WeAreElgin Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Folk who pronounce Kenya 'Keen-ya'. For all I know that could be the correct pronounciation, but it irritates me Are they from Seth efrica? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Do they say "Get the f**k out if here as quick as you can" No, the signs actually read 'Chateau du Lait' - makes all these furriners think it's dead posh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Do they say "Get the f**k out if here as quick as you can" I wish they did. They point out to cyclists in minutes the distance to the utopia that is George Square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also pronounced Matt Damon's name as "Dah-mon" the other day. Fucking baffling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiliano ZaBankie Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My wife seems incapable of working out how to use the wee cardboard tabs on boxes with cling film and tin foil in them. Or that there is a cutting edge on the box to keep them straight. Result ages spent trying to even up the fecking foil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 To be fair, some of the movie ones make for good reading when you're alone, bored and having literally nothing else to do with life That's what P&B is for 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm all set to start a new job on Monday, having completed a mass amount of paperwork for it, background checks etc. which is fine, I'm looking forward to something different. Only for some fucking HR woman to phone me this afternoon because I hadn't supplied an official email address for a reference in a job I'd had nearly 6 years ago. I asked if it was important and if so she could just phone the number I'd left. Nope, she was insistent I had to supply my line manager's official email address. I'd have loved to have seen her face when I told her we would both struggle there as he died a few months after I left. This is almost verbatim the issues I'm trying to sort out with my new job. It's a fucking nightmare; security checks, fucking utility bills, references from companies I haven't worked for in 5 years who probably won't even remember me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fucking nightmare; security checks, fucking utility bills, references from companies I haven't worked for in 5 years who probably won't even remember me. I understand that it's pretty important to check out my work history to a certain extent but I fail to see the relevance in pestering someone I've never met about a job completely unrelated to what I'm starting, which I left over 4 years ago. See also; the difficulty in attaining a utility bill when everything is paperless and you don't have a printer - the only thing I have is our landline bill which is still in my wife's maiden name. I want my 20p from the library back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Speaking of Starbucks. Thing that gets me is the look on people's face when you do a random act of kindness. Payed for a guy's coffee in Starbucks when he started fumbling about for his wallet. Looked at me like WTF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Why would you pay for some strangers coffee? I thought that was a bit weird too. Help someone out if they're a bit short, sure, but pay the whole thing because they're fumbling a bit? Seems a bit patronising, or maybe like you're after a winch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Why would you pay for some strangers coffee? It's called 'Paying it forward' Like when you are at Tesco & some old dear is paying & struggling to get the exact change. You see what she needs and give it to the checkout person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they're actually short, which is a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half Canadian so I'm maybe stereotypically apologetic/kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a stranger offer to pay for me within Starbucks, I'd be giving the same look. It does bring me to another annoyance, people who despite queuing never have their money ready to pay. Instead wait until the last possible moment and take ages fumbling about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
