...are lady gardens. And can't organise a piss up in a brewery.
Honestly, how does anyone ever manage to do anything!?
I've never been a fan of people, but this last couple of weeks has been ridiculous.
Firstly scrapping the car shell, not difficult realy:
Phone up scrapyard, organise collection 'ASAP'. They never came. Go over in person to organise collection a week later, watch him write it down and even specify a day this time....never turned up again. Sod it, ask another scrappy, they order it for 10-12am Thursday, awesome, time and date, how can they go wrong.....well 8am I get a call, 'we'll be there in 20 mins' 'erm what?' 'yeah 20 mins, see you soon'. So I shit and shower quickly and head to my Nans where the car is...guess what they didn't turn up either. Eventually at 11.50 hw turned up at the wrong house, albeit the right road. So finally got that shifted!
Then, in sainsburys:
There was a girl shelf stacking with a precarious pile of CDs on a trolley...well basically they all fell off, I offered to help but as most people do she said 'no, its fine'...I couldn't just leave it though with my OCD lol so helped her anyway - she got in a grump and stormed off with her trolley, no thanks or anything!
A few days later in another supermarket:
It was windy, a huge cardboard advertiser with magasines at the front of the shop blew down in front of me, so I did the normal polite thing and picked it up.....the security guard came over shouting at me for knocking it over and to be more careful!?
Then mondays courier issue really topped it off:
Basically I had 3 items for different couriers - had a family emergency and had to go out - so left the parcels in my porch for collection. No-one can see them from the road so I assumed that'd be alright. Anyway I get back and all the parcels had gone - only one collection note though, from Yodel (I do know the yodel courier quite well now). Thought it was odd so checked the tracker - hermes tracker doesn't really work anyway. Citylink tracker said the parcel had been collected - nice of him to leave a collection note then! Thought no more of it till yesterday, the hermes courier delivered a package and apologised a lot about missing my collection package the day before, he said something about it being down as a delivery rather than collection which confused the situation. So - I contact CityLink to ask if their courier accidentally picked up two parcels, seeing as citylink dont have a barcode to scan and didn't leave a note - but apparently 'Raj' on behalf of their courier has checked and the courier says he didn't take the extra parcel - I can't contact the courier himself directly.
So now either the courier picked it up, realised his mistake and kept or chucked the parcel somewhere, or some lady garden has come up to my door and stolen it (albeit in the very short space of time that i was out and that two other couriers came).
What the f*ck is wrong with people!
