People at the supermarket who decide they don't want something, but rather than return it to its original location, just abandon it on the nearest shelf - not the end of the world if its non perishable to be fair (although it still irks me), but if its something from a chilled cabinet or freezer then they may as well have stolen it since staff won't know how long its been sitting on the shelf and whether its safe to return to the appropriate area.

When I worked in supermarket as a teenager, I would see that a lot. Often happened with filled rolls from deli / butcher counter where the price tag is put on by the server but you pay at checkout. Abandoned in random places. Serious waste. Another manky thing was young lads taking lip balm off the shelf and rubbing it under their armpits - and then putting it back. They weren't sealed like they are now.

I worked in a supermarket for 8 years and this kind of thing was constant (apart from the lipbalm thing- that's VILE, omg!).

People taking all of the packaging off their food when putting it into their car and leaving a trolley full of rubbish, people stealing trolleys, putting icecream on a shelf so that it melted and ruined stock on the shelves beneath, opening jam jars to have a sniff or a taste and then putting them back on the shelf, used teabags/coffee cups from the self-service machine would turn up everywhere you could think of.

We had a bread slicing machine and what did one woman try to put through it?

A f*cking watermelon.

People are maddening. And yeah if I was working there now I would in my hoop be trying to get people to comply with the restrictions beyond the bare minimum "please keep your distance in the queue, thanks" - too many people treat shop assistants like crap as it is without bringing more on themselves. And I was a butcher so at least I could wave my meat cleaver at anyone who got thick :pac:

People giving medical advice on boards when they clearly haven't a clue what they're talking about. If you don't know but you're just giving anecdotal evidence, you're better not giving "advice" at all. I guess some people like to portray they're "experts" on a lot of things.

When you go to buy a pair of scissors so that you can pry something from that God-awful hard plastic blister packaging without impaling your hand or severing your wrist and these are the only ones that are available - they're just playing with us, right? :rolleyes:

Use a can opener, assuming you have one. Although can openers probably also come in this packaging just to annoy you further.

*haha* Yeah - I have to admit, using a can-opener was not something that immediately came to mind the first time I found myself in this situation, but since then I have seen various people on the internet recommend it as an alternative - that said, I still think this is an unnecessarily infuriating (and potentially dangerous) form of product packaging.

TA: hearing my neighbour on a zoom call in the room next door to me.

My TA isn't that I can hear him, it's that I can't make out what he's saying. I might grab a pint glass...

Another shopping one: People (usually women) who take something out of the box to examine it, decide they like it, then take a fresh one in an unopened box to actually buy

Kind of related to this.

My daughter was learning the harp. We borrowed a harp from the teacher (We were going to buy one anyway, but hadn't got around to it). They cost a few grand.

A cleaner we had in to help get the house ready for a family party (cosmetically) damaged the harp, so the teacher said we'd have to buy it for full price. (cleaner turned out to be severely mentally ill, with a history of suicide attempts, so we didn't attempt to pursue her for the costs).

My wife said "But it's damaged! I'm not paying full price for it!" Somehow she won the argument and a discount. Then she said she didn't like the colour of the harp (there were options on the woods and trim), so demanded that we get a different one. She won that argument too.

So we somehow went from having to pay for goods "we" damaged to getting brand new, completely undamaged goods at a discount.

Obviously since she is my wife and it was our money, I wasn't TA'd, but I would be hearing that story under any other circumstances.

"Discerning consumers"

I remember watching one eejit inspect a bottle of wine from a display where there were loose bottles on the top and stacks of boxes of wine underneath so it would be easier to replenish. Unhappy with her selection, she put the bottle back on top and started to pull one of the boxes out from the bottom of the stack. I ran over from behind my counter but didn't make it in time to stop her from bringing half the display crashing down.

I wouldn't mind but all the boxes had the same wine in them!

If some people had two heads they'd be twice as thick.

TA I've read this five times and don't get it. So you got a completely different harp in the end? Is the teacher selling them?

Yes, the teacher was selling the harps (was an agent for the manufacturer) and we ended up getting a completely different, brand new harp (we got to pick the design) at a discount from the original price. It's madness, really.

OH put a chicken in the oven this evening...straight from the freezer. TAd as I grumbled to myself "how does one get to late thirties and not know that you can't just shove a chicken from the freezer into the oven". After a quick Google search I'm now TAd that I managed to get to my late thirties not knowing that you can.

So F off and give me my take out!

A relative told me that another relative was ill (not seriously) and that I should text him and asked if I had his number. I said I had his number but I didn't commit to texting him because we don't have a good relationship and my text might not be welcome.

Anyway, I was talking to the first relative today and she asked if I had texted and I said no, to which she replied that I really should and that he'd like to know I was thinking of him. I eventually relented and sent a token cliched text that I immediately regretted and now I'm annoyed (even angry) with the first person for pushing me.

Basically, being put under emotional pressure to do something you don't really want to do.

Mollyb60 · 14-01-2021 9:38am

Went to order a lamp from a shop last night, picked up a few other bits in their january sale. Get to checkout and half of the order can only be collected, the other half can only be delivered. 'Fcuk sake' I think to myself, 'why can't it be one or the other? fine I'll go in and collect the ones that need to be collected'. Go to arrange collection at the local shop, DENIED. We can arrange click and collect from all our England, Scotland and Wales shops but not any Northern Ireland shops.
No reason given but I'm kinda assuming it's Brexit? I dunno though. Not sure what customs could be due on a jug and a kitchen roll holder. And to add insult to injury, the feckin lamp that I wanted to buy in the first place is one of things you have to collect so I can't even get it. :rolleyes:

Next door are building an extension, the builders merchant lorry arrived at 5am this morning to drop off stuff. It was so loud I was tempted to report them to the local night time noise team. I'm fairly sure it's illegal to make noise like that before 7am.

Not to mention under current restrictions they probably aren't supposed to be there anyway. It's more annoying now because I'm back to working from home and normally get 7-10am in working before she wakes.

If a lorry woke me at 5am I don't think I'd be responsible for what I'd do!

When you stop to sanitise your hands going into a shop and the people behind you walk right up on top of you, don't sanitise their hands and pass you by.
