Government websites that think Im going to log on, give all my details and verify my mobile number...The arrogance of it like they are my friends. lets do lunch sometime

I dont need to be on them (re tax refunds) but the cheeky barstewards said you get it in days if you log on to a site. I looked at it..... F off! So Im waiting for the cheque which takes 60 days after filing a P50 form

Bottom line is I dont want any government agency with my mobile phone number etc etc... I hate em!!

There's no need for them to have your telephone number. Just as if they have the time and manpower to be calling people individually! They just want it so they can break your balls in the future if the need arises.

You can always put a fake number in anyway, that's what I usually do with these online forms where a phone number is compulsory. There's no way for them to verify it.

Same here. We must all seek to keep the controlling 'establishment' bastards at arm's length, as much as possible. Don't let them drip-feed their insidious mind control!

yeah but I looked through the site registration and they wanted phone verification by text or something.....Plus it started asking a lot of nanny questions already covered on the p50 form

So the P50 form results in a letter awarding a certain amount. They then refer you to a website (for speedy payment) which starts asking the same patronising questions you already sent off on a form.

So you wait ages for the cheque or visit a patronising site that treats you like a baby and gets more info to pin me down. I will wait ages then thanks ( Ive already been waiting 45 days)

If I did go online they will always expect me to go on the site so they can sack more workers and just have one YTS lad working in Dundee. I know for a fact that these ***ts are offering 8 hour a week contracts and our taxes dont get overseen properly

[struth]

they are trying establish that you are the person who did the form. fairly common to send you a text and for you to verify it. banks etc do it as does google

[Joe]

Yes, most banks now require a mobile phone number so they can send you a text with a code in that you use to verify your identity when purchasing stuff online ('two-step verification' is the term). It's a good way of preventing misuse of your card if it's lost or stolen.

I personally can't see the problem giving the number to a government department if it gets the money to you more quickly.

I'm with you there Rich. My allocated space is right outside my French doors and usually my car is parked there. I don't go out much so the space is occupied full time. However, the roof of the building is undergoing some repairs and a scaffold had to be put up and I was asked to park my car in a visitors bay while the work was taking place, reasonable enough I thought so did as requested. The scaffold was erected, oo err mrs, and enough space was left to put my car back but thought better of it in case of low flying debris from the roof. Anyway 8.15 the following morning I get a knock on the door from the roofers asking me to move my car and when I looked lo and behold some bell end had parked there overnight. I explained it wasn't my car and had no idea who it belonged to but the roofers insisted I found the owner and got it moved, they were told politely to piss off and talk to the managing agent. I get a call from them wanting to know who's car it was and as I couldn't help them I put the phone down. The car was there all day and mysteriously it was covered in building fallout. Later that evening the owner returned and gave me a load of abuse for letting the roofers work around his car, suffice to say he got a mouthful from me. Interestingly a sign has now appeared saying NO PARKING.

Sounds like a bunch of idiots all round. I'm glad a bit of karma got the driver though. Obnoxious git.

Obnoxious git? I'd have knocked him out!! What fucking right did he have to park on someone's private land? The SHEER CHEEK/audacity of the cretin....!!

So what excuse did the ignorant COCK give for parking his car there Ian, and I'd also love to know why he thought he was entitled to shout at *YOU*...?

Never mind building debris, I'd have had a word with the builders and asked them to 'accidentally drop' something heavy right through the c*nt's windscreen, which would've taught him a suitable lesson! Just a pity his car wasn't parked out on the road, rather than your driveway, as I'd have let down all his tyres, and laughed at him tying to fix it... FUCKER.

Turns out he's the boyfriend of my upstairs neighbour, I've had a run in with him before and he is wary of me and yes he is an utter nob.
A few years ago a similar situation happened to a friend of mine and after being asked politely on several occasions not to park in my friends bay suitable action was taken. It's surprisingly difficult to clean Vasaline off of a windscreen.
Someone I worked with had his car broken into outside his house, he knew who did it and he exacted a very good revenge. He superglued a plastic bag filled with paint stripper to the thief's car roof, the sweet part is that the thief actually does the real damage when they pull the bag off, brilliant.

Direct action is wonderful! Thing is, if your friend had reported the theft to the police, pointing them at the culprit, they'd have done jack shit due to 'lack of evidence'. But the complaint would have been recorded, and if your friend than went and give the scrote's car the stripper-in-a-bag treatment, the coppers would be straight round. So your mate could lose twice over He did exactly the right thing imo.
