Rant Thread!

[DJCliffy]

Hey guys, I've been thinking this site needs a rant thread. Somewhere where you can bitch and moan about anything (Within reason) that gets on your wick, We'll call it internet therapy

I'll start,

The thing that gets right on my nerves is late mail, As you've seen from my other posts I fucking hate Royal mail! They really are useless cunts! They moan and moan and moan about being paid more while being shit at their jobs then they have the cheek to go on strike!!! And while on strike they moan some more, The bosses relent and give them a slight payrise but does this bring an increase in service? does it fuck they're even shitter! It's not too much to ask is it that i want my mail on time, unopened and in good condition but no they insist on being absolute cunts and fucking around with it. Royal Mail can go fuck themsleves!!!

I actually feel a bit better now! Someone else have a go!

Royal Mail are proper shit. Stuff doesn't turn up or it turns up very late. Plus I'm usually not in when they deliver and I have to try and make it down to the sorting office on a saturday morning 9pm - 12 noon, to stand in a HUGE cue and then get treated like some sort of c**t when they look for 30seconds and come back empty handed. They treat me as if it's somehow my fault.

It wouldn't be so bad if most places gave you an option to choose which delivery company you want to use but many force you to use royal mail.

When they had morning and afternoon delivery it was sweet because I used to be in for the early morning post. Also the opening times of the sorting office have reduced so I now can't pick stuff up after 5pm as I'm at work and they have shut.

They moan and moan and moan about being paid more while being shit at their jobs then they have the cheek to go on strike!!!

In the defence of the majority of posties it's not their fault that Royal Mail is crap, it's the management of David Burden and the likes.... although I think he has managed to save a lot of money.

having worked for royal mail, i can see why many of the staff seemed pissed off all the time and if you knew why they were going on strike, i think you would support them too: imagine getting to work and it not being a very busy day so your employer laid half of you off that day... and that could happen on any day and as often as your employer chose

[SD]

Where I live the postmen have a habit of opening mail, If it looks like a birthday card you can garuntee it will have been opened to check if theres any money in it.

I have had so many cards sent over the years (my family is in Brighton) and had £20 notes taken out of them!

I used to work for RM too i ain't got a major problem with posties, it's all the fucking targets and bullshit that pisses me off. I think someone seriously needs to kick RM up the arse and sort em out!

Cunttish ain't it! Usually tho it's the causal workers that do the thieving, at least when i worked for em anyway! Once i found an envelope with a fair bit of money in it but i handed it straight to my line manager. good thing as well cos RM has it's own internal OB and they had planted it there and were watching the area it was on! Bit suspect tho cos it was an unmarked envelope!

I had a similar thing bout 2 years ago, made a check on sunday wit no money in my acount for £14 (for a munchies pizza lol) thinkin they wont cash it till 2moro anyway, 1st thing in the morning put £20 in the acount then week later the pizza place wings up sayin it bounced so went n gave them another £20 to cover it, bank then wrote to me month later sayin id been charged the money plus £20 bounce fee plus £20 unautharised overdraft fee & every month from then the charge doubled till it went to about £500!! bloody expensive pizza! did refuse to pay it though n after a few angry letters they took the fees away

yeah i sent them a letter kapwning them ..so im hoping they waver the charges for me .. but i have done that once b4 so i dunno .. i spent all day writing the letter tho so i should have them bang to rights .. started working out the %ages of the interest and stuff .. for the inital charge it was like over 431% and i just started saying how exesive it was ..and told them how i am beond belief that they can justify a £100 total charge for a £13 direct debit ... i think they got no choise to give it back tbh ..i hope any way

Bus drivers!! why are the always so rude. I was told to piss off as i did not have correct change! Or they drive like maniacs so you fly half way down the bus and nearly break your neck or drive at about 5mph when all you want to do is to get where you want t go.

[DJCliffy]

Yeah round here we got some stupid bus drivers! I like to pay them all in 5p's just to annoy the fuck out of em!

Have ya? that ain't good! When you feel like that it's time to have a break off the gear mate! That's what i'm doing this month, i ain't touching nothing!

Something that annoys me and i'm sure you lot as well is foreign call centers. Now i ain't being a racist or a bigot or whatever the PC brigade would call me. But when i need to phone up a company when i need help and i get connected to someone who cannot speak a word of english it annoys the fuck out of me. last year i was having money troubles and a certain bank who shall remain nameless as they are cunts (Halifax) kept ringing me up about 6times a day and every single one of em was from a foreign call center and i couldn't understand them at all, considering this was very important i found this to be quite cuntish! When i told the bank this they implied that i was a racist!!!! Un-fucking-believable!

People, don't listen to that man off the adverts, halifax are evil wankers who'll fuck your lives up if you owe em money!!!

I once worked with an old Indian chap who lived in Slough.

he was trying to sort out his car insurance and told a call centre operator

"stop putting on daft fake American accent, I know what (Indian) village you and your family are from because my mum is from there.." at least speak Indian English and we might understand one another."

On either side of the desk was a white guy and a Pakistani (they all worked in the same team) listening to all this going on and they were both pissing themselves laughing...

People, don't listen to that man off the adverts, halifax are evil wankers who'll fuck your lives up if you owe em money!!!

IMO its more racist palming off shitty jobs like debt collection overseas

yeah i know what you meen .. i rang up ntl to get my broad band fixed a while back .. and the first woman i spoke to was very helpfull asian woman .. alltho she couldn't fix my problem i could understand her and that was fine .. after doing what she said and phoneing back in about 10 minits to finish off fixing my problem i got through to an asian guy who could hardly speak a work of english ..and was absolutly no help ..even as i knew by this point what was wrong as the other woman had explained it to me .. i just had to phone them back to finishesh off getting it fixed from there end ... ..i ended up having to try and explain to the fooking guy what i needed him to do in order to fix it ... and it took ages for summing that should of taken like 2 mins ... it's not rasism .. not even close ... if that asian guy had a problem with his internet and i worked for the asian vertion of ntl ..we would of had exacly the same problems ..and his net would not of been fixed as easily as it could/should of been .... doesn't make him a rasist for not understanding me any less/more than it does you or me understanding some one that can't speak english ... at the end of the day the companys want to have the smallest costs for them posible ... eg. cheep labor ... and will try and protect this so called "right" of theres by any means feasable ..like blaming it on you ..or some one else ..all i can say is gready cunts tbh ... i meen if any one is being racist its the companys that use over seas people to work for them because of cost cutting mesures ..as there using them for personal gain due to the differances between english peoples wages and theres ... now thats racial persicution if you ask me ...

if that asian guy had a problem with his internet and i worked for the asian vertion of ntl ..we would of had exacly the same problems ..and his net would not of been fixed as easily as it could/should of been ....

customer service with telcos is just as bad if not worse out there, except what normally happens is the Asian chap just rings his brother instead who works in IT and gets him to fix the problem instead

you may of course think "why can't we do it here?", well we can but our greedy companies keep dumbing down and outsourcing so less and less youths want to learn about computers prepared to other nations..

if you think about it it also means a lot of people (particularly women) are having to go out in to dodgy bits of town to work in the middle of the night because of the time difference.

Exactly i was being hounded by em for about a solid month, on average 5-6 calls a day even had one at 9.30 at night! I went fucking mental with Halifax and tried to take em to court, even tho i owed em money i tried to have em done for harrasment the threat of court actually made em leave me alone while i got my shit sorted! I fucking hate banks! they sucker you in with a load of bullshit and then you're fucked! I wish i knew this when i was younger i'm paying for it now!
