People in supermarkets browsing a shelf with their trolley at 90 degrees blocking the aisle - are they really that pig ignorant?! While I'm on a whinge - slow walkers, people who do 40 EVERYWHERE, through a 60, then through a 30, people driving with their mirrors folded in, the amount of new cars that are clearly specced without indicators.

Off for a pint.

Just think, there'll be whole departments of hundreds of people at bmw and Audi devoted to designing indicators to fit the light clusters and they are never used. Poor beggars, what a waste of a life.

DPD :mad:

Tbh they have always been one of the better courier firms, and 95% of the time have been very good, only when you get a rogue drive do things go wrong, been spoiled a bit with a few of the drivers I suppose, they would make the effort to find us in the yard and or just leave the delivery in a safe spot.

But lately they have been a complete shower of sh!t ! Not sure what’s gone wrong with them?......but it would appear to be everything!:mad::rolleyes::poop:

I had this last year with DPD. They hire a load of seasonal drivers to cope with Christmas who can't be arsed looking for rural addresses, I had messages saying I wasn't in with pictures of random farm sheds to prove it.

Their regular drivers are great though.

You go onto a new website, a small window appears saying Bloggs Bros wants to install cookies on your PC. You can't see the webpage and you know you will delete these in the next few days, so say OK. Seconds later another window comes up "we notice that you have an adblocker installed, please uninstall this to access our site". You click the close button AKA the FO button and gain five seconds before the thing pops up again by which time you realise that the web designer they have employed will take you through hundreds of Mb of graphics before you can get a price on a piece of pipe which is all you wanted. If you get past these obstacles you are then faced with creating an account, which involves ticking the box to say you are not a robot followed by the Captcha test (visual) followed by the even worse aural Captcha tests. Am I the only person in the world who can't distinguish on a half inch out of focus thumbnail photo between a skip with warning lights and the tail lights of a Lada Riga, probably as it smashes into said skip ? The aural test has been picked up by Rowan Atkinson's agent as a nice little earner, no, I'm sorry I can't type "bloppyfog" as an answer.
I'm sure I can manage without that piece of pipe.
