Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol. 7)
Discussion
I may have mentioned this in the distant past, but it's still going on and it's still annoying me- people in retail situations telling me that they are going to do the things (that I'm paying them for) 'for me'.
Sometimes I consider saying "well, if you are gong to do that for me, then I ought to do something for you. Like give you money" but I fear it would bounce off them, or they would just stare at me trying to work out what I was getting at. And the reason they wouldn't know what I was getting at would be that they use the 'for you' ending without even thinking about it, they were told to add it to every sentence spoken to a customer and they do it automatically and it's become a meaningless thing to them and an irritation to me.
But it still annoys me.

I have to admit I have no idea what all that means Sometimes I consider saying "well, if you are gong to do that for me, then I ought to do something for you. Like give you money" but I fear it would bounce off them, or they would just stare at me trying to work out what I was getting at.

Another thing that annoys me occurs on some YouTube tutorial type videos. It's when the content creator introduces the subject and explains the benefits of it, then says 'Let's get started' but, instead of getting started plays an intro reel instead. After that's finished they then introduce the video again and finally, sometime after the video started playing, they get to the actual subject material.

Lutefisk, rotfisk, surstromming ...
A mate bought me some surstromming as a joke birthday present a few years ago. Internet advice was to open the can underwater and do it outside. it's a very strong flavour but not unpleasant and I can see why some people really like it. One mate went back for thirds.shih tzu faced said:

The amazing amount of covid related st that is still around.
Do we still need the effing perspex barriers at retail and admin inter-personal situs ?
Are GP surgeries ever gonna get back to normal ?
I don't need the weird looks when I stand too close in a queue, it's over people,
we are post-covid.
[ can we keep delivery drivers and Royal Mail not needing signatures
and just dumping packages at my door, I do like that ]

Avocado...
Tasteless with the texture of diarrhea. Sigil of the hipster and ruiner of good food.
Especially avocado where it doesn't belong.
Just ordered a chicken club sandwich which didn't have any bacon on it and it the place of this wonderous meat was the devil's own green baby poo that only served as a lubricant to eject better contents of the sandwich onto the plate and get all over my hands.
The worst part is I could have just crossed the road and gone to my usual cafe where the sandwiches are blessedly free of avocado, half the price and twice as good.
And I'm still bloody hungry.

In the local health centre recently I was one of the few wearing a mask as per the signage. "Oh I can't wear those" ? "Because I don't like them!".
Neither do I but their house...
next bed Granny was being visited by her daughter and 7 of her brood [ yeah 7 ]
told by staff they all needed to wear facemasks the daughter said the kids can't wear them
due to being autistic.
Yeah I didn't get the connection either.
