Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)
Discussion
I am sure that this one has been put up more than a few times but just for the benefit of the of the super important bint at the front of the queue at the fly and collect desk at the airport -
People who think that they are far to important to put the f
king mobile down for 5 minutes (when they have just be on a 1hour+flight) to speak to counter staff properly.
Not content with being so terminally fking stupid as to lose their receipt whilst away they then had a huffy fit as they were forced to put the phone down for 30 seconds to get some ID out and give the lady at the desk their flight details.
So for maximum points:-
1. Losing important documents.
2. Being so ultra important you can't put the mobile to one side when speaking to someone who is trying to help you out following on from your earlier incompetence (see one above).
3. Not having the good grace to say thank you but just snatch up your goods and run (whilst still on mobile).

Council "Local beauty spot X seems to be popular - lets spend some money improving it to show we care"
Council then spends a few quid installing rubbish bins, filling in a few potholes in the car parking area etc.
Council "We've spent this money on X so we need to recoup it - lets make the car parking ticket only"
Council then spends a couple of thousand installing a ticket machine
Council "Hmmm, no-one is using X anymore, I wonder why..."
Rinse and repeat

I think your mistake begins at line 1. The process is probably more like:Council then spends a few quid installing rubbish bins, filling in a few potholes in the car parking area etc.

Council: "What can we tax next?"
Council: "Let's install a pay and display car park somewhere popular"

Headline in local paper: 'Beauty spot ruined by overpopularity, litter, dogs
t, dogst bags, mountainbike idiots, doggers at dusk and young men dealing drugs at night'B.
Council: "Warning: We're going to ticket all those illegally parked."
Guess which version is real.

Reading Uni was brilliant I'll have you know! It might be st if you're not a student but if you're a student it was bloody great 13 years ago.
However, the type of person who runs a student union, appears to be changing a lot. as much as they claim free speech, there is definitely a one sided version of any matter given out that you're expected to be angry about.
