Monster Zero Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 The Post Office.Today I queued for 20 minutes to redirect my mail, armed with 2 pieces of ID for both myself and my other half, as per the requirements stated on the form. The woman behind the counter refused to process my application because my ID was not from the old address. When I pointed out that this was not a requirement according to the guidance, the response was "Well you are right, it's not what it says in the guidance leaflet, but we can't do it regardless as we have to have ID from the old address. You will have to bring it up with Royal Mail".My other half also tried to sort out a passport renewal in a Post Office this morning, the form states that for a renewal, only you yourself have to sign the form and provide 2 current photos, no counter signature is required unless your appearance has changed drastically. Woman at Post Office refused to process the form as it had not been counter-signed and photos have not been signed, neither of which is required in this instance. Efforts to point out that everything that was required had been done as per the guidance notes and as clearly stated on the form itself were met with a point-blank refusal to take it and the woman "Didn't have time to read the form" when requested to do so.So basically, if you need anything done in a Post Office, go in with low expectations, as the staff can apparently just make up their own rules as to what is required. You know the old joke about Postal Workers always being the ones who go batshit and start killing folk, it's a wonder it's not in reverse.

You'd be walky around with pissy hands for the rest of the night though, which is a bit of a bastard...Err, I didn't really think that one through.

Murrr Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Old biddies have been getting on my nerves recently.I was in a tramp goods distribution station t'other day (let's call it "Lidl") to acquire some humorously-monikered perishables on the way back to Westhill. Much to my dismay, I was unable to locate their supply of "Snacky Cracky" potato crisps, although there did seem to be a sizeable selection of another personal favourite, "Crusti Croc".Anyway, I had done my shopping and was at the checkout, offloading my goods to the conveyor belt. At a stage of not even half-way through transferring the goods, the battle-scarred fooster behind me started to put her goods on the belt, right next to mine! I looked at her with a grimaced and somewhat startled look, but she just kept her head down, and carried on wth her task. At which point, I reached for the "goods/owner seperation divider" (what are they called anyway?) and summoned the power of a thousand Thorrs as I slammed it down between my bread, and her 10 denyer tights. That got her attention, and she noted my angry facial arrangement and muttered something about "having no respect". You've been on this Earth for fifty years long at me, you miserable old dried-up teabag, surely you've mastered the art of supermarket conveyor belt arranging by now?!I didn't even get a kiss out of it, miserable old battle-axe.

Also I buy stuff for myself cause I do not have the forementioned people to care for or to fund etcThen make you out to be a right alchy cause you have a drink at the weekend grrr I only really drink on Fridays!!

Just because I'm pushing 34, does not mean I am desperate to get married and be saddled with a kid or two. Fine just as is, ta. Don't need to fulfil social expectations to justify my life.

Soda Jerk Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 My classic broke very quickly and they refused to fix it aswell. not bought another one, don't intend to.Refused? Is it not under warranty? I paid a bit extra for an extended warranty, so if it chokes, they better fix it!Hate Apple. When the new Apple store opens in this new shopping centre, I'm going to pop down and load up gross porn on every MacBook and Iphone. Ones about shitting and stuff.

ashhh Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 you gave up too easily. you should have kicked off until they were sick of your voice/letters/emails and just gave in. how old was it? if it was still within warranty there is no way i would allow them to refuse me. no way.i had a first gen ipod nano for almost 4 years without any issues at all. it has now been passed onto my little brother because i got an ipod touch for my birthday. hope it's as resiliant as the nano!
