I didn't want to hurt your feelings so went for what I thought was an average time.

I spoke about it before but when we were actually trying for a baby I couldn’t get finished quick enough, there was a weird tension in the air and I felt like I was being watched/judged by a baby.

To be fair, that includes foreplay, showering and negotiating over price!

Is stealing condoms a big deal? Imagine having a security tag on them and some employee having to come and remove it at self scanner. 
 

Do they have to test them before you can buy them?

Automated phone lines where the options aren't presented in numerical order.

"For Option One, press 1. For Option Two, press 2. For Option Three..."

Aha! I want Option Three! I shall cunningly save fractions of a second by pressing 3 now!

"Welcome to Option Four"

Especially as they hide the option you want, speak to a person, last…AND have taken to making it a random number other than zero.

All the more confusing when it's a helpline that really doesn't gain anything from annoying the callers. Maybe they used to have an Option Three, but they don't get any calls about chlamydia anymore?

(as an example)

Was called into the office today and asked if I could my annual leave that I've booked in for a while. I understand and appreciate there is a norovirus outbreak at work right now, which has also left us massively understaffed, but still.

Haha, naw. Been a long day.... 3 of us on the care floor. Long story short, my annual leave has been cancelled.

You getting payment in lieu?

One of my previous employers was notorious for pulling the "sorry, we need you at work" trick in March, followed by "annual leave doesn't carry over into the next financial year" when the 6th of April came round.

More than one employer, thinking about it.
