Pissed off.

I reserved a bike online yesterday at Halfords. The only one (bike) left for miles around. £450 down to £225. I phoned up to make sure the frame was the correct size and the guy on the phone went and measured it. I asked if I was contracted to buy it (in case it was too small) and he asked the manager who said "no".

So, today (just before I'm going to get in) I get a phone call saying the bike I 'ordered' is no longer in stock. I mean, why have a f**king reserve procedure if you're just going to sell it anyway? F**king twats.

So now I'm without the bike I wanted and as it's the end of the line can't see I'll get one as good for that money. I repeat, f**king twats.

Did you tell them off?

The only thing that, slightly, cheered me up was that some prick drove into a space I was waiting for in the car park, and when I got out and heatedly put across my frustration, moved.

"Do you really want me to move?"

"Yes!"

and relax....

No, it was all muppet kiddies. Not a manager in sight.

Plus, I don't want to get 'walked out' of anywhere else.

How annoyingg.

Do what I've done. Have your mum's hand me down bike she doesn't want anymore. It's bright pink.

Heh, It's just annoying that it was a pretty expensive bike, down into my price range, and that I can't get another.

Oh, and that I RESERVED IT!!!!

Ideally, they should let you have a similar bike for the price you reserved that one at.
The incompetent twats.

Yeah, made of gold...

Not gonna happen unfortunately. All I got was "well, I don't know who you spoke to yesterday, but it's not here now"

Complain to head office, you will get one free!

Ha. Doubtful!
You might at least get a voucher or something though. Worth a try.

Meh, too annoyed atm. And it's probably not worth the phone call and, probably more, anger when they say they can't help.

Pray tell me that you have, at least, an old bike to get you down the corner shop. And no, I'm not talking about zooo!

No. I scrapped it ages ago.

D'oh!

Well I'm off to do some washing up and listen to the radio. Then I might go out on my bike.

>_<

urgh. Is it sleep time yet?
