minor things that make you fume



Online shopping orders that get “picked” incorrectly.
Ordered some cosmetics for the wife...just a moisturiser that she likes and said she would like a bottle for Xmas.
It arrived a couple of days ago, but I only opened the parcel today to wrap the item and pop it under the tree.
Wrong bleeding item in the parcel....correct item shown on the printout they stuck inside the box though.
Not only do I not have the pressie for the wife, but I now have to return a tube of some sort of body wash that wasn’t ordered.
And yes.....I should have opened the parcel and checked it’s couple of days ago.

Having to work on Christmas Day

Back in the eighties I worked for a motoring organisation call centre and if we were scheduled to work on the 25th it was too bad. It used to be a laugh though because some of us would cook a big meal in the canteen and we could bring in drink.
Those with kids would usually get a swap of shift with others. It was OK.

I worked loads of Christmas’s on nights for years ( pre kids ) ,

Treble time for doing virtually nothing, except eat and drink, plus the boss at the time used to get bladdered in his offyce with one of the other bosses, with strict instructions “ unless there’s an earthquake, we’re not to be disturbed “.

Good times.

It’s crazy isn’t it.
I ordered a Bluetooth speaker set for our son. Ok, I left it a little late but ordered from website that said it was in stock and available for next working day delivery. That would have got it to me last Thursday.
Got an email from them after placing the order, asking me to call their office to arrange delivery. I called....and was told that their supplier had now closed for Xmas and the earliest delivery would be 9th January!! Three weeks from date of order!
Needless to say, I cancelled the order.
