@TheRAC_UK Called Friday at 6 with gearbox problem that would need recovery from a country lane, patrol arrived Sunday lunchtime. The service has become not just pointless but actively endangering people by promising to be there within half an hour when that’s clearly not possible.

@treehouse1984 Hi Helen, please accept my apologies for such a long initial wait. Can you confirm for me via DM if you've since been safely recovered please? Thank you, ^Sam twitter.com/messages/compo…

Closing in on 24 hours waiting for @TheRAC_UK. Was advised last night they weren’t coming and wouldn’t reimburse for an Uber because it wasn’t recovery (because no patrol sent first), I was told to “call 999 and ask them to arrange a taxi.”….it’s not on the road…

To update, been waiting with car today since first window given of 8am, was told at 17.45 I was the next stop and would be 48 minutes. Phone back at 8pm after no updates and can’t be told when a patrol will be assigned, “you’ll have to wait for them to let you know”. I fold.

3.5 hours on the m25 in freezing rain alone until midnight after wrong advice to drive home due to”more urgent cases”, 5.5 hours with no response, 3.5 hours waiting before told they’d pay for an Uber home, but this one they don’t do that but I should call 999 rather than Uber?!

@robi94019 @TheRAC_UK Mines apparently been escalated twice, closing in on 24 hours, were “aiming” for an hour ago with no updates. This is about the 5th pointless experience in a row, beginning to think it’s some kind of sham protection racket….

@TheRAC_UK now 22 hrs since first reported breakdown. Still stuck with the vehicle and waiting for recovery/ hire car. This could have been handled so much better but it seems nothing happens without escalation and even then the information is wrong or advice poor and action slow

@TigNotaro I’m about to blow a point on a 3 month old podcast episode out of the WATER but… merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hon…

If any more anti vaxx nutters appear in my notifications regarding Paul O’Grady I’ll find ‘em and shove this right up their crack holes.

This has reminded me it’s not the first farcical experience, time wise it would’ve been far easier to go to a store

@sainsburys to reschedule, driver said the customer service rep said he had told me something different - respectfully not the case. Just called as they didn’t contact and told the only option is to cancel, refund takes up to a week & reorder every item again. Is this really necessary….?

@sainsburys I asked if I could push back grocery delivery yesterday as was delayed & given first slot in 4 hour window and was told as long as I was home by 8.30 it would be fine, driver called from outside at 7.30 so had to mark as not delivered and I was told they’d contact me

@HolstaT Don’t get me started on tandems, absolute wankers. You’re happy, we get it, but that also makes it 50% less effort to push you over…

Where’s the best lasagna in la?

@andrewhunterm I’ve never thought of how funny it is that tank tops have the word tank in their name and yet could not be less related as items or (and I mean this purely as a compliment) personality types…

Just tried to order a tank top from Germany. Unfortunately the German government has contacted me saying it doesn't know how many tank tops it owns, the head and sleeves are too complex for me to use, and it also won't let anyone I know give me one of *their* tank tops.

@HowtoADHD @Real_Theresa Didn’t work out I’m gay AF until I was diagnosed and on the right meds, was too busy faking staying above water!

I’m writing a chapter on the intersectionality between ADHD & other stuff. (I.e. conditions/race/culture/gender/sexuality) so people understand our lived experience better. What would you want people to know? Some tweets may be quoted -- if so, @Real_Theresa will reach out!

@HolstaT @lukemcgee And they encourage us to do this on an open fire?

Just got in from the last food shop to discover that the oven is temporarily unusable because @lukemcgee, overcome with the festive spirit, decided to roast chestnuts for the first time ever & they "exploded."

@abbsmk Hand sanitiser!

anyone have a hack for getting this stuff off once i’m out of the hospital? i never can 😭😭

The patriarchy?

@KathyBurke Funny thing is she absolutely proved your original tweet valid 😂

Some peroxide piranha who refers to themselves as a “journalist” tried to cause a pile on against me for a tweet I did several months ago. How very investigative. It’s backfired right up her hypocritical arsehole. Lovely stuff.
