coprolite Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 12 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Not so. Its designed exactly like that, as you might be tempted to buy an extra item on that last leg back to the tills. Its no surprise that the "seasonal aisle" which is full of shite nobody actually needs or wants, is usually on an aisle on the way back towards the tills. Almost every supermarket is designed this way, same as fruit and veg is almost always at the very front to trick your mind into thinking that the shop is clean and fresh. Putting the fruit and veg at the front annoys me now that I’ve started using the scan as you go thingy. I now need planning and forethought so that I don’t end up putting bottles or tins on top of soft fruit. Simply starting bagging up at the back of the shop almost works, but then I have to double back if I need any bread or bread related products. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The way my wife can’t simply get ready and walk out the door, she has to fanny about with something that’ll still be there when be get back. Moving dishes, or straightening a cushion, etc. you’d think after thirty odd tears I’d get used to it, but………. Also, moving stuff around in supermarkets really rips ma knitting. I’ve been told why they do it, but it’s still a massive pain in the erse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you now have to limit each bout of sobbing to just 30 odd tears each time to prevent dehydration? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 On the way home today and spotted the first Christmas tree up in someone's living room window. It's early November FFS. I feel we get ours up reasonably early but it's still a month till I'll be getting the decorations down from the loft! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 People who are the boss at work but carry on their boss attitude out of work. They don't even know that they are doing it. Oblivious to their own arrogance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of this layout, because it means I can just bolt straight past all the shite I never eat, and get straight into the processed meat, booze, and crisps. It's not even that I don't like fruit & veg, more that supermarket stuff is utterly bland and tasteless so they might as well stack those shelves with spray-painted cardboard. The proliferation and dominance of supermarkets since the 1980's is by far the biggest factor in why I've gradually lost my taste for F&V down the years. Their stuff just does not taste like the stuff I grew up on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Raging at the new Outlook that's suddenly been forced upon me. No longer can I see any new email alerts for all of my multiple accounts at the same time, as you have to have the account sections expanded to see the Inbox folder, and you can't see all the account sections when they're expanded. That and I managed to crash it within a minute. Shite user interface designers & programmers. Shoot sack shoot sack 'em all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you're dog is a moungral or you were stupid enough pay cash for something with apoo shoved on the end. Back in the day if someone's beloved poodle had been pumped by next doors escaped spaniel, the resulting b*****d offspring would have been given away for nothing or drowned at birth to save the stuck up owner embarrassment. Nowadays daft cnuts pay thousands for them. Whoever the first person was to come up with the 'exclusive breed' rather than mongrel concept really did one on the gullible and became a vets/groomers/dog walkers dream making fortunes from folk pampering them. Save yourself the money and many potential health issues from over breeding and get yourself a wee border terrier for a few hundred quid. Best wee b*****ds in the world so they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Dropbox. Was sent a file, a few of us editing it. Sent to my work address, so signed in. It then tells me I cannot edit it unless I sign into a google account. So I make one, sign in and then it spots that my login address and google address are different and locks me out. Just sucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The (poppy wearing) Prof and I are embarking on a project together just now. He had some mental ideas and, since they put me in charge of the programme, I just said f**k it and started implementing them. I reckon that in ~2 years the workload across the team will be well down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
