It’s 2 days till christmas and to be honest now that I'm 19, christmas doesn’t seem as special as it used to. I mean yes I still like christmas but it doesn’t feel like it and I've not really done many “Christmassy” things yet (apart from the decorations). Even all the snow that we have all experienced it just doesn’t feel like it. Yes that's how bad it was outside my house yesterday the road was closed off for the first time in over a decade!!! There were still cars trying to use but to no avail as they were skidding everywhere! We even had an accident where a car was parked up and a car next to it trying to drive off. So the driver had the brilliant idea of pushing the car to get it going. We as obvious as it was, the car went into the back of the other car (fuck i should have got a picture of it to post on here, damn it!!). So he was there for half an hour sorting that out then still trying to get home!!! He managed it in the end.
Anyway, enough of that. Now to have a rant at 2 things that have annoyed me over this half of December: the police and Argos insurance. the reasons that i want to have a rant about them will be explained in the rants so here we go.
The great,kind,helpful and wanting criminals to be locked up, Police
Should you ever need the police, they TRY to deal with the problem/crime. For example your phone nearly gets stolen (attempted robbery), they will get the details off you and ask for a detailed description for the guy. They call you a week later asking for someone else (a possible witness) to give them another description. If you don’t have 1 then you’re as good as FUCKED because they expect that someone else would have seen it. you don’t have 1 then they say that they CAN’T do much else apart from do a Microsoft paint / witness 2000 so that you can come in to confirm their face on a piece of shitty software. I got a phone call today about my case. Apparently my case is as good as closed as they don’t have a good enough description of they guy.
THATS WHAT A DETAILED DESCRIPTION IS FUCKING FOR. I GAVE THEM AN EXACT DESCRIPTION OF THE GUY (I don’t have a photographic memory for nothing you know) AND WHAT DO THEY DO WITH IT? FUCK ALL. THERE A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT TALK ABOUT WASTING MY FUCKING TIME.
Argos’s brilliant, easy to use, hassle free insurance
Ok you might remember about my previous rants about my phone situation. As it was covered with Argos's insurance it should have been easy, just go in hand in the phone and they'll fix and repair it BUT NO, I have to use my money to call an 0870 number (even though I paid £15.99 for the insurance), then use more of my money to send it off in a 1st class, special delivery, padded package to the insurance company (which cost £5). I get a voucher back for £68 (that i have to activate over the phone using another 0870 number) to buy a new phone only from Argos and find out that all the phone in that price range are as good as the modern forms of the bricks from 1998. There shit! So I've paid about £90 (inc insurance) just to pay about £22 to ring and send off the phone to get a £68 voucher which all the phones in that price range are shit. It’s fucking ridiculous. Here’s a tip: If you buy something from Argos and you want insurance on it, please get it from somewhere else if you don’t want the hassle and the extra expenses because Argos don’t want anything to fucking do with it.
