I have a list, and this is at the top.
I thought the government said they were going to do something about it.
I seem to remember that Thatcher in the 70's asked questions about the likes of Currys charging over 30% interest.
It is appalling, and I do agree with you that the people charging these rates should meet a really unpleasant end.
:veryangry

Very slow walkers blocking footpaths or pavements..... Possibly means the area to walk isn't wide enough. People who fumble for change after being in a queue to pay, then at the point they have to exchange the dosh, start fumbling.... Get the dosh ready in the queue FFS.

***** who walk down a footpath reading their texts and you have to get out of their way.Scum

What's the difference between that and having half naked women draped over some product with no relevance (other than this is clearly for a laugh)?

Solar eclipses

This world, you bigoted f*ck.

Bigotry: Intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.

:D

Interviewers who interview people who have traveled miles to see the eclipse and open with the first question of; 'So, are you looking forward to seeing the eclipse?'.

People who use the self service tills in supermarkets who after scanning their items, just place the items next to where the bags are. Then they pay, then start putting the items in the bags.
Just put the items in the bag when you have scanned them, you Spunkjackets.

The chairman of Wonga is a Tory party donor, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a change

If you put the items straight in the bag, if you lift the bag slightly and decrease the weight on the scale it throws out an error message and you have to call for assistance.

People who beg next to cashpoint machines

Matt Baker on the One show.
What an arsehole creeping twat he is

why lift the bag?

It's pretty simple. Have a bag open on the scales. Place items in bag.

A-f*cking-men! These people should be taken straight outside to the awaiting firing squad. The perfect way to have a cull.

Still takes the same time you thick twats.

So, at the start fanny about with the bags. Yeah that's quicker. :rolleyes:

If you are male and come out of a food shop unable to carry what you have just purchased in your hands (not holding a carrier bag, I mean literally in your hands) then you are either single, sad or a virgin (or all three).

You disagreeing makes me even more adamant only utter wankers act in such a way.

Or just very hungry

So the bags are easier to open if you leave it till the end? :rolleyes: Moving the items twice takes longer not opening the f*cking bags in the first place. They should create self service till areas based on IQ.

No it doesn't.
One smooth movement is much quicker than scanning it, putting it down and then packing.

Must be a whoosh? Moving something once then having to move it again to pack it clearly takes more time than moving and packing it in one motion, that's pretty basic.

Men arguing over the best way to pack their shopping. Just wrong

every time the wife and I go shopping, I try and throw the shopping is bags as quickly as possible, while she has 3 or 4 bags on the go and splits it into fruit and veg, and tins, and cleaning stuff - we argue about it every time

Staff on the till in Aldi and the speed that they put the items through the till, its like their trying to break some sort of world record or something

16 Pot Noodles and 6 boxes of Kleenex.

"So are you looking forward to seeing bugger all you stupid sad no life hippy f*ckwitt?"

If you are a man, surely you leave the food shop with a haunch of venison over one shoulder, a hindquarters of Dexter beef on the other and a side of lamb hanging from your teeth?

In such a situation, where the hell are you supposed to stash your quiche?

Staff on any supermarket till asking "would you like help with packing" I'm a man I can do it ffs.......................

Men can't pack shopping.

Solar Eclipses that are always covered in cloud.

Just don't go too fecking fast!!!!!:)

If I ever go shopping....FFS dog and bark yourself and all that!....I chuck it all in the trolley and pack it into bags at the car, so not holding up the pro's..

Sorry, I'm with your wife on this one. Take your own heavy duty bags, Open them in the trolley, pack stuff into the appropriate bags. Not hard.
I'm not generally keen on online grocery shopping, so the Mrs writes me a list, and I do the shop.

I do all the shopping for my house. I hate it but I'm the only driver and get no help. Bags and bags of stuff. So much so I'm on hello terms with f*cking shelf stacking staff in 4 supermarkets. I also put the stuff away when I get in so f*ck what bag they go into.

In return I will not wash up. Well yes I do if its a couple of plates but other than that no. I HATE shopping and I never ever see any other bloke on their own in supermarkets unless they're buying 16 Pot Noodles and wanking socks.

I don't enjoy it but, like you, I'm the only driver. The Mrs has a license, but no sense of direction or spatial awareness, so her getting behind the wheel would simply be an unintentional Death Race 2000.

:rolleyes: Waitrose - you are there with a trolley full of shopping and they ask if you would like a bag. When you say yes they unroll one!

Sad hungry virgins who can't even dither in asda?? :(:(

People who sit or even worse stand in incorrect seats at football matches, it's an utter disgrace. The amount of times I've had to pull people up on it is a joke. I am in the process forwarding an email to the likes of parish and browlett to give out banning orders to these "scum" who do so. I also hate it when I buy tea in the ground and it's what can only be described as luke warm, it's ridiculous! Some people just don't care.

Waitrose? What's that? I've just been denied buying durex in my local co-op.

:D

Who do you think puts it on the shelf? Honestly, save yourself a couple of hours every week. Surely chancing whether your Banana has been up someone's arse or not is worth the risk?

It's not about them touching up my tomatoes or buggering my marrow. It's about trusting their eye for quality.
You obviously haven't got a wife and three kids. If you did, you'd understand how valuable those 'couple of hours' are..:)

Actually I do, but I'm a lazy bastard. ;)

Sending emails to Parish/Browett about this...


what a wally

Wouldn't get away with it with my Mrs. :(

I may have to include your name in the email for calling me a wally. Vermin like yourself deserve no place on such a great forum like this.

Ask them what their seat number is and sit there instead.

Don't tell them your name Pike:clown::clown:

Yep. Have exactly the same argument. I say that we'll be home in 10 minutes. How can it possibly matter? And then she packs everything neatly in the car for ages. We're only going around the corner.

What annoys me at the mo is car drivers that don't or don't correctly indicate whilst on a roundabout:veryangry

Football pundits that say a player is just on when its plain to see the player is off side

EFA

Drivers who cut corners when turning right

Drivers that don't indicate when turning

Drivers who don't indicate then cut corners

Yous are both wrong.

Segregating the bags saves time putting it away at home. Eg yous can take your bag of tins and shove them in the tins cupboard. However the correct time-and-motion approach is to segregate the items as you unload them from the trolley onto the till.

I hate people who, when on a train that's filling up, don't sit by the window.

Also women (yes it does seem to be almost exclusively women) that sit in the outside of the 2 seats (the rows that just face one way) in the hope that it will prevent anyone sitting next to them. If you don't want anyone sitting next to you either stand or don't travel by public transport in the first place.

The problem with doing that is that the person on the till invariably stretches over your carefully organised shopping to pick up something in the wrong order

most days this is what annoys me

With the added problem that things stay at the front and the belt never moves forward, so the poor sod behind (usually me) can't start unloading THEIR shopping.

Families like the one down the road that buy a house with enough room for 7 or 8 cars on the drive but have more cars than they can park on their drive.

to the right?? ;)

Dear God yes, especially when they park directly opposite my drive on a fairly small road making it difficult to reverse in to my drive, how can 2 people need 6 cars. Its not surprising that both parents are obese and the son is the size of a large camel

All these shopping annoyances: don't you lot have those scanners you can take around and scan and bag as you go? Coupled with scanner only fast track tills and boom! You're out of there in minimum time with bags packed on the go in whatever order you want.

What is this strange new world of which you speak, CT?

Self service tills are the work of the devil. 'Unexpected item in bagging area' it's what I've just purchased you stupid machine it's not like I've just placed a small baboon there is it.
they drive me mad when I mistakenly decide to use them they don't speed things up and do people out of jobs

People that use words like "hysteria", "tragic" and "pathetic" to describe posts that express an opinion they don't agree with.

Thierry Henry's fvcking stupid watch

:D


Connecticut

Sorry but I do this, I hate being penned in by the window and if I'm first to an empty set of seats then it's my choice where to sit.

Bet in play...... NAAAAAAAAAHHHH

makes me cringe everytime

Football grounds that have rugby markings on the turf. I mean FFS we can put a man on the moon 45 years ago but we can't manage to rub out some white wash on grass.:grrr:

When the pitch as Wembly was ******* wrecked by American football the week before and the national team, in their stadium had to play on a pitch that looked like they had spray painted a freshly ploughed field. Was raging that day

Especially on a late train home and you get penned in by someone who has consumed a fair amount of alcohol and is snoring on your shoulder :D. Trying to escape can take time and can potentially make you to miss your stop.

Tesco have these.

People who refer to Liverpool v Man Utd as the English Classico.

Shopping bag connundrum

one word:

wife

That Pellegrini always looks like he's stoned out of his mind. What's wrong with his eyes?

People who cannot owe up to their wrong doings or destroy valuables with no accountability whatsoever.

Exactly. Waitrose.

Scan your own shopping as you go round, go to your own till, swipe card, pay and go.

No 'Hello, how are you today?' at the till. None of that nonsense. Just shop, pay and go, without any human intervention at all.

Perfect.

I'm the opposite of you! I put everything into order so I don't mix raw with ready to eat and ensure that when unpacking, ive already got items nearly in cupboard order, saving me time when I'm at home.

A bit anal, admittedly!

Ah, that's easy. Preempt it. Checkout Queens always grab the item closest to them, so when starting a new section, make sure that you place the first item from the next bag furthest away from them in the line, then they follow your pattern.

If you get the rare checkout maverick who scans in no chronological order, then have 2,3 or even 4 bags on the go at any one time. Never let a Till Lady ruin your organisation. You'll regret it when you get home.

People running through the City.

People who constantly whinge about the trains .

It can be annoying but the staff are told to do it and monitored so I always respond politely .

People who go out to read the Sunday papers in a coffee shop.

Frigid women.

Chelsea fans.

Family members who never refill the kettle or change toilet rolls etc .

I think they sort of are mate. They must have performance targets for how many sales they put through per hour. I make a game of it and always try to sling everything into the carrier bags faster than they can scan it so I beat them at their own game and try and get them to go even faster by giving them that 'is that as fast as you can go?' look :)

So what if the bleach goes in the same bag as the grapes. No way am I putting all that into the trolley twice and taking it out twice just so they hit their targets. I can pack it as fast as they can scan it anyway, as long as you arent fussy and you pre-open the carrier bags while you are waiting to be served its easy.

Amen brother

I know mate you may as well just reverse your car up to the till and let them sling it in

Satellite dishes everywhere , They are ugly and show boring some peoples lives are .

That'll be the next thing won't it. I'm going to suggest it on dragons den. Have raised checkouts with chute-like slides that you reverse your car into like loading bays :)
