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 

So you didn’t order poppadoms or prawn crackers, but are annoyed they weren’t delivered for free?

Curry houses that now charge for the condiments to eat with your (paid for) poppadoms. 

Damn those restaurants for having the cheek to charge a price for something that costs them money to source and produce.

Why should I pay for rice to go with my (paid for) chicken tikka masala?

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. 

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!

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.

Another example is on insurance polices optional excess and compulsory excess !

The daddy of them all is surely hotel bookings?

Room Price: €50
Room Price with free cancellation: €58

WELL IT'S NOT F***ING FREE THEN, IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife's car being booted by some chav outside a shop yesterday.

Appreciate there's worse things to happen but it's a repair bill we could really do without.

Death is too good for maggots who do things like that. And never quantify what annoys you, this is a completely rational thing to get murderous about however the irrational stuff is absolutely fine 

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 joy

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. 

Got to be honest, I am with Mrs M - Unless it is a classic car.   

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 🤷‍♂️

Don’t usually watch it but sat here watching Tenable.
The final round…the list is in alphabetical order and the contestants keep guessing answers that don’t fit in the missing gaps.
so frustrating, the bloomin idiots.

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!

The other day she drove at a speed bump so fast the engine actually stalled.

Love the pulp fiction quote "it would be worth them doing it just so I could catch them doing it". Lost a wing mirror recently and they left a note, all sorted... If they hadn't I'd have been justified in killing the first born male in the whole city

Hmm. Who was the lifer who kicked someone’s wing mirror off a while back !!!

Whoever at Sky Sports chooses the team descriptors for the top left of the screen.

Carlisle United = CUT ???
Stockport County = SPC ???

CUFC v SCFC…

The city of Colchester wants a word with you

And to be fair, the city of Stoke as well.

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

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.
