I'm Always Complaining

 I am though.  Today it was with Amazon who moments after I bought something then held a flash sale and the blatantly displayed a big saving on what I'd bought.  I complained not that it had gone down but that they had blatantly shown a flash to me moments after completing the purchase which was a bit like a punch in the face.  So I suggested that they might like to look at that as it isn't a great sales technique.  A bollocks answer generated by AI no doubt gave me "The Company Position" which all I really wanted to point out was it probably wasn't good for business.

Then there's driving.  In a supermarket car park where people are loading their cars and wandering around with trolleys and the like surely you'd drive a little slowly and cautiously?  No not bleeding Lewis Hamilton in his Volvo - I was edging out past a van and I glimpsed this bloke in the car opposite's windscreen and so stopped, he skidded to a halt near to me as he'd possibly seen me moving out.  I did give him my raised eyebrow look.  What an idiot though, the skid marks were pretty long so I'd say he was hitting 20 or 30 and then had to emergency stop not that I was anywhere near him as I'd halted my car and wasn't even sticking out into the drive.

Then we had a grandchild with us at a restaurant and he's very good holding hands and the like, two vehicles swung into the car park and narrowly missed us and we were on the raised pavement.  What's the point guys, what is the point you can't actually park at that speed can you?  

So those complaints for today along with, my latest one.  We need to sort out our hedgerow it's been neglected and is covered in English Ivy so I ordered some trees to replace a few and to fill the gaps knowing that delivery was to be 10 days which was great.  That would allow me time to remove the Ivy, dig over under the hedge and prepare for the new trees.  Two sodding days they arrived in - 2 days!  FFS.  I've been out there working like mad today and have only got about a fifth of the hedge done.  That's filled up the compost bin already and the heavy stuff is yet to come.  Oh well, it just means that I'll have to give it a good go tomorrow now and hopefully get it finished over the weekend. Let's hope the weather stays fair.
