Posted similar before but when you’re sitting at work and open a packet of fruit pastilles and there’s no Orange flavoured ones in the pack at all. Gutted.

People who open a packet of fruit pastels in oner then complain about the lack of their favourite flavour

The fact it costs £16 for an “admin fee” to change the address on your tv license. They should be wearing a mask!

I feel shortchanged. There should be at least 3 x Orange ones at the expense of the BlackBerry flavoured ones!! 😤

[SaulGoodman]

The fact you get about 3 of each of the good flavours in a tub of roses and then are basically left with a tub full of ***** after eating about 9 chocolates out the thing.

Admin fees in general. A few years ago we had to move the dates of flights so we could come home early from holiday as my daughter was I'll and due to her condition we didn't want the hassle of explaining about it to a French doctor. Anyway I went in line changed the bookings myself, printed the tickets out myself and was charged £35 per ticket admin fee. There was no other human involved in any of this except me!! And do t get me started on booking fees for concert tickets etc. Highway robbery

The sheer number of threads on here that rapidly (usually by end of page 1) turn into annoying, tedious political bickering between (mostly) the same few posters..... Yawn!!

Gies a break!

Folk who stand still on moving walkways.

Folk who leave bags on the seat beside them on the train to deter other passengers.

Inconsiderate folk,,,, again;
Just enjoyed a rather nice walk from Roseburn down to the Shore via the Water of Leith walkway. Popped in to Crollas Ice Cream Parlour for a coffee (and maybe some churros 🤔) and needed to visit the toilet. They only have one toilet, male/female/accessible, I had to wait as it was occupied then a father and son (maybe 7/8) came out. I entered, locked the door and the toilet, with seat down had been urinated ALL over! I almost left as I wasn't needing that badly but then realised the woman waiting behind would assume I left it in that state.
So, after much cursing (imagine Mutley from Catch the Pigeon) I wiped down the toilet and made good.
How can anyone walk out of a public toilet and leave it in such a state,,,, doesn't bear thinking about the state of their own home!

I ****ing hate when that happens. Absolute catch 22 whether you walk out and look like the guy that done it or clean up someone else’s piss.

I generally ask once, if I am met with a grunt or a blank stare I just pick it up and toss it at them.

WTF even is that?

I hadn't noticed this before your post, now I'm seeing 9 out of 10 women on Facebook declaring that they are "living their best life" .

I really need to delete Facebook, it's just blood boiling material

i got rid of mine a year or so ago and it's been brilliant. people who I spoke to anyway are still around and every one else is, as expected, never heard from to no loss.

being free from social media is brilliant.

Get that a lot as I commute around the Cambridge area and am occasionally on the London train, take up a whole table. I always spread my paper out once I have politely asked them to move over a bit. Another pain (often the same folk) is the call on the mobile, "just wanted to touch base before the meeting" to which I always sigh with a FFS. Dont get me started on the suit jacket next to them like it's the golden fleece and not a cheap horrible creased mess.

Uber drivers that park in bus stops and don't move when the bus comes.

My latest one, older guy comes up to me in the pub and asks “is anyone using that seat” as me and the missus are seated at a table with three chairs around it so one is spare. I replied “no,help yourself” expecting him to take it away, he said “thanks”and plonked his erse on it at our table!

I ditched Facebook ten years ago when I began to lose respect for members of my family and their pathetic self-obsessed posts.

I was stunned 😁, a couple of regulars at the bar saw what had happened and were making faces at me to make us laugh. Turns out he is renowned for doing it.

I've had that a couple of times too! It's usually been when I've been out with friends though and it's turned in to a decent laugh with the stranger. The spoons on Waverley bridge seems to be bad for it, almost every time I'm there it happens. Maybe you need to work on having a less inviting demeanour.

I wouldnt have been able to contain myself. Id have bought him a drink though, or more likely persuaded him to buy us drinks

My old work used to do networking training. The "how to exit a conversation" techniques are worth noting down though.

I’ve always found that a good fart ends a conversation pretty quick.

Latest coroporate bollox in my work is "reaching out". They don't phone you, or book a meeting with you anymore, they now "reach out" to you.
