BFTD Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Mine's far too logical for a "face made of shite" insult, alas. I done brung him up wrong. Still, sounds like our weans know well enough to avoid being like their fathers, which is half the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 People who don't stand in a proper queue at the chip shop. The usual procedure at the chippy I use is for the front end of the queue to be at the wrapping point of the counter and people lining back along the counter and round the corner (depending on how busy it is). Lately however I have noticed that some people are coming in, placing their order when asked, and then standing away from the counter against the opposite wall.(nothing to do with my personal hygiene I'm sure), other customers then come in and don't know if these people are actually in the queue or just standing back waiting on someone being served, result they either stand at the end of the fragmented queue or go to the end of the queue at the counter, which can cause ill-feeling. I've seen some people almost standing outside when there is plenty of room in the shop because people are not closing up the space in the queue. If we don't queue properly the result is pandemonium. Also, people who don't give the full list of what they want at the one time. The couple in front of me had ordered their fish suppers or whatever and paid for them, which is how it is done in this chippy. When the fish suppers were ready and wrapped they then decided that they wanted bottles of red kola, some pickled onions, various packets of different flavour crisps (which involved them having a discussion as to what flavours) and a carrier bag. They then had to pay for these additional items. They had stood about for five minutes or so waiting on their fish suppers getting cooked and they had ample opportunity to ask for these additional items during that time but that would have been too sensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The fly whizzing around my living room, but more annoyingly when it lands on my TV. Ordinarily I'd just be annoyed but I'm watching Ice Hockey so not only am I annoyed I'm also getting confused differentiating between the puck and the fly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send a text or whatever. Even worse - when people are driving away after a visit, hooting the horn when they've gone ten yards down the road even though you're standing watching them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 This one bint in the office has the heating on full blast this morning. It's fucking cooking in here. You can't say anything either as she's round at the manager's door quicker than you can say menopause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Folk in filter lanes who sit there until the arrow changes green, even though there is f**k all coming. Just go you dildo.

Boghead ranter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The bit about the chippy queue... I do that. My local chippy isnt big enough to wait at the saucing station. Its horses for courses im afraid. If anyone ever sees me using a chipper that has a 'saucing station', please shoot me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The bit about the chippy queue... I do that. My local chippy isnt big enough to wait at the saucing station. Its horses for courses im afraid. Exactly. If you stand at the counter while they're cooking your fish then you're blocking the people behind from coming forward and ordering. My chippy fries the fish to order but has the steak pies and white puddings and stuff on the hotplate (whatever that thing is called) so people buying one of those can be served and out the shop before the fish is ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put order in at counter and pay. Get a receipt with a number on it, take a seat or stand out way if seats full. Everything cooked to order. Number called, Salt and vinegar on everything, lots of vinegar, take order and leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
