Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

On the 5th of November I contacted a carpet cleaner for a price to do 3 carpets in the house.

After agreeing a price and telling him my address I asked when he can do it?

No reply came until the 15th and we agreed on today at 3.00

He's either very late or no coming.

19 day wait to get 3 carpets cleaned and the c**t is a no show.

To make things worse I see him constantly advertising on FB.

You should blow him out and hire a Rugdoctor from Tesco.

I’ll be stunned if the c**t turns up now

Wee, minute, tiny biscuits that exclaim on the wrapper, "Only 99 calories".

f**k off. You'd be 500 calories if you were a standard sized biscuit

Buying a multi pack of Mars bars (or any other chocolate bar) and they are half the size of the single bars you can buy. Lucky if you get more than two bites out of them...

He could have just said it was about A4 size though, he wasn't being precise. It's like asking for a 2440mm x 1220mm sheet instead of an 8 by 4.

You obviously don't know what size A4 is.

Family-size bags of crisps (or whatever) which say 'Contains 5 servings'. Piss off, I'll decide how many crisps I want to eat. (Yes, I'm a fat b*****d.)

Do you work in the same place as me? Even worse is when you arrive first thing in the morning and the night shift person who was using your computer has left the remains of their dinner all over the table and crumbs in the keyboard.

Luckily where I work there is no night shift and no 'hot-desking', i.e. we all have our own allocated desks.

Moving the goalposts. Though the building industry is absolutely the worst for overlapping, contradictory, multiple terminology. The amount of different terms for the same thing, depending on where you're from, how old you are and where you trained are mind-boggling.


The railway's pretty bad for that too. On a daily basis you have to swap between distances given in miles, metres, yards, chains, feet or SLUs . Depending on what yard you're in or the age/experience of the shunter you're working with you could be talked back in metres , yards , feet , megas, euros , twins , platforms, wagons ..... Pretty confusing at times !

2 hours late on a Friday I'm gonnae assume he's in the pub by now.

Worst part will be the excuse. Probably message to say his mum/gran/wife died or his machine broke down.

I'm already on the lookout for another carpet cleaner

They any Good?

Very in my experience, cleaned carpets I thought we were going to have to bin. You might still need a bit of elbow grease for really stained bits, but it removes most stuff. Remember to buy the cleaning fluid as well. How much did he quote? It's less than £30 including chemicals, dead easy to use. You order the machine online and pick it up at the supermarket where you buy the chemicals separately. The basic cleaning liquid should do, they try and sell you specialist stuff that I don't think does much. Get a decent size bottle though and consider hiring it for 2 days for another fiver in case you decide to give it another go when it dries out.

He wanted £55 for 3 carpets

You may have saved me a few quid. Good lad

Sorry, this reply is more to your initial post but now we’re fucking the boy off anyway, just reply to his Facebook advert and say “thought you were cleaning mine today at 3 you shiftless b*****d”.

That Stormzy "Blinded by your Grace" song is a pile of shite, but seems to be on all the time.
It's one of those songs people think they are supposed to like because it's by an artist they are supposed to like, but no-one will admit is fucking dreadful.


Does it make me out of touch that I have never heard of Stormzy?
