Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

[Hampden Diehard]

My phone automatically connects to the Glasgow City Centre WiFi whenever I’m in town. The Glasgow City Centre WiFi has never once worked on my phone. So I turn WiFi off so I can keep posting shite on here, then half the time forget to turn it back on whenever I get to work so my phone is using data for hours till I realise.

I've never been in a city yet where the wi-fi works decently.

The real danger with cards in a pub is you don't have the wad of notes turning into change jangling in your pocket to tell you it's time to call it a night.

Bought a bar of chocolate in a shop in the Livingston Centre yesterday. At the till looking to pay for it... ‘Do you know these are three for two at the moment?’ - Yeah, just the one will do though, thanks anyway. ‘Do you have a loyalty card?’ - No, I don’t. ‘Would you like to take one out?’ - No thanks, not in this shop that much. ‘It doesn’t cost anything, and you’ll get 10% off future purchases’ - No, really, thanks anyway. ‘Would you like a bag?’ - No thanks. ‘Do you want a receipt?’ - No, you’re OK.

I just wanted to buy a bar of feckin’ chocolate. Modern life would do yer’ tits in sometimes.

I feel you. Unfortunately some stores set their staff a weekly target of loyalty cards they have to sell and if the staff member doesn't hit that number they are called up to the office. They might hate asking you as much as you hate being asked. I agree it is irritating though.

Don’t get me wrong, the exchange between the girl at the till and myself was pleasant, courteous, and my replies were always genuine, I.E. ‘No thanks, I’m not in this shop that often’. I appreciate they, like the folk at the energy company pop-up stands in shopping centres I recently commented on, are doing a job. I always, always, respond to the ‘energy sales’ folk with a polite ‘no thanks’ or equivalent. Keep it short, but deliver it as cheerily as you can muster - given that in my head, I’m actually thinking ‘shove yer energy pop up stand right up yer arsehole’.

It wasn’t the lassie at the till, it was just that it was one bar of feckin’ chocolate. I was right in the mood for a quick, no-nonsense, chocolate v cash money swap situation, where both of us interacted for a brief moment of salesperson - customer bliss. Ooh err missus.

You've been reading the Business/corporate speak nonsense thread, haven't you?

Probably should be on the TV thread for this, but....

The way they introduce the judges on Strictly Come Dancing  really does my fucking head in.

In fact the whole show does my fucking head in.

I thought this was the old joke;

I asked the shop assistant "Can I have a Kitkat Chunky?"
She handed me a chunky Kitkat.
And I said "Naw, I wanted an ordinary kitkat- ya fat boot"

It was as touch and go for a day, but nothing a decent sleep couldn't fix.
