Things that annoy you (16 Viewers)

Self Checkouts, popped into Sainsbury's yesterday got a few items including a bottle of whisky, staff member approved my age etc and took the bottle to remove the security tag then handed it over to another shopper (who gleefully accepted it and scarpered).Then had wait 10 minutes for a staff member over 25 to fetch me a replacement bottle.
These self Checkouts and self scanners must be a shoplifters dream.

Bloody hell! I mean, that’s kinda funny but annoying at the time I bet. Free Whisky!
Yeah, you’d think it’s an easy way to steal loads of stuff.
The Tesco near me has wrapped up a lot of items in strange netting stuff to stop people running off with it. Even things like cheese.

Flimsy crisps, that are not robust enough for dipping!

What you trying to dip them in? Which brand you talking about?

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Super-unnecessary use of the word ‘literally’ eg
It literally gets me super-annoyed. I’ll super-literally die if I hear it again.

It's probably been mentioned before, but able bodied people parking or "waiting for someone" in reserved bays for the disabled, with complete disregard. I don't know about the U.K. but here in Spain it's a far too common occurrence.
Available to download are slogans to put behind culprit's wipers such as "Ignorance is not a disability, please respect those who actually need to use this parking space". Good idea, but you run the risk of a punch in the mouth from those with a serious lack of compassion.

Not all disabilities are visible.

Absolutely right Marty, my disability is not immediately apparent. What annoys me is the non disabled using the bays because they're in a hurry for example or have just stopped for a few minutes to buy cigarettes. There really is no excuse and shows a complete lack of respect, or worse.

I’ll hold my hands up, it was a schoolboy error. I was dipping into Aldi Moroccan style hummus (straight out the fridge) with Walkers roast chicken flavour crisps.

I mean, that sounds like a cracking combo…just poorly executed.

I'll add people using parent child bays without a child.

Forcing athletes to be interviewed straight after a crushing defeat

 

[RedSalmon]

Walked around the Memorial Park yesterday and about 20 yards from a bin was the litter from a McDonalds meal, complete with four bags, burger and drinks containers all left exactly where whoever had eaten them had finished. No effort had been made to clear them up, they had all been left exactly where they were last used. Utter disgrace, I fucking despise twats who do this kind of shit.

Sharon Davies has become quite aggressive and negative - not what you want to hear when you missed out on a medal by 2/100s of a second - there was also a girl in virtual tears last night who just wanted to get away

Fact.

When it's an opinion not a fact.

Who are you to say that they, too, don't have a disability that is not visible?

I am simply someone with a disability who displays his blue badge when using an allocated disabled parking bay and is annoyed by people who have no right to park there. I have no issue whatsoever with disabled people parking there, regardless of their disability. Why would I have ?

 

[Nick]

Surely if they have a disability that means they need to park there they will have a blue badge on display?

If they don't. Its their own fault.

"Over the line" might have mentioned it before but I fucking hate it

I've had enough of the hot weather now.

A few days at WSM spending loads of money, board,food, entertainment (costs a £1 just to go on the pier without £11+ for wristbands) .If you need the loo 30p if you have the right change if not more and you can't even pay by card.
Don't mind paying to use the toilets but 30p or more each visit just to spend what they said used to cost 1p is a bit steep.

“Touch base”

Meeting the other day with drivers and higher management. He said ‘touch base’ and I cringed like fuck. We’re drivers, this is no place for your nauseating office lingo.

Is it true that WSM is the nearest seaside location from us in Cov/Warks? Was always told it was.

Weston super mare, I'm having the latter, I think it's between that and Skeggy isn't it?

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

It's Weston I'm at.Having done both journeys many times distantswise Skeggy shades it time wise Weston just under 2 hours this time.
Clocked it this time 123 from Bedworth with daughter and family she live just over the Tamar (Kingsand ) and it almost equidistant within a mile.
Where I'm staying the internet keeps dropping out think i'll stop posting for the day.

Going to Brighton in a few weeks, 3 hours on the train. The only annoying thing there is the seagull who will swoop down and try to grab any food it sees you carrying.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Do that here seen it.Eat inside is the only answer.
Mind you last night seen 2 who won't be doing it any more.Someone must have put them beneath their car and the road, were fighting back.

Sure it's not a spin-off from Dale Winston's Touch the Truck?

Did a day trip to Brighton last week, never been before. Really enjoyed it, my daughter asked for candy floss on a stick at the pier and the women looked at me like I’d just asked to reenact the Bruce Willis in Harlem scene from Die Hard 3. Convinced me to buy it in a pot instead.

When I was last there we got some doughnuts and foolishly just walked around eating them. You just get descended upon by the pesty fuckers

We go there most summers now, split our time between the pier/front, cultural stuff in the centre and walks along the South Downs. Great place for a week away
