Stupid little things that bug you

You would think a large supermarket such as Lidl would have a Customer Service Desk.
I had to wait almost 10 minutes at check-out while a lady tried to get a refund on something she had bought earlier that week, but had no receipt or P-of-P. When the store supervisor finally got involved, she didn't take the customer to one side but kept arguing at the checkout point.
One other open till had large tailback and my stuff was already spread all over the counter.

My local one only ever has max two check outs open and no staff in the store to ask where things are , hate going in there but they do banging fresh bread

Yeah, why do they do that?

Stops you doing things then it's sunny all day.

thankfully, the tossers have changed their minds now
or i would indeed have stayed in and been disappointed.
(there are no umbrella shops that i know of in north africa).

Shop somewhere else !!!!
They are cheap because they dont employ enough people.

People called Nigel who wear clothes from Oxfam and hang about bars with young people even though they have a 6 figure income and are the wrong side of 40.

I live in a small west-country town, only other store within 20 miles is a small Tesco.

My daughter raves about their in-store bakery but my local doesn't do, what I would term a normal square shaped loaf, (you know, for morning toast and sandwiches). Maybe it's my age?

Quiz show hosts who say … and if you win some money today what will you do with it ?
Just once I wish a contestant would say … piss it up the wall !!!

‘None of your fucking business, you nosey ****’.

or a "big hand" ?

I bet Jeremy Beadle never said that back in the day.

When TV shows are advertised months in advance but then you don’t see it advertised again until after it’s started meaning you have to use a catch up service to watch the episodes you missed and can’t skip the adverts. Just advertise the week ahead so I can set my box to record it.

First World problem alert..

I know couriers have a very tough job and high targets but WHY do they not use the door bell and instead faintly knock on the door? You can't miss my doorbell lol.

I can only speculate they've been bollocked by shift workers or by mums who's kids are sleeping etc.

Expensive stuff has been left outside the house because they haven't used the doorbell but like I say, its a first world problem.

From knocking on doors on a fairly regular basis when I was working, around 50% of bells don't work (not plugged in, turned off, batteries dead, not wired up anymore etc).

I used to both knock and press together which especially if the bell worked got people to the door in a shot.

Christmas jumpers (or any jumpers for that matter). They look shit, they don't make you look "zany", and if you have a coat with a decent lining, they serve no purpose. Too warm to wear indoors, and the sleeves get wet when you're washing your hands or washing up.
I'm a t-shirt or short sleeve shirt sort of chap all year round.

You’re a dedicated follower of fashion.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

The time between the compere of a usually cheap TV show announcing ' the winner is.....' and actually telling us who the fucking winner is. I could have put the kettle on, had sex with the wife and let the dog out for a wee.

 

[KS55]

I'm definitely not. You'll find me the least materialistic person you'd ever meet, and therefore not arsed at all about fashion.

Twas irony.
