Official "Have a Moan" Thread.

I'll start. :smilie4:

Today I'm moaning about the fact that I almost ran out of petrol this morning. I was basically running on fumes, and thought I could just about make it to the Esso station on the outside of town. When I got there, it was closed for some reason, so I had to try and dash for the service station on the A23. Luckily I just about made it, but I thought I was going to grind to a halt at any time.

I managed to put 43 litres into a 40 litre tank, that's how empty I was :blink:

It also meant I was 40 minutes late for work. Fucking Esso, why are they so unreliable?




Who's next? :unsure:

I was stuck between two old people in an aisle in a supermarket this morning.

my moan > your decadent consumerist polluting cash wasting obesity inflicting moan

Today I'm moaning about... The hole in the wall: Cash machines

About a week ago, i needed to withdraw some cash from my local Tesco Express, it's only a two minute walk away from my house, so when i put my card into the machine to withdraw some cash it spat it out and a message came up on the screen, it said "Card Misread Please try again" so i tried again but the same thing happened again so i had to walk about a mile to the next one that does'nt charge one pound fifty just to make a withdrawal.

now ive noticed people withdrawing money from the "card misread please try again" machine, but it still tells me "card misread please try again" so what should i do? do i need to order a new one? or is there a special trick to getting my money out of it. :(

It might be just your particular bank the machine has trouble with. I had a similar thing happen here where all the machines on the highstreet lost their connection to my bank. Every other bank was fine....

Giro day can be so hard sometimes :(

I've got this feeling somethings going to horribly wrong today..and its stressing me out.

I also got my dick caught in my zipper yesterday and today I was feeling the after effects in the shower when the soap hit it.

I have the flu and had to clean up my own puke. :sick: Unfortunately it was the projectile kind and I had a ten foot radius of hallway and bedroom carpet, bathroom tile, and doors/walls to do. <_<

:shuriken:

You're always ill :dabs:

I also have to call CitiFinancial because, despite being paid off in full three and a half weeks ago, the bloody bastards still keep calling me every fucking day. I'm going to try to cockpunch them through the phone.

:shuriken:

My brie wasn't left out long enough so it wasn't really soft enough to enjoy properly.

The after dinner cheeseboard can be such a bind sometimes.

That happened to me this sunday. Weird :unsure:

Oh right, that makes sence.

Sorry for doubting you.

It was a sunday it happened to me on too...

Can a banker tell us whether something special goes on on a sunday with cash machines?

Nah coz it wasn't empty, there was just no communication between the machines in a whole street and my particular bank. Was really annoying as I was off to the pub to watch football and time was ticking...

That's not how it works.


Shit, wrong account again.

If I start moaning, I'll probably never stop.

Actually, apart from my car dying, working too much, and having to fill out pages and pages of forms for immigration I don't really have anything to moan about. Life is pretty damn good. :)

sorry but this is'nt the "Life is pretty damn good" thread.

It was weird here, first I tried the cash machine in my home town (if I'm still allowed to call it that, even tho' I don't actually live there anymore :unsure: ), then I travelled about 20 miles (to the city where I currently live), tried a couple of machines there, and got the same error(s).

And they did the same thing(s) in both places: first, I got a message saying that my current (attempted) withdrawal was too large, and that I was only allowed to get a k at once. Then, as I tried again, I got a message saying that the machine couldn't connect to my bank.

:blink:

Naturally, I made my mum pay for my new TV, so everybody won.

Cash machines never seem to want to give me money :(

The little people who live in cash machines have Sunday orf to chat in interweb porn forums.

Aparently I have to go to work at 9 tommorow morning, instead of 12 as per usual because we arn't selling enough fucking extended warrantys. So now we have to do training.

The only problem is...I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF WE DONT SELL WARRANTYS OR NOT. I got bitched at today because:

A) I didnt donate to the special olympics for the dress down day EVEN THOUGH I donated like 15$ the day before.

B) Im not going to the christmas party (WHICH IS ON NOVEMBER 25TH???). Why my boss would expect me to WANT to hang out with her, and the other 40 year old single ugly pothead loosers on my saturday night is beyond me. I only like 2 people at my work..and they arnt going(because they dont want to hang out with their bosses either) so FUCK THEM.

Now I'm not going to be able to finish my fucking homework.

Also, I did nothing on my saturday night AND I had a ride too. So im in a pissy mood. I'm also wondering where the fuck my girlfriend is because I havnt talked to her in 2 days.

Tell the lazy-ass immigrant to fill out his own forms, fix your bloody car, and service you properly.

Now. :angry:

Somewhat true, Skiz, though I don't think the fucking they give the rest of us qualifies as "proper service", and, in any case, it isn't what I was talking about relative to Nikki.

My mini-rant was tailored very specifically to her immigrant.

Being that I'm his spouse, I gotta fill out forms too. My car is gonna cost more to fix than just going out and buying something else and it was only supposed to last a year or so until I could afford something better. I think the guy who safetied it was a bit on the shady side, cause most of the problems with it have been there since day one, and every time I took it in, he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Either that or he's just a moron. So I'm looking for another car, in the meantime I'm driving my dad's (which Jon likes cause it's got all kinds of little gadgets). So far as servicing me properly, he does a splendid job. :wub:

Well, now.

That is a very pleasant surprise, I must say.

Jonno has improved his lot greatly.

Heartfelt congratulations to you both; may I break the news with a dedicated thread at all (at all). :)

You have esso in the UK? :O

I hate esso. Im a new driver so it's not like i've filled up that many times so i've only ever gone to shell and esso.
At esso first of all the screen thingy was busted so i couldnt read what it said to do fast-pay so i had to go inside to pay.:dry:
Second the pumps are fckin slow! It took me like 10 minutes to pump $60 worth of gas. Only takes about 2 mins at shell.:dry:

:lol: Not yet!! I won't be changing my nickname to NikkiR for at least a little while yet. ;) We swore out an oath of common law status last week for immigration purposes, so I'm officially his spouse now.

Congratulations to both of you. :D

An oath's an oath. :yup:

Shall I finally give up all hope now. :cry:

Then, as before, congratulations, luck, and hopefully much happiness will be yours.

My best to Jonno, and coincidental thoughts over how well-off my own country would be if it's immigration policy required such an effort as the one you two are undertaking.

Is causes real people to stand up and be counted, and that's a good thing, I think. :)

JP-buck-up, laddie...your Missus is obviously very indulgent, but I doubt she'd have gone that far. :noes:
