Pet Peeves

If you saw those 2 incidents imagine the carnage he gets himself into besides.

And why do they put sofas in corridors of hotels? Who's going to use them?

I saw a lad accidentally fall head first over a banister on a set of stairs, onto the stone floor from about 1 and a half flights up. His head landed on a sofa, the rest of him slumped onto the ground. That sofa saved his life   

3 years later I saw the same lad accidentally tumble off a cliff and land in a heap of rocks below. He's still alive and works on a building site operating heavy machinery.

Happens once:booze.
Happens again: Undiagnosed Dyspraxia😂

One time he crashed into a parked car and wrote it off, as well as his own car and another parked car at the same time. I think he wrote off 7 cars in his first few years driving

Well if we're talking about selling things, the same lad walked into a strip club in London when he was absolutely rubber ducky'd and left his bank card behind the counter. He woke up the next day to find -£2000 worth of transactions on his bank statement, didn't even get the ride

So what's the deal with this guy? Is it just one of those lads who gets real messy when drunk and hits it too hard every time? Or is he a bit of a moron in general lol?

[Giggles]

He got hit by a car when he was 12, and it seems that it took another 12 years for the retardation to set in 

But fast forward another 12 years and now he has a missus and a kid and they're both still alive, and he operates heavy machinery for a living and hasn't killed anybody yet. It seems that the curse has left but the memories remain.
He fell asleep under the sun when we were queuing up for pit passes for Metallica in the RDS in 2006, we drew a cock on his face with sun screen

Does that actually work?

Sinuses are killing me today, whatever sparked it off. Annoying.

Tradesmen who fail to turn up at the agreed time giving fuck all notification that they can't make it, I've no problem with schedules changing as jobs can drag on longer then expected, but when you're supposed to be there first thing in the morning there's no fucking excuse for not notifying as you would have known from the evening before so you would have had plenty of time to send a text/whatsapp/fucking messenger pigeon/phonecall, I'll tell you what it is, getting jobs too handy as there is limited availability so they can pick and choose and take the piss.

Actually we're talking about basic manners here really!

This is a particular peeve of mine.

You're kept waiting by them to turn up to look at/price the job, then you have to chase them for a quote, when it's all agreed they may or may not appear and finally it's a fucking crap shoot as to whether they'll do it properly. And all the while you have to maintain a jovial attitude -

"How's it going? Yeah, this is Stout again - yeah, you said you'd be on-site today first thing and it's now eh... tea-time... Ah sure look I know how it is... DEFINITELY next Tuesday yeah? OK, I'll call you Monday to remin.... Oh OK, you'll DEFINITELY remember yeah? It's just... hello... hello?"

Here's a horror-show to make you feel better though; My neighbours had an ordeal with the crew who did a big job on their house last year. Priced it at €190k - like I say, it was a big job - retrofit, re-wire, some structural but no expansion of the footprint. They were scheduled in for April to be done by November latest (keys back and house in turnkey condition).

Price went "significantly north" of €200k about 6 weeks before the start date - "materials, labour etc. is more expensive". A fair chunk of money but the neighbours had come that far so said they'd have to take it on. Moved out of their house in March - back in with parents/in-laws.

Builders still hadn't turned up by late May. So my neighbour rang them, the builder snapped on her and said "I have plenty of other work on so you can either wait or shag off and get someone else." I know what my answer would have been but she persisted.

Work started... sort of. The builders were there - a lot of Ukrainian lads, then they weren't or they would turn up at 10pm to start work. I had to go around a few times and tell them to pack it in. Finally had to complain to the neighbours who had a word with the building contractor whose response was "Do you want it done or not?!"

They finally got their keys back Christmas week - a load of stuff undone and, worse, shoddily done. Myself and another neighbour pitched in to give them a hand doing the flooring. I had to draft in the brother to hang their doors for them. He said to me after;

"If my apprentice did the skirting and picture rails like that in there, I'd have booted his hole."

Why THE FUCK can't Ticketmaster and the rest of these cunts tell you how much a gig ticket is going to cost BEFORE the show goes on sale?

Even better, I've just gotten an email saying my account is restricted due to "suspicious activity" despite not having even been on there since buying Rotting Christ tickets weeks ago
