Pet Peeves

[Trev]

Currys can get fucked. Got a fridge from there less than two years ago and it's already knackered. Any mails to their customer service are just met with reply bots saying "sorry, it's outside our 12 month warranty", despite being covered under the consumer protection act

So now I have to go through the hassle of the small claims court to try and get it sorted. Cunts.

The Currys in Galway would turn a Monk into a mass murderer.

Never has a more cuntish grouping of staff been assembled. I get it, retail is fucking awful and I've done my time... but fucking hell they're on another level of fucking useless.

Went in there before looking to buy a new fridge. Asked a guy in the fridge section. He says "the guy who does that is on lunch" and before I have a chance to reply he just turns and walks away. I've stopped ordering for Click and Collect to avoid them at all costs.

Smyth's pulled something similar (they claimed the PS5 only had a 28 day warranty - fuck off lads).

So I dragged their customer service over the "okay, why does this information say otherwise" coals with all the relevant links. They eventually relented.

I'd honestly go in with the relevant info printed, asked them why this says two years and the first sniff of them not playing ball, escalate it.

I had that with a telly and they tried the same thing but when I quoted a few bits at them they had no choice but to sort it. They wouldn't replace it though, they'd only fix it

Not so much a peeve as a general sadness, really, over kids abandoning looking human for the sake of... I don't fucking know. I had to travel to England and back over the last week, the amount of young ones with the botox and fake teeth thing going on was fucking depressing. I don't get the appeal of looking lumpy and swollen like you were badly stung by wasps. Most of them look like they're in pain. Then, the creepy blinding whiteness of perfectly uniform and clearly fake teeth and the obligatory shit tattoos to adhere this bizarre aesthetic trend which, teeth at least, will require a lifetime of engineering maintenance. I am generally sheltered from this shit in my day-to-day life so it's quite jarring to see how popular this bizarre mutilation has become among fucking kids.

The scrawny chicks with botox face all look the same and it's not pretty to look at. It's unhealthy and severe looking, not youthful and attractive. It has a ring of Brave New World about it.

[Eoin McLove]

The gimongous ceramic teeth just looks comical    are people's heads supposed to grow around them or something?

[Bürggermeister]

They're utterly surreal when you see them combined with bulbous and misshapen lips, this effect of a giant mouth which doesn't fit on the head it's attached to.

And the hair scraped back off the emaciated, balloon forehead for added heroin chic.

The cost of house insurance this year is a fukin disgrace

[Carnage]

Rodding the chimney (not a euphemism). Came home on Saturday night to a house full of smoke, the brother said something fell out of the fire (he was in a different room) but I reckon it was a chinney fire from the smell and amount of soot on the ground, plus the chimney was blocked when I tried to light a fire the following day. Took a bit of soot out alright, not much because I only went a couple of rids up and don't have proper brushes, just the head to clear drains. I'll burn some kindling in a bit to see if there's a draw on it now.

Pain in the arse anyway.

Fireworks... either set them off at midnight or not at all...

BlackPlayer. I've used it for years and have been very happy with it but the latest update has btoken the gapless playback feature and rendered it essentially unusable. No help from the developer other than a vague 'switch decoders' comment (it doesn't work). Raging.

Yes pain the fucking hole. I was in my parents house on NYE and had to go back to my own house at 5 past 12 to check it cause the fireworks set the alarm off. Me smoked out of my brains having to walk down past loads of pubs at possibly the busiest time of the year it was a nightmare on top of constantly hearing shouting voices off in the distance. Before that I spent the previous 10 mins trying to calm one of the dogs down who is terrified of loud noises.

And no chance of the guards enforcing the actual law(s) in the first place?
