It’s beyond a joke now, amazon delivery drivers just don’t give a shit. We have a gate with a code, which we put clearly in the address AND on amazon apps custom delivery instructions. They just fucking leave it outside the gate or throw it over (so that when someone opens the gate it gets caught on the package and fucks either the gate or the package up)

Can’t be true! The Amazon advert has the happy delivery man actually handing items to customers.

Yeah, and I've had lots of emails from them telling me that 'the package was handed to the resident'.
When it hasn't.
Wanquers.

Fully agree. Its just another shit American thing we can add to the list of shit American things creeping in to our every day lives/vocabulary.

• Baby Showers
• Wedding Showers
• Prom, when we all know its just a school disco
• Over-doing Halloween
• Black Friday
• Calling Christmas, The Holidays.
• Calling a gherkin, a pickle
(my missus does this, and every time she says it, I want to punch her square in the face)

- “Can I get a…”
- Signs for restrooms rather than toilets
- Being prompted for a 10-30% ‘service charge’ when eating out and sometimes when ordering a drink at a bar.

It's quite nice to find out that the Thai brass you just picked up is actually female.

I've seen it said if you declare a safe place then the delivery company have no liability after they've put the parcel there. Is that true?

It's the same here as well - a signed for delivery by Amazon was lobbed over the gate and signed for by "Garden".

People who are unable to change perspective, when faced with the truth that their view is/has been wrong. In fact, I find it more scary than annoying,

not sure why this annoys me, but coffee cups on tv shows/films. They’re always obviously empty. Fill them with water or something

I always think this. The way they pick them up makes it obvious its empty, why not just put water in them?

Fans walking into the toilets the wrong way at the CBS, which then causes a bottleneck slowing it all down because they have nowhere to go.

Birmingham council, closed a 3 lane road down to 1 because of the pot holes they can't be bothered to fix and left the bus stop in place, so every time the bus stops, it completely stops the flow of traffic. Adds about 15 mins onto my journey to go quarter of a mile, Absolute shambles. Proper third world country now.

The centre of Birmingham is a fucking nightmare. Seems to have been going on for years and it keeps changing so your sat nav will send you straight into a closed road.

Takes a lot to get me to go to Birmingham for a night out now. On top of the traffic you've got to content with people coming up to your car when you're stopped at traffic lights and smack heads in the city centre car parks.

In the near on three decades I've been going to football, I never thought that the closest I'd see to fists being thrown was because of people walking in the toilets using the wrong door, but it's happened four or five times just this season!

I realise it would all require a significant redesign, but one-way gates on the exits wouldn't go amiss.

When I raised this issue on (I think) a thread about questions for the next Coventry City Supporters forum meeting I got negative feedback from Sky Blue Pete. I've only seen it once this season and once a couple of seasons ago, maybe you are nearer singers corner where the alcohol consumption might make incidents of that sort more likely.

Found my post...

Next supporters forum 4th December

Wonder which account on here is someone from the club :ROFLMAO: That’s excellent
