People who start a thread asking for help then don't return to it but post in other forums.

The Amazon seller who I've been exchanging mails with for the past week. I want to return an item that isn't working but the git keeps on repeating the same silly questions which I've answered a dozen times already. Plus they always write in text-speak so it feels like a chore just to read their responses.

Is there a way that I can get a refund through Amazon and avoid the seller?

Watching a football match last night. Decided it was so boring that I'd go to bed. (It was 0-0 at full time and dull) Beginning to wish I'd stayed up now as my team won.

A grown man who has just boarded the bus playing african christmas gospel music on his phone speaker, and not quietly either.

A grown man.

And frying became "pan" frying. How else can you fry anything but in a pan?

Presumably just to differentiate between a pan and a deep fat fryer.

As opposed to that bass that swims in the River Irwell or Trent?

Yes you can. Log into Amazon and use the chat facility. If you have been communicating with the seller via Amazon they will be able to see all the details.

They will tell you the next steps to take and if it still doesn't get resolved Amazon will refund through their A-Z guarantee scheme.

Been there and got the T-shirt and one reason why I try to avoid marketplace sellers.

Parents who think their kids are clever because they can operate a sodding tablet.
Yours kids are dumbed down morons looking at stuff you don't want to know about!

Parents who share the God awful art work their children have made in school. It's barely legible and looks more like Arabic than English but we're supposed to 'like' it and say how cute it is.

I could do better with a box of crayons, a pack of printer paper and 15 cans of Stella

I'll not even start on the tone deaf singing at the Winterval concert, naturally recorded in portrait mode!

People who think the latest iPhone is an essential and will go without other things to finance it. I don't mind what they spend their money on, but if they make a point of telling me how flat broke they are and how because they are flat broke they will not be buying any Christmas gifts or how they cannot afford to eat or heat their house then my sympathy level goes into negative territory.

I used to love it when people casually asked my Mum if she was 'all set'. She didn't realise it was just a platitude. She thought it was a genuine concern into just how set she was and would launch into a long and detailed monologue.

"Well, I've presents wrapped & delivered. Cards away & I posted the Australian ones a good while back. I've the turkey ordered & it's to be picked up about 12.45 on Xmas Eve - I'm hoping Tom will do that for I've enough to be getting on with - & Tesco delivery due on the 23rd but I'll go to the village for the sprouts, parsnips...I like fresh vegetables from that nice greengrocer whose wife died there not long ago..."

Some even got the gammon & hoover edit or the stats on the cream sherry situation.

As a teen I cringed at 'are you all set' but when I saw the regret etched on their faces when they doled out that platitude to Mum I learned to enjoy it. Think she might actually have caused many a person to never ask again.

Ha! I'm with you on the art work. And I'm talking about mine own kids artwork.

I'm redecorating the hall and had the unimaginative idea of putting the kids old artwork in nice frames but when I troughed the memory boxes there was nothing but a bunch unidentifiable sh*te. Nothing i could use. Bless them. And to think I lavished praise on them when they brought it home. I should have had them tested.

I remember our boy making me display his 'bird box'. It was a Weetabix box with one - ONE - strip of brown sugar paper glued on. That brute of a thing lived in my bedroom for years.

There used to be a website many years ago that took the Mick out of kids art work. I think they even did their own bad versions to see which was better!

I shouldn't make fun but there's one woman on Facebook who is so proud and keeps sharing her almost 5 year olds attempts at writing. Especially writing his 4 letter name! Throwing a can of spaghetti on the page would create similar results

Sellotape which:

a) won't tear at the proper place on the dispenser so you finish up with yards of stuff with fingerprints all over it

b) won't stick two bits of paper together

especially RIGHT NOW
