Likewise - and of course it's perfectly OK for them to have male friends...

The packaging of McCoy's Ridge Cut Cheddar and Onion, and Ridge Cut Thai Sweet Chilli are very similar in colour, at first glance, under poor lighting, when they're all jumbled together. Who do I sue for compensation?
Along a similar vein.....salt an vinegar crisps in green packaging!!!! WTF is that all about.

It's insane, getting a text or a call from a female you've known for 20 years results in the balloon going up and me fking off home to have some peace.

fking NIMBYs

Woman on a local chat group on Facebook whingeing about 'boy racers' disturbing her dogs - when it was pointed out to her that it is the North West Stages rally she went off on a tirade, saying she'd never heard of it ( it's been on at the same time every year for the last 20 years, has been widely advertised locally ), spouting the usual 'it shouldn't be allowed' , and wanting a contact number so she can demand it to be stopped immediately due to it disturbing her dogs

Got rather irate and sweary when folk replied to say they were spectating at the event - with their dogs smile

I love it when this happens. We see it here on PH too - someone starts a thread that they expect everyone to agree with them on and then it doesn't go at all the way they expected. hehe

Estate agents/prospective tenants not showing up; had an EA arrange around 10 viewings this last week (for which I have to be here for as I have the only set of keys)* and they have only appeared for 1 viewing in total - ruddy s. I get that plans change, but a quick call/text/e-mail to say they aren't going to be round would be useful mad

  • Landlord overseas and doesn't permit having multiple cuts of keys.

People's utter lack of spatial awareness/observational skills in supermarkets.

The annoyance is then joined by worry/dejectedness that once they leave the supermarket, many will take that utter lack of skill/care/common sense and position it behind the wheel of a car.

Oh gods yes. I totally agree. They just drift around with no awareness of people around them and just walk in front of you. It wouldn't be so bad if you could predict their path.

Such is life in a busy supermarket. Drifting, speeding, cutting up, just like the highway it seems.

And women who stop in the aisle to chat with their trolleys at right angles, completely blocking everyone's path.

If they're chatting with their trolleys, I suspect their spatial awareness is the least of their problems.

People carrying those thermal cups, taking about 600 sips out of them. Just get up a few minutes earlier and have a brew.

It's still pretty good value when you think that you can post something in lands end, and a couple of days later someone brings it to your front door in John o groats.

Yes, but that's not much use if you live in Milton Keynes.
