My Daughter landed in Dalaman just before midday but we never got the usual "We've landed" text and later on still no "We're at the hotel its lovely and weather hot" text either! Nothing on the socials as well. By about 8 o'clock the wife was getting really anxious and worried. Finally a text arrives. Turkey outside EU so no data and hotel wifi wasn't working. Phew!

16?! Where the fuck did those years go?

This morning I did it before she got here thinking that she'd put everything back as it usually is.

Nope, for once she put everything back exactly as she found it...

Is this the same guy you had grief with before?

It sounds trivial but this annoys the shit out of me, our maid puts things away in the most bizarre places, for example she put my Vans trainers in the back of my wife's wardrobe under some old towels, I literally thought I'd lost them and then weeks later we found them when we were looking for something else.
She's now banned from touching my stuff.

you posey snobby fucker.

I thought you were a proud northerner

I know you're on a wind up but it's a shame that some people in the UK have actually been conditioned to think like this.

I heard a story about a guy that goes every day to the barbers to get a shave, and his friend asked him why he didn't buy razors so he could do it himself and save a load of money. The guy responded that he makes his living and he feels that it's his responsibility to help the barber make his too.

I don't need a maid, I can hoover my own house, I'm no one important and even if I was no one is important enough not to make their own bed, but the maid needs to earn a living, so does the gardener, so does the bloke that washes my car every morning, etc.
I tip the bloke that puts petrol in my car even though I could do it myself and save the tip.

Next time you see an advert or a bloke knocks on the door to ask if you want your garden doing, consider that he might actually be going under and needs the work, rather than thinking that you'll do it yourself and not share the money around. And if he doesn't do it perfectly you can still pay him and have a moan about it on here.

You bunch of miserable scroogey bastards.
