Thank you.

This will be rocketing back into the Top 10 of today's vocabulary. It has been approximately 20 years since it has featured in the Top 50.

Estate agents, rang one today to be told they have a block viewing tomorrow at 9am, I told them I can't make it and asked if they had any other times only to be met with "oh well"

Oh well? oh fking well? if my estate agents were telling potential buyers that I'd bin them off.

Supermarket cons. Put the small jars of sauce out for £2 in the usual place. Then hide the larger same sauce around the corner for £1.30

Stick a note through the houses door. If I were selling I would like to be made aware of this.

I eat a lot of M&M's, I think it's an addiction.

They do this a lot with these, 'treat bag', 'grab bag', 'share bag' etc.

This biggest bag is usually on offer for half the price of the smallest bag and contains twice as many?!

Which is similar to the woman standing in the middle of the only vacant parking space in the car park. and when you politely tell her to move out of your way, tells you that she is waiting for her husband with the car.

The solution to this problem is to put some of your own items down on the table so that if anyone does try that trick you can point out that you are already sitting there. A newspaper or coat/bag will suffice, even a set of cutlery would do.

I don't have the problem at my regular caff as the fixed bench seats are that close to the table that I cannot physically fit in the gap without the edge of the table slicing me in half grumpy.

Sit opposite her. Tell her she smells nice and you like (blondes/brunettes whatever) because it reminds you of your last girlfriend whose grave you still visit.

She'll soon move.

I’ve had the table grabbing thing a couple of times, both times in department store cafeterias, like John Lewis, or Debenhams, Oxford St. London.
I’ve been alone, and got in the queue for a coffee and a sandwich, when a couple, or a family have come in, one has sat down and put bags and coats on some seats, while one has joined the queue.
When I’ve got my stuff, and left the cash register, I’ve looked around, and if there’s no other empty seats, or even if there was one where other people are eating, believing it not right to ask if I could join them, I’ve just gone to a table with no food on it, where an interloper is seated.
When they inevitably say, “That someone’s seat”, I politely reply, “Yes, it’s mine”, they then protest that their husband/wife/friend is in the queue.
Still politely, I say, “When they get served, they can do what I did, and look for an empty seat.”
Sure, I get the stink-eye, water off a duck’s back, but what am I supposed to do, stand around juggling a coffee and a sandwich in the middle of a cafeteria while they hog an empty table?

As for the liberty taker in the car park, I’d FEEL like just taking the space, she’d soon move, but if they’re thick enough to think that holding a parking spot is O.K., they’ll likely be thick enough to key your car.

Rthe use of the word run/running.
It's become common to use the words/running about cars.
Yes, you run an XYZ 123 but it doesn't run a certain type of tyre or BHP or carb or whatever.

I've read on various threads on here recently where one idiot said he ran a particular mobile phone. Another pollock said he ran a Panny such and such TV.

Tossers desperate to sound cool. Sad.
