They have no clue when it comes to excel equations. Now this was truly a Fail "my pc wont work, I have restarted it 3 times and I still cant see anything on the screen" so the teacher walks over and says "your screen is not on". Really how stupid can you get not to notice that the screen is turned off.

Look no further than MTN for great deals and packages to get you online! It means savings and a whole
lot of added value, such as the Dell mini 10 Netbook with MTN F@stLink 75MB @ R209 per month!
MTN Deal and Price Fail?
EDIT: This thread needs some sticky glue.

R209 x 24 months = R5016.00
75mb data bundle 49 X 24 =1176
So you are paying for the modem and netbook = R3840
+ additional data bundles
Very possible.....if they got the netbooks on the cheap, rather sneaky 75 MB catch.
You sir just acquired a fail in a Non-PCF fail thread. !

So this one is dedicated to the tool that lives in my complex. After spending a lovely day out with my wife and returning home at 11pm on a Sunday evening, there in my clearly marked parking space is a black merc, registration "MD 01 GP" (grr). Nothing to stress about right, I'll just inform security who will kindly request the gentleman to remove his obviously misplaced vehicle. Well, 3 phone calls and a visit from the security team later and this knob refuses to move. I have never in my life being that close to flying off the handle, if my wife wasn't there there would have been a Jon sized hole in the door of their apartment and me inside laughing maniacally beside a scene from Dexter. Body corporate received a wonderfully descriptive email this morning.
I would have considered paying for a tow truck if it was me

This is the most annoying thing though - security have no access to a tow-service or even something as simple as a wheel clamp, so if the owner refuses then we politely get told, "Sorry, he won't move". I mean really, I almost tried my hand at some impromptu German re-engineering of the tyre spanner variety.

These days people have no consideration for others.
Why did you waste your time calling security? I would have walked over there to his house and asked him if he valued that POS in YOUR driveway and he needs to move it ASAP!
If he still refused, then I would have dragged him out by his hair to his car and MADE him move it!
Shees! IDJIT!

I can supply you a wheel clamp at a really good price...
But seriously.
The poor sods from security have a bit of a liability issue - so they can't have the car towed or clamped. If the owner of the vehicle later claims that the vehicle was damaged in any way the whole matter will become even uglier.
Fitting one of these will help but it is a schlep to get out of the car every time and who's willing to spend upwards of R2k to safeguard their parking space?
I think you did the right thing contacting your body corporate - now pee on his windscreen tonight!

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

While I generally do not condone vandalism or malicious destruction of property - but when told you are using somebody else's property or otherwise wrongly inconveniencing them you move.
Failure to do so makes you a bad person and somewhat deserving of whatever petty crime comes your way.
The thing that got to me is the arrogance of the individual involved. While I don't condone what he did, if he came running down, moved his car and said sorry, the issue would have been done and sorted. But to blatantly defy orders that are substantiated by the code of conduct for the complex is just pathetic. While the petty vandalism does seem like the way-forward, it's really easy for the degenerate to notice that it's my car that belongs to that parking and then I wake up one morning to smashed windscreen. Temper aside, that's why we pay the body corporate.
We had these insanely difficult to remove big red stickers at my previous employer... one or two on a windshield is the biggest pain in the back-side ever (this used to be normal practice if anyone stopped on the wrong parking spot at work)...

The Body Corporate is under obligation to sort this out. When I was a member of one of these, we simply fined the owner R500, this was then added to his levy. If he refused to pay it was raised to R1000 including interest. If this guy is renting he will be in for a shock when the owner adds the amount to his rent.
We never had a situation that could not be resolved.
That wheel clamp thing would have been nice for my work on Thursday. some guy/gal decided that it was after hours and it would be ok to block our driveway. this prevented a few of us from leaving as we were working late.
Eventually i decided to drive over the pavement and then into the road. someone else said they would be calling a tow company but not sure what happened. i had this urge to deflate all their tires.... feel i should have done it.
This goes to a friend of mine. So today we are sitting in the canteen and it is almost the end of the day so everybody is a bit tired. Now the person in question is sitting reading a magazine when all of a sudden the chair just disintegrates and he ends up on the floor on top of what was one the chair. It was really random which only made it more funny
Assuming that they leave the petrol flap open and the cap unlocked?
Many years ago when I was a student I had the same problem, some idiot parked on my space once or twice a week. So one day I got some sticker paper and printed a really vulgar image on it and some obscure message to scare him away. I stuck it on the windscreen and decided to hide by the stairs to see what happens. To my shock and old lady unlocked the car! She got in, paused for a while, and started screaming and ran back where she came from Needless to say I had to disappear because angry people found their way to my flat!
