I feel like I’m in some Kafka-esque nightmare

I’ve seen it before when a builders merchant lorry was unloading in the middle of the road. Woman got out of her car and went marching up to the wagon shouting at the driver.

He just shrugged and got back to lifting his bricks off while the woman stropped off back to her car.

Great stuff.

In the post yesterday I received two letters.

One was from HMRC telling me that I had paid too much tax in 2016 and I needed to go online and provide bank account details so they can pay it back to me.

The other was from my bank telling me that due to restructuring, for legal reasons involving the separation of personal and business banking, my account number and sort code will soon be changing.

Knowing my luck, if I provide my bank details to HMRC right now, they will pay me after my current details are obsolete. All I feel I can do is wait and hope my bank provides the new details soon.

This is irksome… I want my money and I want it now!

  • typing info into excel then realising it’s waiting for me to ‘enable editing’ Like a dick.
  • turning up to quiz nights that have been cancelled
  • hearing someone pronounce something wrong more than once in the same day
  • people “agreeing to disagree” on shit when they actually mean “I’m wrong, you are superior to me and have won this bout of intellectual battle”

Oh, and hi everyone.

I keep getting emails from my bank saying there are IMPORTANT UNREAD MESSAGES on my online banking account. Then I log in and it says there are IMPORTANT UNREAD STATEMENTS to read. Then I click on them and it says “there has been an error. Click here to return to your accounts.”, which has a message saying IMPORTANT UNR

I have spoken to Chris W on FedEx webchat who has called the depot and assures me it will be delivered today.

This lands somewhere between extremely minor and full irkage, but Google Chat has recently been replaced with ‘Hangouts’. It’s basically the same fucking thing with emojis and it shows people’s little profile picture thing.

The irk:

On chat, there used to be little notifications pop up when someone sent a message, just like when an email comes in. It doesn’t happen with Hangouts though, so if I’m busy doing work or DiSing, I can easily go 30 minutes without seeing a message someone sent.

It does go “ping” if your sound is on, though, doesn’t it?

#521

Dunno, our computers don’t have sound

Turning the dial on the washing machine one notch too far and having to continue turning it almost a full rotation to get to the setting I want.

I’d say this is the exact perfect level of irk for this thread. Well done.

Someone bought a record from me on discogs. It’s now been 28 hours. Why has he not paid for it?

More tales of irk: new phone arrived, yay. So I go to put in the SIM card I’ve had since 2013, and it doesn’t fit in the phone. Wtf is a ‘nano SIM’.

Phone company are sending me a new one free, but it doesn’t arrive until tomorrow ugh
