I then twig that I've picked return instead of one way. I fix it and the price jumps up by £50. Arseholes. Have you got a vpn? They're crafty fuckers and know you're interested so will hike prices the more times you log on from same ip address particularly if you've looked at it a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 People generally. But in particular work colleagues/ friends / family / associates that don't reply to messages that are clearly setup for a reply or feedback of sorts. As time passes, I do realise I'm the common denominator! Also, those paper instructions that the manufacturers have to stuff into boxes containing medication. Does anyone actually read them?! Apologies if these have already been mentioned. Rant over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if these have already been mentioned. Rant over. I have a different issue with a handful of family members and one friend who do something in texts / e-mails / Facebook Messenger that does my nut in. They do it all the time… does anyone else encounter this, here’s an example… Say you are trying to arrange a meet-up, and you text them saying something like ‘weather looks rubbish, so want to meet at Braehead or Silverburn maybe, whichever you fancy, grab a coffee?’. They reply ‘sounds great, see you there’. You think ‘answer the fcuking simple question first cunto… Braehead or Silverburn, then we can move on to a time’. Just me? I sometimes think about replying ‘aye, see you there’, and wait to see if they text back saying ‘see you where?’. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why is it I always open the box at the end which is blocked by the folded paper? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think you're being polite in giving the options, done it so many times and often people don't want to be the one making the decisions. Try not giving them an option. Just say weather looks rubbish how about Silverburn? Hope that works, good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed the reply to that is ‘Was there last week, fancy somewhere else?’. Edit - I am related to some people who seemingly can read OK, but cannot reply to the actual question being asked.

I think you're in part responsible for the 'vagueness' - it doesn't read like you're asking them which place they prefer just inviting them for a coffee. Granted, if it were me I'd answer as you'd expect but some folk are not so detail-oriented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is both a PTTGOYN and a calling card of a moron IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
