Though I'd missed emails about renewal, except no Confused are being sneaky and sending out insurance quotes that expire the day they are sent!
I've got a month to check and recheck quotes - you know they are deliberately going to miss stuff out to give you a low headline quote and then sting you with the extras (one year the all singing and dancing premium policy was way cheaper as it had the the addons included)

So when you turn it upside down it runs out, and the weight collapses the bottle squeezing more out.

Honestly, what a joke.
My order arrived around an hour and a half late and the food was completely stone cold by the time it got here.
When I asked the courier what took so long, he admitted his phone had died and he’d gone back home to charge it for around 20 minutes. He also had two other deliveries to do.
What really annoyed me was his attitude. He didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. He was basically happy to leave people waiting an hour and a half for their food, knowing full well that by the time it arrived, it would be stone cold. There was no real sense that he cared about the inconvenience or the condition the food would arrive in.
I contacted Just Eat expecting them to at least look into it and offer a refund, considering the ridiculous delay. They refused. I tried to get them to reconsider, and they’ve now emailed me saying they’ve reviewed everything and their decision is final.
What makes it even more frustrating is that Just Eat doesn’t seem to have a straightforward system for reporting a courier’s conduct separately. You can complain to customer support, but there’s no obvious way to leave feedback about the individual courier like you can on other delivery apps. So you’re left trying to get someone to take your complaint seriously while being told there’s nothing more they can do.
So I’m just supposed to pay full price for food that took an hour and a half to arrive and was completely cold? Absolutely ridiculous.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with them? Is there actually any way to get this sorted, or do they just refuse refunds and hope people give up?

It looks lovely, but I'd rather check one rail in my size than every label in the shop.

British Gas put our combined gas and electric up to £190 a month. We're two adults living in a 3 bed bungalow. Out of spite, I'm just not going to put the heating on this year so I hopefully die of hypothermia and then I can haunt British Gas and get everyone to write mournful letters to them on my demise.
I could spend that £190 a month on fun things to make my life enjoyable, but instead British Gas want me to pay for something that should be a basic right... and while we're at it, council tax!!! every month I have to pay the council for what? Both my council tax and energy bills combined each month, with money I've worked hard to earn, could go into a savings account to pay for us to go on a nice annual holiday to get away from and take temporary respite from the money-grabbers in charge in the UK.
Genuinely quite peeved about all of this nonsense.

Looking out the window, I saw the delivery driver pull up and step onto my driveway, boxes in had.
I go open the door to greet him but he's nowhere to be seen. Confused, I walk out to take a look.
I catch him, down the side of the house, leaning over the gate trying to reach the bolt. Failing to unlock my gate he then chucks my parcels over it.
He turns around, sees that I've been watching him and just starts smiling. When I ask why he didn't even bother ringing the bell, he just smiled some more and nodded. Getting back into the van.
It would have been quicker to ring the bell!
I've spoken to a few friends with similar experiences. What happened to just knocking the door and fucking waiting?!

It should be cold outside and the puffy coats should be out, yet I'm out here in a t-shirt.

Edit: I have head phones on, he got on in Dundee so he is a seasoned veteran.
I can’t acrually make this up, once he got off he was replaced by a group of chavs going on a night out

Ordered the item yesterday, initial confirmation email said item will be delivered on Tuesday. Email this morning - item will be delivered TODAY. I didn't pay for next day delivery. This would be a success if I wasn't going to be be out all day. And it's not something that can simply be left in the porch. No means of rearranging delivery time online. Now I have the hassle of trying to get through to the courier.

Another week, another failed journey to London - But definitely made more frustrating when none of the platform staff or train staff have any idea what's going on either!

Public transport.
Is public transport so terrible BECAUSE there are so many cars clogging up all the roads or are there so many cars BECAUSE public transport is so bad? Specifically buses. Every time I travel by bus there is an issue no matter where i am in the country. Late, no show, traffic jams making me late for connections. It's not worth travelling by bus anymore I'd rather just drive myself at this point.

Today I was stopped twice and the second one only let me go after confirming that I was already stopped before.
Edit: OK, to answer some questions that keep recurring;
