It's not my day today...

[koopmaster]

Got to a commercial... cleaned tried to leave and my van won't start... battery dead. Tried to charge it... after a hour got a jump and went home... took father in law to get air filter and got 1 mile down the road and van started to judder.... bloody flat tire... wtf.... and no spare... so now walking home to get wife's car... oh and we took her keys so can get her to pick us up...

Then going to have to get tyre fixed and put back on.. day ruined. ..

Oh well look on the bright side it could have been worse.

Why is it when a day starts with one thing going wrong...things then go wrong all day..!!

Another one of my gopro clamps broke but lucky I had hindsight to have a spare.

Gas ran out on the water heater but the sapre tank was empty too.

Got a £60 fine for being caught in a bus lane

And that was one of my better days /emoticons/biggrin.png

These things happen in 3s apparently lol

 

[Smurf]

Yep it seems so for me /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[koopmaster]

Well because of the flat I went and got a spare tyre and rim for £13 and my battery issues wh where found to be because my positive cable was loose. all in all it forced me to sort out the little things. ..

Is it just me or are window cleaners just really unlucky? /emoticons/sad.png

Thinking of you all, my issue is the stupid pole hose is kinking like mad, does my head in, why does pole hose do that, its supposed to be pole hose for going up inside the pole, but no I think its scared of the dark and wraps itself up and kinks at the bottom or wraps round the pole like a boa constricta, if it had an eye, i would punch it in the eye, i dont do aggression, but ooooooohhhhhh makes you look like a plonker unravelling it every time you have to extend it.

windowsurfer hit the nail on the head exactly my feelings today.....I just wanted to hit the foo kin hose...I have been known to hit things in anger but you cant really hit a hose...

and bless...its pee ing on me...somehow its decided to spring a leak inside the pole and run down nicely onto me....

and back to the post.....poor koopmaster the only hopefully good thing is its all behind your for a bit now...I had a week or so not long ago....everything broke....grrrrr....sh it happens..

your post does make me think I am skating on very thin ice .....I can hear my battery struggling on my car and am gambling on it holding out....its not a good gamble ....I know I should order a new one ...but I am the great procrastinator..../emoticons/biggrin.png

Next time you could try strangling it?

 

[cheapncheerful]

its all right I cut its throat today...kind off..i found my leak, and for the second time I shortened my hose ....soon....I will be able to reach the cut off switch easy....

it is my fault...I own up....I stand the pole and it squashes the hose and digs into it and eventually that's where it goes...so I need an end cap but I saw a beauty on ebay ali with a cut out and now cant find it...but then I began to think ...ali may not be a good idea because its possible to bump your pole into things I think....

also I cba to measure the pole base as of course they come in different sizes.....mind you ....a shorter hose is a bit ..only a bit...easier to control..../emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[windowsurfer]

I had to wrap my hose round my neck as ground littered with dog mess the other day, I felt it kink up on purpose, it tried to strangle me, I'm sure of it

 

[cheapncheerful]

beware the boa hose....

yeh it does have a life of its own.....im off to buy some new stuff for an xmas pressie just for me....let you know how I get on.../emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[windowsurfer]

I need a set of braces, ma jeans are always falling down, wonky hip syndrome, or I might try some spandex NOT!

Yep pole hose is the bane of my life! Pulled it the other week and snapped it at the connector!

Went to get in my van two weeks ago and had a nail stuck in the side wall, then last week i opened my laptop and the flaming screen was cracked dunno how it happened but all i can say is i am pleased george backs its self up!/emoticons/wink.png

yep andy w I put my glasses down at night put them on in the morn cracked...how ...why...life can be ..cruel...

yep windowsurfer.....getting comfortable wear is crucial to keep you going...my new cheap and cheerful billy boxer shorts felt nice and tight but are too short at the back....if I get a draughty bit I get really annoyed...like I have posted before though....even in star trek next generation as they get up all they do is pull down their uniforms...
