little things that annoy the shit out of you

I went to "Cineworld" yesterday, it was everything I feared it would be. Like a vision of a dystopian future. 

 

You enter via a sort of tiny farm yard turnstile rotating door and are then greeted by about 50 ATM machines, which are in fact where you buy tickets. No humans. 

Then you pile in to one of the dozen lifts.  I genuinely couldn't find any stairs, I naively presume they existed somewhere. 

 

My missus wants some popcorn so I have to navigate another machine and electronically select a "meal deal". Finally I'm met by an actual human working there. It's what appears to be a small child. He obviously, understandably, couldn't operate any of the technology (what used to be a till). A supervisor has to come over and pretend to be Alan Turing for about 30 seconds in order to allow me to pay the four hundred quid or whatever it was for some popcorn and a fanta. 

 

Lastly, in order to actually get in to the correct screen we have to scan our codes and be electronically allowed past another turnstile. 

 

I realise I sound like I'm in my mid 70s, and am probably partially dripping with contempt for modern life because my girlfriend also decided that half an hour before the film started we simply had to go to Primark and buy some make up thing. I always, from the half dozen times I've had the displeasure of having to go to Primark, feel slightly sick inside the shop. Like they do the opposite of casinos or something, and pump carbon dioxide through the vents. The place feels like a sort of end game for consumerism. The absolute peak. Millions of people jogging around Supermarket Sweep style, frantically grabbing as much as possible. Unlike Supermarket Sweep nobody wins here, apart from which ever turbo cunt owns the company. 

 

I'm sure things like shops and cinemas were relatively normal even just a decade a go. What in the absolute fuck has happened? They're just no go areas for anyone over 30 now. I spent most of the film (Bullet Train, reasonably entertaining. Selected because it was the only film that wasn't a fucking cartoon or some comic book noncery) mentally preparing a list of stuff for my cabin in the Highlands that I was soon to run off to. 

 

Cunt modern life. 

You could’ve just said ‘Cineworld Day’ wtf is that about??

Both my kids made do with a pretty pitiful packed lunch, often made by me, throughout their time at big school (younger one is about to start his final year) rather than take advantage of a well stocked and subsidised canteen.

 

The reason for this was both were petrified of the finger print system used to pay for food, in particular having to ask for help to set it up in the first place.

 

Their fear of technology, at least in this case, made me proud. Chips of the old block.

 

After the revolution, I think I’ll let them live.

Lorry drivers. Up there with taxi drivers and white van cunts with their self-entitlement behaviour.

The new telly I bought in June took the knock over the weekend. 

 

Luckily, it was just and I mean just inside the 90 day return period at Costco, so I got a full refund.

 

Trying to get to and get back out of Costco Haydock on Sunday was a real pain in the arse though, it was fucking Bedlam.

 

I had to add money to get the replacement which I could have really done without but at least Richer Sounds pulled out all the stops to deliver the new telly the next day.

 

Just when I thought I might be ok this month this happens to piss me off.

To be fair to bus drivers they are being made to stick to a schedule that benefits the general public. Well at least that is how it's supposed to work.

Traffic lights near ours were out yesterday on a 4 road junction. 75% of the cunts driving just barrelled through the junction like they had right of way. After waiting for a break in the traffic, I edged my way across the junction only for some drag artist inspired 50 year old looking scruff deciding he was coming through come what may. The look of anger on his face when he had to actually give way was the epitome of anger, I thought it was the narcissist!

Mentionitis again.  Although I think the chances of me dragging up are pretty much zero.  
 

Maybe he was dazzled by the gleam on your Twingo?

Nothing worse than shiny Twingos, man.

Heard they come up lovely on a cottons cycle.

On fartbook, seeing all the parents posting their kids going back to school is fine - so many of them have written “they grow up to fast”. 
 

I plan on feeding mine.

It's not really little but cunts in the gym who clip their nails or electric shave in the general area of the changing rooms. It's fucking disgusting and needs banning. There's the shower area and the washbasin area to do that, so why in the middle of the changing rooms where we then have to dodge the debris on the floor?

Cunts!!!

Apparently in Total Fitness near ours, someone had a full on shave in the Jacuzzi/"Hydro Pool". Imagine that.

Agreed.

When they opened the gym, sauna and steam room in work you had dirty bastards wet shaving sat in the steam room who had gone in there oily and sweaty having not showered first.

Fucking disgusting.

[Remmie]

I pay my subs, why can't I have a shave in the Jacuzzi? I didn't know I went to the gym with Mary Whitehouse.

Spending half an hour filling the car up for a tip run, getting there and then finding the Burscough tip is closed on a Tuesday and Wednesday, so having to unload it all back home. What the actual fuck.

When your phone says you’ve got 4G but you very, very clearly haven’t. 
 

Cunt signal.

The amount of them new masts by mine and down Muirhead Avenue are a joke. I barely get a signal in the middle of my house. Cunts
