Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I don’t see the issue in paying more for sitting in. If I buy, let’s say, a takeaway coffee and a caramel shortcake. I’m out the door with both items and a carboard cup. Sit in, and I get a proper china cup, saucer, spoon, shortcake on a proper plate with a knife, and the whole thing on a tray. Then I get to use the establishment’s chairs, tables, enjoy the comfort of their heating. When finished, just stand up and walk away, leaving staff to collect the tray, and all the crockery needs washed too. I don’t see the issue - I’m getting something tangible for the extra. Having said that, and I have mentioned this a few times. There should be a three-tier charging system in coffee shops the world over....

1. Takeaway

2. Sit-in.

3. Sit-in before whipping out a laptop and thinking a coffee shop is your office. You studenty wanks.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think there may be VAT implications for eating in or takeaway on some places?

 

I'm sure there was no VAT on takeaways until Thatcher brought it in. So there should be no difference now.

Shops that turn their heating up way too high when it's cold outside.

The fact it's so cold means most customers are generally wearing jumpers and jackets - and really don't need the sauna effect produced whilst browsing around the tat on offer.

 

Aye f**k the staff, let them freeze!

My phone automatically connects to the Glasgow City Centre WiFi whenever I’m in town. The Glasgow City Centre WiFi has never once worked on my phone. So I turn WiFi off so I can keep posting shite on here, then half the time forget to turn it back on whenever I get to work so my phone is using data for hours till I realise.

That’s the fucking b*****ding Christmas cunting tree going fucking well up.

3 fucking weeks to go.

We're not quite there yet. It has been mentioned though.

I've a feeling I'll be raking around in the attic this weekend. Which is ok now I've looked at the date :)

I originally thought this was mainly the fresh faced students doing this before they eventually get how it works in their second semester in the city. Not the case, I've seen it with grown men and its absolutely ridiculous. 

An old mate of mine used to always get his own drink on nights out. Everyone else would get rounds and he would go to the bar on his own because he worked out he would be a few quid better off by the end of the night as his drink of choice was 20 odd pence cheaper. He was still doing ithis in his late 20s and may still be doing it now.

Fuckin Amazon  :eusa_wall:

You've got to be on the ball. They're always trying to sneak in their 'offers' when you buy something. Anything. 

Click "what about this?"  No.

Click "then there's this?" No.

Click "don't forget this amazing offer" No. 

f**k!!!! Off!!! 

I just want what's in my basket. If I wanted anything else it'd already be in there. 

Still, that's all the christmas shopping done :) 

ho ho ho ;)

Cafés with sit in versus take away prices. Just figure out what price will turn a profit averaged across both kinds of customer and stop making me feel like I've been swindled for wanting my coffee in a ceramic cup!

:lol: what a cretin.

Go into your WiFi networks and “forget” that network and it won’t automatically connect. Easy.

Someone voted me for a Motherwell fan in one of the poster of the year threads once.

I think that was me.

I don't support a football team.

Clearly a Hearts* fan then.

 

 

Insert your preference of hammer thrower/shite team.

Interesting how you pulled me up for not even being into football on more than one occasion when you don’t even support a team!

 

I think that was more pulling you up for unveiling yourself as a Hibs fan a considerable time after they won the cup

If ever there was a damning indictment of Motherwell fans....

 

@YassinMoutaouakil

As the only Motherwell fan that comes to me at this time.... Up your fucking game.

The Motherwell boys are good lads. @thisGRAEME and @capt_oats are standouts

There's also MJC and MJS, although I can never remember which one is the one that pretends to be a Rangers fan.
