Things that piss you off Page 1,075

@Joyce.
I have always wondered how people get away with online fraud - ie buying things with someone else's card. Especially in this case where it's furniture.
Unless they 'pay and collect' the items have to be delivered to an address. Surely that gives the game away.
Unless the delivery address is The High Street - dodgy bloke on the corner.

A friend of mine had his card hacked online and they played poker with it. Ironically, they won over £3000. He was not allowed to take the winnings though.

Oh...well my card has been stopped and anything that needs paying will incur a charge etcetc. Very pissed off.

Hey...regarding shopping...have you not tried shouting, "Oh sorry! I had no idea it was YOUR turn to come out shopping today! Maybe I'll take my turn tomorrow!".

I'm not a misery guts, honest!

When my card got ripped off someone spent £200 on toms.co.uk, I was gutted that my money had been used to buy bloody espadrilles. The bank sorted it really quickly though, hope yours does too Joyce.

Aw, that's unfair!

I've just noticed that my Facebook will switch to 'Time Line' on 22nd August, whether I want it or not.

I'm all for progress and change, but Time Line looks like a confusing mess. Should I be pissed off with this new feature or is it easy to get your head round?

It's a complete shambles.
The only highlight is when you look at your timeline and it says" 1959: Born, 2010: Joined Facebook"
Like that's your life.
Once you've finished chuckling at that it's downhill all the way, I'm afraid.

That's disturbing to hear. I only really use FB to find out what social events are going on and to save literally £££s on birthday cards, so hopefully the transition to the new format will stop me visiting it as much.

Meh, like any change to Facebook, you get used to it. The only change that I still genuinely loathe is the ticker.

Man City having a burgundy change strip - it's not enough that they've poached half of our players, but stealing our colours is a step too far. Why don't they just rename themselves Manchester Arsenal?

Bah!

Joyce I believed the credit card company was responsible for any fraud/ liability incurred? why are you not covered by this?

Ttpyo: camping. Who decided that this it's a form of recreation? I'm knackered! Even popping to the loo involves a short hike, but anything as sophisticated as making a cup of tea requires fiendish organisation. The one good thing is that when you get back, you *really* appreciate the luxury.
NB: nogget is camping.

Camping: It's like a holiday, but worse.

you've obviously been on the same sorts of holidays as me. I have just woken up with a headache and managed to make somraine tea...in the rain. Next I shall risk going to the toilets...in the rain. The forecast is for rain.

Bloody charity collector just knocked at my door, seeing as I'm not doing much with myself lately and out of boredom I let her do her speech and it wasn't because she was a pretty girl and she kept pointing at her boobs, I mean the logo on her shirt.

But we talked about the cancer research they were doing and the great advances in treatments and we even talked about the weather and the town and where she's from and all that.

And then I said, I'm sorry, I'd love to donate but I've just lost my job and I'm not really in a position to be donating right now. And the moment I finished that sentence she f**king turned around and was like "Ok then bye".

What a f**king bitch!

In fairness to her, she probably works on commission (some of them don't get anything other than commission) and while she could have been more sensitive you did just tie her up for a while with no intenton of donating. If she stopped and had a long chat with everyone who wasn't interested she wouldn't make a wage.

I do hate charity collectors, though. The area I live in is always flooded with them because they foolishly assume that the people who own those houses are at home during the day, so they end up talking to nannies and cleaners all day. I was once doorstepped by three of them and one tried to take the baby out of my arms to get me to sign a form - outrageous.
