Covid 19 is annoying me beyond reason.
Not just for the obvious horrible way to die reasons, but I swear since lockdown, the chatrooms have become less tolerant and a lot angrier - people are resorting to insulting each other more often, and much earlier, in threads.
No it bloody well isn’t......Not just for the obvious horrible way to die reasons, but I swear since lockdown, the chatrooms have become less tolerant and a lot angrier - people are resorting to insulting each other more often, and much earlier, in threads.
Social distancing or rather Lack of it! 
Perfect example today.....
Went to a trade paint supplier where I have an account.
I walk into the shop wearing a mask.
Bloody great big stickers on the floor showing a one way system.
Only 1 other customer in the shop (at the counter not wearing a mask), 2 staff members also not wearing any protection but instead of the two staff in the shop staying behind their protective screens, both members of staff are standing shoulder to shoulder next to each other chatting to customer less than a meter away in an open counter area!
Then customer turns and leaves shop walking directly towards me totally ignoring the one way system. So I move out of the shop to let him selfishly exit.
IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO ENGAGE BRAIN?

Most annoying for me?
I worked the front desk at the PD and would get a call from someone who wanted the phone number of a city department. I'd tell them the number very slowly and carefully and when I'd finished they would say "Let me get a pen and paper".

It's that time of year again, get ripped off on car insurance renewal. Late 30's, A5 diesel, clean licence, lost count of how many NCD, parked on the drive, homeowner, 1 windscreen claim - cheapest I've found is £590. Seems like no matter where I live or what I drive, I end up paying double what everyone else does.

What's the PD?I worked the front desk at the PD and would get a call from someone who wanted the phone number of a city department. I'd tell them the number very slowly and carefully and when I'd finished they would say "Let me get a pen and paper".
Any road.
Why didn't you check that they had the various writing materials and equipment to hand and were ready before racing through the number at breakneck speed?
You have only yourself to blame.
