Jeek Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 When you get a cup of tea from a Costa / Starbucks / whatever and they leave exactly .03 mm clearence to the rim for milk.Makes you furious enough to smile politely and do nothing about. Then just go away and not enjoy your expensive tea.Could also go in the 1st world probs thread tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink black coffee but always ask for room for milk as otherwise they fill it to the brim as if it were a latte or similar. With a latte the thickness of the milk makes spilling less of a problem but walking around with a black coffee filled to the top is a big spill hazard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee city buses have the machine thing that you have to put exact fare in. It’s quite funny seeing people kicking off cause the driver won’t let them on as they are 5p short Trained to drive a bus about 3 years ago. Was between jobs and struggling to find anything. Applied to First Aberdeen and learned to drive a bus, took about 3 weeks. Passed the test on Thursday 13/11/14 in the morning, and in the afternoon got a call from an agency for an Expeditor job at a Procurement House starting straight away, had been interviewed for a while before. On the Friday learnt that you shouldn't care too much about fares as for every person that tries and underpay or is short 5p someone else will throw in £2 for a £1.50 fare and it ain't worth the hassle and as long as the box is close in total they don't care and don't expec the driver to check the fare in the machine as you throw the money in, unless it ridiculously wrong, putting in 50p for a £3 day ticket for example. I then quit and went to the office job. So I can drive a bus although have never done it since the day I passed my test and know that a driver arguing over 5p is a twat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite funny seeing people kicking off cause the driver won’t let them on as they are 5p short Similarly, in Fife bus drivers give (or gave, not been on a bus in Fife for about a decade) change but Aberdeen buses don’t (contactless will bankrupt the c***s hopefully). Anyway, first time after I’d moved I got the bus and gave the driver a five note. Boy went off his nut shouting that I should know it’s not in to him to carry change. How would I know this mate, I’ve just moved here. He apologised and had change on him anyway? Weird types, bus drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Can't remember the exact figure but the Evening News had an article about how much extra Lothian busses averagely get compared to actual tickets sold per day and it was quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could utter the useful phrase "could you leave room for milk please?" when ordering. HTH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Folk that choose to sit at the very front of the top deck of a bus (particularly when the whole deck is empty) . Back when I were a lad on the school bus, those were the seats for not just First Years, but those at the very bottom of the food chain, the absolute cannon fodder who would go to bed dreaming of the very back centre middle seat occupied by the alpha male. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for the folk who would remove the glass panel from the driver's periscope to the top deck and drop down a wad of burning paper onto the driver.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The BBC Scottish Pictures of the week section. I like this section, it's normally got some great photos in it and I myself have submitted photos to it in the past. However, what's really getting on my tits is the person/people who choose the photos for it. They keep putting pictures of the fucking Kelpies. A picture of the kelpies at night, a picture of some c***s wean running round the kelpie, somebodies daft dug looking at the kelpies - just F**K OFF with your shitty kelpies man. Don't get me wrong, I've been to see the Kelpies and they are pretty cool to look at. I wouldn't go again though, they are just big metal horses heids after all and the novelty is gone after one visit. Please just get these kelpies to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm , I have almost the exact opposite gripe , I don't take milk and even when they ask if I want space for milk and I decline there seems to be a ridiculous gap left at the top . Even more infuriating when I go in somewhere and ask specifically for a black coffee and they just go ahead and assume i mean a black coffee watered down with half a mug of milk ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Won a bid for a jacket on Ebay. Was about to pay for it, (£5) then the seller sent me a message asking if I could pay more because he didn't want to sell it for a fiver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people wouldn't even entertain sending it to you. Or just not send it. If he wanted more money, he should have put a reserve but that costs a wee bit extra to list it so many don't then get pissed off when whatever they're selling fails miserably to get anywhere near what they think it's worth. Usually these items get withdrawn pretty sharply before the auction ends. It's a kuntz trick. Ebay is littered with kuntz these days. Almost approaching gumtree levels of scummyness where x-boxes and badly decorated Vauxhall Corsa's seem to be some sort of currency these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Mid year appraisal in work today.My boss doesn't have a clue what I actually do for a living. I could tell him anything and he wouldn't really have any grounds to doubt it. Our appraisal rating isn't worth enough money to make it a huge deal and if I was ripping the piss then I'd be dealt with long before now. Just do away with the whole appraisal thing. It's bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bollocks. 5 years at my current employer. Never had an appraisal. Not long after I started a new role we had to set targets that would be looked at again in 6 months. It never happened. I’m perfectly fine with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
