Went to buy running shoes today after work. They rarely have my size (11) on the shelf, so I usually can't try anything on without asking someone to go fetch a pair. Sure enough, this was the case.

First two shops, no staff on the floor. Spent ten of my precious minutes in each of them trying to get service and there was nobody to be seen (bar the person on the till who was fairly busy in both cases). I wouldn't mind, but I was a guaranteed ~150 quid sale.

Finally in the third place I got someone. Took them a full ten minutes, and three staff members to find the shoes. They kept apologising, but all I could think was "It's totally fine, take your sweet time, this is heaven compared to the other two places".

Got my brand spanking new runners in the end. Hopefully that'll be the end of my stupid lateral overload problem.

For the last time, I've no hangover. I'm actually sick with a viral thing.

The Euro to Sterling exchange rate. I was looking at a lovely handbag but when I check the exchange rate it costs over a 100 pounds and I can't justify that to myself.

The not so trivial annoyance is the shocking exchange rate that Amazon uses if you click the option to pay in Euros, I think it was 40 euro more expensive than it should be.:mad:

My husband said he'd bring me home an Easter egg because I told him I'd murder him if he didn't because he's lovely. I wanted a galaxy egg but then he mentioned rolos. Now I have a rolo egg, the rolos are nice but the egg is manky.

Foxes. We have one visiting our garden some nights. He is doing a lot of digging in the flower beds and destroying bulbs and flowers. Apparently it is the type of fertiliser we used- drives foxes nuts.

He is probably on some fox forum writing about me now.

I'd say they catch a lot of people out like that. Most people probably don't even think before clicking in Euros, let alone check the currency exchange rate in comparison to Amazon.

How do you get around it though?

I almost got caught out too. Box set was 35 pounds or something like that. It was 59 euros after the conversion. I mean....fcuk me like....:mad:

camelcamelcamel.co.uk is handy if you're not in a hurry to get something off amazon it tracks the price and emails you when the price drops to your desired price or lower.

TA that I'm still waiting for my last employment from last year to post my p60 on revenue so I have to wait to claim the tax back!

I dropped into Tesco on the way home from work yesterday to get a few bits. Entering one aisle, I saw there were only two people in it, an elderly couple. The woman was walking like a zombie (the very slow ones) and the husband was beside her, not pushing but pulling the trolley. From the centre of the side, so the length of the trolley was across the aisle. This meant the between the two of them, they were blocking the whole aisle, very slowly.

Why would you do that?

My OH has size 14 feet

La la la la I am just FULL of the joys of spring today ( it's spring now, right?) . It's just glorious out! I'm annoyed that the weather isn't supposed to be good tomorrow during the eclipse, so it'll most likely be covered by clouds.

Dramatik · 19-03-2015 12:40pm

The delivery man that rams his trolly into the door of my shop when he delivers stuff rather than backing into the door and opening it with his back like the other delivery men. I have a wooden door and this ruins the bottom of the door :mad: I've to look out for when he's coming now so I can open the door in time, before he rams the **** out of it.

Wouldn't have been Dunnes Cornelscourt?

Place is notorious for that. And then when you say "excuse me", rather than get the hint and move to the side, they slowly, slowly, slowly turn around to look at you with their jaw hanging down, face tilted back so they can look at you through the glasses perched on the tip of their nose before realising that yes, they may actually be in the way. Usually the husband will then bring the trolley to the side of the aisle to make way, but the wife, not realising what's going on, will then have picked something up on the opposite side of the aisle and will slowly, slowly traverse the width of the aisle to put it in the trolley, still being in the way.

Makes me sound like a horrible person to be angry at elderly people for being, well, elderly, but dammit it's trivially annoying :mad:

One morning when you're expecting him, put rubber matting at the point where he hits the door (to protect it) and then lock it.
Should send a good shock right through his body

I was looking forward to the new series of Vikings starting next week, then I realised I've already seen that one.

Boom_Bap · 19-03-2015 2:12pm

Every driver who drove with lights off, on the wrong side of the road and too fast with the foggy conditions this morning.
Ghost cars everywhere this morning.

No dessert spoons at breakfast, no soup spoons at lunch. What do they think I am, some kind of animal?

PandaPoo · 19-03-2015 2:22pm

I want to go out and get some lunch but I only have notes and no change for the bus. Sh*te.

Rosie Rant · 19-03-2015 2:27pm

When the music in a documentary is so loud it's almost impossible to hear the narrator.

Are you talking about Season 2 or 3? Cause I actually didn't even realise Season 3 was airing at the minute (i don't watch that much TV) so this post brought it to my attention and now I realise I can get 5 of the 9 Season 3 episodes this evening.

Trivially annoyed that I got a sandwich made in the work canteen and the guy just slapped 2 big bits of butter onto one side of the bread, didn't bother spreading it in and then went "And?", I don't think I was channelling my unimpressed face very well..... F**KING SPRAD THE BUTTER IN PROPERLY ON THE BREAD GOD DAMN IT !!!! I DON'T WANT ONE MOUTHFULL OF BUTTER AND THEN 8 MOUTHFULSL OF DRY BREAD!!! GAGAGGRRGRGGHHGHGHHG

I'm up to season 3 but it's season 2 that's starting on History, even though when I Googled it, it said season 3 was starting on History

Oh, well, I'll just have to download em.

And it always seems to be grey cars without lights!!

In my head I imagine those drivers saying " I wonder why everybody else is driving with lights on? Idiots"

Aglomerado · 19-03-2015 2:58pm

When the fúcking toll thinks I've thrown €1.40 into the bucket thing, when I've actually thrown €1.90.

Meaning I have to search for another 50c while a queue builds up behind me.

Twice this week it's happened.

Bastards. :mad:

(Yes I know I could get one of those tag things but I only use the toll road twice a week and it's hardly worth it).

It usually pukes rejected coins into the little cup thing further down. I made 60c the other week "raiding" that on the M8, after the bastid thing rejected a 20c coin.

redfacedbear · 19-03-2015 3:55pm

I've said it before (and will probably have to say it again

) but dipshits who don't know how to drive on to a roundabout - stuck for at least 60 interminable seconds behind an idiot who wouldn't enter until every single car at 12 O'Clock and 3 O'Clock junctions had cleared even though they were being blocked by traffic from the 9 O'Clock junction and he therefore had the right of way.

I learnt that this morning...afterwards!!! I'll be raiding it next week!
I'm getting that € back... FIGHT THE SYSTEM!

(Really annoyed that I was "That slowpoke eejit" at the toll this morning through no fault of my own. )

TA that there is so much advertising on kids tv. The 4 year old only watches about 30 mins of Nick Jr a day, but 10 mins of that is advertising....

fussyonion · 19-03-2015 7:02pm

Chopping onions that are REALLY strong and burning the eyes off me.
I had watering eyes, tears blurring my vision and the stinging! Oh, the stinging!
Couldn't see for ages and of course mascara leaked into said eyes and made things more sting-ier.:mad:

When you are desperately in need of a wee and someone is taking their time in the bathroom!

Smurph90 · 19-03-2015 8:22pm

Meetings in work that take the guts of 45 mins that could easily be done in 5 mins max. Standing around the bosses office like a gob****e waiting to get back to work.

Email tennis with co workers in different time zones that take days to get an actual answer.

No clean spoons in the kitchen in work.

Coworkers who talk about work and ask work questions when your eating youre lunch in the cafeteria.

Found a long lost buddy through Facebook that I hadn't seen or heard of since 1992, so finally we got talking on the phone, he is based in Scotland, but my mobile totally ruined the experience, all I could hear apart from my mate was my own lines being repeated after I said them, it drives me absolutely mad so maybe more than a TA. Is there anyway to prevent that dreaded echo that occurs sometimes in mobile calls its so bloody annoying.

If you stand with one leg ina bucket of water, wear a pair of goggles inside out, and keep a piece of coal in your pocket, onions will not sting your eyes.
