I'm guessing that you got it as a Christmas present for a child and it's been randomly chewing valuable stuff, rather than you placidly watching it eating your cocaine stash hidden in a box of chocolates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it that's what he's paid the vet, not to put it down, to treat it. Although, it's already had it's treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Surely that can't be true?[emoji38]By the laws of probability (I think), at least some flights will have all paying passengers show up for the flight, and there's no chance the average punter would be told "sorry, we overbooked deliberately because we think some people won't show. It's okay though, we've got your flight to Tenerife for tomorrow evening, I'm sure you'll understand."...and just accept that. I think it's only common practice on scheduled flights, not on chartered so it's unlikely to happen on holiday flights to Tenerife etc.I'd estimate that on about 50% of US airline flights I've taken they've looked for volunteers to give up their seat - and you're risking being killed in the stampede to accept. Only seen it a few times on other airlines, probably less than 10%, so I'd guess the American airlines predict a higher no show rate than others.The compo is often very generous - and I've seen some airlines increasing what's on offer as it gets nearer and nearer take off time. So some seasoned travellers will take a chance and hang on until the last moment to grab the deal. I've seen offers of up to double the ticket cost plus a later flight. Never done it myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I was on a flight to turkey that was underbooked in 2009 from Glasgow. They cancelled it and shuttled us down to Manchester to fly at a later time on another flight. Lost out on a days holiday and only got £50 in compensation and a £20 voucher for the airport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Doing my job, following guidlines, turning up on time, not phoning in sick for the umpteenth time cause I fancy a night out and having colleagues who are confused by the complexities of a packet of crisps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair are particularly bad for it. Ryanairs brilliant policy of planes don't make money sat on tarmac at work.

dee_62 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 When folk don't load the cutlery in the dishwasher properly. We've not long joined the 20th century and got one fitted but the rest of the family just haven't sussed the etiquette yet. Handles up surely and knives together, spoons together etc. Takes seconds to grab a handful from each section and stick them in the drawer that way. Nothing worse than grabbing for them, stabbing your fingers and then having to take them out individually to move to the drawer because they've all been mixed up. Adds an unreasonable length of time to an already boring chore. And don't get me started on folk not scraping their plates before they dump them in the machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dishwasher will be the reason the wife and I get a divorce, unbelievable levels of laziness when she "loads" it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 He parks across two bays in a car park to avoid the possibility of his getting scratched and sees nothing wrong with what he is doing Perfectly reasonable provided there's plenty of other parking spaces. The car the guy owns isn't particularly cheap, and I don't see why he shouldn't avoid it being damaged by the kind of morons that park up in supermarkets and let their kids throw the doors open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My now ex-wife used to give me hard time for putting breakfast plates, with the remains of fried egg yoke stuck on them, in the dishwasher without rinsing them first. If you're going to do that why bother putting them in? In fact why not just rinse everything and not bother with a f'king dishwasher? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
