Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

People who use a public stall to have a pee and they prop the door open even when there are free urinals.

Just use a urinal or shut the door please.

HMRC owe me 160 grand for some furniture I supplied them. They should have paid six weeks ago, but a mixture of incompetence and insouciance has somehow prevented them from processing the paperwork, and now "Debbie" is on holiday and nobody else can find anything. I can't help thinking that they'd have been a bit more on the ball if I owed them some money.

****wits.

Stop and chats on supermarket checkouts. This is at a farcical level now. Chatting with checkout person whilst scanning items...fine. Checkout person stopping and chatting before commencement of scanning items, and then a further stop for chatting after customer has paid up is just not f*cking on. My whole raison d'etre is to get in and out of these bloody post modern gas chambers as quickly as possible but these stops and chats between mostly women of a certain age are denting my soul a little bit every time. And then checkout person goes from smiling with previous customer to a complete blank and rush job on me. Stop and chat, them....blank and rush job, me. Can hardly get the items in the bag quick enough. Why don't I get a stop and chat?

C*nts. Automate every f*cking checkout.

This is what really bothers you isn't it?
Perhaps you need to work on your winning smile and dazzling badinage a bit? :wink:

Fake Britain on BBC. Showing us lots of footage of local crime squads nicking people for selling knock off DVDs and jewellery, both very high quality. ****ing hell, have they REALLY not got better things to do with their time? Like, you know, going after proper criminals, not people making a few quid for, essentially, a non-crime.

Counterfeit DVDs? Is there really a market for them? Jeez you can download 4k movies using a mobile phone.

Just interrupt them. I do if it's taking the mickey. Mind you, I did that once and after the customer went, the checkout woman said, 'sorry, he's a family friend and his wife's just died'.

Couldn't agree more. Police now no longer investigate most residential burglary and therefore it's hardly surprising that the detection rate is less than 4%. What criminally inclined scumbag wouldn't feel emboldened with those odds?

Whoops :)

There was one time when the post payment stop and chat was happening, so I got my phone out to check my messages, and the checkout women told me to put it away as it was rude! WTF!
