People who sit in the middle lane of the motorway doing 60 when there is nothing else on the road This new trend of people nudging out half way across the road when they are coming out of a side road forcing every other bugger to stop - wait your turn Pubs that bring your food over to your table but expect you to then get up and get your own cutlery The busy Petrol Station at Hunton Bridge where one bloke is serving and there is a huge queue waiting to pay. The other assistant always appears when it is too late! Other than that I am really very happy with life. New job, newish Girlfriend, financially stable and got my VXT!!

Having to cover your own arse all the time. Ok, for most of us it must come naturally these days i know. But some lying scumbag had me questioning my own sanity today....purely and simply because he fcuked up and decided to lie his way out of it. He lied to clients, consultants, my boss and his boss...and to me face to face in front of others which fcuked me off no end. As with all liars he got caught out in the end by his own web of deceit....and for once I'm going to look forward to written apologies from a few people who tried jumping on the bandwagon. /

people who walk into you while walking backwards talking to other people! f*cks me right off.. people walking down stairs 2 up chatting and dont even attempt to move aside to let you through causing you to hurl yourself flat against the wall.. people parking in non car park spaces at work to save 20 yards.. if they are that lazy the fuckers need the exercise imho!.. I mean.. 2 white line... inbetween.. HOW HARD IS THAT!!!.. I may elbow someone at work tom.. sick of it!

I can beat that smiler...and mine for that matter Totalretardfcukwitossersthatwhistleinthenomusicallowedoffice And usually its a 10 second ditty That goes around and around and around in my head until the next whistled ditty Today was a whistled version of:- Eaaaaaaaaaaaaarnie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west... Followed 15 mins later by: Can't remember, but it was a 60's song of some description. Barstewards

People who have worked for a huge public service in this country for longer than is good for them or the service. I'm sorry but this isn't the 70's and that "you can't touch me I'm part of the union is complete bo*(*(ks. If there were some managers with b@//s you'd all be sacked and people employed who are enthusiastic, imaginative and dynamic. Yep I used to work in the private sector and I've had a Godawful week over Thanks for listening NEXT!!

Poor customer service. Unfortunately I had the displeasure of visiting a local Co-op corner shop at the weekend. Just for a pint of milk and a paper. Was stood at the counter for a full two minutes before the YTS stumbles over without a word of apology for keeping me waiting or an acknowledgement that I was there. Failed to tell me how much I needed to pay for the items and didn't even acknowledge the handing over of cash. Was given my change in a similar manner and I was fully expecting to complete my first silent transaction. But no... "take the basket with you and leave it by the door on your way out" My word, she speaks. Half tempted to wittle on about this being my day off and that's what she's there for but instead went for a simple look of disbelief and a slow shaking of the head. And another thing... Just paid for my early morning Costa and as seems to be the trend these days, I was given my change on top of the receipt. What happened to the days when the change was counted back to you and the receipt given after. Change on top of the receipt is a pain. This country.

[Smiler]

I find in most euro countries the change is just flung on the counter.. think yourself lucky ya maoning git!

This country

NEVER!

Besides, it was meant to come across as an ironic Alan Partridge style..."This country".

That's what you'd expect from Jonny Foreigner, this is Great Britain I'll have you know.

Drama queen lorry drivers - I'll never get up there. - Bollocks, we had a 50' close coupled car transporter up there the other day. - Nah, you couldn't get one of those round there. - Do you want me to show you how to drive? - I'll try it but I can't promise anything. a short time later..... - Oh look, there is a surprise. Just made it with only feet to spare. Once upon a time lorry drivers took a pride in being able to put their vehicles anywhere. The new generation just seem to be sh*t.

Aha!

God this annoys me

You pay for something, proffer a fiver or whatever and get back a piece of paper with a vast metal slagheap on top. You are then standing there, goods in one hand, sliding change in the other, wondering how the hell you get all this stuff back to where you want it. It's a bit like being at a cocktail party and trying to eat a sausage roll while holding a wine glass and paper plate at the same time

Your options are
- try to slide the change off the top of the receipt gently into your wallet. Even assuming you can get hold of or open your wallet, the inevitable result is that half of it goes on the floor. You then have to decide if you can be arsed bending down to pick up the change
- use your third arm to pick up the change and put it in your back pocket
- eat the change or store it in your mouth until you get home

Brilliant synopsis of the situation!

A candidate for Grumpy Old Men.

Thanks for confirmation that it isn't 'just me'!

JimH and the rest of the bloody damn "do-gooders".

That's the first time I've ever been called a do-gooder.

I've now got to the stage where I stand staring at them until they remember their manners and tell me how much I owe them.
