What cheeses me off

WCMO is when I'm in the office and colleagues start chatting loudly right next to my desk. So I have to put on my noise cancelling headphones.

WCMO even more is when they see me do this and think that it is OK to continue their chat. They don't even move away!

WCMO even, even more is when my headphones don't autopair with my phone. The music then comes out of my phone. Now I'm annoying my neighbours! 😠
 
Long rant here - apologies in advance.
And it continues 🤦‍♀️
Out comes Mr Foul Mouth.
I say : "You must be glad the renovations are nearly done
Me - after a short pause, slowly state : " We have been very accommodating over the past few months......
Geez, am so over this 😑
Tonight, Mr Foul Mouth's car first blocks our driveway for ten minutes. No big deal.

Then his Sixt hire van unloading stuff blocks driveway for well over an hour

He knows we are home - we live here, lights are on. No big deal.

We then get a call from Surfer Flyfrequently, she's been a bit crook and needs another Ventolin puffer, can we scoot to the Chemist for her please?
Sure.
Head next door to ask to move van, Pr*^k doesn't answer my door knock.

Had to walk to her house (no big deal) to take her car, but why should I ?
Rant over

Ring the council and get a parking inspector over?
 
WCMO second party report edition

An airline won't let you use frequent flyer benefits (i.e. status) unless you set that to be the programme you wish to credit the flight to.

I know some airlines are tightening up on this, and some of them it was never worth the trouble trying to put separate FQTV and FQTS...
 
Police

Edit: For emergencies to do with City property or services out of normal business hours, phone 03 5272 5272
A word of advice, start diarising everything as it happens.
Thanks @prozac
That number takes me to City of Geelong ( across the bay) and "office is closed , please call back in business hours"!
Pr^*k built his place (their holiday house) and ours next door (his investment property) 20 years ago.
We bought it from him 13 years ago - it's like he thinks he still owns it!

I took a punt which side you are on. Some councils have an app or online facility for after hours reporting. Where I am now they'll respond and book someone across my driveway within an hour.
