letterbox. 

    BT (EE) - Must be 3 or 4 texts or emails every time a bill is ready, and that only for our private contract. We get he same for business contract

    DPD - WhatsApping me ffs

    Fuck off ffs
