Really minor annoyances


I've been to Dunelm. They refunded me for the incorrect duvet cover and the store placed a new order for a single duvet cover for me.

While I was still in the store, the order confirmation came through and I noticed it had Skg written on it. I went back and checked with the lady who ordered it. It goes through as a single when you order it but then it changes to super king after the order has been confirmed.

Store cannot refund orders, so I had to speak to online live chat when I got home. They've refunded the order the store made.

He said it looks like an error on their site, so he's had to escalate it to the web merch order team to look at it, but he's got no idea how long it'll take to fix.

Think I'll just go and buy a duvet cover from somewhere else.

Ordered the bairn some new bedding including a single duvet cover from Dunelm but they accidentally sent a super king size.

Returned it and re-ordered a single. They sent another superking size.

Sent that one back with a bright pink postit note stuck on it saying "please exchange for a single size".

Package arrived yesterday and they've exchanged the super king size for another super king 🤦‍♀️

Taking it back in person this morning to see if they can sort it in store. It's an online only pattern so it's not stocked in store and comes from their warehouse.

In a sitcom you'd have a realisation that perhaps an adult bed is better so you order, at great expense, a super king size bed, then order the same design of duvet from Dunelm and they send a single.

That reminds me when I was a kid I sometimes cut a little slit out of the bags of fun size sweets and slid some out, got carried away and there wasn't many left, surely others have done the same with vodka until it's mostly water 🤣

On the back of this thread, I’ve just been given a little Hotel Chocolat collection and I’m not telling the wife!
 
Fanciful, "right on" beer brewers that think making their ale cloudy somehow makes it cool. No, it looks rank & off & I've just slung it down the sink, Hairy Bikers (RIP Dave) & Theakstons, NO!!! I now, ironically, have opened a Black Sheep, beautiful & clear...

When radio stations play the same songs by a band when they have a large back catalogue of great songs.

Or for instance when they always play the abridged version of ‘Shout’ by Tears For Fears and hurry up to cut off ‘Fly Like An Eagle’ by Steve Miller, but yet they always have time to play in its entirety ‘We Will Rock You’ ALWAYS followed straight on by ‘We Are The Champions’ and the full version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and the full length piano outro of ‘Layla’ etc.

Errm .....no.
Because contrary to the myth in your heed, the Queen medley you mention rarely, if ever, happens.

And if you profess to be a music fan, yet still have an issue with the piano outlay from Layla, you need to take a long hard look at yourself marra.

You missed the point.
Whether or not I like the songs is irrelevant. I know Queen deeply divides opinion on here. I used to be completely ambivalent towards them but I’m just sick to death of hearing them now as they are constantly on heavy rotation over here on the classic rock stations, which as I said ALWAYS play the two Queen songs together and ALWAYS play the full version of Layla but for other songs you get the crappy chopped up edit.

You're in America? So different to UK classic rock stations?

I didn't miss the point at all, but what you are saying just isn't true marra.
It's in your heed.
 
got shopping in Morrisions. Do food was £9 but £7.50 with more card. Noticed on recipt this didn't come off. Rang store, told to come back in with receipt. He would check the price and sort it.

Went back 10 day later. Got refund although the shop assistant said whe should have trailed the bag of dog food back with us too. Go another bag still on offer..... still didn't take discount off. Went back and got another refund!

Calculator at ready from now on!

( then saw that same food was only £5 in herons!!!)

Hate all this bollox, your shopping is an inflated £84, but if I can have your information you can have it for the normal price of £72.
