Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Enter Bayne's Bakers in Kincardine.

Me: 2 rolls with ham and tomato, please

Asst Manager: Sorry, we only have plain ham rolls or ham and salad

Me: Do you have any tomatoes?

Asst Manager: Yes.

Me: Well, can you cut up one of the tomatoes and put it inside my ham rolls?

Asst Manager: No. We're not allowed to do that.

Me: So, let me get this straight. You have ham rolls and you have tomatoes but you can't combine the two to create a ham and tomato roll?

Asst Manager: That's right. I know it's ridiculous but that's the new company policy.

Me: But I bought a ham and tomato roll in Bayne's in Glenrothes, last week.

Asst Manager: Ah, not all the branches have had the new instructions yet.

Me: Can you sell me two ham rolls and a whole tomato then?

Asst Manager: Sorry, no, it's against company policy. Would you like to complain?

Me: Not really, I just want two ham and tomato rolls .

Asst Manager: I think it would be a lot easier just to complain.

I couldn't argue with her logic and we parted on amicable terms. :lol:

So you just left the place on your zimmer frame to go and buy a packet of Werther's Originals instead, I presume? ;):P

Werther's Chewy Toffees are the dog's gonads. :D

Having to use notes in the self service things in supermarkets.

Had to put a fiver in, wasn't in the best of conditions. Didn't accept it the first time, but it did the second.

Took ages to process though.

It's the same problem with the FOBT's in the bookies. :ph34r:

Werthers Originals... We had some of them last week. I only had two, but bloody hell they were brilliant.

I remember when I was a wee boy my grandfather used to sit me on his knee and give me some of them. It was just like the adverts!

Owen Coyle's sole purpose in life is to lose me money.

Gambling on Mickey Mouse Cup Games in England between "big" clubs and "wee" clubs is akin to shooting yourself in the foot.

It was so close to working, too.

I'm still up for the season, but a win tonight would've really been belting. As always seems to be the case, I was just the one goal away.

Ah well :)

Not when you lay the EPL team against lower league opposition 3 days in advance, then back them just before KO knowing fine well the odds have increased because the EPL team is fielding a reserve side.

Praise Vectron! Betfair

Point taken, Fudge.

But most "amateur" punters just work from a coupon picked up in the High Street Shop.

sounds like someone 'asking' you to complain to sort their own problems.
