Friggin YouTube/FB vids that say “Watch till the end!” If you make content that isn’t crap, it will be watched to the end :/
Imagine being at a restaurant, the waiter delivers your meal “Eat every last bite!” Eff off!

In a high end restaurant I got a crap meal and politely asked the waiter to ask the chef if he did his apprenticeship at mcdonalds.
To my defence, $65 for a pasta thats frozen in the middle isnt fine dining. Even if the excuse was to be the microwave was playing up, thats not cooking.
The waiter was a good guy and did inform the chef.
The chef was not happy and took my captain obvious statement as an insult to his poor culinary skills.
Yeah, i can operate a microwave. I can also boil pasta. I can make stuff to go on the pasta. Nothing good enough to charge money for, hence why im not a chef who should have years of training and experience.
I was pretty happy with the apprenticeship at mcdonalds insult, i thought of that on the spot. But if you're paying decent money for something, you should atleast get something average if not better.

Sort of agree with you slowsnake re union achieved conditions,problem was in the late 70s to the late 90s overzealous union execs seemed to change the agenda from helping workers to destroying business through overtop demands of excessive pay for reduced working hours.Most unionists don’t seem to realise that for employers the cost of labour is about double what they pay for actual working time,taking into consideration holidays,sick leave, non productive hours etc

Another thread that was created as a bit of fun has been wrecked by the usual.

The idea of the thread by the OP was to post up what you hated and either agree or disagree. It wasn't created to carry on like tools.

slowsnake, my patience is wearing very thin. If you are going to PM me think long and hard about what you want to say - your future on AFF may depend on it.

Here is a reminder...

Why is it when someone pays for a skip bin, scumbags reckon they can put their cr#p in it.
I had someone put tyres in mine a couple of years ago, a big no no, so it becomes my problem.
Building site around the corner is chockers. Stupidly, they ordered one just before Christmas, no builders on site for 2 weeks, everyone has loaded their Christmas rubbish in it, overflowing all over the ground, TV boxes, empty packaging, paint tins bags and bags of rubbish piled high, just annoys me.

A mate of mine was working on a domestic site years back. Skip delivered on friday. Monday morning it was packed with thick black bags containing asbestos. The company had to pay for proper asbestos disposal and the skip company charged for disposal of the skip and a new replacement skip. So some lowlife pulled a proper scummy move.

Should've been easy to trace who did the asbestos removal.

It's an old thread where I first mentioned it.

And yes, looks like it only needs a few bits and pieces to make it good again.
Then sell it to some hipster/LGBTQRST for big $$$$.

I'd hate for it to go to the scrappers.

Clients/Customers who don't pay their invoices!

One newish client, a very successful IT provider, is three months behind payments. Annoying when I was told "we want it to look great".

Now, only because i was good mates with my manager at my old workplace, yes some clients would wait to the 11th hour to pay, but in the same token, the company would do the thing. I think its something to do with maximising interest in the bank account. A school mate of mine worked for a subcontractor the company i worked for used and payment was always towards the end of what was legal and near being where legal proceedings can occur.

Followed closely by price negotiators. Had one prospective client harass an existing client for my number for months because she drives past my topiary every day. I finally catch up and look at her garden, and give a price, “can you do it for $xx?” NO! You chased me, I’m doing you a favour fitting you in my schedule. If you want it cheaper, get Barry from gumtree. She caved, but it’s the principle of the thing.

Do you know any bikers?.....that works, as suggested to me by an officer with Dept Consumer Affairs Qld, not kidding, that's what he said, told him I was in Perth, he said I will send someone to pay a visit!
Got a cheque 4 weeks later for $2 grand!

He's all good, leesa. Spoke to him via text the other day after you raised the point that he was MIA. He's just taking a break from the forums for a bit.

Ask them if you can have a 2/3rd dose, because you are sitting at home for 1/3rd of the time!.....

They don't give you much time when vaccine supplies can be on the short list in certain areas.

Websites that proudly proclaim "FREE SHIPPING" in bold red lettering at the top of each page, then when you proceed to the checkout and enter your address, they add a $33.50 shipping fee because I'm in another state.

Fine, I understand that it costs extra to send something further, but don't falsely advertise something that doesn't apply to all customers. Needless to say, I went elsewhere to spend my $300!

do they have social media page? if your game post your comments and what the preverbal fly.
Would that be also classified as false advertising...

It's misleading. If it had a Ts & Cs apply you can be informed and read them.
