Bit of weird one.
There's a store that sells clearance items in a lucky dip type deal, you pay £40 and you get boots of at least that value. I know people who've done it and one of the cunts ended up with a pair worth £180.

I decided to take a punt, the parcel has arrived and is waiting for me at home, but I've no idea what I've got. If it's shit I'll just lie and say they don't fit, but I want to see how my luck has played out.

I won't get home for another five hours.

He meddles - changes things without asking or enquiring how they work, pays no attention to how to do things properly, and absolutely refuses to make a decision about anything, deferring either to his manager, or requesting that I or someone else make the call.

Last Christmas, during the flooding, our power went out in the middle of the night.
The mains powered smoke alarm started beeping and driving us mad, but I couldn't get to it because it was above some stairs. I tried to smash it off the ceiling with a stick, but this only knocked off the cover, which made it make a more frequent and more annoying beep. After much shouting and despair I finally managed to stuff some blu-tac in the buzzer with the stick to muffle the sound enough to get some sleep.
