In what universe is it acceptable to leave a dirty nappy and accompanying wet wipes in the 'pocket' of the seat in front for the driver to find when you have gone??

My grumpy/bitchy passengers did this on Saturday. I went to check the vehicle early morning before I went to sleep because, despite asking people to take rubbish with them, there is always some rubbish that needs collecting and yes - various empty and half full drinks bottles, empty crisp packets/biscuit wrappers (and accompany crumbs all over the seats and floor). I saw something in the net pocket on the back of the seat but had no inkling of what it was until I'd grabbed it and the wet wipes :angry-cussingblack: :angry-cussingblack: :angry-cussingblack:

FFS, what parent that is travelling with a baby doesn't have a plastic bag to put a dirty nappy in? And what sort of human just leaves a dirty nappy without a plastic bag around it tucked away like that for someone else to find??


My instructors at the school and various colleagues have always said how dirty, disrespectful and generally disgusting British passengers are and I've always said, "they aren't that bad really"

Well, I was wrong. I'm finding that people that book the bigger buses are WAY worse than those in minibuses. And I have to agree with the instructors and colleagues - especially after the nappy incident. I may start enforcing the "not food and drink" rule just cos I am a bit fed up (already) of having to clear up after people - even when I say "if you do eat or drink, please take your rubbish with you"

I would argue that then filthy fuckers from Belgium are worse and if our local scrounger is anything to go by Syrians are no better. Her shitty nappies are loose in the green bin (Landfill) and if that is full it goes in the brown (Garden waste)

Ask at the med centre (whichever one you get to first!) if there’s a support/boot thingy you can get. Or put a post on the valley echo or Tarentaise page as someone will have one in the back of a cupboard somewhere

If he’d done his shoulder or knee I have various supports/slings/braces I could have taken over. He would be awkward and do something I haven’t so I can’t supply the necessary kit 🤣🤣

If you use the air con a lot try a cleaner. When i bought my Fiat Stilo when i used the air con it stank and i was getting dull head aches. I never get head aches so had to be the car. Used a spay cleaner what acts like a smoke bomb and it seemed to cure the issue.

Shrinkflation in cat food.

Went to Tesco to get cat fud for the furry overlord and found that Felix cat food sachets are no longer 100 grams, but are now 85 grams for the same price. Bastards. It appears that all the major cat food manufacturers have made this switch at much the same time, so it's a fait accompli.

Cartel, what cartel?

Noticed this the other day when feeding the fluffy brats. That is Felix on my list of fuck off, you will never get a penny from me ever again list. For a while it was only the Extra large Multi packs that were 85 grams what i think only ALDI sold in a special buy.

James Wellbeloved had done the same with their dog food pouches, so I've switched to Royal Canin as they haven't.

Wasn't that one actually.
Was a person reading a shopping list all written in one colour and then Cat Fud written in another, as if the cat had added it to the list.

I looked for it online and could only find the version you found.

It still wasn't as good as the two mosquitos on a secion of human..
One was feeding and enflated like a baloon and the other one was shouting "PULL OUT, YOU'VE HIT AN ARTERY" to it.
