Likewise people at the store check out fumbling through their bag/pockets for their purse or wallet.Quote:

My Hibs oven gloves do the trick nicely, probably because they're Hibs class.Quote:

No she did not, I then took a seat further along the carriage and wondered how long it would be before I was asked to move. Lo and behold the lassie in my seat and her pal got off anyway at the next stop which was Preston, she could have told me that!Quote:

It's not hard to do and they always announce on Virgins trains which coaches are unreserved in case you don't have a reservation. They repeat the announcements at every stop too. Anyhow it really pisses me off. I pick my seat specifically for every journey. :-)Quote:

On a similar theme the Scotsman and evening news websites when trying to read on your phone.Quote:

Also those links on Newsnow. The ones that have titles like "20 things you didn't know about Tinseltown". They take ages to watch and have confusing arrows that inevitably take you to an ad page.Quote:

Job adverts that describe the salary as 'competitive' or 'excellent base salary'......just bloody tell us what ball park we're in.
Just took a days holiday and had a fairly lengthy interview for him to advise at the end they deal with 'low basics, high commission'. Surely nobody is going to almost half their salary in the hope of making it back up through commission so why waste people's time?!
Probably should have asked myself to be fair but it's never an easy conversation to broach when acting keen about the job and not only interested in the money.
It's about time the taboo about asking about the salary was put to bed. It's ridiculous, the plain facts are we all work to live to a certain standard so of course the salary level plays a huge part in the jobs we apply for. Thankfully my current boss recognised that and simply asked me what I wanted after he had heard what I had to sayQuote:

If I had a business or was interviewing it'd be the first thing I'd be expecting them to enquire about and don't see the problem with asking early doors.
Yes been in that position myself, in response to the accusation that I was being driven by money rather than the job. I asked the interviewer if he would consider taking a wage cut when he decides to move on to a job that he considered a step up from his current role. After some stuttering he said "no of course not". There you go then I said "maybe the next person that asks will get a better response then". I then upped and left as had already decided I couldn't work there after allQuote:

In the end it turns out I'm paid way above what my job is advertised elsewhere, but it's still a basic thing that should be advertised for every job
Ahem! I'm still here you know! :greengrinQuote:

I'd be looking at the hotels you're staying at. Any I've been at, you're only allowed at the outdoor restaurant/cafe which is plastic seating. The indoor restaurant they won't let you in dressed like that.Quote:

You're right. The hotel was actually more than decent but obviously not willing to hold up their own dress code that was openly on display for all to see. At the end of the day the hotel have the responsibility to enforce their dress code but it's still minging from individuals who ignore/don't understand it.Quote:

I'll add bus drivers who pull in at a bus stop then immediately put on their right indicator before happily sitting for an age whilst people get on and off the bus.Quote:

Finally drivers who overestimate the size of their car and think they are driving an HGV. I use Pilrig Street quite often and with parking on both sides it can be tight but 2 cars can comfortably pass each other. I got stuck behind a Citroen C1 this morning who insisted on slamming their brakes on and swerving about every time a car appeared on the other side of the road.
Bus drivers whose sole purpose is to see how many human skittles they can topple on their bus by jerking on the brakes when slowing down or coming to a stop. We had one of them yesterday. He did it not just once or twice but the whole trip. I was amazed that no passengers were injured.Quote:

people who can't park their car along a kerb without leaving huge space at the front/back, or those who park across 2 spaces along a kerb - I can semi understand the 2 spaces in a car park for avoiding scratches, but this?
people who sit in a queue of traffic waiting to get through lights, then when at the front, don't watch for them changing, lengthening the queue and the wait behind them.
sets of traffic lights in close proximity that aren't synced properly, ending up with green lights at one that can't move as the other is red.
FAQ sections on websites that never have answers to any relevant questions.

It's a relatively easy thing to do. They even get you to do it during the driving test. My particular peeve, apart from people who can't keep their car between 2 white lines, is people who drive straight into a parking space then can't reverse out without causing havoc.Quote:
