Obsessed with complaining
Discussion
I was pretty bad before, but since I've become a homeowner, I just have become obsessed with complaining. And I mean over the littlest things.
For example, today I reserved something from Argos at around 18:10. I went to Tesco to grab some milk and passed Argos on the way. It turns out Argos shuts at 18:00, but their website says collect today (still does for that matter). Now whilst its mildly annoying, it has caused me no harm as I got one from Tesco, yet I cannot help myself googling the CEO and sending an email of complaint.
I complain to Morrisons on a weekly basis that their self service machines never work with various issues from asking me for match and more card despite not having one, to not scanning my item, to printing the receipt too slowly.
I must be doing this 3-4 time a week for various little things over something so petty and there is just no need. I just cannot help venting my annoyance.
Just curious if this is just me. I seem to becoming a proper Victor Meldrew

To be fair to the OP, the Morrison self-checkout machines are ruddy awful, hateful things!!
That is why as a true PHer, I head across the road to Waitrose
M&S food halls have the best self service set-up I find. Apart from trying to find where they have hidden the small bags this time. Damn it OP, I didn't reply to this thread to complain!That is why as a true PHer, I head across the road to Waitrose

Can you please put in a complaint for me regarding the volume level of self-service tills, ta. Dreadfully loud, and totally unnecessary for 80%+ of the population.
Most have a volume control at the bottom of the screen 
I turn them up when I have finished 
They annoy me the loud ones too. It's a rare treat when I get a silent one

Try shopping at Aldi.their receipts are printly really quickly
I was about to tell the OP to chill out and get a life, but yeah, Aldi! On the few occasions I shop there the cashiers appear to be on some Guinness World Record challenge to throw stuff at you/the miniscule shelf they have at the till at a rate that is impossible to keep up with when packing. Hold your bloody cheapo shop horses! I'm sure some boffin has done a costly queue management study to justify this as the best way of shifting punters through the tills, but frankly I'll take a leisurely chat with the staff at Waitrose, packing at my own pace any day.
