Retired, wealthy, self isolating, bored neighbours who flag you down and say “I’m not going to moan”

then do nothing but moan.

coz they’ve feck all better to do than hide behind hedges and step out in front of slow moving vehicles pretending to be taken by surprise by something they’ve been watching and filming for the previous 15minutes.

Being stopped by local gardeners (whilst towing bale & cattle trailers) on the want for "any spare straw & muck", and by the way could you drop it off?

What's the problem, ask a good price for both muck and hours.

Trying to help someone out who has been made redundant by employing them to do some work, yet they want their morning and afternoon breaks.
We only start at 8am and finish at 5pm, and we do stop at 10am and 3pm for a break!
Ffs !!!!?

Wasting food. Really gets to me. People throwing bread rolls about or the local running club using flour to mark out their route for the day.

I've got 3 tenants living in flats on the farm here, with instructions from me about recycling and composting. All compost to go on the muck heap. I could almost live on the food they throw out there - tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, oranges, bananas, apples, courgettes, onions, you name it. Every day I carry off the spoils to my partner who turns it into great meals. The main waster is a single woman, 52 years old, had a bang on the head years ago and now lives completely off the state and does sweet FA, every day of her life. Gets boxes of food delivered, some very posh stuff, much of which ends up on my plate, via the muck heap. I'm very grateful for it really, but it still bugs me big time!

We get that with courier vans, usually when you're halfway through a job that needs your full attention. First thought is have we something on order, if not will we be using that courier in the future so trudge down the drive to find their sat nav and phone have no signal and they are looking for someone called Jones ? There are a lot of Jones on the Welsh border.

Vehicle recovery firms that collect cars from accident scenes and leave a pile of bits, bumpers, radiator grills etc.

Exactly, surely they could just open one of the doors and shove it all in the car it came off!
They have recently trimmed the verge along a very busy road and it’s disgusting. Bits of car, lorry tyres rubbish and discarded road signs.

Friend of mine passed away in a car crash made me livid that parts of his car were left where he died took barely any effort to pick up the bumper and such lazy morons

Waiting and waiting for a guy to get loaded in front of me at the mill while he's a asking for more and more to fill every little corner up ....sides were heaped at 45 degrees ...then stood on the top talking and talking to the guy filling him up ...then he set off. .. Blend spilling off the back and side and when he pulled off the weighbridge ..hit a small bump and it's still falling off

p1sses me off too, nearly as much as the people that are sympathetic to a bunch of people looking for the next excuse to burn down buildings and rob the latest flat screen telly or Nike sneaker.

Keyless car, I’ve had enough of it
We can’t leave the keys “on” the pickup so it can be locked and left for one of us to pick it up as you can just get in it and drive it away
The bloody thing once let me drive it to the next village without a key so wouldn’t start again and stranded me there
There is no place for this magic key inside the pickup and we have lost it somewhere multiple times and had to empty all the tools, clothes, bait bags to find it
you can’t simply turn on the ignition, you have to start it, put it in neutral, stop it, then press start again then the ignition will stay on
When you get out to open a gate it violently beeps at you because the key is in your pocket
If it’s unlocked you can press the button with the key in your pocket to lock/unlock it, however it’s unlocked and you don’t have the key it won’t lock when you press the button but it will let you in and possibly let you drive away!
“electronic key cannot be detected”
The stupid thing locked me out with the engine still running key in my pocket

Can anybody come up with a good point of a keyless car???

Have you tried keeping the key in a tin box “on” the truck? That should stop it doing its magic but let you leave it hidden.

I have lost my terminal crimpers just when I needed them. I thought my brother borrowed them but he says he hasn’t got them and I have searched his shed and the workshop and the yard and every cab and can’t find them anywhere. I vaguely remember doing some job with them but can’t remember what and where which is frustrating. Maybe they got lifted last time we had “visitors”. Bet they turn up a day after I have bought a new pair.

Me to builders:
“Just don’t chuck all your hardcore where the flower bed are going to be lads or I’ll have a b4stard job later.”

6 years on someone gives the little girl a sunflower.....”that’s great” says I “I’ll plant it outside the kitchen window so you can watch it grow”.

strokers.
