Surly staff at recycling centres. Dinny put that in there!

You're lucky I'm keeping you in a job, ya scruff.

Unless I'm missing something, that's a bit unfair is it not?

They're only doing their (badly paid) job.

That doesn't bother me, its when they can see you are struggling with stuff and still sit in their bloody booth watching you. Asked for a hand with a fridge freezer once. Nae chance!!

Top tip for that is to take something along that they think they can sell on - they're over like a shot to help out.

I suppose they maybe think well you got it into the car so you can get it out.

Someone told me their wages aren't that bad.

Do you mean places like Seafield?

Maybe it's cause I'm a woman, but any time I've gone there, they've come over to help me without me even having to ask.

I'm not a woman, but have always found the staff at Seafield very helpful.

To be fair, they are probably instructed not to help anybody due to H & S rules. If they put their back out helping someone and then claim against their employer. (It's not that the employer cares two hoots about the worker's back - it's the possible claim that concerns them.)
This is the way of society nowadays. "Thou shalt not help anybody in case there's a lawsuit".

There's also the fact that about 150 people per day expect them to help hump their scrap. If you can't carry it alone then take someone with you, you wouldn't expect the cashier at tescos to help you carry the family shopping would you.

And then they get snapped up by another club where they are hailed as a saviour then proceed to go through the same scenario (to the power 'n').

Aye! And if soaps are meant to be about real life, how come nobody in soaps ever stays home and watches soaps?

Students and St Patricks Day. 'Oh I'm an 8th Irish'. Aye? **** off.

See also the utter muppets who order a pint of Guinness, screw up their face as they clearly dislike it then justify it because 'it's Paddys day eh?'

Soaps aren't meant to be about real life though are they? That would be very boring.

Some size of car I must've had to get a fridge/freezer in it.

FYI it was a van, I stopped a passerby in the street to help me drag it out the garage and shove it in the van. Could hardly ask the geezer to accompany me to the recycling unit 20 miles away from where I live, now could I?

Someone tips their ashtray of rollup butts next to my lock up. There's a litter bin not 10 paces away.

Now imagine at the other end when word gets out that the staff at the recycling unit help you cart your stuff from the car. There'd be 186 fridges, cookers and washing machines per day that the poor sod would have to hump.

Dress down Friday, why? Only confirms to me that those who dress badly for work dress equally if not worse when dressed casually. For others it becomes a competion to see who has the best or most expensive "casual" wardrobe.

So you're ready and go out straight after work feeling comfortable.
