People's incompetence that cause you to have to work more to correct their mistakes.
Part of my job is to import cars into Germany for a certain group of people. Part of the import process is getting the vehicle inspected and certified that its specifications are to EU standard. The group of people I represent are granted certain exceptions and the paperwork is slightly different from the normal import certification. Every second vehicle I prepare fails this inspection and the wrong paperwork gets issued with the demand that the points picked up during the inspection are rectified before a pass certificate can be issued, even though the issuing authority knows that these vehicles have been granted exceptions on the points picked up during the inspections. It drives me nuts and costs me so much time sorting out their incompetence.
Your supposed to open a bag of crisps upside down 😡. It spreads the flavour, making them taste better instead of all settling at the bottom of the bag.
You are assuming they are filled the right way up at the factory 😀Quote:

A real pet peeve of mine is people saying Crisps and Wotsits etc as the same thing. As someone who’s worked 30 years in the Salty Snack industry
Potato Crisps crisps like Golden Wonder etc, are sliced fried potatoes. You should taste these in the factory while hot, absolutely amazing
Products like Wotsits (maize based) are blown into a shape from powder
On Wotsits the cheese flavour sticks to the product, so there’s no reason to eat the packet upside down. Imagine spending millions of pounds on Marketing, and someone can’t see the branding as it’s upside down
I’m out😀
Thats my go to line now, I am a fat **** because I was blown into shape by kebabs and chinese.Quote:

I endeavour to get it right myself in case you're ever listening.
Crisps.
Hate them. Hate the smell, hate the texture, hate how all the grease and crumbs and smell sticks to your fingers, hate how the foil packet is all greasy inside and sticks to the back of your hand.
Hate sitting in the canteen and lunch and everyone is eating some form of super odour pickled onion prawn cocktail roast chicken *****. Should be classed as chemical warfare.
Does this make me an influencer? :greengrinQuote:

Me too! And when the goalie keeps it out by just about doing enough.Quote:

Not everyone, my accounts are fine but my daughters friend's account was suspended yesterday for "suspicious activity". There is no evidence of anything untoward but her bank card was locked out.Quote:
