Weirdo 

Not on about small items/amounts.

 

Using an example, say it I buy £60 worth of stuff in B&Q and I need to take some of it back in a weeks time how am I going to be able to prove I bought it there?

 

You need a receipt and it’s a daft thing that’s become the norm in recent times.

and flies in the house - must destroy. two of our cats see to 90% of them.

You should get one of those light things which they have in restaurants and chippies over here that attract them and sizzle them as soon as they land on them.

I’m on a MS Teams meeting with a bunch of Americans.
 

It’s day two of a three day bore fest. All participants are at home but one of the guys has been wearing a mask for the whole time. He’s probably got a good reason as all the other participants know each other and none of them have mentioned it.

 

A small thing but it’s annoying me.
 

He’s also using what looks like an image of the Grand Canyon as background. This annoys me as well but less so than the mask.

You sure he hasn't offed the proper fella, and is wearing a mask because of the smell of decay as he sits there watching, waiting to see who'll be next, grinning insanely because he knows he can't be seen?

I am going to imagine that’s the case. Inventing a decent back story will stop me suffering death by boredom. Another three hours of this today and six more tomorrow.

So you’ve never bought something you’ve later found you don’t need?

 

 

Maybe it's different in the UK, but the stores that usually ask you if you want a receipt are the places that you are 99.99% likely not to be returning items, like groceries or food. If you're buying a TV or building products, of course you'd want a receipt, and it would be given to you without asking.

 

That's the only reason I thought your annoyance with receipts seemed a bit weird. Who even wants people passing paper to you if you don't need it ?

 

Anyways, nobody seems offended by the little stickers on fruit, which makes me sad.

If Simon hadn't chosen to To go chasing the Hollywood dream, he'd be all over this shit.

Them little stickers are fuckers to get off unless you wash the food as soon as you have bought it. The amount of times while slicing up a pepper (for example) and had to spend 10 minutes removing the sticker and scrubbing the glue off it...! So yeah little stickers on fruit and veg!

When you are waiting for a phone call from somewhere, usually a hospital for confirmation of an appointment and they never ring you within the time they specify.

 

Then when they do ring they hang up after one ring just to say on their data sheet that they called and there was no answer. Has happened twice this week when wanting confirmation of appointments for my son. You ring back and have to wait ages to be put through to the right person. 

 

One cheeky bitch said "I rang about 20 minutes ago and there was  no answer"

 

No you didn't, you hung up after one ring on a withheld number barely giving me a chance to answer the phone and you were too lazy to leave a message.

Organised zoom fun. Everyone from the office coming on to a Zoom call on a Friday night for drinks along with wacky backdrops, cocktails and hats. Makes my fucking toes curl, the English awkwardness of it all. I'm only half listening most of the time but god its hard work. 

Grim.
