I see people pulling over and stopping for this all the time when there would plenty of room in the road if they just pulled to the side a bit and slowed down. It's counter productive when cars stop half on/off the road for no real reason. Maybe the ignorant selfish twat was following the ambulance because they had a loved one in it? Both scenarios at traffic lights , ambulance???? Never mentioned ambulance, one was a police car , no one in the back ,boy racer following and definitely not an unmarked police car , second one ,two fire engines and I’m not sure if they carry patients or injured people and certainly not when coming from the fire station . to me it’s called manners , drivers moving out the way just allow them back in . I do agree there are times when people move over unnecessarily but they’re just trying to be helpful . Drivers racing to gain a few feet , pricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Women rant! The wife said at 10am “I’m going in the shower then we’ll go out for a bit” ok, Great ?? She finally went in the shower at half twelve, she still needs to do her hair and has now decided she needs to make a “quick” phone call to one of her pals. So that’ll be at least another hour until she’s ready! Of course it’s me that’s the dick that needs to “Stop moaning, I’ll not be long”! Cow ???

Herbert.

Talk about sucking the fun out the game. She was even saying about a box soccer camp her boy is going on better not have any carry on because "He wants this" the boy is ****ing shite, he only gets a game because the other option is a fat kid that's slightly worse.

I was talking to 1 lassie working here and she said she didn't like my top, hearts top. Turns out she's a hibby, so she is probably the source of the aroma.

Years ago in the call centres they banged on about it, you saw issues not problems, challenges not trouble. You never use phrases like "don't worry" because the last word they heard was worry, a negative word - instead you say things like "you can be confident we'll resolve this". Even resolve instead of fix - fix suggests it's broken while resolve just suggests wee fluffy temporary issues. I think we're just seeing more and more people who've had to deal with call centre training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to phone my credit card company as we’d had three transactions refused the previous day. He said he was going to ask me some ‘securuty questions’ before proceeding. The first one was ‘ how young will you be on your next birthday, sir’.? Immediately put my hackles up but I bit my tongue! I was then told that there were ‘no issues’ with my card and then, the coup de grace from him, ‘your card is good to go’. Followed by ‘go spend’. I was like - feck off will you!

Tazio Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Feral little ned *******s cruising the streets looking to hurt people. A lad who works for me got attacked by two of the little shits on Saturday and ended up in A+E. He looks likes he's been in a car crash. Nice quiet guy walking down the road with his girlfriend and they started harassing him for some of his chips and getting more offensive waiting for the inevitable moment where he told them to **** off and then then using it as an excuse. Didn't even have the guts to front up but waited until they were walking away and jumping him from behind. One of the little shits was apparently a bit of a UFC fan and after getting on top of him and pounding his face got him in a choke hold and tried to make him pass out. Meanwhile his mate stood by until he got out the old and then smashed him in the face before they ran away. Luckily they were near a police station and went in and 3 cops rushed straight out on foot and found them so they were arrested there and then after being ID'd. Hope they get the book thrown at them. He reckons they were only about 16 or 17 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
