This is a question Now, there was no need for that...

Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

No need
I used to live in a flat in a dodgy area. I came back from work one evening to find that some bastard had kicked my front door in and robbed the place. Loads of my stuff was gone.
I rang the police and they told me not to touch anything as they'd send down C.I.D. to dust for finger prints.

So I was left not being able to touch anything in the front room.
I'd come to the conclusion after four days that nobody was turning up. Well not until about 8:00 a.m. on the Sunday morning another day later. After tearing around to get rid of the bong and the roach ends from the previous nights late session, I let them in to hear them utter the words;

"Nah, it's too dusty to get any fingerprints from here", when the jobsworths turned around and walked off.

After taking the piss by not showing up for five days, waking me up at that unearthly hour, nearly giving me a heart attack, there was no need for that.


I saw the same pair examining the crime scene when I arrived at work a week later. Someone had tried robbing the place and they'd turned up and got the finger print kit out within half an hour.
