lars85 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Echo the love for why bird and Poppy the cat. Peggy Patch can get in the bin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DCW Posted July 29 Paid Members Share Posted July 29 People sitting in front of you who sit sideways on the bus. I don't want to be looking at one-half of your stupid face at 7am on a Monday morning while I'm trying to prepare myself for the impending doom of the day ahead. Face forward and sit in the poxy seat properly! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamura Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 People in supermarkets that pick something up, decide they don't want it, and just leave it wherever they are. I spend far too much time tidying up after these people. I wouldn't mind so much but I work in the aisles that are furthest away from the exit, so to get out of the shop they have to walk back past the correct aisle anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Last week on the bus I sat at the back and then this little old lady sat in one of the seats facing me, but to the side, sort of halfway in the aisle. She was wearing a fitbit thing and spent the next 30 minutes swinging her arm back and forth (I assume to get her "steps" or "activity" up or whatever) mere inches from me. CHEATING OLD BASTARD!

Another annoyance was people asking if you’d put their alcohol through anyway, because they’d come from quite a distance or ‘didn’t know’, only to get extremely abusive when you politely explained that you could not. Heck, maybe this still happens all these years later - but the amount of abuse the staff got during that time was absolutely shameful.

I think we can all work out it's the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 29 Moderators Share Posted July 29 Yeah I am guessing it is not unique to the Olympics and something you get desensitised to, but for me it is very noticeable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
