My son hasnt been feeling too well of late and has a rash over his body, thinking it may be measles or chicken pox decided to take him to the drop in centre this morning to be safe
Whilst waiting in a quarantined area he got restless being held so cried to be let down
These two little kids came over and started pointing in his face shouting that he was a naughty baby, all whilst my poor sod stood there unknowing what they were saying but terrified due to the force of their words - Parents came and got them but no bloody apology or acknowledgement to either me or my wife for leaving my son scared and upset!!
Let’s hope the little fuckers caught something nasty while they were there.
Nah that's not right, just kids themselves. Parents should know better. @ForeverAddickted hope your son feels better soon.
it's the only way some people learn. Maybe something debilitating or terminal
Wtf? Little kids?
Starting to think @snowinberlin is either fake or just a WUM.
Waiting for a flight home at Glasgow and went for a bite to eat.
Was all good and ordered a chicken salad then washed it down with 2 pints of peroni, walked past the Krispy Kreme donut stall and had a salty caramel cheesecake one.

2 people at my olds work who I thought were really good mates and I knew before we worked together.
They know shit thats been going on with me and the missus. Go for drinks tonight with a bunch of mates from my old job. Turns out they've all been told shit about the situation. 90% of which isn't even true. And then shit continues to get spread on a WhatsApp chat about me whilst I'm there.
Call them up for advice on the rash (as was last night when it first appeared) - Son was asleep during the call (10pm) yet was forced to wake him as they refused to talk to me whilst he was "unconsious", only managed to wake him up for a few minutes before he fell asleep again which I explained to the little prick on the phone
Just got a response that if we couldnt keep him awake then he'd be classed as unconsious and an ambulance would be despatched
In the end put the phone down as they refused to think that a baby @ 10pm would be exhausted and would so want to sleep - I get the fact that these people are just reading from a script but surely there is a strong difference between someone being unconsious and sleeping, i.e. fair enough if the person wasnt responding when you try to wake them then their unconsious, if they're waking briefly and then falling straight back to sleep then its just an indication of tiredness... Really winds me up as would have potentially resulted in an ambulance being called for no reason when all me and my wife wanted was some advice!!
Problem with the call centre people on 111, they’re reading from a script & usually aren’t medically trained - 9 times out of 10, their reply is visit A&E. In theory, it’s a great idea, the reality is less great with that service.
People complaining they cant take dogs into a local show tomorrow, we’ve had air temperatures around 77c even when overcast, hotter when the sun shows itself. My dogs haven’t been out the door since Tuesday and they are still hanging. FFS leave them at home.
Trying to find the "Unsubscribe" in an annoying email notification
Fair enough some are clear enough at the bottom but sometimes you have to turn into Sherlock Holmes to bloody locate it
Then you get the type of email where you unsubscribe to one but the website has you subscribed to another 30 emails due to other products!!
AND NO ITS NOT PORN YOU DIRTY B******S
Or the old "Thanks for unsubscribing to this email you receive once a month. Please allow 48 hours and 480 more emails to come through before your auto unsubscribe to complete".
People who stand on the travelator and block you, it's meant to make you walk faster knob heads
At airports this is the most annoying, families that allow their kids spread out across the travelator like they are forming a wall to defend a free kick.
People at work who book meetings between lunch hours 12-2pm
100% always done by people who lunch at 12pm and book meetings for 1pm or 1.30pm yet you'll never see a meeting booked for 12pm.
Especially when they confirm that lunch will be served during the meeting - Just another way to ensure that your at your desk for the rest of the day and that you dont get an genuine lunchbreak!!
Whenever you open the box it’s half full. I know manufacturers say this is due to settling in transit, so why put them in such oversized boxes, put them in smaller boxes and that’ll keep the contents nice and snug and I won’t feel so cheated!
Feelings of vicarious embarrassment over stuff I have no control over, especially when it happens on an international scale. The other night I was eating my dinner in a pub that had ITV on the tv. A family of Americans came in and sat down right in front of the telly and started watching just as Emmerdale came on. I had a real urge to tell them that we don't all watch this crap, it's just what northerners do to keep senile delinquents off the streets.
The monetization of everything on Trip Advisor. We visited a beautiful waterfall yesterday. Simply drove up, parked in the free car park and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of free of charge. Anyone who read the reviews though could be forgiven for thinking that they were only accessible via a £35 coach trip.
Circle line trains. Twice today (there & back) I waited for almost 10 mins for a circle line train where 2 district line & 3 metropolitan line ones came & went. Ffs !! I used to think the underground was the envy of the world. Not any more.
That's normal. Circle line is a poorish service. I avoid if I can.
Only real way to get from Victoria to Liverpool Street.
Two stops to Oxford Circus then Central Line is good.
Since we don't have a thread about Things That Faintly Amuse You, I'll stick this here: that thing where you know for definite the train won't be arriving for five minutes, but then one person starts running to the platform, and because one person starts running, then everybody starts running. Even though the train isn't there. You can see it isn''t there. People are so easily led.

It is to keep them fresh and retain the flavour for as long as possible. They do the same with crisps.

Bet they couldn't wait to get back home to watch the real high brow stuff like Keeping up with the Kardashians and Man vs Food.
So called experts convince members of the public to buy a load of old toot. Then, when it goes to auction, it always makes a loss. The team that have lost the least is then declared the winner & everyone celebrates like they've just won the world cup.
In the old days when the internet was young, smaller and not dominated by corporates, you could Google practically any word and one of the first things you'd see would be a dictionary definition. This would be followed by other interesting and useful information about the subject. In those days a simple internet search was (or at least, could be) an education.
Nowadays, no matter how obscure your chosen word, the returned search will almost certainly be the name of some company, product or brand. Searching the internet is no longer educational, it's just unwanted window shopping.

I've noticed that, the general conclusion is that the market traders know exactly what their stuff is worth with the objective then being to get the money back you paid with any surplus being wiped out on fees, total waste of time, just so some plebs can get on TV

Try define: word.
Cheers Canters, I always go for the more downmarket 'meaning' myself. Does the trick if it's a definition I want, but does nothing to replace the spontaneous learning that's been lost through corporatisation.
The complete fuckwit contestants who can't answer the easiest questions ever on Tipping Point. You wonder how they even get dressed in the morning and live

Have to agree. It seems the object of the show is to be the team that loses the least amount of money........OUR money. We fund this programme.

I remember a contestant on The Chase. The question was, Which of these vocalists was the lead singer in The Commodores? A. Lionel Richie B. Marvin Gaye C. Stevie Wonder. She pressed for Stevie Wonder and said, 'I've never heard any of them.'

Luckily it went to a client I have dealt with previously and who knows I would never use 'your' instead of 'you're'....
