I think it was damaged beyond all repair before the child got anywhere near it

I've had multiple calls regarding the car accident I was apparently in and as many about the car finance I apparently had.
Apparently my PC is in danger of being hacked. If only I had one.

The way to get rid of the car accident people is just to go along discussing it for a while, then say `what so they will pay out twice' and then after they have given you a confused answer just explain you won your case over a year ago. They soon stop bothering you then, and its fun.
My method (pre number display) was to say "Hold on", put the phone on the shelf, walk away, and leave them hanging.

It’s worth what anyone will pay for it.
And I presume that previous sales have shown there to be a market for it.
I agree that the international art market is bonkers and we can all question whether it is moral or ethical to spend $50 million on that whilst people are homeless?

When you have come home from work early as you are expecting a parcel and the company sends you tracking info that includes a map of where your driver is.... "Ah, he's just around the corner from me. I expect he'll be here in 10 minutes..." yet he doesn't come. Strange. you check the tracking again and now he is on the other side of town. FFS!!! You were literally around the corner!!! Later you see a van driving past your house whilst desperately waiting for this package and you expect him to stop. He doesn't and proceeds to the other side of town. Why? You were just here. Why not stop? He's currently about 1.5 miles from my house. B'stard!!! I've got things to do!!

Addendum: Delivery driver turned up in a pedal/electric powered 4 wheeled 'bicycle' contraption. Kudos to him, especially in this heat. He said it gets easier as the day goes on as the load lightens. I was quite impressed considering the hilly nature around here.

People describing a four wheeled cycle as a bicycle. They're quadricycles...

When people say:
"You can't compare those, it's like comparing apples to oranges."
Well yes, one is green or red (the apples), the other is orange (the orange). They both grown on trees but one is citrus. And so one, so, of course you can compare them.
Some guy says they can't compare two products, then proceeds to start comparing them.
How bizarre.

Or you cannot compare your situation with someone elses.
Particularly in respect to divorce, they often say no marriage is perfect. But that's a world seat from a marriage that is difficult and ends up in the most acrimonious divorce possible?

A fun way to see if they are really listening is to say "Oh yes, the accident in which I was fatally injured"

One thing that I've found really annoying......... You buy a pair of scissors, and because they are a 'sharp item', they are sealed so tightly in plastic that you need another pair of scissors to remove them for use.

Or a knife? 🤔
