Supermarkets that have trolleys where you need to put a pound in to release them.
People who use a token instead of a Pound in supermarket trolleys
Where can i get one of those tokens?
Customer service desk. They are free. And normally have a hole in to put on keyring so you always have one for your trolley.
Not sure why using one would annoy someone as you use it, then get it back. No other parties involved.
In the old days it was pound coins only as a deterrent to walk off with the trolley and soon people cheated the system by finding a substitute token.
What's the point of these trolleys at all if you now dish out tokens so folk can go back to nicking them again?
i thought it was just to get you to put your trolly back rather than leaving it half way across the car park where your car was.
but like you say, if they are being handed out for free people wont be bothered about not getting it back and they wont be returned (by some)
Probably a bit of both, tbf. I used to work in Kirkby, Liverpool for three years in the late 80's and that was where I first saw them and a quid was worth a lot more then than it is now, of course.
In Kirkby Co-op, the customers had to leave any bags they had - hand or shopping - with an attendant at the entrance so they couldn't shoplift and booze & fags were all stored behind glass with no customer access - you ordered what you wanted and it was served to you by an employee after you'd paid. Quite an eyeopener for an outsider and on my initial visit to this delightful grocery emporium in Kirkby, the first thing I saw in the aisle was a local lady smacking her kid around the head and telling him to, "Behave, ya little c*nt."
Supermarkets that have people with signs telling you where there is a till with space. I went to my local Sainsbury's this morning and at least 10 tills were unmanned with queues at the manned tills, but THREE of these people with signs were standing in close proximity to each other.
I did point out to the nearest woman that it would be a lot be better if all three actually served customers, instead of just standing there and pointing to the tills with the shortest queue.
Those irritating geordies (or makems) Steve Cram and Brendan Foster metaphorically sniffing Paula Radcliffe's private parts for two and half hours plus.
Nobody disputes that Paula was a great runner but there is such a thing as overkill!
Supermarkets who make misleading claims - Sainsbury's in particular.
Following on from my earlier post about Sainsbury's, I now have another gripe. I had a coupon which said '5X' nectar points if I spent over £30. I spent £49 and expected to get my 49 points and 5 times that number in bonus points i.e 245. In fact I only got 196 which is only 4 times 49.

I'd dispute her as a great, a distinct lack of major championship (Olympic and World) gold medals in her living room cabinet to be considered a great.

That marathon world record of hers alone makes her a great.
It is true that her Olympic record is poor for an athlete of her stature but she has won the world cross country championships as well as world titles for the half marathon and marathon.

No. One MAJOR Gold Medal and a World Record in an event that is run on totally different courses does not make anyone a "Great". She continually failed to deliver on the track in Olympic and World Championships.

Oh, sorry. That's for the things that please you thread.

Happy days!
Particularly annoying when you pay with a note so you can get change for parking somewhere later in the day and all you get back is useless coppers
If it's real bad I will send up the bat warning
Thanks. I've got a bad feeling about this .

They look more like hold ups than socks.
How John Terry wears his socks is the least of what makes him a c***.
