Post minor things that bother you

More shop stuff!

People who stand there watching their shopping go through rather than packing it. After I tell them the total they then proceed to pack before they'll pay. If I try to help them pack they complain and tell me to stop! :\

People that don't know the difference between a debit card and a credit card!

People that complain about the person in front of them being slow (due to paying by card) only to take longer to pay a lesser amount by cash!

1) 'Posting this from my iPhone' - really? Not just a, you know, normal phone but an iPhone? **** off.

2) Computer specs in online sigs. Yes, I understand it can be helpful to other posters who are trying to help you and therefore don't need to ask you what you're running but it still annoys me.

3) The guys and girls who put junk mail in our letterbox even though it says 'NO JUNK MAIL' and we instantly throw it away. Come on New Zealand, let's move away from flyers for supermarket promotions and all the other gubbins you insist on printing and distributing. It's very 80's.

4) Hipsters. Here's one, spotted yesterday being all Hipster-ish :

5) People who try and sneak through in the '12 items or less' queue when they've GOT A MASSIVE TROLLEY FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH THIRTEEN THOUSAND ITEMS IN IT. YES, WE CAN SEE YOU AND YES, WE DESPISE YOU!

:mad:

....And then proceed burning out their clutch crawling forward for the next 10seconds until there's a massive gap between you and them.

Tonight i actually lost it....over Orange Juice.

It may be because i have been working non stop but after i got home at midnight i went to open a new carton of Tropicana (i have 2 in the fridge). I tried so hard to open it, using a towel, twisting so hard the carton was twisted, used a razor to cut the cap from the base... my palm on my hand was scratched from trying etc and it still won't budge.

So i thought (even without a container to put it in afterwards) I open it like a carton of milk/convent garden soup and drink it from that. But i ended up got it on my jacket, and in a moment of frustration, after all that and i got it on my clothes i throw the opened carton full of OJ into the sink. Then rammed the empty carton into the bin.

And then this is the worst part. I walked over to the fridge, got out the other carton, opened it like milk and calming pour that into the sink and put the emptied carton into the bin and then took the rubbish out into the garden.

Stupid thing, why does it have to be so tight?

That said, its only OJ and it felt good (the first carton) when i throw it into the sink.

I absolutely hate this. I don't mind optional tips, I have the option to always choose not to, if it's not on the menu's price, then I don't pay it. Compulsory service charges would put me off eating somewhere, if it's compulsory, why don't they just add it to the menu price?

Having worked in hospitality on and off for 6 years I can tell you that no tip/service is ever compulsory. If it is already added to your bill then it is at your discretion whether or not you want to pay for it.

Bear in mind that most pre-added service goes to the company/restaurant and not the mug who served you.

There are cafes/restaurants that have compulsory service charges though, they have to state it on the window.

I hate this too, when it's intentional, but to be fair, some times it's automatic, Blackberry phones seemingly do it too "posted/sent from my Blackberry device" or something. If I've ever sent an email from my phone (iphone) sometimes it'll say "sent from my iphone" at the bottom, and I've missed it a few times, when I see it I'll delete it as I find it really pretentious.

Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Signature

Now you won't miss it.

I prefer having a signature stating the mobile device I'm using. At least people know if I'm giving them a sharp reply or it's because I'm having to type with my thumbs.

But those that say Posted from my iPad on a forum? Yeah that one is definately not built in.

GD is not an IT sub-forum. In fact, OCUK is not an IT forum.

What? :confused:

e : Just seen your sig. Did I touch a nerve?

People who are ocuk-stalking me.
The last 10 visitors on my profile page are:
!bluetonic! "slinky" Carbon DB_SamX Howard Janesy B+ Marky MattH Ricochet J Stelly

These names haven't changed since last month where my number of profile views was 260ish... my number of profile views have increased by '1' daily since last month and it is now 298... but the names are still the same

Please do me a favour guys.... view my profile so that it refreshes the names, then I can find out who is ocuk-stalking me!!

I can't even remember the last time I looked at any profile on here let alone yours! Lol must have been months ago.

Anyway, selfish ****wads on busy trains who make people stand up because they put their bag on the seat next to them. I feel like running through the train grabbing them all and throwing them out the window :mad:
