lmao, that's funny. We had a guy turn up yesterday morning and duck under the shutter with the other staff. Apparently someone had told him to come for a trial day with us, but neither us not the area manager know anything about it and he had already been for a trial day at one of our other stores.

Flippn Amazon

Waiting for my new dashcam to arrive, i get a message saying it's been sent back to sender as it was damaged in transit.
Now have to wait for my refund then order it again. Annoyed.

[Rocket Spud]

^ I've noticed an increase in battered parcels recently .... xmas, eh

[Schmosby]

I had that happen to me with Amazon, first one never arrived as damaged, second time they sent me the wrong item, so was third time lucky.

Yeah not that i want it delivered damaged.
Just hope i dont have an accident while waiting for it to arrive

[Schmosby]

I don't believe it's true anyway, quite a few times they have not delivered claiming we were not at home, but we are a shop open 9-6 and the times they claimed we were out were during opening hours.

[Schmosby]

I feel like I should put up my curtain rail since I didn't bother going to work.

A lot of parcels turn up to the depots damaged because the sender is trying to save money by using crap packaging. I***8217;ve never had an issue with amazon though.

Just don***8217;t complain about the driver or you may find more parcels turning up damaged....

yes thats true.

I've seen so many badly wrapped parcels, one was a bottle of wine just wrapped up in paper! It was leaking somehow and i had to deliver it ,luckily recipient wasnt at home so i carded it.
They shouldve at least used bubble wrap or put it in a box!

[Schmosby]

For sure they do, we very often get mobile phones returned in a non padded envelopes via 2nd class untracked post, then they kick up a fuss when their item never arrives or arrives damaged voiding their warranty. Numpties.

I'm actually amazed at just how many of these phones do turn up and are undamaged, RM are pretty good in that respect.

I just watched a film, the boy downstairs, that was a waste of 86 minutes of my life.

[Schmosby]

I'm really enjoying this new negative newbs. Did miggs do this to you?

[newbs16]

Haha, he can't take the credit for that today

Film...that old chestnut, eh, I've told you about that peeping tom behaviour

Sounds crap. Lol you haven't seen Star Wars but you'll watch that toot

[slrrrrp]

When people say "I can't imagine such and such," they don't literally mean they can't imagine it, they mean they can't believe what they might imagine would actually happen. And, as it's not literal, this "I can't imagine" is itself imaginary - "I'm imagining that I can't imagine this thing that I've just imagined."

Um, this seemed to make sense before I typed it out.

^ Are you okay?

[newbs16]

This sore throat is getting on my nerves.

[Professor Willow]

I really don't understand anxiety (along with the rest of the world)
After several days of little or no anxiety and going out to a few places with no real issues I'm going to work this morning like a bag of nerves.
I spend a lot more time here than I do anywhere else so why the anxiety??

[newbs16]

^ I get this too, sometimes I do things without any anxiety and other days I feel incredibly anxious, I can't work out why.

[slrrrrp]

There's something a bit Darth Vadery about this fryer

^ Can we get this talk moved into the basement now (mods?), it's been ongoing for a few days!

No offence to the discussionists.

[Dougella]

^ Sorry! It is a bit more of a basement type discussion.

It's on the to do list Spud

[Rocket Spud]

Cheers, Tink!

[Schmosby]

@spud
It's just a discussion, there is no animosity here between us, in case you are thinking that, Dougella is ace, we are just debating

I'm happy to agree to disagree on this one too.

[Indigo_]

^ I think it's more the fact that this is a general Lounge thread for people to post in and not for an ongoing discussion on one particular topic.

[Dougella]

^^ Aw, thanks

Turned my bedside lamp on to get out of bed when a horrible daddylonglegs sprang up from inside it!!!!
I hate these things.
Christ have I been sleeping next to him all night ?!!
Managed to catch it in a glass and put outside

The closest thing I've found to that is a book hangover:

[Bertignac]

^'book hangover' absolutely brilliant expression!

The parents in my school are having a do. I'm sh!t scared. To go, or not to go. I normally don't go, but since I'm trying to do things differently this year...
