You know what really grinds my gears?

Overuse/misuse of terms like “toxic”.

It’s like there are no mildly crappy relationships these days, every unsuccessful relationship must have been “toxic”.

If your boyfriend thinks you make a big deal out of minor issues and that you’re overly dramatic, they aren’t just insensitive to your feelings, or even a bit of a dick perhaps, they’re gaslighting you.

There’s no need for all the drama, your life isn’t that interesting, you’re not the main character in a romantic Hollywood film, just relax a bit.

Garages and car maintenance. I’m shit hot on this, especially if it’s prevantative.
But what really fucks me off is most of these swines are only open Monday to Friday and are vague as fuck about how long it will take, example in point…

Car needs some maintenance, split coolant pipe, dropped it to the place I normally go, they’ve looked at it and it’s not something they’d take on due to the location of the leak, passed my details to another guy that specialises in this make of car, told he’s expecting my call. Call him, yeah all good bring it in Wednesday, I do it Thursday and you can have it back Thursday afternoon. Dropped it off yesterday, mmmm maybe Friday afternoon, or even Monday or Tuesday… Well which fucking one is it? I’m self employed, live by myself and don’t have the luxury of owning two cars so need it for work.
Why do these people think that being without a car for nearly 7 days isn’t an absolute inconvenience? I live out in the sticks aswell where bus services are 2 hourly and that’s of they even turn up. The job I’m currently at is 45 minutes away, again, out in the sticks so have had to potentially bin that off until Wednesday :person_facepalming:

Ideally they should be giving you a replacement car during this time if they’re going to take the piss like that (they never will, though)

Why would a garage need to give people replacement cars? That doesn’t make any sense as to why something like that should ever be the responsibility of a mechanic lol

Yeah, an insurance company might but there’s no way a garage needs to.

Well, more an insurance company for while the car is in the garage.

In all fairness, I have used independent garages in the past that have had courtesy cars available for customers to use.

Yeah, no doubt about that. But getting your insurance company to cover anything is a mission within itself lol

They’re fucking horrible. The panic I have driving a courtesy car is incomparable. Will it get a scratch? Will someone smack their door onto it in a car park? What about stone chips on an A road, etc

Fuck em, a courtesy car is the fastest car on the road :eyes:

Speaking of insurance mine are bastards too, put my monthly up £20 as I forgot to send off my ncd certificate, charged me £50 for “amending my policy” sent it off and charged me another £50. Twats. Everyone is out just to rip people of nowadays.

That’s why they try to scam you with the extra insurance. Robbing bastards.

Sweet fucking Caroline
What a load of bile . As soon as that gets played , sound off or better still turned off .
That must go down as possibly the worse sporting ‘Anthem’ going .
What exactly has it got to do with sport ?

Life is too short. Enjoy every moment. Take yourself off for a coffee or go to some shops that you want to look at too.

Also what’s wrong with Coldplay lol…I love Coldplay :innocent:

Third place playoff games!

Unprofessional artists.

I went to a concert yesterday at the o2. I paid £121 for my ticket - that is face fucking value. Comfortably the most expensive ticket I’ve ever bought in my life for a concert.

Artist comes out late, then after about 45 mins to an hour the lights at the o2 come on and the concert is done.

How can you charge people the kind of money that he did and then leave like 5/6 of your best songs on the table because you couldn’t time your performance properly.

The VIP tickets were like £300-400, the standing tickets were £90, the level 1 tickets ranged from £121 to £145. He charged people absolutely ballistic money and then when it came time to perform you didn’t even plan your night well enough

Got pretty scathing review in the Guardian…

Rightly so. People paid mad money to be there last night and he gave us like 45 minutes of performance before he cut.

He can talk about crowd safety being his concern all he wants but I was there last night and things were very orderly. There was no trouble whatsoever.

People were pissed when the lights came on.

And there were mic issues at several points too where you couldn’t even hear him perform over the background music.
