What cheeses me off

The braniacs at Coles who think packing two x 3L Milk bottles into one of this little paper bags for home delivery will be fit for purpose, when the delivery driver has not got a fridge and does three homes before you in 30deg heat!
I wonder if the Sunny Coast council will let me keep a cow in the backyard, I am sure they’re busy planning for the incoming 5 ring circus?

Arrived back from Brisbane. Lovely fine and warm day down here on the East coast of Tas. Check the BOM app to see what the forecast is for a couple of days and I see quite warm and sunny going forward.

So I start watering the garden.

Check it again a few hours later and I realise I’ve still got the BOM app set for Brisbane. The local forecast is for rain on and off for the next few days.

Watering stopped.

Mrsdrron and I had our pedicures in Bangkok today. In the chair next to me was an early teen Italian girl with her pre teen sister on the other side. The teen was a real wuss. Would call her mother over and complain it was hurting. First time just having her nails cut. Mummy came rushing over and told the girl to use a smaller clipper. Kept happening. No problem with her younger sister. Mum stayed with the teen giving the staff continuous advice.

Fortunately they were finished before me. Left a 20 baht tip to be shared between the two. So 0.25 euro each. When I had finished I went over to apologise for the abuse they got and what a good job they did. At least it made them smile again .

First time for everything... Cheesed off with amazon.....

Ordered a camera lens on Friday, expensive so it needs to be signed for. They said it would be next day delivery, so I was home much of the day. Hadn't been shipped by 10pm, so I decided to cancel it. Can't do, so sorry it has been shipped. Yeah, right, 5 minutes after I wanted to cancel.
Next day delivery, I'm not going to stay home all day. Of course missed call at 10:20 am. Where were you, I tried to deliver it, nobody home. OK, so I do actually have a life and was doing other things, bloody inconsiderate of me.
Maybe it will be later today, no luck by 8 pm, so decided to complain, I'm very "woke" so I like to do that.

Have you tried to escalate anything through amazon? Obviously they don't want to employ humans, one reason it is cheap and you get what you pay for.

Finally talked to a human after navigating endless pages of cough.

We are sorry, it will be delivered tomorrow. Can you guarantee a time so I make sure I am home, no can't do that.
Will you call me before delivery? no can't do that. If I miss it again, what happens? We will try the next day.

Sigh, lesson learnt, if it is expensive and needs a signature, be prepared to waste a day......

If you do your own washing and you live alone, how the hell can you lose a pillowcase?

I lose a sock every time I do a load of laundry, which inevitably reappears a week or so later...

DejaBrew+1 lost a sock in the wash yesterday. Turned up this morning half-buried in the peg basket

More and more online companies are using delivery services that use drivers on side gigs, that results in after hours delivery, something to be aware of if you use a business address as the delivery one!

Not a big WCMO (more like those extruded sticks of ‘cheese’ we ate in primary school about the size of a digit, encased in plastic, tasted of plastic with those metal tags either end). IYKYK
This is the fourth hotel in two weeks in Italy and Spain - all booked under my name (which is very different to my husband). Every one has called me Mr …. On the welcome notes etc and multiple versions of my first name none of which remotely resemble the name!!
You have the booking - you now have my passport - get it right. As they start calling me my new names I decide I might as well pretend I am in a film

Perhaps you can pretend to not need to pay the bill given that they're obviously of the belief that a different person is staying in the room.
