Pay for my milk and rolls (£1.89) with a tenner, matey gets a fiver and some change out of his drawer. Counts it, then puts back the fiver and gives me a fistful of change instead.
"Any reason I can't have that fiver?" I ask.
"It's the last one. If I gave you that, I wouldn't have any left."

Thanks for that - i'm currently wiping tea off my monitor "It's the last one. If I gave you that, I wouldn't have any left."

He doesn't even have the excuse that the 'travelling chef' had (i.e. showing people what he has in the range)....I do wonder sometimes what goes through people's minds as the say this stuff.

Our son was being physically bullied on the council provided transport to school (a taxi company minibus). Mrs Puggit contacted them to complain and the response was to attack us for not being ready each morning when the bus/taxi/thing arrives (we have a shared drive and they expect us to wait at the end on the public road while the collection time varies by 20 mins each day).
They expected you to stand and wait for a bus rather than the bus wait around for you to deign to appear in your own sweet time?Those b

You could always take your own child to school?
I wasnt going to bite but had a boring friday do why not..I would love to . Slight problem. I travel 2.5 hours each way to work. My mrs about 40 mins away. We do this to pay the bills.
My kids go to different schools in opposite directions , one is 45 mins by taxi the other 30. If we both gave up work and sponged off the state we could do it. Council did suggest we did just that but i didnt think it was a good idea.
Oldest is autistic and youngest has aspergers, amongst other problems so they need to be transported on their own. The point i was trying to make is that you get something that everyone agrees but then spend months fighting jobsworths to get them to do what has alteady been agreed.
Hope i cleared that up for you.

I was once told I couldn't have an appointment with a public sector organisation for the coming Friday as it might snow, I could have one for the week after.
How they knew it wasn't going to snow the week after I'm not sure, or why I couldn't just have rearranged if necessary. It didn't snow on the date I couldn't have either so I imagine that was a quiet day for them.

When DVD players first came out, me & the wife were browsing the shelves at Dixons when a spotty youth asks if we need any help, wife asks about multi-region DVD players. I was a bit stunned she understood such things, but we were then recipients of a stern lecture about how we were destroying the film industry by buying Region 1 DVD's from the USA as some were significantly cheaper, and without people paying extortionate amounts of money for region 2 (EU) DVD's hollywood would implode and there'd be 'No money' for the big blockbuster films like Star Wars.
We think he thought DVD's in the USA are all pirate copies?
We weren't that serious about buying at the time so walked out laughing, but the sales kid started following us, even went past the checkouts while still ranting, he was walking 1 pace behind us upto the door, i did have to tell him, more abruptly than he was expecting, he was a bit wrong and it's best if he stops following us. Actually thought that if left talking he would jump in the back of the car to continue his rant.

My neighbour told me this one yesterday, concerning our kerbside recycling service (like binmen only more jobsworth).
She put a whole load of clothes in her recycling box. We are allowed to recycle textiles, though you rarely see it in people's boxes.
She was at home when the lorry came and she watched the bloke grumpily pull all the clothes out, chuck them on the pavement and take the rest of the box's contents. She went out and asked him why he wasn't taking the clothes and he replied "they have to be in a separate bin bag."
So like the good girl she is, she put them in a bin bag the next week, with a label on saying "clothes". She then watched the same guy ignore the bin bag. She went out again and said "I thought you said I should put them in a bag." He replied...
"We're not allowed to take bin bags."
