Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 6)
Discussion
Waiting to turn right at a crossroads and oncoming traffic keeps coming after the lights turn red, leaving you stuck blocking the traffic that has now started coming from either side...especially when the car ahead of you hasn't pulled far enough into the junction for you to complete the turn when the oncoming traffic finally stops.
People turning right who don't pull far enough into a junction to make enough space to let cars behind them get past

We live in a new build and don't want holes in the walls so all our artwork, pics, mirrors, coat rack etc... Are on with 3m strips ... 2 mirrors we have are 124kg a piece ... Held on for over 18mths now with the heavy-duty strips. I love them!
The ceiling mirrors are cheapy mirror tiles from IKEA and attached with Velcro tape

Those strips are bloody expensive, for the number of frames it would be cheaper to repaint
This. Which is the reason why I convinced myself they were rubbish and never bought some, until I moved into a new build, bought some, and was pleasantly surprised at how bloody useful they are.Every picture, mirror and even the Christmas tree (half a tree, vertically, is not a bee) is held up by them here.
And they’re really not that expensive.

), toothpaste, and shampoo. Unimportant to whom exactly? Why the focus on "Christmas" excess foods and booze? It's not as if there wasn't already enough of that guff on the shop floor. cauliflower and cabbage was stacked higher than I am tall in the store I went to. Annoying me beyond reason? The fact that all the pillocks hoovering up "Christmas" excess food and drink today (and tomorrow too, probably) will be bleating about how much weight they've gained by the New Year, and they'll all either troop off to the gym to become an annoyance to regulars, or they'll be back out to those cathedrals of consumerism, moaning about how much it's costing to completely replace their wardrobe on account of how "nothing fits anymore".
Save money! Save your health! Save your sanity too! Just buy less for Christmas dinner, put less on your plate, and shovel less into your fat faces. Either that, or suck up the weight gain and the fact you spent too much money, because I've no sympathy with your excessive spending and consumption when it is entirely self-inflicted.

It was the same in Waitrose this morning. No-one got mad.

That is better than the stores running out of stock..

.Besides, it's usually the clueless shoppers who create the roadblocks. I was brave enough to venture to the local ASDA this evening and it was chaos, not because they were busily restocking (that's a good thing, it means there is stock for me to buy) but because people were meandering, stopping the middle of aisle and blocking popular products... worst of all, they were completely oblivious to it. It's the store staff I feel sorry for because it's them who'll get yelled at when there aren't enough mince pies on the shelf.
In retrospect, I should have shopped online as the office shuts down over Christmas so waiting for delivery isn't an issue.

I agree, though having worked in retail and hospitality I think the latter is the better learning experience. ts most people are.nonsequitur said:
