You should say to them "You are more than just a number you tit"

Bothers me too, philistines, they probably have the attention span of a lightening bolt. Off with their heads.

Tosspot yourself :P

But seriously, why? Surely it's better to know straight away if you've accidentally dialled a wrong number, no?

And before you say "Well, they could answer with, I dunno, they're family name or something" yes, they could, except there could be more than one family with that name :P Ok, yes, that's a rather far-fetched possibility I admit, but I still don't see what's so aggravating about answering the phone with the number.

surely you'd know by the voice no?

what grinds my gears, women using the self service lanes in tesco's when they are clearly marked 5 items or less and they have a fecking trolly with them.

Not necessarily. People can sound very different over the phone, and not everyone you ring is someone you know well

Now *that* I agree with, although I've never noticed that it's women more than men. Also never noticed that the self-service lanes are specifically "X items only" but yes, the "10 items only" lanes being used by people with 15 or 20 items is a pain in the neck!

I am not a number, i am a free man!

My grandad answers the phone with his number, i actually tried it for a while but always felt a tit. I generally just say "hello" now like a common pleb

also ever notice how the wimin go fishing for the cash/card after they've packed it all up and the cash/card is always so far away it's normally check pockets, check bag, check purse, check bag again, find make up brush, look in bag again finally find money, whereas with a guy it's whip out the wallet and magically there's a payment method there.

And how our lovely girls wait until they are on the bus before starting the search for change. "Didn't you know you were getting on the bus?"

And furthermore, they wait until everything is scanned before they start bagging.

Niamho!

Now why would I bother doing that?!
It takes effort

Mr. Presentable

Thanks CSG, that's another thing that that winds me up.

Search doesn't work properly

I never heard anyone answer the phone by saying the number ('cept on the telly). what wankr did that? that's as bad as answering like in the cosbies or something. "cosby residence". even the kids answer it like that making them easier prey for sexual predators who will exploit the fact that they know the ma's name is missus cosby etc.

way to go bill u fukcing muppet.

Saves valuable time that would be spent ripping them so that you can...erm....do something?

*shrugs*
I gave up trying to understand the myriad of stupid things that people do, it's just not worth it.
