Things that annoy you - the official thread

Mine's a bit of a dick, but then he never bothers me if the rent gets paid. Haven't spoken to him since mid-November.

I would never rent again. Too little control.

I know. Bunch of banana splits. Send a text telling him I don't want someone moving my stuff and I just get told that it's too late as he's already done the work. The strawberry float?

That's actually illegal, isn't it? Landlords have to give you 24 hours notice to have someone enter the property, unless it's an emergency. The fact that the workman he chose couldn't do it at a later date is not an excuse. That's his problem. Either your landlord doesn't know what he's doing or he's abusing your generosity.

In a way, but it's a civil matter not a criminal one. If your landlord does this you have to go to the civil courts and get some kind of order, then if he breaks that it's a criminal matter. As I'm moving out in 3 weeks it's not worth the effort.

The work to "fix" the damp seems to have been to just scrub the bathroom ceiling with bleach. I do this anyway as the mould always builds up due to inadequate ventilation and no heaters in the whole place. No work to the wallpaper in other rooms hanging off or the massive damp patch in the living room

It's just going to come back.

That's it. I couldn't think of the proper term so just went with "illegal".

As you say, you're moving out, so not worth bothering with.

I moved out of my house in December and am getting my own flat. So strawberry floating glad to be out of the clutches of landlords / agents who either try to abuse your generosity or don't have a clue what they're doing and blame their failings on you.

When we were moving out the agent contacted us about viewings. He arranged a viewing without our consent and said "if I don't hear from you, I'll assume it's okay". We put him straight. Permitted entry doesn't work via assumed consent.

Our last one (as Banjo knows ) was a crazy strawberry floating bitch.

You forgot to mention really strawberry floating stupid. No grasp of the law or basic reality, I'm glad there was a door between us otherwise I would have been laughing in her face the entire time.

It just took me over half an hour or updates and entering details and passing security checks to get to 4oD on my xbox. "To view on demand content you must upgrade to xbox live gold". Seriously? A free strawberry floating streaming service? When did that happen?

strawberry float this gooseberry fool. Console gaming everyone.

That's Microsoft being a bunch of gits, I gave up on the Xbox ages ago and have been sticking with Sony. They haven't strawberry floated me over yet and have a much better subscription service if you want it.

Websites that spread a list (like a top 10 for example) over separate pages, making you click through for each one.

Oh that does my head it To make it worse the formatting usually means the 'next page' buttons are at different heights meaning the layout keeps jumping around.

[Green Gecko]

I'm pretty sure the only reason they do that is so that their time on site looks better to advertisers and lowers bounce rate. It's stupid.

No wait it's for more ad impressions .

[Lagamorph]

New page means new ads.
It's all about ad revenue.

Unless you use adblock plus

Never seen that before but strawberry floating hell it's bad. Is it on one of those povvo channels like ITV?

[Corazon de Leon]

I think I saw it on SSN the other day. One and only time as well, strawberry floating awful shite.

[jamcc]

That advert is nowhere near as bad as the Hive LOL-RANDUM wankery.

Troubleshooting assignment question. Need to get 100% complete but on 93% and staring at the running-configs on the three routers and I can't see anything wrong. Everything is conneceted which is what the questions asks for as well. Damnit.
