people that put blackcurrant in a pint of Guinness, especially when you forget and they look at you when you return from the bar like you have just pissed on there kids.
That concoction needs to go on a UN ban list. If people don't like Guinness they should leave in the barrel instead of ruining it. Best they stick to a lemonade.
When you put your items on the checkout belt in the order you intend to pack them (heavy items at bottom, separate meat, frozen items together etc.) and the Doris on the checkout starts leaning into the middle of the belt for some reason to scan those items first instead of just scanning the ones at the front first and generally just fucks up the order and you just have this expression...
I agree 100%. I do tell them sometimes that I've loaded the belt that way for a reason. They usually do it right then. Once i walked out and just left the stuff on the belt because the cashier started arguing with me about it.
Wait, you went through the effort of getting your shopping, but walked out without it because the cashier annoyed you? That's an impressive level of commitment to being pissed off!

I've done the same in Gillingham Tescos. A whole months shop as well, I'm pretty regimental in how I load the conveyor belt and when the lady asked "need any help with your packing" I asked her not to throw it through at the speed of sound. Which she then did, this was also a long time before carrier bags had to be paid for and about half way through she announced she had no more bags. And continued to fling everything through regardless. "Enough" said I
"Can you hold on until we get some more bags please"
And she ignored me, so I fucked off leaving all the shit in bags in the trolley and the rest on the belt. I can't even say it felt good, I was foaming at the mouth at her lack of being able to do one thing, I didn't even ask her to help apart from not try and break a checkout speed record and then I had to brave Jeremy Kyle's holding pen at Chatham Asda and do all that shit again
When choosing a checkout, it's not always a case of the shortest queue: you need a teenage cashier - bored witless and too lethargic to throw your stuff down to the bagging area at break-neck speed - or a pensioner - arthiritic and unable to do the same even if they wanted to. Avoid middle-aged women: they're on a mission and they hate you.
I have a solution, move to Scotland where some supermarkets have introduced slow lanes where the process of packing and paying can take as long as you want, aimed at the retired and lonely, but certainly a good idea

They've introduced slow lanes at Homebase too. I can never seem to find the fast lane though, every cashier seems to take 5 minutes to scan two paintbrushes and a bottle of white spirit.
People handing out/ asking for stuff. No I don't want a yoghurt / metro etc.
Deliveroo
Even worse is that people actually queue up for those things. Often see a line of people at Liverpool Street station for a free box of cereal - one that costs about 50p in a shop and contains about 14 cornflakes.

Doesn't surprise me. You could drop a ten pence piece in Liverpool Lime Street and cause utter chaos.
Have to say though - 5 world titles, 7(?) Masters and 6(?) UK's, the most number of 147's, the most number of centuries, loads of ranking events and yet he is still an underachiever.
Just shows how talented he is.
So that's what annoys me. The fact that Ronnie's career stats aren't even more ridiculous than they are now.
(Sorry if stats are off, was off the top of my head).
Neil Harris - his face winds me up and his interview style. It's not the fact it's he's Millwall either as I liked Kenny Jacket when he was manager there. It's just Neil Harris. And he's gonna get more air time this weekend because of the flat cap fashion show taking place at White Hart Lane
My 6 year old being sent home from school with suspected chickenpox and knowing got 10-14 days of misery ahead of us as he will no doubt give it to the 3 year old too.

I have liked that but only in the absence of a "my deepest sympathy" button

I have high standards. ;-). And sometimes a short fuse.

The younger they get it the better. Mine was 3 when she got it and although a bit drowsy at times, was fine. We went away 2 days after she was diagnosed and apart from the spots you wouldn't have known she was ill.

My 4 year old got sent home from nursery yesterday with it. School made out she had high fever, so rushed home from London, only to find her buzzing about on her scooter at 30mph. She's covered in spots this morning but completely fine in herself.
Could have something to do with getting about 2 hours sleep thanks to my 3 year old daughter last night!
I had a shocker in terms of sleep last night as well. That's 2 out the last 3 nights. Monday night into Tuesday morning I remember nodding off at 3.30am, up at 5.30am. Last night nodded off at 2am up at 6am
Not as bad as only 2 hours but feel like utter crap and this is a pressurised time at work so not good
The worst thing is that our youngest is teething, she was brilliant last night for once, and her sister picked that night to kick off half the night.
Hoping tonight is better for you mate. I'm done with today
Fucking massive groups of Feminazi vegans gathering in the middle of campus shouting through megaphones in people's faces all week because it's 'international Women's week! (Somehow a day has become a whole week?!)
Apparently I oppress women the same way I oppress animals just because I am male!
Classic logic there.
I enjoyed eating a sausage roll as I walked past today.
Seriously. Do these people not realise that by shouting bullshit like this they are actually harming both the actual women's rights movement and the actual animal rights movement.

'taking each day as it comes'
WHAT?
People with no sense of urgency during rush hour.
