People who claim that their drinks have been spiked with drugs.

Who in their right mind goes out with a pocket full of drugs, and then gives them away for free?

The stories usually go 'Well, yeah I'd had a few drinks, but then can't remember anything after that.......somebody must have spiked my drink'

Really?
well nobody in their right mind; sexual predators, on the rare occasions that it does happen.

Why did you post this? It's not unamusing but I wonder if this is the right thread.
Why did I post it, well it's annoying that people complain about stuff like how the country is run, when 5000 years of human history would suggest that it has never been any different and will never be any different. So it's annoying that people get annoyed over things that they will never change.

So it's my opinion that it's stupid to worry about anything that is outside your personal control or influence.

Still, you gotta ask - how long can they keep kicking the can... Boom and bust isn't just money, it's civilisation as we know it.

Eh? A lamp is a complete electrical fitting which provides light. The bulb is the little glass housing with the filament.

My 4 year old - if I am asleep on the sofa that doesn't give her the right to jump on me and scream in my ear.....

You do get those sofa thingies which are much bigger than an armchair but not big enough to share though.

In the Supermarket;
I hate shopping to begin with, but why do groups of old people block the entrance so they can have a natter? Either side of the entrance are huge open spaces!

Why push your trolley right up to the shelves so no-one else can get close? No-ones going to steal your trolley!

Aaaaargh!

Stuff that comes in a carry box that will only go back into said box if everything is placed back in the right order / orientation etc with cables coiled into special spaces.

Kill all the fkers that design these things with no more than a 5% tolerance for mistakes (i.e. laziness).

The revised Royal Mail website - impossible to find fairly basic information, such as:

1) A simple list of countries classed as 'Europe' for postal charge purposes
2) A simple list of prices for various services - now you have to put in weight, size, and destination before it'll give you a price. PITA when all you want is a rough guide for postal charges to put on ebay
3) Maximum size of something to be sent via standard parcels
4) Does something going to Latvia need a CN22 customs form

All this information was easily accessible on the old website, but appears to be totally absent on the new one, and the search function is bloody useless too

Not used that specifically but I am increasingly finding that websites aren't showing basic information clearly or easily.
Web design really does seem to be taking steps backward at the moment.
