"Can I have two minutes?"

The most over abused question ever. It never takes two minutes, always takes longer and always ends with a WTF moment.

It would be ok if all shops and customers had those 'touch scan' cards...that would make things much quicker.

It waould also be ok if the perpretrators of these hate crimes didn't seem to be surprised by the fact that they would have to pay for their coffee and didn't think to get their card ready until after being told how much it would cost.

Give up coffee. It's not like it tastes nice.

Lax parenting. Mr P is sick and I went to the GP with him this morning for moral support. A woman came in with a kid about 3 years old and let her repeatedly slam the door as a game, used her own legs as a slide for the kid and let her do handstands. It's a GPs not a fcuking creche.:mad:

Click the browser page refresh button and repeat it if necessary. It will then skip past the ad and take you straight to the clip.

Nor do I.

My order has two words. Either black coffee or regular Americano.

Sometimes I'll throw in a third word - stat - but only on special occasions.

Nothing but drug addicts. You'll be robbing your parents before you know it looking for your next hit.

There has been a high street in Sligo since at least the early 1800's...so it came over here a long long time ago!

Yes I know that, there are plenty of places called High st all over the country!

What I meant was usage of the phrase in the media "you can get these clothes/shoes/handbags at High st prices" , "there has been an rise in footfall on The High St since the recession ended" etc. When I was growing up, that phrase was associated with the UK not Ireland.

It also conveniently ignores the amount of shops that aren't on any street anymore, they're in out of town shopping centres.

I work in a very busy betting shop and the amount of times this happens to me on a weekly basis is staggering.

Customer hands over several betting slips.
I process them through the till.

Me: "That will be €22.40c, please."
Customer: "Oh! Eh... Could I get prices on all of those, please?"
Me: "Sure."

Meaning I now have to go back through each bet, scan it, find the price, write the price, circle the price and re-scan the bet (for every single one) and then finish the transaction. All the while there are people lining up behind the person at my till tutting and sighing and rolling their eyes.

In some instances they run up to the counter and SLAP their bet down and go "Throw that in for us, will ya?!" completely ignoring the 6 or 7 other people waiting in line.

It's not trivially annoying anymore. It drives me bats**t crazy!
