Instead of just emailing or calling customer service like a normal person, so the rest of the world doesn't have to watch the display.

****ing Yelp, too. Some of the people on there make me want to jab ice picks in my eyes.

**** it, social media in general. What started off as a potentially good idea has just given a voice and a platform to all the whiny, entitled, self-absorbed, 'everyone deserves a prize and I'm special so listen to me' cockwombles that we used to just tell to **** off when we were growing up.

Wot, like British Expats?

It could have been the SIX pound Katz's pastrami they sent ahead.

This is a discussion forum. I don't know if it necessarily counts as the same thing.

I still stand by my first statement. People who complain on arsebook pages or twatter feeds are cockwombles and attention whores of the highest order.

Town Hall.

Annoyingly, town beach pass goes on sale today. Need to buy it if you want to register kids for swimming lessons....there are only a limited number of passes, a good chunk, but they can/do sell out.

You have to buy one in person, from the town hall.

You can't register kids for swimming lessons till the 4th.

You also can't buy a new town dump pass till the 15th, which again, has to be done in person.

The office is closed during lunch, for lunch...It also closes at 4:30pm.

Stupidly enough, you can and have to, register online if you want to sign up for any of the other town rec sport/summer activities and pay online, with "convenience" surchange.

So why the shit can they not just mail out the dump pass etc :/
