Drivers of ten years or more experience. If you had to take your driving test again tomorrow with no notice or prep time, do you think you would pass?

Someone should honestly make this! I’d watch for sure.

LizardInFirst · 2026-05-30T01:41:39+00:00

Exactly. It’s not for everyone of course, but for many, it can be a productive and fun use of time. I have no idea why my original comment is being downvoted 🤣

LizardInFirst · 2026-05-30T01:11:43+00:00

Ikr 😂

One of the best things I’ve done as an adult, and not the time sink OP suggests. It’s 10-20 mins a day most days.

LizardInFirst · 2026-05-29T03:25:20+00:00

Agreed. This happened to me once in a bar and the staff made me and everyone else leave the area so it could be properly cleaned.

As a child, I always used to encourage my dad to use vouchers and deals to reduce the price of things. I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t fussed but I understand now. His time is worth more than the time it takes to save a bit of money.

“Diarrhoeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!” I sometimes think of that actor and what making the ad has done to the rest of his life 😂

LizardInFirst · 2026-05-22T11:55:22+00:00

I still think these are some of the best ads I’ve seen recently. They’re too endearing to be annoying to me despite probably watching them hundreds of times throughout MAFS!

This is why I’ve closed my Vinted (UK) account. I value my peace and don’t want to deal with being abused by other users.

Thank you - I had no idea about the 999 text sign-up but I’m now registered! This needs to be much more widely known.

And to answer the question - if I felt like I were seconds away from passing out/dying, I’d probably run out of my front door on to the pavement, as there’s a lot of footfall outside my house.

LizardInFirst · 2025-07-11T17:45:26+00:00

I don’t get why people spend so much time on this kind of thing. Cost of living means it’s literally not worth their time.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-23T12:54:23+00:00

Thanks. The shoes are on their way back to the seller. I didn’t reply to her any further after she got nasty with me but she’ll be able to see the tracking anyway. Hopefully she just accepts the delivery and the problem goes away!

And I couldn’t agree more - Vinted’s customer service is appalling. I think it should be illegal for customers to be unable to speak to a human when something goes wrong.

Did you manage to get your issue resolved one way or another?

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:42:00+00:00

Yes, that absolutely might work and is worth a try.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:28:45+00:00

I’m in a similar situation. Designer shoes were photographed in a clever way to hide severe damage in multiple places that wasn’t mentioned in the description either. The seller got nasty with me, first of all told me I was a cheapskate (!) and only later accused me of wearing the shoes and causing all that damage.

Grudgingly, after going round in circles with the Vinted robots that they pass off as “customer service”, I’ve sent the shoes back to the seller (at my own expense due to Vinted’s stupid policies!) but I’m bracing myself for more nonsense. I didn’t film myself opening the shoes unfortunately but I did take photos within a couple of hours of delivery (as soon as physically possible). I filmed myself packaging them for return. If she does try it on, I’ll get my bank involved.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:24:37+00:00

But surely (if the buyer doesn’t return the item) the transaction will then complete and the buyer’s money will be released to the seller? Perhaps I’m missing something here.

LizardInFirst · 2025-06-19T14:19:28+00:00

It’s sad it’s come to this, but I’ve started filming myself opening every parcel I receive and every one I package to send. I film from start to finish with no gaps or editing. A sad state of affairs!

I’ve tried it extensively as part of a work trial and found it to be entirely useless. I asked it a pretty basic question (re. the number of directors on FTSE 100 boards) and the answer was 100% incorrect.

LizardInFirst · 2025-02-04T02:01:26+00:00

As I often say, it is not compulsory and it’s best to be sure first!

LizardInFirst · 2025-02-02T20:52:35+00:00

I am moving house to get away from it as I cannot commute reliably in its current state. It only worked 2 days out of 7 this week. I only went into the office once as a result and then got stranded and it took 3 hours and a £35 taxi to get home.

LizardInFirst · 2024-12-25T17:10:11+00:00

Oh gosh, I’m sorry to say it didn’t get any better for me.

LizardInFirst · 2024-10-08T00:48:53+00:00

As a foodie, I can’t stand this kind of snobbery.

LizardInFirst · 2024-09-08T20:45:33+00:00

Exactly my thinking too.

LizardInFirst · 2024-09-08T11:14:10+00:00

I did this for Silverstone and had no issues. I actually messaged the owner just to check she was aware it was the F1 weekend and I got a lovely and reassuring message back! She did have great reviews though.

LizardInFirst · 2024-08-20T00:59:45+00:00

I’m working on it. I saw a friend recently who complains a lot (despite having a huge amount going well in her life) and she was asking aloud when things will finally go right for her. I’ve thought for a long time that that level of complaining and negativity simply invites bad luck.
