TA my local shop is an utter joke. You walk in and you have a huge costa that sell mediocre slop for extortionate prices. That's fine, I ignore that. They have a decent enough deli and then they have the tills like every other shop. The deli to the tills takes about 15 steps.

This morning (I'm in awful humour) I had a late start in work so I headed down to the shop for fuel and decided to get something at the deli. I only had my card with me. She wouldn't charge for the fuel from the deli till and wouldn't let me pay for the food at the fuel till.

I was like that's okay and was walking away from the deli leaving her with the roll filled with mushrooms and she called me back to ask me if I was taking the roll.
Not unless I can pay for both together hun!

Seriously I know that's mad petty but I don't even care. I hit the disappointed face on the "how did we do today" thing by the door three times on the way out.
Then drove to the shop the other side of my house and bought the roll down there. So it was still two transactions but I felt a bit better about it

(The deli isn't part of costa)

What is it about friends announcing pregnancies that makes you suddenly so hyper aware of your current life and you become so introspective? Two of my friends are comparing baby scan pics in our WhatsApp group. It's lovely and I'm so delighted for them. But meanwhile I'm browsing asos for an elf onesie and eating beetroot from a jar which has dribbled all down my top.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm working from home today at 30 weeks pregnant and wearing my eating pants (Lidl knitted Christmas leggings that stretch like nothing else on earth), an oversized t-shirt from an open water swim I did in July and slippers just because I can... :pac:

TA'd that DPD UK are still playing silly buggers. They were specifically told by the escalations team that after a week of their bull**** that they should deliver my double pram before 5pm today. They gave the delivery slot after 5pm when I'm supposed to be doing the nursery run. I took a work from home day for this and I'm still subject to yet another round of their crap. It's now taken 11 days for them to get a pram to me that was on 24 hour delivery.

My wife, like a lot of women I know, gets trivially annoyed when us males ask the question beginning: Do you know where my......?

I get TA'd when, like yesterday, in order to avoid asking the incendiary question I spend two hours looking for my computer specs including driving to the Gym to see did they fall out of my coat there, only to discover that, as per bloody usual, they were 'tidied away' somewhere new. You know what girls, lose your fear of the Tidy Police and leave our shít where we left it and maybe we won't have to ask the dreaded question!!

I’m much too young * shakes fist at cruel cruel world *

Happened to me too, science says it cant be helped it's in the Celtic genes. If anyone queries this I add, "Yeah, I had only a sprinkling, till I spent two weeks, holding my dying dad's hand in a hell hole hospital", (tho that is specific to me) but it tends to make the pass-remarkable types pull their heads in.

Ta, I'm trying to support a charity, buying their Christmas product, I cant get the debit card through Paypal and the charity will not take cash/po! a charity that will not take CASH, did I miss something?

Probably an effect of the charity scandals. Cash is VERY easy to miscount or misappropriate, this charity is probably trying to ensure they have traceability which unfortunately, due to the difficulties you came across, might mean they lose out on donations.

That hadn't crossed my mind, it could easily be the issue. Tho major TA means the person I promised to buy this for, who has dementia, will probably have a meltdown cause of it.

Well, is it worth contacting customer support at the charity or paypal for some assistance. 5 minutes on the phone with the right person should be able to sort this. I'd start with the charity. Maybe they would take payment with a card over the phone.

My mouse button is having the effect double clicking when I single click.
This is the most annoying thing ever.

my local shop has a sizeable "Frank 'n Honest" machine.....Simply disgusting coffee if you ask me. And the person behind the deli counter at the other end of the shop is keen to point out..."it's not us"

"Go home, mouse, you're drunk!"

Any chance someone might have changed your mouse settings when your back was turned?

Does beetroot help with fertility??

TA'd by an excel task in client analysis that I've been putting off for about two months because I don't UNDERSTAND EXCEL. It's hanging over my head like a rain cloud. I DON'T WANT TO DO THE SPREADSHEET STUFF WAAAAAAAAHHHHH

I tried that, got a "computer says" type response.

Ta, Ppl tell me not to bottle things up, so I told my friend last night about the car I was in mounting a pavement in the dark and lashing rain, his response, "ah, X strikes again". Yup ppl, that so "helps":mad:

Went into the post office and the queue was really long and everyone had loads of parcels etc to post. Then it came to my turn, all I wanted was a stamp and an envelope. This crazy Russian person who was before me in the queue came back to the window and started pushing me aside waving her receipt in her hand. The whole time I couldn't talk as this woman kept trying to talk over me. Unphased the clerk just continued to do her job. Jesus Christ like all I wanted was a stamp and I wasn't even given the time to buy one due to this mental person pushing and shoving. The stress.

Really screwed for my exam Saturday. Can't wait for this year to be over tbh. I've never heard of a student hating university as much as I do, it's turned me off education completely

Public bathrooms that have handles on the door for when you leave, not much point in washing my hands if I have to use a germ riddled door handle that is used by all those dirty bastards who don't wash their hands.

Why can't they have just have a door you can push open without a handle.

Wurly · 07-12-2017 05:07PM

When you buy a bag of monster munch and they're about as spicy as a pint of milk. If they're not bright orange, you know yer in trouble!

The fact you can't get Beef M.M in Ireland and on trips to UK I look like a drug mule only with snacks.

To add to this, all toilets in public bathrooms should have a foot peddle on the toilet to open the lid like you have on bins.

Overflow car park in work is about a 10 min walk from the office.
I usually can’t get my lazy a$$ up early enough to get a space in the office car park.

Today I was early, loads of spaces available outside the office, reversed in and all for a speedy exit.

The dope that I am, out of habit walked all the way to the overflow…. in the pi$$ing rain and then back again to insert my damp self into my perfectly positioned car.
