Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[manticle]

So work ask me to come in on my day off (Tuesday). No probs cause I could do with the overtime. Then yesterday ask me if I want to take today as annual leave. Don't have enough leave as it's already booking in for August so they suggest I swap my 6hours of overtime for a 10hr day off.
Don't think so, I'll just see you tomorrow and you can pay me my 6hrs double time thanks.

Sounds like you got it sussed but tell them to get fucked.
Diplomatically.

I wrap cars in vinyl graphics as part of my job

If you're getting your car wrapped or even simple decals put on the doors then, FFS CLEAN THE ******* THING. I'm so sick of getting cars that haven't been washed in years or have been 4WDing the weekend before. ******* inconsiderate fucktards

Serious question. Do they get charged extra for the cleaning?

 

[breakbeer]

Sometimes, but not very often. If so, that extra money goes into the boss' pocket who has never washed a car in his life

Bought my current vehicle in 2010. Never washed it. Where do you work? Think I need some bitchin' signage.

 

[shaunous]

Does that shit totally **** the paint like I've always imagined???

do you get paid a set $ per car or by the hour?
If its by the hour then wouldn't that extra then be covering the extra time it takes to do (and hence, make up part of your wage)

 

[breakbeer]

Price is quoted depending on the amount of vinyl used & whether it's printed or not, we have no idea how dirty the car will be when it turns up. There should be a cleaning option in the quote, but there isn't. Even if there was, I personally don't make any extra money out of it, so **** em

Vinyl wraps don't damage paint, quite the opposite actually. It protects it from stone chips, fading from the sun & things like road tar spots & is very easily removed using a heat gun

Where I live I generally drive along and my house is on the left. As I am a pathological 'reverser inner' - well,l it makes more sense and is safer to reverse in (more accurate) and drive out (safer and quicker), I pull a little out and past my driveway (always watching for and gauging any cars that may be coming along from behind me and if need be letting them go first), indicate and put into reverse, reverse in safely. The number of (insert adjective and noun here)'s who when seeing this actually speed up and fly past trying to wing me or screaming obscenities is astounding. Twice today, once just in the last half hour when picking my daughter up from her friends place. Really high levels of retribution at the moment.

Just needed to vent

Yep, they understood that I wasn't accepting that offer.

Vent away mate, that what this is about.

Thursday night footy sucks, weekend ruined by my team losing before the weekend has even started.

Blame Jesse White.

Why do I feel like it's groundhog day?

Next time, punch Ned Ryerson in the face.

Just pitched an oxygenated a vienna lager, lifting it into fridge heard a crack and felt the moulded handle crack, luckily didn't drop it. Only had the fermenter since 1987, they just don't make shit like they used to. I suppose all those years at uni with the fermenter in a box with a light on to keep it at the required 26C may have caused the plastic to fail prematurely....

 

[Bridges]

Take it back where to where you purchased it and demand a refund. Not good enough.

Of course you'll need to find your receipt...

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Yeah, sounds like you bought a faulty one.

There is probably the carbon copy of your Bankcard slider in some vault somewhere

 

[seamad]

No chance, back then a student couldn't get a bankcard unless their parents supplied one. When I graduated and had been working a couple of months I had an appointment with the bank manager to get one, and he wasn't even that keen to give one to me even with a good job ( that payed good money), how times have changed.

Ive got something I need covered if you dont mind giving me a quote.
Its about 165 cm long and kind of hourglass shaped. I'll need a zipper in the back and the finish will be gloss black. Dont worry, I'll clean it first.

Cheers.

 

[breakbeer]

Does the zipper have to be in the back?
