i did 10 hours 44 minutes driving whilst in germany. i couldn’t find anywhere to park. so i did 2 prinouts.
on the first printout, i wrote. “over 10 hour driving due to lack of available parking”
on the second printout, i wrote “over 10 hour driving, weather was so bad i would have got wet putting the magnets on, but i had to carry on”.
well he nearly ■■■■■■ himself when i showed him the second one.
I had a tax form returned once saying they needed more info,
I had missed a question that I didnt know the answer to.
Q. When do you expect to return to the UK?
So I drew a little desert island with one palm tree and a matchstick man waving, and wrote
I am having way too much fun to consider returning + a smiley face.

A few weeks later I got a refund
In a similar vein, one of my VOR drops,a vauxhall dealer,that I generally get to at 0300ish parked their sales cars in sutch way that I couldnt turn round in the yard.No big deal I know but it meant reversing onto the carriageway (nsl)on a bend at night when folks would be tanking along expecting the road to be clear. I left them a little note explaining this and at the bottom of it I drew a face pretty much like this
The next night it was clear and on the cage was a note saying words to the effect of;we didnt know,thanks for pointing it out,like the humour. So a result,mission acheived,goodwill allround.
Dunno then?:

When I did the Ford garage in Wembley they always left a note on every single cage with returns on saying “please sign and leave one copy”, was always tempted to leave them a note back saying “Im not thick, I know how to do the paperwork”…

Vx dealers do this too,but in all fairness to them they dont know who will turn up,9 times out of 10 it’ll be the regular guy,but if its an agency driver arses need to be covered.

Wre you never tempted to do just that ?
When I’m sulking I always answer questions, as asked
eg TO “You and Bob left Sheffield at the same time. Can you tell me why Bob arrived Felixstowe an hour before you ?!?!?!”

me “Dunno. Have you asked him ?”
Ha ha when I drove service busses, people would ofeten ask where the bus in front of me was as it hadn’t turned up. My reply was “I don’t know, I can’t see it from here”.
Even better when they asked how long the next one would be…
“Where are you?”
“Errr - on the M6.”
“Where on the M6?” (slightly irritated)
“Not sure - went over Thelwall a while ago.”
“So when will you get to ■■■?” (Exasperated)
“About an hour - traffic permitting… Why didn’t you ask that in the first place?”
I’ve cured our TM - he asks the right questions these days.
I get a lot of deliveries to unoccupied farms where you’re told to “tip where the sign says so”. If there’s a chance of doing damage or it’s a pain to get to (rusting trailers, bags of fertilizer etc) I simply move the sign! I had a complaint once that I tipped in wrong place, luckily I took a photo on fone to “prove” where the sign was as we all think that particular customer is a right womans genital area!

Ha Haaaa…that’s a very diplomatic way of putting it ! . In my experience,I’ve found that a lot of farmers(and others,of course) are miserable sods and appear to have seen their own rectal area !!
