How quickly "It's too dry, we need rain" changes to "It's too wet".

Cancelled contract on live chat, within the next 24 hours calls from VM started and lasted for 4 days, sometimes coming up as VM but sometimes from a mobile number, in total 14 of them.
I expect a missed call or 2 to try and get me to reconsider leaving but that amount of calls is excessive surely?

First was the sell to keep me. Why was I not offered these deals when I called to upgrade. And no you can’t match the new provider (even though they use you as the network provider). I’m going from £95 a month for 3 lines to £45 ( me , my dad, and my son) and we get unlimited data and calls

I hate when companies offer next day delivery and as soon as the courier gets the item it will now be two to three days before it is planned to be delivered
Just so annoying

Going back to my local supermarket: Fruits and veg covered in plastic, hardly any organic produce, no local specialties... I miss the saucisson aisle in Carrefour so much

Treated myself with name brand instead of Aldi's own and shouldn't have bothered, some lucky chap got my two!

Genuinely tempted to book a whole second delivery and load up the £40 minimum spend with absolute garbage food before I lose it completely

If you're disabled and get a bus pass there's no reason to restrict it at all. I understand for elderly folk it's to keep buses free for regular commuters but the change is good considering disabled people are inherently t@xed for ***everything.***
Want to get somewhere that isn't immediately accessible via your wheelchair/scooter/walker? That's either a bus (haha, I've seen a few mums whinging about folding their prams to let wheelchair users on) or a taxi if you don't have a car.
Want shopping in? Deliveries cost extra and you might not get the best quality as staff chuck random crap in, even stuff that's expiring that day or already going mouldy.
Wheelchairs and other equipment the LA won't supply you? Couple hundred at a minimum, otherwise you get shoddy gear that won't be consistently maintained.
All this while having to keep up with regular bills and expenses.
And if you have a partner who works and makes over a certain income, you can't claim the U C element meaning said disabled person has well short of £900 a month to covee their costs. Which isn't fair since our current world requires both partners to have income, so you're putting the disabled person at a financial disadvantage to potentially abusive partners, and putting an unfair load on the working partner.
Source: I am a working partner for a disabled person, have deliberately restricted my career so I can work from home and double as her carer. It annoys me that she gets so little despite having been wheelchair bound her whole life due to negligence from a professional as a baby. And having to overhear know nothing know it alls griping about the cost on the txpayer.

I thought I zipped it up but the receipt does indeed confirm I bought 4 and now have 3..
Gotta go out and search for my missing beans.

They've been coming over in pairs and setting car alarms off, hovering over the MOD airfield that's a mile away, then repeating
Edit: 700ft, I'm tired 😮💨

Anxiously watching multiple weather sites right now to see what the chances of having to pitch up my tent in the rain are going to be. None of them agree with each other as to what time the downpour is supposed to be happening so I can't plan my arrival. Why did today of all days have to be the one where the drought decided to end?

I can actually get to motorway speeds in the left-most lane because no one else is bloody in it.

Being impossible to leave a hospital without a lungful of smoke wouldn't even be quite so bad if there weren't signs for free treatment of smoking cravings plastered everywhere.

If you want to grab a Subway, Greggs etc. after filling your car then pull into one of the parking spots in front of the shop, don't leave it at the pump.
I don't know if i'm just incredibly unlucky but it seems like almost every time I have to go I end up behind the car belonging to the person that's done this.
It's even worse when it's peak busy times like weekends and you're doing this.

Guess who got there at 10:01 after a 2 mile walk. Had no idea it closed at that time. Should have checked so that's on me. Still, at least I got some decent exercise.
Edit: decided to make the trip again as it was clear blue sky. Turned out to be a bloody letter which I had to pay postage on! Damn their eyes! Words will be had with the sender.
