Get a towbar fitted to your car and them reverse into the car at night. You will be totally blameless, it shouldn't damage your car and the problem will go away very quickly.

Idk it just looks like they can't afford it. Their house is quite big and from my side I can only see around 3 lights on in the whole house.

Now, I get that you shouldn't have all the lights on but when there are 4 people there it wouldn't be hard to have more lights on. You know, hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms? So maybe 7 lights at least.

Idk.. Don't know why people need a big house if they're not even using the rooms.

People being offended on other peoples behalf, for example everyone taking to Twitter to inform the world that Madonna had assaulted some fashion model by exposing her boob while on stage, and everyone was outraged and offended on the models behalf...

On an interview with said model she said 'surely its up to me to be offended by this and nobody elses business but mine?'

Or another one, having your rant on Twitter (female tennis for example) everyone jumping on the bandwagon and being offended, so then you take to Twitter again to apologise and tell everyone you were misunderstood.

Either have the balls to say what you mean in the first place or dont say it at all - dont backtrack and be sorry and claim you were misquoted after everyone jumps on you for saying what you said in the first place.

I went for an interview at work yesterday and I thought it went okay, however I was only in there for about 15 minutes(I had a 20 minute test beforehand). I answered all their questions and the only one I stumbled on (employment legislation, I did think of something though- Immigration) I turned into one of my questions at the end. I work in a different field and so don't need to know about employment legislation and hadn't even considered that it would be brought up.

Everything I have read online says 15 minutes is bad. I should not look online really

Unflushable turds.

Tell me about it. Many years ago we ran a B&B establishment, and one guest left one so big and hard that the only way to get rid of it was rubber gloves on, take it out, wrap it in newspaper, and put it in the bin.

I'm sorry if this sounds rather indelicate, but I would not have thought it possible, and someone must have been suffering a torn anus after that.

I saw a footlong inside a bog in East London and I wasn't at a Subway.

It's nothing to do with you so don't worry

I know what you mean. You get people that complain about you not replying to e-mails, like yesterday. I tell them I don't read e-mails that often, so phone or text me instead, but no, that's not good enough. I'm not at your beck and call like a Pavlov's dog.

ETA. The same applies to posts on DS. Nothing personal.

(1) I think the post doesn't deserve a response.
(2) I haven't seen it, especially as the search engine is borked.
(3) I wouldn't reply to you anyway.

Get it.

And while were at it.

Threads with incomplete non descriptive titles.

What if ...... (followed by the rest in the first post) doesn't cut the mustard.

Same with 'What would you do .....', 'What do you think .....', etc.

It's just click bait, so stop it.

I know someone who did exactly that ............... the story made me gag

I'll be 73 in two weeks' time, and I suppose that I'm a little unusual in that I am quite happy for everybody to refer to me by my first name, even young children. In my opinion it does not imply lack of respect, and it is something I actively encourage. It makes me feel younger too!

Today, however, I have received a letter from someone in the head office of my building society who does not know me personally, but has headed the letter 'Dear Ian', and goes on to encourage me to take out my home insurance with the society.

Now, this does really irk me, as I do not like people who try to ingratiate themselves with me in a clumsy attempt to achieve commercial gain. Needless to say, such people do not get my business.

I'm probably a grumpy old git, but I don't think that my attitude is unreasonable - particularly as I am quite happy for the world and his wife to use my first name - if they know me.

It's not just you. If I was receiving something from a company, I would (as most do) either exoect them to refer to me as Miss ****** or my first and surname. Not just my first name. I'm quite a bit younger than you. I've noticed that most have started to refer to me by my full name. Just what's that about?

Well, I think that it displays an abysmal lack of respect. I think that whatever age you are, and however young you are, you are entitled to respect from everybody, and you are quite right to be narked about it.

It's this daft world we live in, where everything has gone to the dogs.

This post has just made me laugh so much.

Tiger Rag

I'm so sorry, but I rather missed the point of your earlier post. I too, get rather a lot of correspondence in my full name, and I think that this has something to do with the way that the details have been configured on the computer.

You may possibly have noticed that your title is missing as well, and that the letter might be headed 'Dear Frederick Peter Bloggs', which again must be the computer configuration.

Ah! These days in which we live. Makes you proud, doesn't it?

The constant assumption that I have a mobile phone number by companies .. I dont have one Im agraphobic and blind whats the point I use the land line thanks.. took me ages tporeport a landline fault as robot keep demanding a land mobile number to test the results to.

I had someone on the phone last week who didn't only think it was ok to call me by my first name without asking but also to shorten it without asking.

I hate my name being shortened

Yes. We live in a day and age where everyone is expected to have all the latest gadgetry.

If you don't, you are a non-person. Terrible.

I agree. I have a mobile phone, landline and email address. But I'd rather not give them out unless I really have to. On some online forms, they don't allow you to continue if you don't enter your landline number. I'm sure there are some people out there who don't have a landline (because of poor signal) and just rely on their mobile phones.

Being forced constantly to listen to some shit noise that some people call music. I don't recognise a constant thud as music, sorry!

People who stand and talk at the side of a zebra crossing with no intension to cross. I have stopped a few times with this! Why why why???

I got to be one of the final 3 candidates for an interview, and was told today that I didn't get it. I am so disappointed. I said everything I wanted to say and they apparently 'loved my interview(s)' but still, absolutely gutted.

It's gonna put a dampner on my weekend.

I like that idea


Your house sounds like Blackpool illuminations to me! Mind you, that could be because I have a thing about wasting electricity & switching lights off when you leave a room.

I used to know an architect who designed a new police station. The spec included painting the walls in the custody area pink, because studies had shown it reduced people's tendency to become aggressive.

Why do people need to take their kids shopping with them? I went shopping this morning (I wouldn't normally, knowing it was Good Friday; but I was desparate!) and it seemed that everyone was dragging their kids around.

So you'd be happier if they left them at home alone. God forbid they get in your way!
