Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
My dustbin men, who week-in, week-out, lift the dustbin lid off the dustbin with it's handle, take out the bag/bags, and then either throw the lid on the floor or put it back on the dustbin - UPSIDE DOWN!
WTF is all that about? I know you've f
king been, you come every Friday, so you don't need to leave some indication to demonstrate the fact! Surely it's easier just to put the lid back down on top of the dustbin using the handle you're already holding, where it will have less chance of blowing down the fking road!
Council retards!

Defendants in court, who pull out the most ridiculous reasons in mitigation.
I was just reading about a serial peeping tom, who was using a mirror to look up ladies skirts, and he has claimed that it's because 'he had trouble at work and his snooker team folded'
Do the lawyers just sit down with them and say -
'can you think of any old nonsense that we can use to try and reduce your sentence?'
'Well, my cat died five years ago'
'Brilliant, that'll do!'

It pays to leave a tip at Xmas.....
Ha! I remember those days as a kid, when the friendly bin man would knock on the door and give a cheery merry Christmas in the hope of some cash in return.I'd love the f
kers to try that now! They'd have to be paying ME!R8VXF said:

When contractors working next door keep parking across my drive and blocking access
Call the police. That will teach them!MartG said:
IIRC police aren't interested in this sort of thing - if they keep it up much longer though there may be a 'reversing incident' where my towbar ends up in his radiator
According to https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q440.htm, the Police are indeed not interested in many counties because this sort of thing is now a Local Authority issue. What hasn't changed is that they take being blocked in and unable to leave your driveway as more serious than being unable to return to your house.
Since the van is liveried up and has a phone number on it then you could try a complaint to the Head Office of the firm owning the van.

Can you not just pop next door and have a word with the neighbour? Maybe inform them that their contractor is blocking your drive and ask them to move?I certainly would't be taking pics and plotting reversing damage - get it nipped in the bud pronto

In our local press recently. On being convicted of violent behaviour, the defence brief said,'Although my client has two previous convictions for violence, he is not a violent person' (two years.)I was just reading about a serial peeping tom, who was using a mirror to look up ladies skirts, and he has claimed that it's because 'he had trouble at work and his snooker team folded'
