Did he charge you?
 
Took a Dell laptop to have a damaged screen replaced. Damn repair guys took out my memory and put in theirs. Not only did it not match but one module was faulty. Luckily I had taken a photo of the memory sockets which showed the make of memory fitted. After a bit of an argument I got it back

Seems every single person is on the take. Neighbour pushed the button to open her garage door in too hard and the switch got stuck, so the motor would not start. The repairer she called told her the motor was "blown" and would cost R3500 to replace. A small tap with a screwdriver unstuck it. I called this fellow and told him off, but he hung up the phone

Lol
 
Stupid little dip****s with their lowered Polo's driving around in the rain with all their windows open so everyone in a 20 meter radius has to be subjected to his k*k doef-doef 'music' coming from his sub that makes my brain rattle around inside my skull.

I gave him the dirtiest of dirty looks but not even that seems to have helped. Oh and then he accelerates as if he is a racecar driver away from the traffic lights only to achieve a terminal velocity of 40kph in the fast lane while everyone else has to overtake him on the left because he can barely see over his steering wheel, given it's set so far back (that he has his arm out the rear window)

Rant over

I share your pain. Especially if you dare go the extra mile and get rewarded with a little bonus.... BAM.... 40% goes to SARS
 
Smokers who never, ever have a light. They will remember their smokes, sure, but never a light. Recently, I've started to tell anyone who asks me for a light to f-off.
 
For some reason my scroll wheel on my mouse doesn't work on this page.

Now I have to use the page up & down buttons on my keyboard like a bloody peasant

Maybe start with a simple "no" first?

Funny you should say that. For some reason, people seem to think the word "no" is a challenge or something for them to persist, or try harder. Hence why I get straight to the point first.

Well, if that was the case with me, I would try the humorous approach first I reckon. Something like "I was banned from possessing any lights at my arson-murder case. Thank god for temporary insanity plea's!"

But each to their own :)
 
People (adults with nice phones etc.) who absolutely need the wifi password NOW! at wherever they're having lunch.
Seriously - you need wifi to whatsapp for the next half hour?

On that note.....

People who do not understand the meaning of the word "No".

They expect an explanation, or think I must explain. "No", means "No". Not maybe, not please explain, not persist in pestering me.

"No" has to evolve into "Eff-Off" in about 30 seconds. Every. Single. Effing. Time.
