GordonD Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Went to the bank yesterday to get some money. The cashpoint was out of order so I went inside. As the teller handed me the notes she asked me, "What are you going to do with the money?" Actually that is untrue. I didn't get any cash and even if I did the teller would never have asked such a question as it's none of her business. So why do quiz show hosts always ask contestants what they're going to do with the money they've won (or might win)? I would love somebody to answer, "I'm going to buy a car. What are you going to do with your salary for presenting the show?" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shops that have one person on tills at the busiest time of the day. I was stood behind a boy who came in with 10 scratch cards and hadn't even scratched the foil stuff off to see if he won. I was raging that the lassie never told him to scratch it off and come back if he had any winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares what you're going to do with your £40 because it's likely boring and mundane. Winning circa £10K or more on a gameshow is obviously a substantial amount of money that your average person won't come into, so they may be more inclined to do something out of the ordinary with it. Have you never been asked what you'd do if you won the lottery? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People buy scratchcards and get the lassie behind the counter to scratch it for them. Could this aspect of customer service be extended? Me: Ah, good morning. I will have a packet of M&Ms and this here copy of Mojo, the monthly magazine for the ageing music snob. Could you oblige by reading out the career retrospective of Leonard Cohen, starting on page 23 please? I cant be bothered and I'm sure the people in the queue behind me wont mind.

Wait a month cost between 150-200 Go to dental hospital and costs nothing but wait 3 months. I decided to wait the month cause I'm a fanny i did similar with a shoulder injury a while back, instead of going to a physio i'd used before, i took the cheaper option of the NHS, waited ages, then eventually i got gel rubbed on my shoulder and some gadget like an ultrasound ran over the area that was injured, must have wasted 4 or 5 months, booked back in with my old physio and they done more in their 50 minute 1hr session than the 10 weeks at my local medical centre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpar Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Due to some "emergency", most likely some moron construction worker fucking up somewhere, the city turned off the water and heat in our area from 11am yesterday to 2am this morning, thankfully our 13 week old didn't have a blowout and that it was only -1 for most of the day. Heat still isn't back on but it's a toasty 2 degrees at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
