Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo advert on GHR in the style of those Cornish p***k singers that were all the rage a couple of years ago.

Hated them then, hate the advert now, and if that the best that Cornwall has to offer as culture they are all close enough to it to all f**k off into the sea.

Wouldn't say this annoyed me, but what is the point of this? Any and all departure information, in visual form, is right next to this. It's surely quicker (and easier) to just read it?

There is surely no person getting information exclusively from this.

Gives off Middle Management thinking they are doing a thing vibes whilst verging on patronising IMO.

My dad (in his 80s), when asked a question by a doctor or nurse who is obviously of Asian descent, feels the need to reply to them in a kind of strange broken English with sign language thrown in despite them usually having a thicker Scottish accent than him .

When you put heavy items on the supermarket conveyor first so they can go into your bag first but the till attendant puts your items through in a random order, because obviously you want your pepper smashed up amongst the bottles & tins.

ETA: if it's a 'big shop' then I'll lay it out heavy-light-heavy-light (planning ahead for filling two bags), but the staff will throw a spanner in the works somehow.

They definitely do this on purpose. If you reverse the order they’ll not reach over bananas and eggs to get to tins and bottles and will just put the bananas through first. 

This, hygiene, and avoiding small talk is why self scan is the only viable option.

I used to do this on purpose when I worked in Fine Fare (look it up, kids).

The general public are c***s and deserve everything they get.

I know weather forecasts aren't hugely reliable in the sort of 2 week range.... but looking at it up to the 17th of July and seeing rain every day has me pretty seething

As a tourist I second this. I wasn't expecting constant sun and temperatures in the mid 30s but fucking hell. Its warmer in Sydney during mid winter.

I went to the one in Hamilton with my maw and da. Had to take back the weekly shop in a box which is about as much as I can remember

There used to be a free bus from our area that took folk to/from the Motherwell Fine Fare. There was an auld wifie who got on it that used to go in and make a beeline to where they had a trolley of cheap damaged and dented tins, some with the labels missing. She'd shake them in an attempt to guess their contents then take a few. Must have been a tense affair in her house at lunchtime playing 'tin roulette' to see if you were getting a bowl of soup, custard, or pedigree chum.

My mum and dad used to shop in the Easterhouse Fine Fare back in the day - you weren’t brave enough to work there were you?
