when you realise that 7.5 million uk peeps are illiterate, then you begin to see the basic problem.

unfortunately you are correct

Good grief!

And they still left you a neg because they though you wouldn't do anything?

Some people are simply beyond help.

It just shows that even when you do everything right and are prepared to go the extra mile you'll still get some numptie who's not satisfied.

eg. a classic numpty.
i was in a very large national retail store one day (as a sub contractor). a woman was on her mobile talking to her daughter about an item for sale, and was asking her opinion. her daughter must have asked her which shop she was in.
the woman turned around to me and asked me, "where am i, please?"

she said it was because i didn't have a return policy so she didn't see the point in contacting me

I think it's true that we just have to expect this sort of thing to happen from time to time. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm waiting for it. Too many people have an inability to take responsibility for anything or be able to put themselves in other peoples' shoes.

Only yesterday I saw a woman trying to change her child's nappy in the middle of shop. When asked to leave she muttered on about having to do it in the rain and the child would catch a cold. She only had to cross the road to Debenhams who have baby changing facilities.

Illiteracy is indeed a serious problem in this country.

I have corrected your post for you. I let you off starting a sentence with “And”.

As you're being pedantic...
Numpties, surely... and last I heard you shouldn't start a sentence with 'and'
