Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

[@mwooly63]

All of those are likely to lead to more questions
Just answer you're picking us supplies as on the run from killing the last tool who asked how your day was

Do you need a bag? Of course I fucking do you cunt.

Ha ha, are people really that against actually talking to other people?

I don't mind checkout staff trying to start a conversation. I actually think customer service in this country could be far more Americanised.

Plus if you get them talking it usually means you don't end up racing them getting your shopping into a carrier bag before there's an almighty pile up of groceries. When they do that I start taking my time really slowly just to annoy them a little.

It's when you get various people with a bucket at the end of the checkout that annoys me. No, I don't want my eggs at the bottom of the bag underneath my tins. It's a little bit "in yer face" collecting for me.

Cant deny a new stadium increases attendances  ( apart from poxfords )
Though shittys is a revamp of the ground - 2 new stands plus other changes at a £40 million cost ( IF they choose that route of course, can still go the route of a whole new stadium at Ashton Vale at a £92 million cost )

Or, you could say you have been finishing your replica model of the Angel of the north, made entirely of cheese.

How about a Magic Roundabout made of cheese?

Having to mediate between 2 mates who fall out every time we lose on a Weds night.

I didn't realise bingo was that competitive.

And people call me a miserable cunt...

You are.

Did he really ask what you have been up to?

I can't stand surly service industry staff, however that does seem to be the opposite end of the spectrum.

A smile and a how are you should be the minimum and the maximum I would expect of a supermarket checkout person.

That said, if you are that bothered about it, why not use the self-service checkouts?

I think what he actually said was, have I been busy?

I like surly staff, at least it's a natural and perfectly understandable response to their surroundings. Overt friendliness is pointless unless she's tasty and makes me think that she's some how attracted to me, in which case she can ask anything.

In America they call that good customer service. Pah.

Partly the problem. I think it's another awful Americanism creeping in. It's like when telesales people ask you how you are. I'm not American and don't like token small talk. Christ, I don't really like small talk with people I know.

[pauld]

Imagine what would really piss you off though - having to feign interest in the lives of miserable surly bastards who can't even be bothered to do you the courtesy of engaging in polite conversation, just a snarled "Shut up and pack the bags, boy, or I'll have you thrashed"

Do you twirl your moustaches at the checkout or just readjust the top hat to a jauntier angle?

Going to the barber for a short back and sides and coming out looking like something from a fucking middle-aged boy band.
