Answer to this......scissors.....What they going to do ?...Sack you ?
I was more thinking itching powder in the crotch/upper leg/arm pit areas. Or if it has a mask, chilli on the inside of the mask.
When you pull into a car parking space in a classic in a seemingly empty carpark to adjust the tonneau/tinker/fettle/generally draw breath in a quiet space and someone parks RIGHT next to you with a cigarette paper's breadth between cars. Why do they do this? If the whole car park is vacant, why head for another car? :dunno:

When you just KNOW the people bidding on eBay on the broken hard disk you've advertised as 'for parts or repair' haven't read the description - the only explanation I can think of for the silly price it's up to :/
Sorry about that, you're ok with me paying by Zimbabwe Dollars? Right? 
You got a link to it, I'm intrigued

Traffic lights that change the INSTANT a pedestrian touches them, no matter if someone has literally just finished crossing.
Or...the T.L controlled Pedestrian crossing I pass through every morning which are by default ALWAYS at red regardless of anyone using the crossing or not.
They are evidently controlled by a induction loop set in the road which as soon as you pass over changes the lights (unless being used by a pedestrian). This is fine however the delay between it recognising the car to changing the lights is long enough to make sure you come to dead stop at the line (RED), depress the clutch (now RED/AMBER) into first (GREEN) and set off again...the delay is timed (to annoy) with perfection!

Tosspots over the allotments, first day of sun when you can have the doors open and they light a bloody fire!
BBQ season will start this weekend, I mean what could be more pleasant, apparently setting fire to a diesel and animal soaked tyre and flooding the entire neighbourhood with the choking stench on the hottest days of the year. So neighbourly.My local Tesco car park. The surface is that rough it's like trying to push a trolley over a ploughed field. By the time I get back to the car all the carefully packed groceries are scattered all over the trolley.
Open plan offices. There's always at least one loudmouth whose voice you hear all over the place, no matter how hard you try to tune out. My work has a few candidates, but by far the worst one is the woman who insists on holding loud phone conversations, but then feels the need to repeat the whole conversation word for word to the person sitting next to her when she comes off the phone. (Whether that person is interested or not).
Women in petrol stations. What takes them so long to move off after they get back in the car? The other day I pulled into a busy petrol station, every pump was being used. So I picked a pump and sat behind an empty car whose owner was in the shop paying. When she came back out she seemed to do anything but start the engine. Then she realised I was waiting. So instead of just moving off, she pulls about 2 feet forward closer to the car at the pump in front of her. So I still couldn't get in! She then waited on the person at the first pump to come back to their car. Another woman, who got in her car and didn't move off. I thought I was doomed to spend the rest of the day in that garage!

Our village has a Tesco Express with 4 fuel pumps. Due to local licencing laws, you can only pay for fuel at the window next the checkouts. What annoys me is in considerate pr*cks who pay for their fuel then go into the shop to buy groceries etc when there is a car park at the rear of the shop and 2 spaces at the end of the forecourt. Blocks up the whole pump area and if it's busy queues onto the main road.
I've said this several times before, but those times when Facebook says "hey! Look at those cool cats that your friend is talking with. Oh? They said something you disagree with? And you want to respond? Well you can't respond unless you beg to be their friend"
This annoys me beyond reason.
Additional: You're not on Facebook and/or you want to denigrate those that are? Get to the back of the queue of those people I give a s
t about. :*

I do agree with you. But I also wonder if you were to fill up and then move to the parking area if this would then be a "drive off" (ie. not paid)In France is is the correct thing to do, btw
Edit: Sorry - I misread your post. They pay for the fuel and *then* go shopping. Yes, they should have the common decency to move their car to the parking area after paying for their fuel.

BBC trying desperately to defend Labour results
I watched the news this morning and assumed I'd see a lot of posts with the opposing viewpoint. They must have spent about 10 minutes saying how Labour had done a piss poor job considering they were not the current Gov, and should have made gains.Royal borough of kensington and chelsea PCN system
1) get notice of £130 fine for a ticket I've never seen (the warden walked off when i returned to the van,i then moved the van to a pay and display bay and paid £18 for the privilege,had i known i had got a ticket they could have whistled Dixie)
2) write my appeal
3) reply to the link given in the letter
4) get email reply saying we do not use this mailbox it is not monitored
5) follow the link given in the auto reply to the appeals page, re type my appeal
6) hit continue button and nothing happens page just hangs,and hangs
So now i am going to type it all up and send it to them in an envelope using a stamp and all that and make the lazy ******** deal with it the old fashioned way. There will be no email given,no telephone number, they can damn well type a bloody letter by way of reply.
I just cannot see why they cannot simply alter the damn letter if the links on it are out of date. How hard can it be?
In fact I think we should all start taking these organisations on by writing to them, that will screw up all the email and call centre nonsense they make us endure these days!
