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

[NorthernDave]

Thanks Asda for forcing your customers to use the self scan tills and then treating them ALL like thieves by mounting a camera on each till along with a video screen that shows you scanning your shopping along with a big accusatory "RECORDING" sign flashing away at the bottom of the screen.

Here's a suggestion - if you've got a problem with shoplifting, employing some more staff to take customers money might make a difference instead of having one harassed woman doing her best trying to cope with the demands of 8 tills.

If this is your idea of treating your customers properly then I won't bother to darken your door again...

Why can't you say this? Send them an email.

You're back again wanting to live in the garage. You've already sneaked in our house taken keys and put some of your stuff in there.

Get the fark out of our lives!!

You're right - sent.

So you think pressing the lift button 30 seconds after me will make the lift arrive sooner? Idiot.

But even that won't make the lift come quicker than repeatedly pressing the button...

Honestly. Twice today. I rarely go into town (Birmingham) but I swear today was the last time unless I really really have to. I can stand crowds. I can put up with stoopid prices. Muppets and lemmings really pee me off. I press the lift button and someone reaches over me to press it again! 3/4 of an hour later the same thing. And dont get me started about the morons that stand in front of the lift doors trying to get in while im trying to get out with my youngest in her buggy. How do these people get through Life?

I suspect that they are the same ones who when seated at the back of the plane, jump up as soon as the aircraft reaches the gate. "It's a 747 ffs, we've got 10 minutes before anything happens".

Boasting that you have done something through hinting at vague knowledge fools nobody. Get off social media, you are wasting server space.

To be honest, I think I'd press it again if I'd been waiting that long . . .

 

[NorthernDave]

And now I have a politely worded but ultimately meaningless response...

I'm regularly at the back of a 737 and it takes at least 15 minutes to get off. 180 people, all with luggage, getting off one at a time...
The A380 is mad though. Even with three doors it takes well over an hour to get everyone on and sorted out.

Standing at a crossing, the button is lit up so has clearly been pressed yet people walk up and jab the button repeatedly as if it will make the lights magically change.

Or, equally annoying:

Walk up to a pelican crossing, see no traffic in the immediate vicinity AND STILL PRESS THE BUTTON despite immediately walking straight across, so you're 50 yards away when the lights do change and stop all the traffic at an empty crossing
