Well it's better than starting with 'so'!

Don't mind a short so, it's the long soooooo that grips my Scheiße.

Or folk who say "Thank you sooooo much" when you've just handed over some cash for a paper or whatever.

So does nobody think starting every answer with "well" is weird?

So strange to have that as a peeve.

Seen t-shirts for sale supporting NHS on Amazon, contacted them last week to see if any money is donated to NHS, still no comeback, also seeing people selling homemade facemasks on facebook at stupid prices, why not make and donate to care homes and caregivers and frontline staff, shameless profiteering

[CropleyWasGod]

The use of such expressions as "The ten-year anniversary".

It's the tenth anniversary 😤

I think people have been saying "Well...." for yonks.

As in "Well, I'm off, see you in the boozer......"

I think my tendency would be to start that sentence with “Right..”. Not sure if that is an Edinburgh thing. Or ‘Right so...’

[staunchhibby]

It is so

Not using "well" as the first word in response to a question though, which was my peeve.

Doubt you're being serious, and if you are I'm amazed anyone could be so pedantic or miss the point by such a margin.

What about "well salesman" if you ask someone what their job is who sells well's for a living?

Dishwasher loading. My wife can "fill" the dishwasher with about 4 items. She constantly puts things on top of each other too. Have tried to explain that this creates a shadow where the water spray can't get to but it's like trying to explain loans/advances to a Jambo.

I have a similar issue with my wife about packing shopping at the supermarket - I always do the heavy things first to make sure they won't crush lighter/delicate things. She just fires them all in. I've tried to explain the logic behind it, but its never gotten through to her.

Doing the shopping alone the last few weeks has been a small positive in this awful time

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 😁

Snap!

My only problem here is that I've packed my basket in a similar way where possible with heavy goods at the bottom.

So I end up loading my lighter goods first and trying to get the heavier ones infront of them while the belt edges down away from me.

It'll be a challenge on the cube one day.

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 😂😂😂😂

[Pretty Boy]

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!!!

What is the best way to pack the shopping?

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”.

I put all my drink at the bottom of the 'bag for life', along with the loo roll.

Eggs on top.

Err...

That's it.

😁

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! 😁

Folk leaving their engines running unnecessarily while parked. Usually just so they can listen to their shan 'tunes' without draining the battery. I get that some people dont care about air quality and carbon emissions but why waste your own money on petrol fumes?

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

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.
