Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Almost exclusively the preserve of the elderly. If someone at the home is taking a trip into town, they get handed everybody's cards to make a small withdrawal and get a statement to prove they didn't skim anything off the top. Never occurs to the auld bassa to do it in a couple of goes so the rest of the queue can take their bus money and get to work <_>Going to an ATM - other than in exceptional circumstances -any more than once a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2019 for f**k sake, how and why do you not have a banking app on your phone? Get your money out and f**k off out my way. It's the calling card of a sizable moron, and said morons are OFTW. Using Americanisms. I blame Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister (mid 30's) pronounces process "prawcess", which I have no doubt she's picked up from American pish. She doesn't even realise it's wrong either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 People who big deal the shit out of mediocrity like having Sky TV, living in some shite town or driving a Hyundai is the lifestyle of the rich and famous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Using Americanisms. I blame Sky.What would you call it, out if interest? I know "hole-in-the-wall" used to be common in England (I think Barclays Bank had that as a trademark) and I think my old man just says "the bank" or "cash machine" but I can't think of many better phrases that "ATM" really. Although I call it "the Bancomat"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I suspect this has already been covered, but people who say "Simples!" They should be rubbed with a cheese grater and slowly drowned in vinegar. Then raised from the dead so the process can be repeated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual meat like chicken and beef is a class 2. So bad, but not as bad. Edit - That's from the World Health Organisation. So don't shoot TheScarf!

Even more so when off campus and certainly boot-in-the-pie level if worn on the train. Eta: I suppose this is just c***ish look-at-me behaviour rather than moronic.

jamieson87 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 People who still use the term "Flat Screen TV" like it is some kind of luxury. They are about 15 years out of date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about 15 years out of date.You see that advertised with hotels etc as if its something desirable. Pish. There will be teenagers these days who have never seen a CRT tv. Similarly, peddling wifi as a perk. f**k that. Its essential. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've always referred to every ATM no matter which bank or whatever runs it , as the Autobank , even though I haven't been with Clydesdale for years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Wearing a university-branded hoodie around campus.The equivalent in the oil & gas industry would be folk that dress in polo shirts/jackets etc branded with whatever project they worked on, or some slogan.e.g Kuparak Sands, Biddly Bong Wyoming 2011, 2 Years without a Lost Time Accident 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
