EBay twats. 1 - A best offer that is 30% below the asking price is not an offer, it's an insult. Why would I sell it for less than 'we buy any car' will offer AND have to go through the hassle of selling it myself? 2- 'cash only' does not mean I will deliver it 80 miles to your sister and accept a cheque when I get there, even if you message me the same offer 4 times. 3 - why doesn't anyone come and view a car or at least send a polite message before making an offer? Twats...

People that don't listen.

I have my parents German Shepherd at work and he is addicted to chasing a ball (or anything you can throw for him) so much so that he would make himself ill before he stops chasing. Yesterday I noticed one of his nails had worn short enough to bleed from running on concrete so I made sure he only ran on grass. Mentioned this many times to the lads which wanted to play throughout the day.

Popped out today and came back to find they had fully exhausted him to the state that he couldn't lower himself to the ground under control and worn through 2 of his front pads and a few of his nails.

 

Ffs, completely fcuked him. Fitted him with set of socks, plenty of water and rest (although he is like my shadow so tries to follow me round the workshop). Just gone to let him out and he's limping like a 1 legged dog and slid down 3 stairs before I caught him and carried him down the rest.

His pads don't look bad, it's only a 5p size patch but it's not what he needs

People are retards ffs.

Time to fit his legs with some castor wheels, and then take a pic and post it ! Poor doggy.

That's what one of my German Shepherds ended up with, wheel replacements for non-functioning back legs. Was a strong dog otherwise and it added 2 years of quality life, she'd trundle through the woods just fine and was possibly faster when chasing cats, cornering wasn't quite as fast.

He's been extremely quiet today, fine going upstairs but struggles down.

Helped me find out why a con rod exited out the side of the block earlier though.

People who walk on busy streets with their head in their phones expecting that you will see them and move aside for them Well I don't anymore, the guy that bumped of me tossing his phone to the floor was a little upset but hey ho, look where you're going not at your phone (or next time walk down the road so a car can toss you into the air)

Been on Rightmove looking at 100's of houses for sale and its people that have signs saying "Sleep" in the bedroom, "Relax" in the living room and "Bathe" in the bathroom. Strange, you never see ones saying "Shag", "Slob Out" or "Dump"!!

companies who have great web sites but otherwise are just crap.

 

for example:

 

purchase a product  (they get your money)

 

a week later

 

your product will be with you in seven days

 

two more weeks later

 

your product has been despatched and you will have the tracking details tomorrow (no tracking info sent)

 

another three weeks later

 

your product will be sent tomorrow (still no tracking details)

Incompetent people that have jobs. I seriously feel we need to lower the minimum wage as there are many people being paid too much for their skill, or lack of. Over the last few months, Ordered some washers of a specific size, tried 3 different companies and even though their sites state the size they turn up a few mm different. Ordered a front door and window for my house, despite me repeatedly saying my measurements were brick to brick (so 10 mm needs removing for manufacture) they made them exactly to the measurements I gave them. Ordered some lockable aerocatches, so I could actually secure my boot and bonnet. None lockable turn up. Ordered a front door for the Mrs house. This one's cut ok but get the old one out and the new one in and the insert panel for the door has been cut 100 mm too short so there's a nice gap into the house. Just what you need to find at 7pm on a Friday night.

Foot pumps. They're all a bag 'o shite. I've had 5 in as many years and they've all failed due to poor design/manufacturing despite only light use. There must be a gap in the market for a decent one with a properly ridgid frame, maybe a bearing or two, all metal air fittings and a correctly swaged long hose?

The gap is filled with pumps like these. Easier to use, less moving/hinges/pivots/parts to break. Far better

Thanks for the link- I had thought about one of them. They're lower capacity than a double barrel foot pump, but I guess it would be more use than the broken one I just threw up a tree! :-D
