General Chat

talking of shopping (as MTG was), people who go into the supermarket restaurant and, intead of using the places provided, park their trolley right in the gangway beside their table. I am pretty sure I have never heard of anyone stealing a whole trolley load of goods. And it is a fire hazard when several people do it at once. The only ones I sympathise with are young mums who have a baby in the trolley.

People being rude in general for no good reason.

I was shopping this morning, and there was a man of retirement age being really rude to the young girl on the till for no reason at all.

If he got out of bed the wrong side, why take it out on someone who cannot answer back?

The crowing glory was when he called her 'tiresome'. Only one person being tiresome mate!

People saying "literally" when it literally doesn't mean literally.

"do you know what" (wot( :-(

Clearly! :-D :-D :-D

"for sure!!"

Don't you like 'having said that', Bob? :-P

I was contrasting what I'd said about liars - they may lie, but have to have a good memory, which few have :-D :-D :-D :-D

I suppose I could have said 'However'. ;-)

"Having said that!"

"Clearly" when it is only apparently clear to the person making the statement

I agree with the "What you want to do is...." people too, Rose. :-(

Added to that, I can't stand condescension, or liars.

Having said that - liars have to have a darned good memory - unfortunately for them, few do :-D

I have another!

It's people who say "What you want to do is...."

eg

"What you want to do is cut those trees down"

No that is NOT what I want to do, it's what you think I should do :-|

I find it extremely annoying Ann oh and just thought of another latest with a member of my family , instead of just saying yeah which is ok he says yeah yeah yeah and I always comment who do you think you are the Beatles :-|

LG I actually remarked on that last night on Pointless when one of the females was asksed what her interests were and she said so ' then proceeded to talk about her interests, the so was totally unnecessary.

:-P :-P :-P Dermot :-D

So, there it is.

People starting a sentence with so, bad manners of any form, anyone putting on airs and graces and someone never admitting they are wrong :-|

TV/film credits that scroll up so fast that you would need to read at 5,000 words a minute to be able to read them.

People (mainly middle aged/elderly ladies) who throw themselves on top of our trainee assistance dog puppies shouting " I MUST give him/her a cuddle" despite the puppy wearing a brightly coloured jacket saying "In Training. Do Not Distract".

Other people.

Who are they & where do they come from? What is their purpose in life?

Books with corners folded to mark a page.

Describing something as being "up for grabs" :-(

Parents with babies or young children in pushchairs on public transport, who park them in the allotted space then spend ALL the journey on the phone.
