Habakure Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 So, let me get this straight, the thing that holds the golf clubs, moves by itself? How frigging lazy is that. What next, a football that moves by its self? Parcel was delivered to my neighbours (well, handed to them), because I wasn't in. . I've been in all day and no-ones knocked or left a card saying they called. My neighbour said the bloke just asked if he'd take the parcel, then got in his van and drove off.

What next, a football that moves by its self? Yep. It's not like golf clubs are heavy, less so when they're on wheels. But even so, we sell thousands of these things a year because people are just that lazy. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I remember a few years back when a group of customers actually crashed both their carts into a pond, got out of their carts and continued to play, for another 18 holes. Never bothered to call the pro shop or alert anyone, we just happened to have a ranger see it. I think I see 3, maybe 5 people actually walk a round per week. Everyone, from the 20-something douchebags to the "takes two seats for themselves crazy rich people" demands to use a golf cart. I can understand if you have a health issue or a disability, but when you look healthier than me, I would think you would not want to waste money on a cart, since you can usually out walk the bloody things. Eh, keeps me busy. Link to post Share on other sites
Thechom Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've just had a call come in to work, I spoke to him on Saturday as well, he proceeded to get all annoyed that I asked him for his details again. I take about 100 calls a day, and I'm meant to remember account details from someone I spoke to last week..... Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 So, I found the slip when I got home. But it wasn't a slip from the post office - no, for some strange reason it's GLS that delivers signed-for Royal Mail parcels over here. The Goddamn Lazy Sod responsible for delivering my parcel scribbled his phone number in such a way that the last 2 looked like a 7 (making it into a number that doesn't exist), forcing me to call the GLS helpline, then the branch office in Warsaw, then the courier, and wait an hour and a half while he merrily did his business a street away. AAAARGH. Link to post Share on other sites
johny_blaze Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hail. 20 minutes of hail storm and pouring rain and half the city was flooded thousand of cars damaged, mine included. I've got a cracked windscreen, damaged hood and roof and a broken tail light.And this was the street just outside my apartmentA couple moreAll the telephone lines of reapair shops including some in towns 150 km. from here have been busy since morning and the one I went to had more than one hundred people waiting outside. Around my office each forth car cad a broken or cracked window and there were almost none without any dents so I guess the situation isn't going to get better in the next couple of weeks.

Stupid nature. 'FireKnife' Yeah it was sunny all day and around 30 degrees C, than at about 5 PM everything went dark, than came the storm and half an hour later it was sunny again and close to 30.

Hey, it was the same here too (I even posted a photo to FB, captioned "Now, let's pour it before we snore it"), but all we got was a bit of pissy rain and then unbearable heat again. That, and mental note to self: if you need anything grounded in a circuit, make it so, and preferably through a *fruitcage*-off huge resistor, a small capacitor or a diode. My test circuit went bonkers today and only by trial and error I determined that the clock stop pin on the 4017 chip wasn't properly grounded, causing everything to go haywire.

Desolation mkII Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I spent two months in the desert in the middle of Kenyan summer, and nine in varying parts of the middle east with temperatures up to 50, without getting noticeably burnt. But two hours in my garden in the north of England... Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 It is always when you least expect it. I mean Britian, sun, these words are not meant to be in the same sentence unless the words 'lack of' is included. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 So it turns out I needed a couple of MOSFETs in my project. Good that they aren't to be used for overly large currents, so I could buy a pack of ten for three kopecks. That means I have to put the soldering on hold for a couple of days. Also, I'm sleepy and I can't stash my leftover Coke in the company fridge, because the room where they keep the fridge is locked. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Arrrggggh. Car's gearbox decided to kill itself. Not what I need. And on a slightly less important note. Towels that are too fluffy. Yes, too fluffy. They're just not absorbent and a waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I love my 12 year old half-sized non-fluffy army towel. It is rough and abrasive and dries me extremely well. Fluffy towels suck *albatross*. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I have just had one of the few moments I hate being single. They are rare but getting more frequent. Perhaps now that I am of the age where I have to look at ring fingers and not IDs I really should actually try at least one functioning relationship. Or am I insane?
