Polyglot Developer keen on bringing together the best bits. Supposedly tall.

He/him.

It doesn’t seem like @VodafoneUK cares about fraud at all.

Submitted their web form 2 months ago (with a 7 day supposed turn around) - nothing.

1 month ago I navigated their atrocious phone support to finally get asked to leave my name and number and they’d call… nope.

@UberUKI_Support I tried to give you another shot.

Ordered food, the driver sat at a different address and refused to deliver to me, and according to support I’m ineligible for a refund. The attached picture from the driver shows as much.

Do I really need to initiate a chargeback?

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

So @ubereats_uk no longer cares if your food is delivered an hour late. Apparently “latest arrival by” doesn’t actually mean “Your food will arrive by this time at the latest” as a statement.

No refund, no way to actually speak to support - just a “fuck you” to the customer.

Who do I complain to about @lowellfvi chasing me about debt that wasn't taken out by me?

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

@Searchieio Cancelled my account before the day I started the free trial (was testing some functionality for a friend) and I've now just been charged $49 - dafuq?

After 90 minutes on hold, I was asked:

- to connect to the ONT directly via a PC
- to hard reset the ONT

Nothing else to be done, I am no without internet for a week until an engineer can come (yay for 5G data networks in the mean time - thanks @ThreeUK)

Thanks @Hyperoptic…

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

Third day having @Hyperoptic broadband installed… and it’s died. 🤦‍♂️

It’s pretty quick when it works though 😂

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

It took 5 minutes on the @HMRCcustomers phone number before being put on hold (no one likes voice navigation / input - it just makes folks annoyed by the time they speak to someone).

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

@HMRCcustomers Been sat on hold for 50 mins now, website says the lines are open until 6pm - I'm assuming no-one is going to answer my call now?

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

@HMRCcustomers And if it's been 14 months since they were notified (and acknowledged the issue) and they still haven't done so?

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

@HMRCcustomers What should someone do if their employer in 2022 misreported their employment income, and when they submit their self assessment with the correct information their return is "corrected" with the wrong amount?

@ThreeUKSupport

My 5G modem/router in Leeds gets 10Mbps unless I repeatedly restart it every 30 minutes or so. Any suggestions?

Top tip for anyone wanting to use @noom - immediately cancel your subscription after you sign up so they don’t auto-renew.

They state auto-renewed charges aren’t refundable.

Wish I’d subscribed via Apple Subscriptions now.

@ThreeUKSupport

Trying to check some of my account settings - your login page is asking me to re-register but on doing so you display a generic “Please check the details you entered are correct”.

They are correct, it won’t let me register.

Just heard Parliament is going to debate the petition “Make lying in the House of Commons a criminal offence” on 23 October

Context:

I'm trying to understand a change in functionality someone no-longer at the company introduced before I started.

[Robert White @TallGuyRob]

I know I'm now a grumpy old man - but why can't we write better commit messages than:

```
Revert release revert (#508)

* fix: revert release

* fix: revert release revert

* fix: revert release revert
```
