Waiting for half an hour (and counting) to actually speak to someone on the phone... thank goodness I have unlimited minutes!

In the end, I was on hold before first contact with a human for 47 minutes

It doesn't half drag on, especially when they play the same few bars of music on a loop for the whole time.

Doesn't it just, and the reassurance your call is important... If it's that bleedin important, hire more people so I don't have to stay on hold for so long. There's 45 minutes of my life I won't get back

One thing that drives me insane is when the music they play keeps crackling and breaking up, I'm not sure if it's because I tend to phone people on my mobile but when I speak to a human the line is fine... And as James just said, when they keep interrupting the songs with "your call is important to us" or some other daftness! If I have to wait for an age then let me listen to the bleeding music!!! Haha

'tidl' hearing some Welsh man speaking on behalf of that family who had their little jihadi son blown to smithereens tell the BBC how we should have sent in the 'sos' (sic), extracted the guy and put him on trial back here....why?!? Why risk our *rolls eyes* 'sos' soldiers lives by plopping them into enemy territory surrounded by a bunch of clowns who are more than happy to meet their maker, just so they can drag some halfwit back to the UK to fill up our already over crowded prisons after a high profile court case.... Yeh, good plan!

The joys of trying to squeeze a 328kbps song down the 12kbps phone line, and wondering why it doesn't appease there customers prior to engagement with them.

I have a couple of samples of hold music on my mobile.

I play it to call centres if I'm looking for paperwoek to answer their daft questions.

(The music is terrible and annoying on purpose :p ).

Haha, upload required...

Do you keep telling them how important the phone call is to you halfway through aswell for true authenticity?

Don't forget the genuine 'I'm really sorry and understand entirely your situation...'

Or the stunned silence when they don't have a clue what you just told them so they transfer you to a manager, maybe you should threaten them with a transfer to the Mrs.

Apologies to the mods but........

What I don't like is getting back to my car after work to find some flipping faeces for brain muppet has keyed my motor

^ Wow that's really shocking, there are some evil people out there. I just hope you can get it repaired. Were there any CCTV cameras around to catch them?

No cctv I'm afraid have polished the hell out of it stirs less visible than it was but still there as its deep through to the primer and I can still feel the scratch.

Will try get some quotes at the weekend just hope it's not a full panel re spray as that's going to be touching a £1000.

WAMT is I work nights so it's not terribly unusual for me to sleep through the postman, so he duly cards me and I duly after the late school run go to retrieve whatever it is. Except this time, they've changed the rules so there now has to be approx 24hrs between carding and collection... so I thought I'd pop in this morning pre school run, straight from work...still isn't 'filed' so

I've got to do another after school run this afternoon

I modified your post a tad Phil lol.

It's evil when they do that, I had that also on my motor, jealous. Because I could Park and they could not!

Try the likes of chips away, ad long as it's fairly central to the panel, mine was on the curve at the top of the panel and so needed a full spray...

Unbelievable little.. Jesus I really hate the low life's who doing this to other people's property,

key-ing is such a cowardly act.. I reckon its definately a jealousy thing its like they get really erked when they see a nice motor and the only limited response they can give on the matter is to put a key in their hand and deliberately damage someones pride and joy....this really gets my goat!!!

Good luck. There are some truly despicable people out there.

I never hit women and would do my utmost to defend any woman having a hand laid on her, but if anyone would like to repeatedly punch that nasty jealous witch in the face, I'll turn a blind eye.

It disgusts me how anyone can try and defend that action!!!

A lot of guys and gals on here have ST's, RS, or have just spent more money on mods than I can afford. But my financial situation is just that, MINE, I have put my money into my business and misspent other amounts, maybe I shunned some overtime etc, whilst I find some modders work distasteful to me, you have all worked out the way you spend hard earned cash and that nasty woman doesn't deserve to comment on other people's hobbies or assets!
