What do you want, a medal? if his father is terminaly ill is that not something more worthy to stress and worry about than a peice of paper??!!
Please...really, go and give your advice to someone who wants it. How dare you.0 -

I came to this conclusion by reading your posts and I will give advice wherever I like. If you don't like it then pop me on ignore.0 -

Actually, it was!
The best advice you had was early on in the thread - "don't sweat the small stuff"; if you react like this to a minor annoyance, how will you react when life really throws the !!!!!! at the fan?0 -
Reading her post about dealing with a terminally ill person it is probably because she has lots of !!!!!! to deal with at the moment that this 'minor' annoyance tipped her over the edge, she then took all of her fury out on the DVLA/here rather than with others around her. Easy done, I do it myself over minor stuff and it makes you feel so much better as 'real' people don't have to deal with it - especially when the people around you are also dealing with the !!!!!! too.
However, I would be annoyed as well if that happened to my certificate. I got married 11 years ago and it is still pristine as the day we got it. Sure it has never seen the light of day and stays in a box in the cupboard but I'd be furious had we gone all the way to NY for it only to find someone had ruined it for me by dripping their lunch over it!!0 -

They are saying it was not them who dribbled curry over the certificate so have nothing to apologise for.
Also if they had apologised do anyone genuinely believe the OP would have been happy with that.
No, neither do I.
I can believe that, you would not believe what people eat at their desks in offices. I work in one of almost 1000 people, and they don't all use the canteent, that's for sure!It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0 -

I was always eating at my desk - the greasy spoon over the road used to put my full english in one of those styrofoam boxes for me to eat at my desk. I was pregnant and had a thing for bacon and tinned tomatoes with fried bread for dipping (I feel ill thinking about it now, LOL). Luckily I was not dealing with other peoples documents but a few invoices were filed with food marks on them before the boss saw them.Oops.

Oops.
When I was 17 I had an essay back from a teacher with liquid stains on it. She said "Sorry, ONW, it's gin!" Probably the first time I realised that teachers were human beings!0 -

Yes, and it works both ways -- anybody on MSE who is feeling annoyed and irritable gets to take it out on a suitably annoying OP. Everyone gets to enjoy a good shouting match with no damage done to significant others. Free therapy all round -- thanks, internet :-)0
