Being asked to answer the same security questions every time you are passed to a different department of the same company over the phone. Does my nut in. 😡

I had this with the Halifax. Eventually went old school and wrote a letter to them. Got the issue sorted no probs. Not ideal I know!

Walked through St James Quarter at the weekend, and someone was eating a packet of wotsits with the packet upside down

Something tells me you’re not taking this thread very seriously, Mr Whizz.

I'm with Mr Whizz here, eating from the wrong end of the packet is criminal behaviour.

Getting a packet of salt n shake crisps without the wee packet of salt, all I ****ing had was a packet of shakes 🤬

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 😀
A quick shake before you open is the answer.

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😀

I'm sure that's the correct way - it's the monkeys eat them or something like that.

My annual one, which has resurfaced earlier than normal this year in the announcement about Darren McGregor's testimonial.

It's "Festival Fringe", not "Fringe Festival".

Sometimes in life I feel I know some very specific things that I can pinpoint to exact times or people that I learned them from.

This is one of them, from yourself in one of your earlier annual versions of this peeve - years ago.

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?

One of mine recently is commentators referring to penalties as pens .

Those are even worse!

I can manage Pringles. Probably because those aren’t crisp enough to be classed as crisps.

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

My Dad worked at Golden Wonder and he brought home the just made crips they were great, best snacks ever!

Anyone else with Santander?

It appears everyone’s accounts in the UK have been removed from their accounts.

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.
Which is frustrating for her as she heads out to Greece today and has had to go old school and take folding money with her 🤔

Tills that print a receipt whether you want it or not. Morrisons, I'm looking at you.

I think it’s always safer to take your receipt, at least you can prove you bought the items

What’s wrong with you 😄 love crisps especially when having a drink or two. Bad habit but hey ho
