Things you'd like to say, but can't

I want to replace faulty LED bulbs, not replace halogen, not choose a colour, not choose and angle, lumens, watts, or any other piece of complication that the industry has decided to line its pockets with.
I just want one like the one in that ceiling there with the same numbers on it.
How the fark do I measure the angle of a farking bulb??

So how is "the industry" supposed to know what bulb you want?

And angle is just the beam angle - hardly needs to be degrees minutes and seconds; narrow, medium, wide should be enough

I never got used to the big man at my local market calling me 'love'. Apparently, it's a Yorkshire thing! (Certainly, Leeds and Sheffield.)

I moved to Leeds at age 9 from Co. Durham. Male bus conductors calling me 'love'. I was highly offended until I realised they said the same to everyone, regardless of age or gender.

Alright, love!

Perhaps by putting writing or symbols on the body of what they made that just failed. It's quite a simple concept.
I want to replace like for like. They just have to know what they themselves made in the first place and communicate it by some standard.
It's not asking much.

I am sorry that you are 'offended' by seeing people with Downs Syndrome but if my cousin wants to visit me, she can. After all, unlike you, she keeps down a job and lives in her own home - she has some help but we'll gloss over that bit. If you don't like her, bugger off back to your own flat and don't be so darn rude.

I did say a bit of this but wanted to say so much more.

To the man sitting in the dentists waiting room, and pontificating nonsense about just about every subject from the Vikings to the wages of train drivers, via the second world war and the treasonous actions of all white collar workers:

SHUT THE F*** UP!

It is all right for you, you just have to put up with the train being late, I have to put up with the train being late and you chewing my ear about it.

To those people on my morning train who sniff. "Grow up, stop sniffing and buy some f**king tissues"

It's been 45 minutes since we finished our starters and you've yet to clear away the plates, let alone show any signs of bringing the mains out.
You have however told the people at the next table that their mains will be served in a few minutes, for the third time, despite them already having waited for over an hour.
So are we getting fed tonight, or should we walk out like the diners at three other tables have done already?

I've just filled my car up, and I want to pay and be on my way. If you want to do your weekly shop, go to sodding Tesco.

Did you walk out? I would have done (and have done at places in the past)

Pay at pump always, for exactly this reason

Same for me, saves actually having to interact with another human being.
