Central Belt Caley Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Derry Alli said: I was Christmas shopping and the queue was huge. Standing sweating my tits aff some wee guy come up to me and said "if you don't mind being emailed your receipt you can skip this queue" Me : I wouldn’t mind that, the scenario I had this morning was a bit different. In Halfords buying some car cleaner stuff that came to £2.99. “Do you have an email I can send a receipt to?” No ”Do you even want a receipt?” No Thank you, cheerio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who trusts a business to send on the evidence that you bought from them, and can use to return the product if it's defective? I’m always a bit uneasy about that too, I’ve never had my email read back to me either so can’t be 100 percent sure they’ve got it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The only time I get the receipt emailed is in IKEA and Argos. IKEA because I have a family card and the email is already on that, and Argos because I type the email in on the terminal when I'm ordering. Anywhere else forget it as I don't trust them to write down my email correctly and it takes too much time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbaxters Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Inane chatter. Just spent the drive in to work with two women in the car talking utter nonsense. Honestly don't know where they get it from. Ranged from tomato plants on a balcony to "snuggling in" instead of going out on Saturday night. Never been more pleased to reach my work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Getting a plethora of posts on my Facebook feed from orangey groups with their stupid pallet bonfires. I'll admit to having clicked on some of the comments to see some of the brain-dead replies. So mea culpa. Facebook now thinks I'm one of these knuckledraggers. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution and specialist gender roles to blame. The act of communicating is important to women, creating and reinforcing the social bonds among the herd. The content is less important. Men care less about the act of communicating and focus on the content, like where the mammoth went or if there’s a sabre tooth tiger around. If you’d been out chasing an elk like a real man you wouldn’t have had this problem so you’ve only yourself to blame. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workplace gossip is class. Baxter clearly hasn't sorted out his filter to let the shite pass through and keep the good gear. His fault.

Craig fae the Vale Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Been waiting on a phone call all morning - they said they would call "just after 9". Have just phoned to see what's happening and now they say they'll phone at 11. Sound, not like my work is accommodating me so I can take this call or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they don't realise that they're inane yammer has absolutely no point. Even as basic communication it's missing the mark. It looks like these two will be in the car for the next two weeks. I will keep you all updated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I drove my wife and 2 pals to a wedding on Saturday night. They were all a good few #proseccos in by the time we left and the drive was torture. Like being surrounded by a flock of seagulls with megaphones. (unfortunately not the excellent 80s band of the same name) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Put British pork on your fork" On what planet does that rhyme? It's been bugging me for hours. In the area of England where the ad agency are based. In related knitting-ripping annoyance, the way the McDonald's voiceover guy pronounces 'sauce' as 'source'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse when they rhyme it with 'talk' - which is why in Cockney 'rabbit' means to talk a lot; short for 'rabbit & pork'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
