Doing the shopping alone the last few weeks has been a small positive in this awful time :greengrin
I’m with you on this I unload my trolley onto belt accordingly too so the stuff comes in order the way I want it packed 😁Quote:

It'll be a challenge on the cube one day. :dizzy:
Wow, men complaining about packing shopping bags! 😕
My ex went ballistic if I didnt pack the bags properly. Christ almighty, chuck it in the bag, throw it in the boot of the car and tip it all out when you get home. Stopped going with her eventually....divorce followed soon after 😂😂😂😂
I used to go shopping with my granny on a Friday afternoon and she was a nightmare about how the trolley was loaded, how the checkout belt was loaded, how the bags were packed and then how the bags were put in the car boot. She was a lovely person and everyone liked her but absolutely no one wanted to take her shopping.
Now I go my own shopping I am exactly the same. I do the weekly shop alone because there is always a fight if the trolley and packing isn't done exactly as I would do them.
Just like her older sister!!!Quote:

I've done more shopping on my own than ever before, and every time I make an erse of it.
At least there's nobody there to give me grief for it.
I don’t think you are Scottish. Everyone knows the response to “How are you?” is “Not bad”, or “Yeah, not bad”.Quote:

Dishwashers and trolleys I can definitely identify with. That and anyone else putting stuff into the fridge or freezer in random places.
WITHOUT ORDER THERE IS ANARCHY!!!!!!!
I put milk, cleaning stuff, washing up liquid and any similar type containers up first, I have a couple of bags on the go and put them at either end of bags and build up stuff in between. I like to keep similar type boxes, plastic trays etc that stack well together and build my bag accordingly, bread always last, I hate crushed bread! 😁Quote:

Theres a golf gti that likes parking on my quiet sidestreet and the guy just sits there, usually with his mates or family members, sometimes drinking and sometimes having a wee joint with his engine running. And its not a quiet engine. It happened at after midnight once and I went out raging and told him to GTF. Him and his mates gave me the hard man stares but just drove off. But they keep coming back, i dont know whats so attractive about my street:confused:
I divide the trolley into different sections depending on how I'm going to pack my bags. Normally I have one cool bag for frozen and cooled items, one that will be emptied in the kitchen, one to be emptied in the cellar and an anything else bag. Obviously packed with the heavier less likely to be damaged items at the bottom. When shopping with the Mrs I'm chief trolley packer, belt loader and bag distribution engineer, leaving her to pay the cashier.Quote:

Threads that turn into puns. Not sure if it was ever funny but now the novelty’s worn off they’re just tedious.
When an organisation gives people the option not to pay, the people that come on and say “you’ll still get my money....”
I know the intentions are probably good but there’s bound to be people that can’t afford to keep paying, to me the unnecessary boasting is just going to make other people who maybe can’t afford to keep paying feel ****.
If you can afford to keep paying , good for you, there’s no need to tell the world though, just get on with it. (This was actually a gripe about my boys football club, not Hibs, although I have seen it a lot over the last 24 hours)

Charity adverts asking for donations on TV, there seems to be an ever increasing amount of them.
So far this morning £2 a month for
Kittens
Caged animals for the tourist selfie trade
Tigers
Lions
Every day I see at least half a dozen adverts ranging from £2 to £5 a month for every imaginable cause. Seems like a massive con to me.
I watch Salvage Hunters on Quest and every ad break has the same advert for Erectile Dysfunction . It's a long awkward advert while sitting there watching with the bairns .Quote:

Yes, I'm sure the nurses of today are going to work and thinking 'well at least it's not Spanish flu' or people being made redundant take solace in the fact that it's not as bad as the great depression.
Do people apply this to other things in life? 'Heart attack? Get a grip and stop moaning, it's not bloody cancer.'
Have to say I never see this at all. I must live in a bubble :greengrinQuote:

Unfortunate in the sense that when you're out for a night of entertainment you don't need some tanked up idiot laying in to what was then a young lassie because of who her dad was/is,,,,it's not like it was a Roy "Chubby" Brown gig!
I had no idea that she was Kenneth Calman’s daughter, just never made the link.Quote:

I'll keep an eye out for her in 2021. :aok:

This has probably been mentioned earlier in the thread (quite possibly by me [emoji15]) but people who share crap on Facebook without actually reading the initial post/comments properly. Someone I know who lives in Orkney shared a lost dog the other day. 1) the dog went missing in Missouri; 2) the post was from 2015; 3) the dog had been reunited with its owner in 2015. A follow on from that would be people who don't delete, or at least update their 'missing' posts when their pet or belongings are traced.

TikTok, started off as a very popular social media app where folk shared short videos, some funny, some factual, some dance etc.
Today, it's nothing but glory hunting wannabes, and there's no better way to raise your profile than get some flesh out there. The amount of videos where there are quite young girls daring to reveal as much of their assets as possible without breaching the guidelines is ridiculous.
The latest challenge is the "bounce test", wear the smallest top you dare and bounce asking to a track and see what pops up. For any pervs out there, you will never see anything as it's policed quite well, but the innuendo is there and this is mostly young girls who encourage you to follow them on other platforms that may not be so well moderated.
I'm all for folk empowering themselves, and there's no room for haters, but do these individuals have no self respect?
Stop watching them then!Quote:

And so the cycle continues (pun not intended)Quote:
