Another moan

My paper boy never showed up today. He does this from time to time and it gets on me wick. Spoilt me early morning cuppa. Eventually he arrived about 2p.m.!

Next I eagerly unpacked my nice new car seat covers I had ordered. I had waited 3 weeks for these, instead of the 1 week they had initially promised. They didn't fit, wouldn't even go over the headrests. When I looked at the invoice, they were for a 2004 Vauxhall Frontera - mine's a 2008 Chevrolet!
Fed up, I decided to send them back and request a full refund.
Got onto PayPal who had arranged the payment. Tried to do the refund application online but it kept refusing the details. I was getting a bit rattled by then, so phoned them.
Eventually I got through to one of those recorded voices you're supposed to talk to, but they never offer the options you actually need. I gave all the info as best I could, and shortly after they sent me an e.mail to let me know they would sort it out. How efficient, I thought.
Except when I read the e.mail, the reason for returning the goods was nothing like I had said at all, so phoned them again. After pressing dozens of 'options' and listening to more recorded messages, I eventually got to speak to a human being. He took details all over again and once again said it would be sorted. I certainly hope so.

Now my son doesn't appear to be speaking to me at the mo.
He had a bit of an upset with his Nan yesterday, which I tried to put right between them, but it backfired and now I've got the blame for something that I'm totally innocent of.

Bloomin' paper boy, bloomin' car seat company, bloomin' PayPal and bloomin' kids!
Tomorrow's another day . . . . . .

Re: Another moan

Glad it helped

Re: Another moan

Oh dear Mups , very frustrating, that's how it goes some days.
I would try to let all the annoyance float by and take the dogs out.
Life is too short to let such things bother you...

Re: Another moan

Lifes irritations sometimes only a grump or a moan will do Mups hope today is better for you !

Re: Another moan

Mups x I've had a few of these days recently, it got so bad I had a verbal rant about it and only then did the cloud lift. Sometimes you've got to let it out, even if its verbally to yourself.
Customer 'services' are so bad these days, I really dread phoning them, I've tried the Email route lately and still get dumb, unbelievable responses, so they don't pay attention what ever route you choose.

Re: Another moan

Hope today is a better day Mups. One day at a time, eh?
xx

Re: Another moan

Days like that when nothing is going right must make you want to scream, Janela

I hope the sun is shining on you today and helped to lift your spirit ...... *hugs*

Re: Another moan

Thanks everybody, you're all lovely and it has cheered me up.
Did anyone see that wonderful moon last night? Long time since I've seen it so big and brilliant - beautiful. That sent me to bed happy, and, as you say, today the sky is unbroken gorgeous blue, the sun is shining, and I've put things back into perspective again. X
