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

Could you come with me to the supermarket, please? Could do with an assertive parent corrector!

The answer to your problem is called Waitrose (and no, it isn't any more expensive than Tesco) though you may overhear middleclass scolding "Jocasta put that polenta down! The au pair has got a poussin marinading in olive oil and balsamic vinegar for you and Tarquin at home."

You iz kiddin'!

They do train their staff well though.

I remember seeing a bit of advertising on the back of one of their vehicles: "Think we're more expensive than Tesco? Think again!"
So I did. I thought: "Hmmm. Nope, I still think you're more expensive than Tescos." (Immeasurably better, needless to say, in all sorts of ways. But prices? No, I think they lose that one.)

We had a dinner party debate and the four couples road tested their claim. Identical shopping lists Waitrose vs Tesco. Waitrose was within a matter of pence more expensive than Tesco, but round here Tesco's is out-of-town whilst Waitrose is town centre.

I want another (some other) profile(s) in which I can say "your an utter **** now **** off"

That's really useful research GC, thanks.

I've not trusted Tesco since they mis-sold a TV to me after I'd returned one that was faulty. The upgraded model replacement I'd assumed was an equivalent saving on high street prices but turned out to be £80 more than John Lewis, who also give a free 5 year warranty. When I pointed this out to Tesco's electrical staff they just shrugged. It was my own stupid fault for trusting them- never again.

[Edit: sorry.... real life caught up with me for a second.]

I'm sorry, did I fart in your face or something?

Oh, and another thing, one of these days I really AM going to learn Arabic so that I can hear what you are saying, you arrogant twat!

 

[TheDoctor]

Are you finally getting your come-uppance? I'm so glad.

Really, I am. Quite ecstatically so, actually.

 

[Night Train]

I said I would act OR build the set but, as I am still unwell, I can't do both.
You said that was fine as someone else is building the set as he designed it.

So what do you do on casting night? You give me an acting part AND you want me to help build the set!

We'll see how little set building I can do shall we, because if I become ill again I won't be doing either.

I'm quickly growing to despise you and your "entitled" attitude. I don't owe you a damn thing, we're not even friends FFS. I tolerate you because my mate adores you but if I ever again hear you complaining because I didn't buy you a drink I swear I'm going to pop you one. Grow up already.


I'm actually pretty glad you got ripped off by such an obvious scam, couldn't have happened to a bigger knob. I don't think I know anyone who deserves it more. Shame your family will bail you out though, you really don't appreciate it. It'd do you good to struggle financially for a few weeks. Might teach you to look after your cash a bit better.


Quit smoking around me when I'm ill, you inconsiderate lout! I'm already coughing and struggling to breathe without you cacking up my air. Indulge your addiction outside, in your room, in the garage, anywhere but in my face.

I'm so sorry that you're so busy that you're getting really stressed out by the amount of work you've got to do, and I'm sorry that I cut short the amount of time that I afforded you to whinge on about how busy you are after you'd been whittering on for 20 minutes, but did it not occur to you that you sauntered in at 9.10, had a full lunch hour and then b*ggered opff at 5.01pm when I've been here since 7am, had no lunch and won't leave until 7pm...

Shut up and share the pain you useless git, or b*gger off elsewhere if you think the grass is greener. Has it not occurred to you that the reason that the rest of us are workign so hard is that the penny has dropped with us that there is no greener grass and none of us will have jobs if we don't get the work done???

 

[Spinney]

I've probably said this before on here, but...


Take the little bag of doggy poo HOME WITH YOU AND PUT IT IN YOUR BIN, or even put it in the bin 1/4 mile up the road. DON'T tie it all up neatly and just hang it on the fence! WTF do you think is going to happen to it there???

 

[MossCommuter]

you make me vomit

I think the general idea when you contact someone by telephone is to listen to what they are trying to tell you. I did not need to look at the contact list that you referred to because I know that you have just misread it. I was trying to tell you very politely that it is easy to misread the contacts list.

I then tried to tell you that I did not have the number for the person you were trying to contact. Who did you think I was? Telephone directory enquiries? Then I tried, oooh four times, to tell you who to ring about this, were you listening, of course you weren't.

You didn't notice when I started to indicate right when we were sitting in the two lanes of stationary traffic, probably because you couldn't have got any closer to the back of my car if you'd tried, preventing you from changing lanes to get past, as everyone else has.

I am sitting here in the 'fast lane' of this road because I am waiting to turn right with my right indicator on as you can see. I can't get out of your way because the traffic coming the other way is preventing me... don't lean on the horn and wave your hands about because it is pointless and futile.

I do apologise for wasting your precious time.
