Furniture Shopping - bloody loathe it with a passion (It took 16+ visits to furniture shops over a 3 month period before we actually managed to order a new 3-piece sofa suite). Today we started the quest for a new dining table and chairs.
Fuck me, but some Furniture shop salesman are something else. This clown wouldn't let us just look around but kept following us around pointing the bleeding obvious such as the table we were looking at was solid Oak. Which was fuckin surprising as the big sign on the table said exactly that.
But his piece-de-resistance was, I kid you not, telling us that "it was important to consider normal and extended sizes of tables, particularly if you are thinking of buying an extending table"
Yeah, Like I'd never have thought of that you fluffybunny.
Managed to persuade my folks to buy us a table as a housewarming gift.
Getting the measurements and looking online was actually quite enjoyable. We’re happy with our purchase.
Fuck actually going and talking to people face to face!
That there is actually peak Grumpy Old Man. This thread can now be closed.*
**except that some grumpy old bastard would likely complain.

You have already shown patience at a level above and beyond. Go back and chin the fluffybunny.
I normally leave that sort of thing to Mrs Meldrew
EDIT: Interesting to note that when I quoted your post with the word "fluffybunny" in it, it up with the anglo-saxon translation in the edit panel. Smart coding by @Kirwan & @Duluth .....?

I think that's part of the software, so it filters it in the display areas. Not surprised it's unfiltered in edit mode.

I am grumpy with my new neighbours on two fronts.
One, they have a German Shepherd that every time they are out it barks like mad and jumps at the fence like it wants to eat us. I was hoping the bloody thing would be used to us by now but it's been a month so I am not sure it is going to. It's at the stage where we feel we can't go outside in our own yard because of the bloody thing.
Two, and I might be being petty because I am pissed about the dog, but the neighbours put their rubbish bins in front of our house. I'd understand if there was no room outside their house for them but there is. And to piss me off even more they leave them out for days on end. Would the bins annoy anyone else or and I being a grumpy old man?
Take the bins away and tell Council about the dog

Sometimes it pays just to suck it up and keep quiet.
Depends on the activity and how much you're being paid, I guess.

I was referring to complaining about Meat being cooked but I like how your mind works

Ordered an expensive camera last Friday and was shipped via Toll. Get an update from Toll yesterday saying the parcel was delivered. Strange as I never got the parcel, contact Toll and they say left on doorstep. Check the house CCTV and it never camera to my place. So, it has been dropped off somewhere just not my place.
Contact Toll and ask for local depot number so I can sort out and get told they can't give me any info and their internal team will look into it and may get back to me in 24 hours.
Not fucken happy and very frustrated.

You can cut and paste it into the Dad jokes thread and I won’t even be mad.
