I never use real info for online stuff until I absolutely have to.

Likewise to the poster above, if anyone actually uses the email address no@nope.com, I sincerely apologise for the 5 years of comparison site quotes you've provably received.

Relax, it's called customer service, i.e. being nice to people. 'Good morning' is pleasant start.
Would you prefer staff to be surly and unhelpful?
I rather suspect that King Herald was taking the piss out of me rather than being serious. wink
No, seriously.
Would you like any kind of customer service personnel to be surly and unhelpful?
Being rude or offhand to these staff is indicitive of insecurity or low self esteem. i.e. they are an easy target.
Being rude or offhand is not indicative of low self-esteem/insecurity. Just saying. smile

Indeed, also when he sings over tracks and actually thinks he is pleasing the listeners - what a fluckin throbber.

Something that really boils my p*ss is when people give you a bundle of cash and they have not had the common decency to arrange the notes in sequential value AND having the head of Her Majesty in order.

And arranged in order of newness/scruffyness.

If 5 people order a Latte, each one could be different, and the drinks don't generally come in order so it saves 5 people all trying to see if it actually is their 'medium soy vanilla sugar-free extra hot latte'.

When my party get into power, there won't be any of that nonsense.

Do you want

TEA

or

COFFEE.

We won't be having any of that mumbo jumbo.

"Actually can I get a double skinny Americano with extra junk on top and dribble down the side"

"No. I get the drinks. We do tea or coffee. Now, what do you want?"

After a very short introductory period, it will be instant capital punishment for anyone saying "Can I get", or asking for anything other than plain tea or coffee.

My party will solve the unemployment problem by having teams of sharp shooters based on every High Street, they will shoot anyone transgressing the rules. The people being executed will free up, (a) a job, and (b) a parking space. Win, win.

People who don't understand how right turn filters work at traffic lights. If you don't cross the white line and move into the junction when the main lights are at green you won't activate the filter. I had to endure 3 fking cycles of a set of lights on the way home tonight because the dosey bh in the Civic in front of me waited behind the stop line, despite the tooting and flashing of the angry old in the Escort behind her.*

Eventually I managed to reverse back and pull in front of her into the junction. Hey presto, the filter came on!

fkwit! furiousfuriousfurious


  • That may have been me
Not all Traffic Light filters work like that...

Some work on the induction loop and require a vehicle to be on it to activate the filter, some are on a timed cycle, some are even on a alternate sequence cycle due to traffic flow issues e.g. the filter only comes on the second or third cycle e.g the second cycle of R, RA, G, A, R - R, RA, G, Filter Arrow, A, R.

I set up a throwaway email address for online stuff where they request it - you would not believe how much crap is in there. Well in excess of 2,000 messages.

With you on that. Also I'm quite a good shot with a rifle. Ehere do I apply for the job of sniper?

May we add to the list people who say or type "Just saying." WTF does that even mean.

Thanks for posting that - genuinely interesting article. My mum does the "just joking" / "just teasing" thing all the time and it's very frustrating.

Not sure that he deserves the rolling eyes emoticon. You asked what it meant and he gave you an article which answered your question.
