    It's raining. That can only mean one thing.

    Everyone walking past me feels the need to fúcking tell me this.

    The company I work for uses ATMs and Self Servs, so when hiring we look for people with experience in using them.
    One guy I interviewed last year on his CV had glowing accreditations for his ability with the machines and understanding of them.
    When I asked him about them in the interview, he knew absolutely nothing about them and that he wasn't allowed to touch them. He was just one of the greeters and directed people to use them.
    That annoyed me.

    jimgoose That's a marvellous idea. Shouting hup two move it move it might actually make bank queues shorter.

    I went into lodge a couple of cheques on Wednesday around lunchtime. The queue was long and there was only 1 teller on the counter. I'll use the quick bank machine and I'll be outta here in no time says I to myself. After 5 attempts of trying to lodge the cheques, the machine spat out two and swallowed the third. So much for automated banking making life easier :(

    Rubbernecking...
    ESPECIALLY when the cars involved in the "incident" (may even just be a breakdown) have been moved off the road and no longer cause an obstruction..
    Or worse still, they slow down to see some flashing lights on the other side of the motorway!

    A**holes!


    My solution is to hire a sniper on a Cherrypicker. Anyone slowing down gets one... just ONE warning shot through the windshield, with the threat that the second one will be more on target. That'll shift 'em!

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    He will be along there shortly once he clears the queue at the bank:D

    Cyclists who don't have lights on their bikes. This is something I've noticed while out for my nightly walks and there are a lot of them. It's really bad when they're on the footpaths too. So tempted to shove one off the path. I'll be attacked for this, but I'll say it anyway, how the fcuk am I supposed to see a brown/black person, dressed in black clothing on a dark bike at night when they have no lights on their bikes? Don't get me wrong it's a big issue with white skinned cyclists as well. They're almost invisible. I thought it was compulsory to have lights on bikes:confused:

    Fcuken no excuse for it. out walking last night and I see the local lycra gang heading OUT for a cycle at about 7.30, and it was dull/overcast then, they are going to be at least an hour, and not one of them (adults) had a hi vis or a light, and they are in the middle of the road. In Dealz, you can get front and rear lights, a hi viz and enough batteries to see you through the winter for under a tenner:mad:

    There's a fella in the storeroom at work that is a bit odd although half the time I think he's putting it on as part of his 'the world is against me' campaign.
    They wear blue lab coats and his one is in ribbons. Today the hole in one of his pockets was taped over with brown duct tape.
    A new one is not exactly hard to come by, we make the bastardin' things and they're piled up to the ceiling!

    When people say "I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on" - it's not!

    I joined Twitter because all my friends have been on it for the last 5 years or so and I seriously can't get my head around it at all. How do ya use these hashtags yokes without looking like an eejit? Feel like a right Granny. I'm 21 FFS.

    How has that changed? I'm not being smart but I was under the impression it was (sadly) still the same?

    This is just a short bit of the new legislation. The fear and distress bit would probably describe the dog howling for hours.

    • Fixed penalty payments for lesser offences

        • discomfort,

    Loud, whiny kids. Was away during the week, and at breakfast one morning in the hotel, encountered some. Whining every time the adoring mother left the table to fetch their latest demand. 'I want...I want...'.
    One was quite small, with the most piercing voice. At one point, adoring mother was ushering him, in slow motion, back to the table, he was carrying toast.
    Some people coming in, stood back to allow the parade, and she said to them 'ooh he loves being independent'.
    I think they would have just preferred 'thanks'. :pac:

    Inconsistent sizing within one shop. I'm bored, and Internet shopping. So, I find myself browsing through river islands website and finding many many beautiful things that deserve a home with me.

    The problem though, is trying to guess how many sizes to go up or how many sizes to go down, using only a photo and description of the material as a guide. I can be two sizes larger than what I think I am or I could be two sizes smaller. It really depends. I just have a feeling ill buy all this stuff, it'll arrive and none of it will fit me.

    Being, *cough*, 'in the mood', planning an 'early' night and arriving upstairs to find the OH doubled over in agony on the toliet evacuating the contents of his stomach due to some bug. Killed the 'mood' quite quickly did that!!
