I work in a bathroom showroom and how the hell i've lasted 16 years not punching a customer I don't know. This morning I had a customer moaning as I was too busy to see him. I said to him last night come in between 8.30 and 9am and ill have time, NO the tw@t turns up at 9.45!!!!! Then every other day in this ****** shop I have people returning stuff because they measured wrong and of course its my fault!!!!! I'm sorry sir but its not my fault you can't use a tape measure. But the one that gets me is people that can't fit toilet seats and then have a rant in the shop and say 'I'm a engineer and there's a flaw in the design' I then show them how to do it and they have this puzzled look on there face and I reply 'If your a engineer then I would think about a change of careers'

So much more I could moan about but I'm not gonna hog the thread
All I'll say is my sister in-law ain't about and she's managing to start arguments with people via text message. Family drama the gift that keeps on giving

The Corsa driver that nearly t-boned me at the roundabout this morning!!!!!!
LED headlights on, white car and in daylight with very little traffic and the fecker still didn’t see me! If I had continued the exit I was going the side of the car would have been wiped out. Had to continue round and move to the inside lane where I stopped with horn on full blast. He looked at me as if to say what’s his problem?!? There was a few choice sweary words. If only he had acknowledged his mistake. After I had calmed down, I could only think how close that had been and luckily the kids weren’t in the car as they would both of been on the passenger side.

This is what I hate right now:
In November, my sister-in-law and I took my elderly mother for a memory assessment. It's a big imposition for my SIL; she's still trying to come to terms with my brother's sudden death in 2016, but she sees taking on his responsibility for our mum as a way of honouring him, even though the emotional toil is really punishing on her. It's a big imposition for me too, but in a different way. Aside from the sadness of seeing my mum become diminished and dependent on me, I live two hours' drive away so each visit is an entire day, and means I have take time off work, and over time it burns through a big portion of my annual leave.
The outcome of the November assessment was that mum was diagnosed formally with early onset Alzheimer's. Not a surprise given the symptoms she'd been displaying for quite some time, but a bit of an emotional jolt to have it officially confirmed. (She, of course, has reacted by forgetting she's been diagnosed, but that's another story.)
She was prescribed medication (which she forgets to take) and it was agreed she'd have a follow-up assessment after six weeks. In mid-December, we got a letter for an appointment at 10am on 4 January at the same venue. I couldn't get there for 10am so I rang the appointments clerk and asked if we could have a later appointment. She said the last appointment of the day was at Midday, which I was happy with. A few days later, another letter came through with the new time, but also a new venue, about ten miles from the original.
So, yesterday, I set off in torrential rain, despite which I made good time, and we arrived at the new venue at about 11.35. We announced our arrival at Reception and were told the memory clinic is upstairs. We went up, and found the room marked "Memory Clinic", and a sign on the door saying take a seat. We could hear people in there - the appointment before ours, naturally - so we took a seat. Midday came and went; that's fine, these things can over-run.
At 12.25 the door finally opened, but instead of a patient emerging, two members of staff came out talking about the lunch break they were about to take. I asked what was going on, and they said "Oh no, we're not the memory team, there's no clinic today we were just using the room".
So I rang the appointments clerk, and I'm sure dear reader you can guess the rest. The Midday appointment was at the original venue all along, and the clerk had messed up when she put the different venue in the second letter. Meanwhile, when we didn't show up, the doctor had called the clerk to say we were a no-show, and she was leaving for the day.
The earliest opportunity for a new appointment is next Thursday, at 9am. I can't make it, so my SIL will have to take mum on her own and report back to me afterwards. We took mum - who was by now confused and bewildered - home, and I drove home. The rain had stopped but had been replaced by 50mph winds which made the M25 a pretty scary place.
So I've lost a day's annual leave (and £40-worth of petrol and a lot of emotional energy) for nothing. My SIL has had her own day completely disrupted for nothing, and my mum had no idea what's going on. A perfect example of a simple admin error having big repercussions. But what I don't get is why the Reception staff didn't ask why we'd arrived for a memory clinic appointment on a day when the clinic wasn't even there.
These are people's lives you're mucking about with, for God's sake!

@Ghost, cheers, mate; there's no good outcome likely, best we can hope for is the slowest journey possible to the inevitable bad one.

We've had direct family experience of this and it's not a nice thing at all.
Best wishes to you and your family mate.
Hope it all gets sorted soon Jeff. Like @Sandra said it seems like a classic Royal Mess.
Not taking anyone’s sides here but Jeremy C*nt has made life difficult for NHS and these are the repercussions that we as general public are facing. Most of my family and friends are Doctors and based on what I hear everyday people (doctors, nurses and admin staff) are leaving NHS for good. No wonder why they are screwing things up for a lot of people due to staff shortage.

I wish I wasn't bothered by it but I am. FOOTBALL does my head!!!! Phil Coutinho has left but I don't think Liverpool are going to buy a replacement??? Come on FSG you said you didn't need to balance the books are buying VVD. With 142mil burning a hole in your pocket buy Mahrez and Sanchez and be done with it. But all the best Phil and thanks for the memories
Sanchez looks odds on for City, and LFC are denying the Mahrez links for now. But they would do as, with all that cash, they'll leave until the end of the window to avoid being ripped off. It's a decent goalkeeper and more defensive reinforcements we need
After the Arsenal game I have lost faith with Mignolet but who's out there to buy? I'm hoping VVD will keep the other center backs on there toes
Might even be worth giving Reina a call and beg him to come back
The last solid GK we had too.
And at the risk of showing my age, I'd have to go back to Ray Clemence to find one before him
