Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[midden]

Got auto renewal quote through for home and contents £222.40
Went online to furry friend to get comparison quotes cheapest came in £140
Phone existing insurer to cancel auto renewal and then completed purchase through the furry one

Result........same policy with same insurer (yep same insurer)  minus £82.40 plus a furry toy and 2 for 1 cinema tickets

That's what gets my goat

[Andy FZS]

I wish mine was £222.40 grrr really anoyed now grrrrrr.

Car drivers that are too stupid to notice the huge amount of parked cars up ahead of them, then just drift over to the right as if you're not even there.
Same applies to when they undertake you even though there's a big fuck off red bus about to stop in front of them, then they get annoyed when you don't let them pull out.
Tossers.  :wall

Coat hangers !!!!

I bought some new jumpers,,,just got one out of the bag and it took me 5 minutes to get the coat hanger out of it

Arrogant suited city twats!
Had one yesterday step off the kerb in front of me because apparently (stopped for a chat  :lol ) the zig zags either side of a pedestrian crossing count as part of the crossing so you can cross anywhere within the zig zags and it counts as part of the invisible force field around these crossings  :wall . We agreed he was a complete fuckwit who should fec off to Calais to be a H & S advisor for the tossers trying to get through the chunnel.

Was it Morrissons by any chance? They're great for throwing ya coppers in, so may be payback

The complete and idiots, on the M5 northbound this afternoon between J10 and J9.  (Just in case you might identify either yourself of the wanker driving the vehicle!!!!)
First the Volvo estate towing a trailer - in the outside lane!
Second, the Ford KA, about 150yds further on - loads of pushbikes attached to the back of the car. No lights visible through the tangle of spokes etc!

Gobsmacked, but if I put a small number plate on...................

Thats pathetic! One of our 300 series LWB diesel Sprinter vans ran to 500000 miles before giving up the ghost. It was the "full power" version 5 speed box and the only trouble I ever had was a split turbo hose temporarily repaired with yards of gaffer tape. it spent most of its life in the "fast lane" in the region of the National SpeedLimit(officially anyway!) :lol [size=78%] The accountants at MB advised the company to cut costs about 17 years ago which led to  a spate of reliability/warranty issues in the early noughties.[/size]
On a separate note concerning German cars, dont ever think about getting to the water pump on certain Audis-have to strip half the engine out first! :eek

Career benefit scroungers--cnts claiming sickness benefits they are not entitled to--illegal immigrants (if i do something illegal i am punished for it)--they are rewarded with benefits-housing-free healthcare -schooling-enough money to send home so the next wave of parasites can get here and bleed my country dry of resources which my taxes have funded .ill stop there for now for fear of sounding racist (i am of mixed race my parents both worked all their lives and instilled a good work ethic into me) oh and people who judge me for saying what everyone else is thinking but are afraid to say-rant over- ill post something more light hearted in keeping with the spirit of this site another time when my piss not boiling with anger/rage

NHS consultants who are paid a fortune , then complain they have to work one weekend in five. Meanwhile Nurses and Paramedics Ambulance drivers and other healthcare workers who do more hours and are paid no where near their value.

0people who park at the pumps, dont buy fuel but go into the forcourt shop and do the weekly shop... :rolleyes

...& why is it that when all the pumps are occupied & you stop to queue behind the only car without a driver filling up (thinking that your one is already paying & will be out in a few secs), all the other drivers have finished filling, been in & paid & driven off before your one appears!? :'(. What are they doing in there?? :rolleyes.

[fazersharp]

So they have filled up and paid and back in the car and then take another feckin 5 mins programming the sat nav MOVE AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND DO IT OVER THERE !!!

Waiting to get served my first pint, which takes about 15 seconds to pour, while the bar staff are having to make someone really complicated cocktails, or a round of hot drinks, that take about half an hour to make :'(.

The stupid young bitch who cut me up at a road junction this afternoon.
I was approaching to turn right when she cut across the junction by 5 feet, still in fairness the stupid bitch didn't see me because she was busy on her mobile phone at the time.
Housing estate during the summer holidays - what could possibly go wrong with the way she drives.
