Dont get me started on Animal Insurance.
Had the yearly vaccines for my two cats over the Weekend just gone, just beforehand we got a letter from their Insurance which confirmed our request to cancel the Direct Debit with them etc.
With both me and the missus confused as we did nothing of the sort we went to the Vets who restarted the Insurance for us yet also confirmed that the Company had sent a letter to all Members the other week, that letter being so poorly written, they told you to do the wrong thing if you wanted to cancel0 -
With Dogs booster jabs 99% certainly having no effect to the protection of your animal its certainly no surprising that only two establishments are still insisting it is carried out one being the Veterinary profession the other being Insurance companies.ForeverAddickted said:Dont get me started on Animal Insurance.

Recruiting businesses. I've worked with them from both sides as a permanent employee, and now as a contractor.
Smarmy agent contacted me about a role for 3 weeks last week, sounded OK. Only issue was that the pay was £25 less than my day rate. I bit the bullet and went for it anyway.
Aced the interview and was offered the role... But would need to take a further £15 cut, so the agent could take his 17.5% without going over the client budget. I told him I wasnt impressed, as £40 a day less means £600 over those 3 weeks. But if this client looked for a long term relationship that was worth it.. Bit the bullet again.
Today I found out - after pestering him for paperwork as he had said it was approved on Friday - that they'd found a cheaper agency to provide the work. I lost the contract. He had the cheek to say I was worth the full day rate and for "£40 a day discount" they were mad to go elsewhere, that they want to keep my details in case "it doesn't go as expected".
Gutted. Messed up a lot of my plans to be fair, and can't help but feel like this guy's greediness has cost me when I was prepared to go against my gut and lower my worth.0 -

The smarmy git left me an awkward sounding voicemail 20 minutes ago: "Ermm.. can you give me a ring, as soon as possible. I need to talk to you, and it's quite urgent.". So I scratched my balls for a bit, sipped my coffee and figured I should hear him out.
Turns out the cheaper chap turned up to begin work on the contract yesterday - something has spooked him, and he's gone.. vanished. vamoose. Alarm bells are ringing in my head, as I don't know what's going on there in that case.
Anywayyyyy, so he's rang me up and asked if I'm available to potentially see them today and get them out of that mess. I'm now getting the impression that he was directly responsible for opting for the other contractor, presumably the other contractor undercut me by a bit more - to maximise the agent's commission.
Being the nice guy I am, I told him I'm free - but considering the circumstances, I may need to renegotiate my fees now..

You absolutely should renegotiate Lucky.

People that insist on telling you how far they have come for an event like the fans who went to the abandoned Man U game and say they travelled 4198 miles from Chicago to be there. No, really? I thought it was a hop, skip and a jump over the water.1

Going to try dry cleaners, presenting your ticket and then they continually ponce about looking for your dry cleaning and asking stupid questions...."are you sure you brought the clothing in" "and this is your ticket?" Etc etc, in the end you point out your clothing on the rack.2

This cigar hanging out the brick wall picture that's going round on social media. It's literally the first thing you see.3

I had to seek this out. Genuinely cannot believe anyone cannot see the cigar. If you could not see a cigar with half a second and you own a driver's licence, please can you cut up your licence and and sell your car since you are clearly not fit to drive.ValleyGary said:This cigar hanging out the brick wall picture that's going round on social media.

The brown cigar isn't even the same thickness as the gaps between bricks. I honestly had to check that there wasn't something else cos even my three year old daughter could see it.Fiiish said:
