@Optus Someone’s set up an account with my email address. I’m in the UK, I don’t have an account with you. You’re hard to reach. Please sort.

@AscotPhill @SimonCalder And the 10-hour drive to Malaga?

@AlanJLSmith Where’s the photo of unwashed dishes? Feels like there’s more to this.

@ExpediaHelp I began this survey but was told (shorthand) ‘nah, not from you’ after answering a fair few questions. There was no warning on the email so you’ve wasted my time. Please explain.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@Tara__Goodsell @EDI_Airport GB News? That’ll be a hard pass.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@EDI_Airport We’ve got clearance for takeoff. EDI reopening in 10. (Or so says the captain).

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@EDI_Airport Tarmac-based BA LHR flight here. At least we’ve got biscuits.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@MichaelHavis @EDI_Airport Taxi-ing back to stand, so no calls. All very civilised on board (in a BA sort of way).

@AmazonUK What’s with this? There’s no warning to suggest I wasn’t eligible.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@LinkedInHelp I’m locked out but on a tech merry-go-round that won’t stop. Can you help me get back in, please?

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@VirginMoney Less painful to close my accounts, thank you.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@VirginMoney How do I remove a cancelled card from the app. On the merry-go-round of customer services numbers…

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@VirginMoney Did this. 15 minute call. She managed to cut my access from the app then conveniently hung up. No call back, naturally. 0/10.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@VirginMoney I did. They didn’t. They told me to call 0800 328 3578. No option to help.

@AirbnbHelp These are app notifications and no, you can’t turn them off. They’re useless, and nobody asked for them.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@Airbnb why can’t we get rid of these notifications (we didn’t ask for)? They don’t need a ‘follow-up’ and just add clutter to the app.

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

You didn’t get the memo, @Airbnb? We’re not in the pandemic anymore. Keep up.

@thewhitecompany Inside a White Company store (Chiswick) being told I couldn’t use the 15% discount sent by SMS. Instead, I had to order online (free delivery) for you to send out to me: bonkers for your bottom line and bonkers for the environment, surely?

[G-Mac @gordonmcdonald]

@AmexUK can you tell us why you’ve pulled out of Brighton Pride before I cancel our cards?

@iamAtheistGirl @col_a_buendia This boring old JFDI used to end with ‘eat at a fast food joint’, but the narrative has changed?
