Things you hate IV

“Milk bottle tops”? Are they still a thing ? Are you living in the 1980s ?

 

Yes. I'm happy here. Luther sends his regards

 

And these same people drive.

 

Warn him not to sign for Milan !!!

 

This would “of” been me a couple of years back but even I have worked out the self scan now.

It’s alright, I don’t drive.

 

Yeah, the ‘hacking into NASA’ bunch I call them. Stood there furiously jabbing buttons and taking an age for no clear reason. Even more bizarrely they're quite regular at cash machines too.

 

But sometimes you do not have anything in the baggage area but the system thinks you do - you wait for a supervisor who just grunts and resets. These machines are not foolproof. The worst are car parks where you have to download, register and use an app to pay as more an mor eoften there is no alternative and frequently problems occur.
Technology is fine - when it works properly - but there also need to be "Plan B" for when it does not

 

The vast array of car park apps is just annoying

Also have tried numerous times to use tap and go at the Atria Shopping centre and still have to end up pressing for a paper ticket

 

Especially when about 90% of the 'Location Numbers' indicated are 'not recognised'. As and when the operator changes, they seem not to take down the old location plate(s) leaving the 'customer' the joy of playing 'Car Park Location Bingo.'

 

However equally annoying is when you press "brought my own bags" it says place them down and press ok, you do and it says "unexpected item in the bagging area".

Yes it's the bags you literally just told me to put there you annoying crone!

 

Couples who have to hold hands when walking in busy crowded and single line situations. More dumb people.

 

John Craven. What a boring c***

 

I didn't know he was still alive! He must be about 110 years old...

 

Everyone believing crazy plane woman has seen a shape shifting alien demon after watching a terrible quality video of her rant that shows absolutely nothing.

 

Wot?

 

Sounds like something I should've posted in the werewolf thread!

Some video going round on socials about a woman on a plane freaking out and screaming that someone wasn't real and all the hundreds of comments saying they believe her think she saw an alien or a demon rather than the more obvious possibility that she was off her face on pills and booze.

 

Russians

 

ChatGPT. Sadly none of the pilots or air hostesses are real anymore.

 

I hate email

when I started work nobody bothered moaning as you would have to write a memo , print it out and send it in the post. Now you can get your arse in your hand over the slightest inconvenience and then email win incoherent rant to 30 people in a matter of seconds.

I work with technology but miss the days of phones that only made calls and text , email that was limited to about 5 people in the organisation and the ability to complete disappear off the grid when you left work

 

Can't you just turn your phone off - or leave it at home when you go out in the evening?

 

Well said. Baffles me why people don't do this.

 

Some are incable to live their lives without knowing that their mate had broccoli for tea.

 

But then how would you post on WfcForums ?

 

Doesn't everyone else have their valet post on their behalf?

 

I knocked about with his daughter for a while. Quite a nice chap although that was 30 years ago now

 

Tell us more!!

 

BBC won’t allow me to

 

Ffing tennis....blanket coverage for two weeks on the BBC despite negligible British interest.....then complete blank in coverage till starts again

 

It’s ok. The BBC told me it’s alright for you to tell everyone, so you’re in the clear.

 

Yessssssss!
And it's been interfering with Bargain Hunt!

 

Any work events organised by idiots.

Work BBQ today at 12. Accepted in June, also emailed saying definitely in. Gave them some extension leads to help today.

One minute to 12 I'm told my name's not on the list and I won't get a ticket for food, so will have to wait to see if anythings left when everyone else is served.

Told them to f*ck themselves in so many words and went to Gregg's, came back and had lunch by myself.
Since pulled out of their organised race for life in anger.

I now will never get involved with any event they do, completely done with them.

One officious ****.

 

You should have demanded your extension leads back there and then.

 

Was just going to post the same !

 

Dog walkers who pick up their dog's poop then, instead of waiting until they reach a suitable bin, chuck the plastic poop bag and its contents into the nearest bush. What the hell is wrong with you! Dog walkers like you get dog walkers like me a bad name.

 

Utterly baffling behaviour.
