Self service check outs are excellent my weekly shop is half the cost now...scan an item, bag it....dont scan an item, bag it.....scan an item, bag it.....don't scan an item, bag it....etc....!MrLargo said:
Sorry mate, I'm guilty of that. Used to try and bag but it always lead to some sort of "unexpected item in the bagging area" issue that meant I had to wait for someone to come over and reset the till for me.Riviera said:People who don't bag as they go on self-service supermarket tills.
I hate those bastard machines but always end up using them cos there's always a queue for the handful of real people they still employ.
Try to avoid supermarkets as much as possible these days. Not cheap, generally an utterly soul-sapping experience, and with the amount of Metro/Express/Local stores they that keep being allowed to open. 25 Sainsburys stores within 2.5 miles of my house, 16 Tescos and plenty more Asdas, Aldis, Lidls and Waitrose

The supermarket truly displays some of the worst of humanity.ForeverAddickted said:
Had one bloke a few weeks ago who put the divider down on the checkout (Was behind me) before I'd finished unloading the trolley, meant that I eventually ran out of room because he was happily loading the belt himself and had to start piling items!!Fiiish said:People who don't put a divider down on the checkout belt once they've finished loading their shopping onto the belt.
Are they thick, rude or just cunts?
Some cunts think it is OK to barricade the section of shelves they are browsing through with a trolley preventing anyone else getting near the products in that area, as if they're terrified someone else is going to buy all other 48 packets of ham before they've decided what they want. Kicking the trolley out of the way usually learns them.1 -

The Post Office or whoever decided that certain forms eg passport etc are only available in SOME rather than all Post Offices.
Why does the Public sector go out of its way to make to add needless hassle and inconvenience to the lives of the people it is meant to serve?
Secondly Royal Mail. I had to pay £13.70 to ensure two letters arrive tomorrow this morning because the ordinary post is so unreliable and generally sh**1 - Sponsored links:

been withdrawing £5 notes from halifax for years. Only problem they don't have a £5 withdraw option...ForeverAddickted said:The fact that no cash machine allows you to withdraw a £5 note - On some occasions I dont want to take £10 out or I may not have £10 in my account in the bloody first place
Even more annoying is when your at a machine, need £5 yet are sure those notes arent available so you take out £10 only to be given two £5 notes!!
I am a HSBC user so wonder if thats a limitation Halifax have set themselves.1 -
When withdrawing, select "other amount " and just type 5Dazzler21 said:

Usually I'll do that at the cash machine and get the message back saying that only amounts of £10 / £20 can be acceptedcafcdave123 said:

Is the Post Office all public sector nowadays? I may be wrong but I think the local ones might be like a franchise.LenGlover said:The Post Office or whoever decided that certain forms eg passport etc are only available in SOME rather than all Post Offices.

Royal Mail, that's what you get when you run a business for profit.1 -
Likewise at a pelican crossing......Riviera said:People who come and join you waiting for a lift and proceed to press the obviously illuminated button that you have already pressed. Like you were just hanging around hoping a lift may randomly appear!

I push 'pushed' buttons all the time cause I trust buttons with no one else's unskilled finger.
It feels awkward when I do it, but I'm always vindicated when the lift arrives or the light turns green.
I try not to gloat about it though.
With partial success...6 -
But the more you press the button (crossing or lift), it realises more people are waiting. Durr.3

I also think it's a bit selfish of him tbh. Appreciate the heartache he's been through over the last couple of years but boxing is a dangerous sport. God forbid he gets a serious brain injury for his kids sake.Greenie said:Rio Ferdinand - just stop, I've just watched your interview, you're 38, you're embarrassing yourself.

He obviously misses her and seeks validation from where he got it before - sport and the media, because she's not there to rein him in or give him her love.
I hope it doesn't end too badly for him.4 -
Agree, combat sports are one of the toughest sports for a young man to participate in, but at 38, forget it, I also watched some of the footage on the focus pads, no timing, no footwork , bloody awful.iainment said:

Most non fighters don't realise how bloody hard pro boxers hit, especially cruiserweights (where he will fight), it's like getting kicked by a mule, I just hope once he gets a couple of big ones he realises it's not for him.

Posters who get a Like or a LOL when they have said they same as you did 500 posts earlier. Surely, admin could go through the posts and transfer the Likes and LOLs to the rightful owner.9

Thanks, but I'll tell you what really annoys me.
