I can't stand it, but there are some good deals around if you're willing to do your research . I've been waiting about 3 months to buy some sit/stand retractable legs for my desk, £100 off today for waiting a bit. That'll do me.

Christmas is coming very soon after for that anyway?

Why would I wait even longer when it's at a price I'm willing to pay?

They often whack the price up to the RRP a month or so before and then the BF discount is off the RRP rather than the average price throughout the year.

Which is why I said you need to do your research and things like camelcamelcamel are so useful.

It's even worse when people push them home and leave them in the street

I’d imagine it’s a big part of why Aldi/Lidl and others have the ones you put a quid in. Entices people to return the trolley.

That said, you probably view that as telling us how to live our lives

We all have a choice to do our shopping elsewhere - so no, it’s not telling us how to live our own lives.

Having to be age verified at self service checkouts when buying Zero alcohol beer. Why is it necessary, and why can’t it be automated? I do look clearly over 18!

You can tell a lot about a person from car parks alone. Encroach across spaces, park in a disabled/parent bay without qualifying for either, leave your trolley to roam free, all hallmarks of a twat

Had the radio on earlier, the woman said "That's such a bop" about a song.

When on the phone to people and they stop mid-sentence to say hello, to check you’re still there. Yes, i am. I’m not talking because I’m listening to you!!

This is mainly old people. We were raised to not talk over people, not sure that generation was…

TBF I think because in the old days there would be some static on the line even if silent and these days when the phone detects silence it doesn’t send anything I think so it’s actual silence.

Using the tram sometimes for work.

People with bo, people who speak on their phone at the top of their voice with it on speaker, people who play games full blast.

Forgot my ear plugs today and about to have a breakdown.

TBH same goes for any public transport. I was on a train a few weeks ago and got really wound up by some greedy fucker eating a baguette extremely noisily in the seat across the aisle. Largely a very crinkly wrapper I think but his chewing and swallowing was also quite loud.

Ask them to turn it off. We all need to start doing it and enforcing social norms again. Be the Karen you wish to see.

People fucking queuing to queue

Specifically at airports when you’re boarding the plane in groups. People are blocking the fucking queue because they’re hovering around so desperate to be first in the queue for their group. By doing so completely blocking off the whole area and entrance the queue no one knows what the fuck is happening and just becomes a moshpit

i fucking hate people, what the fuck is wrong with everyone

don’t get me started on the fucking baggage claim and people standing right up against the edge blocking everyone off (i think i have about 4 posts in this thread on it)

also i often go sit at another gate that’s empty just to be away from the zoo, and people come and sit 2 seats away from me in an empty gate. whole fucking airport and they need to come sit by me

Something I did like: landed at Gatwick on that Thursday the week before last when all that suspicious package thing was going down. Like always, touchdown, seatbelt signs off, loads of people up and queuing down the aisle. But because of everything going on they were made to sit back down in their specific seats. With a silly, sour look on their faces.

Only thing is we were there two hours before letting us off

Have never understood that rush after landing. Almost everyone has to go and wait for baggage anyway.

Strange you can buy a non alcoholic beer in a pub when under 18 but not at a supermarket

Yes and also you’ve likely sat for multiple
hours, you might gain what…2/3 minutes by rushing 4 rows forward before you inevitably join a queue in the aisle anyway?

i do wish they would sort something out for connecting flights - like specifically call names out on the speaker to leave first for those who actually need it. I’ve only been super tight on a connection a handful of times but everyone seems to use it as an excuse to bolt out of their seat and bypass the honour system

Acid reflux.

Never suffered from it before and then over the last few weeks started getting it quite regularly.

Very fucking annoying.

It’s horrible, get some medical advice about it. Can lead to something nasty if it goes on for a long time.

I was on tablets Omeprizol (spelling) for a couple of years then read that there could be issues if you take them for a prolonged period so a year ago I stopped taking them. Never had heartburn since!
