To be annoyed at council waiting times

My council has a 3 week wait for all repairs. The light in my bathroom has gone, it's not a standar bulb so someone from the council has to come to sort it. I have to wait 3 weeks! So I cannot use my bathroom after a certain time, I usually bath my children before bed but won't be able to for 3 weeks. Aibu to think it should be sorted sooner?

I'm not the one confusing "its" and "it's" and "your" and "you're", while attempting to insult someone with a word I can't even spell.

ClopySow Wow, did your mother not teach you how to be a nice person? Apparently not; poor parenting on her part considering your behaviour.

And of course, wirh such behaviour from you, your kids have no chance either.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 04/08/2017 02:02

I'm not Scottish, so that makes it pretty redundant.

I'm embarrassed for you. You've shown yourself up so badly you should be ashamed, but your behaviour tells me you won't be.

ClopySow · 04/08/2017 02:39

You're right. I'm not.

Save your embarrasment and shame for yourself. I genuinely do not care about the opinion of someone so truly lacking in basic human decency.

Pivoine · 04/08/2017 02:59

wow. I can't do bold as I don't know how and can't be arsed to look it up right now, but WhatToDoAboutThis thinks it's ok to attack another poster by besmirching clopysow's mother's parenting skills.

Hmm, stay classy, whattodo.

Pivoine · 04/08/2017 02:59

It would apparently that WhaToDo's mother didn't teach them manners.

Laulau79 · 04/08/2017 07:21

All joking aside I'm ashamed of some of the attitudes on here,
Unbelievable uneducated Snobs

TipTopTipTopClop · 04/08/2017 07:33

Bollocks. Prepared to pay for it? Nobody wants to pay market value. There is no choice. Capitalism is fucked up.

Why don't you move to Venezuela, where things are so much better?

ChasingHighs · 04/08/2017 07:56

There was a piece on the TV about council tenants this morning who said they were treated like 2nd class citizen's. I can see why they feel like that considering some of the attitudes on this thread.

londonrach · 04/08/2017 08:02

Ive heard it all now. Its a light bulb, change it. (Forgets the nhs clinic where i worked where we had the bulbs but wont allowed to change them due to health and safety and had to wait a week for the handiman to come for the cupboard light....dont get me on that as next time we didnt report it just did it and you know what we survived!!)

redrobinblue · 04/08/2017 08:49

I don't think anyone's jealous OP. I think they view you as entitled,feckless, and a moaner.

Have you no means/drive to try fix your own light?
