    I havent looked at previous posts but I am going to guess you are talking about Charlotte Church?

    People who don't have their money ready when paying for something and have to route around.

    Old people with lots of change when paying.

    People who do a full weekly shop and use the self service tills and then don't have their money ready!

    To be fair ONW, when one looks like Whitney (pre Bobby ) you can get away with it

    People who insist on giving a running commentary on tasks they are about to undertake.

    There's an insufferable subwit who works in my office who sounds like this (on a loop):

    "OK, so I've finished that email, I think I'm going to maybe call John."

    "I think I'll go and talk to Julie when I've finished my sandwich."

    "I wonder if I'll have time to go to the toilet before I go into the Boardroom".

    I DON'T GIVE A FCUK! :mad:

    My mother thinks the washing machine works by walking by it and saying "We really need to put a wash on" only for me she wouldn't have a stitch to wear....

    Saw a guy pick up a scone in Super Valu with his hand (despite a plastic tong being right in front of him!) and decide he didnt want it. He put it back and picked up another one, again with his hand. Scumbag!

    Don't know if it can be classed as trivial because they do my fucking tits in big time but automated customer service lines are going to give give me a coronary one day!

    Press 1 to do this..

    press 3 to do that...

    FUCK OFF!!!!

    It is literally a game of chance that you eventually stumble across an option that gets you through to speak to somebody these days! Vodafone and O2's are a joke! And if you think you will be making a simple call to the Revenue you are sorely mistaken!

    Minimum donations for charity collections. The daffodil day collectors were looking for 3 euro today. I don't want a metal pin, I'm happy with a sticker or nothing at all. I'm not handing over 3 euro and I'd say a lot of people walked past when they saw the price too. I'm happy to put some coins in the bucket but this nonsense of charging for a badge is nuts.

    It's worse when they squeeze the crusty rolls then put them back, it makes me want to scream at them.

    I personally find this unforgivable. I think I'd want to go over and squeeze his face if I was privy to such an act of vileness. :mad:

    :D:Dpissin meself here, I was walking past them earlier, and all I had in coin was a 2euro, smiled at your woman and said "There you go, my last two euro", she just kinda looked at me, and never offered a sticker/badge .....I thought, what a miserable ****e, but then though maybe she is sick, or has someone close to her who is sick, and thought no more about it. Now the penny has dropped....There will probably be a thread for "Scabby less than minimum donating fcukers who think their poxy coin entitles them to THE BADGE"

    Why 3 quid? that means having to have 2 coins in your purse... 2 quid makes more sense, your more likely to have 2 euro than 3 euro handy and to be honest more likely to give away the one coin

    Sounds like she knows exactly how it works. Sounds more like sinister mother

    Spin. I was watching a guy talking about Kate Bush on Sky news earlier. Apparently she'll be singing some of her old stuff in a lower key which he described as ' a re-imagining of her work'. Then he managed to keep a straight face while saying that she's a feminist icon for not letting the industry sexualise her, all this while ignoring her dressed in a chainmail bikini for the song Babooshka:rolleyes:

    Don't get me wrong, I like some of her old stuff and I've no problem with women sexualising themselves or not. I just hate spin.

    Funny, the reason I was in Super Valu (seeing the scone handler!) was that I had €2 and saw that it was a minimum of €3 to donate so I said f*ck'em and was going to buy myself a cake!

    Still have the €2 in my pocket, damn you scone handler!! Oh, and damn you minimum €3 donation!

    I was wondering about that - "Who dusted Belinda Carlisle off and stuck her up on a stage again?". I loved her old one hit wonder songs too, but last I heard of her was about ten years ago when I read a story about her doing a small gig in Tokyo for a group of Japanese businessmen who had no idea who she was, even when she launched into "Heaven is a place on earth"! :pac:

    It's often a source of much amusement how Japanese people go wild at airports for celebrities. They have absolutely no idea who the celebrities are, but they just go wild anyway! It's one of the reasons why unknown celebrities will tour Japan after a stint in the G.A.Y. club in London :D

    Must see if I can dig up the story...

    Oh but I am the crankiest shopper in the world. had such a row with a shopper today that a security guard had to step in!
    Three in front of me I had the 'don't start packing til ALL your items have been scanned and then try to find your purse'
    Then I had the 'run back into the shop for several things you've forgotten and don't apologise for the delay to others'
    So I was getting agitated:eek:
    Then the two late teen girls in pyjamas (It was 4.30) had a trolley full of Monster Munch, Rancheros, Pringles, vodka and one jar of baby food decided they would not start loading onto the belt until they had finished their respective phone calls. They ignored several attempts by the assistant to get them to start unpacking so I lost it , roared at them to 'get off the ****ing phone!' They told me 'to **** off' right back and with that the assistant called security to assisted them very swiftly through their transaction and out of the shop.
    Sometime I hate people:(

    Did you actually offer a donation?
    I ask cos I did the lollypop day thing a few weeks back and I took what ever the hell people offered. The charitys don't have a log of how much they give you to sell so I was lashing out lollies for what ever was offered.

    Yazoo chocolate milk.


    Yazoo chocolate milk can suck my balls.

    It tastes like proper chocolate milk mixed with chalk.


    It takes up the space where the real chocolate milks should be.

    **** you Yazoo.

    I had a 2 euro coin in my hand and as I put it in I went to pick up a badge and saw that everyting on the table had a 3 euro price tag on it, so I just put the money in the bucket, smiled and kept going.

    Lies. Blasphemous, outrageous lies.

    If I was told I could only eat/drink one thing for the rest of my life it'd be yazoo chocolate milk. My life would subsequently be short, and one of obesity and diabetes, but it'd be worth it for that sweet sweet yazoo.

    Try the paralympics people, had one of them giving me this big speech and they told me the least they can take is 10 euro by debit/credit card.
