Britain's Self-confessed Biggest Moaner Rakes In £1k A Year By Complaining
The dad-of-one's crusade began three years ago when he first complained about a marble table worth £650 that was delivered and damaged three times. The fourth time the table top was missing. In return for his moan Chris received £200 for the inconvenience - almost a third of the price of the table. It was then he realised the extra fuss could be worth cash.
How much can you get from complaining, ON average Chris makes £1,000 a year - but the amount varies massively. There are lots of little things that he complains about on a regular basis that all add up. Complaing about hygiene standards in coffee shops - £42 a year: If you see a filfthy tray or dirty loos in a coffee shop, it's worth complaining and asking for a discount. Complaining about waiting time - 10 per cent off: Waiting to pay but there's no one at the till,
Ask if you can get a 10 per cent discount for the inconvenience. Complaining about rude staff - £68 a year: If you feel like you've been badly treated by staff at bank or retailer ask if you can see a manger. They might give you a discount for poor customer service.
In total over the last three years Chris has made £2,900 - almost £1,000 a year on average. But the amount that he earns from making a fuss varies, depending on how much time he has to dedicate to moaning, as well as how generous the companies feel. For example, in 2015, Chris got about £637 in refunds, freebies and vouchers. The next year he nearly doubled his winnings to £1,194. His most lucrative rewards come from two things - dodgy, cold or late food as well as poor customers service.
Chris made back about £70 alone moaning about mayonnaise in burgers - one of his personal challenges. Most of the time waiters get it wrong and I end up waiting for my food. Sometimes you need to be very firm with a company. My kitchen could have been burnt to the ground.
Baking low and slow is the secret to these fall-off-the-bone oven baked ribs. Jump to the Fall-Off-The-Bone Oven Baked Ribs Recipe. Or watch our quick recipe video showing you how we make them. Some might have the impression that ribs are one of those dishes that should be left to the “pit masters” — it’s just not true. Baking ribs in the oven is seriously easy.
All you need is time — 95% of the recipe time is sitting back and relaxing waiting while the ribs bake. We learned how to make oven baked ribs from Steamy Kitchen and have never looked back! So we suggest you prep the ribs, pick out a favorite movie, open a beer and relax until done.
These baked ribs are so easy — all you need is a little time. We bake the ribs before adding any sauce, once baked you can brush on your favorite barbecue sauce or make ours. For the most tender ribs, we like to remove the thin membrane covering the rack.
It can be a bit tough when cooked and since we really love ribs that literally fall of the bone, the membrane has to go. To remove it, use a knife to gently slide under the membrane then using your fingers pull the membrane away from the bones. If slippery or difficult to remove, use a kitchen towel to take hold of it and pull.
