People who don't bother booking their kids into after school childcare but expect that it'll just be fine for them to go anyway, even if that fucks up the adult to child ratios and also makes the child upset because they don't know if they're going or not.

Just now, self service checkout. Firstly 4 sixth formers from our local private school push in (well, race me) to the tills. Then they all get a bag for life (and don't pay-"God, I'm not paying") then one of them arses about and does a bit of sleight of hand and buggers off without paying. How do I know? The next woman through, (a store supervisor) got the message "do you want extra time?" And a list of unpaid stuff. I told her who it was and she says she's getting cctv up as they have been doing it all since tge start of term. Then as I'm packing, another one starts trying to go through before I'm finished. I kept my peace first time (as I wasn't sure) but I told madam to wait her turn.

Supposed to be exchanging contracts today, the buyers said £10k less or they walk. They were told to FOTTFSOF...

I’m just back from walking dog. Was wandering along having happ ythoughts when a car pulled onto the pavement right in front of me, effectively blocking me from walking on. I stopped and looked startled I guess, and then she tooted her horn. I made a WTF face and she rolled down her window and said ‘can you cross the road, please, you are standing outside my house and I need to roll the car forward’. I may have pointed out that I was on the actual pavement and she said ‘will you just fucking move’.

@elfycat hopefully they'll come crawling back tomorrow..... bastards!

My lovely work colleague's sister recently died and he is in the process of sorting out her things. He texted some of her friends to invite them to take a 'small memento' from her flat. He went round there at the weekend to find that they had practically cleared the place out, including a £5k painting, a digital radio, the Dyson and her jewellery. He is trying to be understanding. I am like - on what planet does a £5k painting and a Dyson constitute a 'small memento'? I say: Cheeky F*ers.

I was asked if I'd move out of my (paid for in advance) office space 4 days early so they could get it ready for the new tenants. Needless to say, no suggestion I get reimbursed for the four days....

Teenagers in our local supermarket yesterday. I could hear their screeching from about 4 isles away. One of them climbed inside the ice cream freezer and shut the glass door. Cue more screeching from the others. A little old man was standing close by looking startled and the kid in the freezer almost landed on him when he ‘fell’ out of the freezer. Twats

Invited a group of friends with small children for a day out where entry tickets are needed (around £20 a head). As the party is on us (a belated birthday), of course I ordered and paid for tickets for everyone online the day before (after confirming the final numbers), and sent a pdf to everyone in case if someone is late etc. The tickets are not refundable, as purchased less than 24 hours before entry. In the morning, one family calls to say they cannot go as a child is very ill, and they are so so sorry and offer to compensate. Of course I consult my little internal miss manners, gracefully refuse, but five tickets are now spare. I decide still to try my luck at the ticket desk and explain the situation with the illness /refund to the administrator, really don't want £100 to go to waste - or, failing that, just plan to give these tickets to the next person in line as a random good deed. The administrator is actually very understanding and agrees to a refund on two adult and three child tickets - only to scan the tickets to discover that all five were claimed three hours earlier.

Daytimetvsucks · 24/09/2018 17:47

😱😱😱😱😱 @silvercuckoo please tell me you said something to them 😳

psychomath · 24/09/2018 17:49

Vauxhall, had she already parked her car in a different spot and insisted on moving it to yours before she'd go to work, or did she stop it in the middle of the road to wait for you? Confused

I’ve got some kids school shoes for sale on Facebook. Sunday I had a message asking if I can deliver to local town. I agreed and drove to the address at the agreed time. Four (quite dirty) young children opened the door. I asked if mum or dad was in. They started asking what I’ve got and trying to look in the shoe box. I say a couple of times I need to speak to mum or dad. They call upstairs. A woman comes down obviously with no English and starts talking to kids. Then she gets on her mobile phone. I’m told to wait by oldest child (only one with English), told dad will come back soon. Five minutes later dad turns up. He comes up to me and gestures I open the shoe box. I do. He takes one shoe, gives it to the mum who tries it on the foot of one of the children. Shakes her head. The oldest child says to me it doesn’t fit. Mum hands it back to me. The dad walks off and they shut the door. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the rudeness and CF of it all - needless to say I no longer offer delivery on any items I am selling!!!!

dustarr73 · 24/09/2018 17:52

@Silvercuckoo how did they scan the tickets,if you had them

callmeadoctor · 24/09/2018 17:55

By the way, HotSauce. Your colleague may be entitled to free taxi travel to work if she is disabled, get her to check.

Fiffyshadesofgreymatter · 24/09/2018 17:56

@ilovecherries I would have sat down on the pavement and let my dog 'have a wee rest'. What a bitch!

silvercuckoo · 24/09/2018 17:56

@Daytimetvsucks I am still looking for words. Grin The funny thing is that this particular family are good friends from time immemorial, and we don't keep a tally of who owes whom, but sometimes they do weird shit like that and I don't know how to react. Their children are a bit older and are usually a little bit bored in our company, so I guess they just decided to have a day to themselves :)

Fiffyshadesofgreymatter · 24/09/2018 17:58

@silvercuckoo so what did you do? Did you check that no one had cheekily forwarded your email to some friends to steal tickets, so you could be sure it was them? If it was deffo them, what did you say? I'm usually laid back but I could not keep quiet about someone basically stealing a £100 day out. Saying they can't go and then going without you for free!! No way.

ziggiestardust · 24/09/2018 17:59

silvercuckoo I would have to say something! Just like ‘glad you managed to have a nice day regardless on Saturday, hope DC enjoyed and we’ll see you soon’.

Fiffyshadesofgreymatter · 24/09/2018 17:59

@silvercuckoo cross post! Please please please send them a txt asking if they enjoyed the day out as you had been offered a refund for the tickets but they had to cancel it since the tickets had been used. Please!!!

Daytimetvsucks · 24/09/2018 17:59

@silvercuckoo that may be so but at your expense and they lied about it! You should text saying you've spoken to the company and they offered to reimburse you but are saying the tickets were used (which obviously wasn't by them as they were at home with a sick child!) so you've had to make an official complaint to get your money back 😂 see how quickly they confess!
