fair enough, although I think most itemise these separately nowadays. I suppose ultimately nothing is free - whether its priced on the menu or not, the restaurant will cover its costs and deliver a margin, so yes you are paying for your lemon, you just don't know it!valleynick66 said:
The point is it used to be part of having the poppadum's not a further charge for the relish/condiments to have with them. Your analogy might be more like saying paying for the lemon wedge that comes with my Bhaji.SporadicAddick said:

So you didn’t order poppadoms or prawn crackers, but are annoyed they weren’t delivered for free?rina said:curry houses not sending poppadoms with my order
Chinese restaurants not sending prawn crackers with my order
I don't care how good your food is, I've got plenty of places to choose from and there's a good chance I won't be ordering from you again if you're not giving me these as freebies
Why should I pay for rice to go with my (paid for) chicken tikka masala?0 -
But that's not something that ever used to happen whereas poppadoms/prawn crackers always used to be sent with every delivery until recentlyiaitch said:

Of course you are right but the itemisation makes it feel worse ! Its the same with flights/holidays when you have to 'pay' for seat reservations / checked in luggage etc - all things that in effect you likely need that are now presented as optional extras rather than some things a few people choose not to take.SporadicAddick said:

If you’re anywhere near Bexleyheath, “The Bakery” in Pickford Lane over the road from the station does a very good bread pudding.buckshee said:On a similar theme, the lack of bread pudding available now, Gregg’s have plenty of room for endless varieties of cup cakes and donuts but no bread pudding.2 -

Is this one just me or does everyone get this?
On those ‘list’ articles that come up on Facebook - you know, the “25 amusing tweets” or “40 entitled people” type things. Every time I open one, I get to read a few of the items, then it goes blank and needs refreshing. Really irritates me. Not least because everytime it happens I get pissed off with myself for opening these stupid articles in the first place. 😂

There is a special place in hell for those who damage other people's vehicles, I always park as far as I can away from supermarkets to avoid some stain on the gusset of society allowing their dumb kids or them smacking the doors into my paintwork or ignorantly letting a trolley ding into my pride and joy2 -
Yeah, my wife takes the piss out of me when I park in supermarkets etc. I always try and find the widest space I can and I constantly get "there's one" from both her and my daughter, even if it's just about big enough for a Noddy car. She's the complete opposite, just goes to the 1st one she sees, to her the car is just a lump of metal to get from a-b.Carter said:

I do kind of get where she's coming from but I just have to treat something that was so expensive carefully.2 -
I’m also with Mrs M, my son in law is all over his cars. He won a Japanese classic of some description in one of those online raffle things worth 55k couldn’t get one of my dogs in it if folded them in half. His everyday car is fecking immaculate, he recently got in mine and told me I could send my rear window off to have the dogs DNA tested 🤷♂️4

I'm somewhere in the middle, I'll park further away and walk if it means spare spaces next to me, but I'm not that bothered about my car - my one is the cheaper run-into-the-ground one we've got. Just think it's easier to park that way!DaveMehmet said:

Turns out there were absolutely tons of cars either kicked (really hard, proper dents) or keyed in town at the weekend - all thought to be one guy who's also been smashing alcohol in the supermarkets etc too. Unfortunately my wife literally nipped to get about 2 things from the shop just at the wrong time.
I presume there's more than a few issues there (and sad if it's a case of him not getting help he needs) but who knows.

Absolutely this. We drive an old 1986 Chevy pickup which I have spent a fair amount of money restoring and getting mechanically sound. Whilst I am less worried about the paintwork (which is not perfect), my missus will drive at a pothole at full speed without even trying to avoid it and rev the hell out of the thing on a cold morning to help warm it up!DaveMehmet said:

My new thing of annoyance.
Walk in Sainsburys (Local at Petts Wood).
Customers in the shop get totally ignored by staff because the staff are all picking and packing just eat/deliveroo orders.
I've used my time and energy to visit your shop to spend my money, show me some respect FFS. Why should sone lazy f*cker using an app at home take priotity?!13 -

Second best alternative (based on current three letter abbreviations) would be CAR v STK. That has to be infinitely more sensible than CUT v SPC0 -

Trust in people that you think know what they are doing.
Had a couple of trees and hedges done. I ask them for their opinion on the work for what i want done. they said well its up to you..great expertise there. So I tell them before hand to not take too much off and to shape it as best they can. Instead they come blundering in with chainsaws and start hacking away at it as if they are fighting back a horde of zombies. Getting it done in as quick a time as possible. I shouldn't have to but i wish i stood over them to make sure they are doing it right.
Had i known how they do it i would of bought a chainsaw myself and done it for at least half the price and probably done it better.
Used this company a few years back and they did a good job that's why i used them again.
It just seems nowadays I cant trust anyone to do a decent job anymore. That's the thing that annoys me the most. Having no trust in so called professionals and their expertise.
