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

It was really nice to see you today, just the friendly chat I needed

Why do you need a hoodie for working out in the gym

Thanks dentist - three times in the last two months I've told you there was something wrong with that tooth and you've fobbed me off each time.

Well now it's Sunday evening and a chunk of that very tooth has chipped off - and no doubt when I ring the practice at 9am on Monday morning, your receptionist will tell me that you don't have any appointments for three weeks...

Why the fudge don't you get your purse out of the bottom of your bag as you get up to the checkout & not wait until all the items are rung through the till before you even start to look, do you think one of these days the cashier is going to say "Oh don't worry about paying everything is free today"

I know this is sexist, but it does appear in my experience to be women who seem to think about payment after all items have been rung up, men seem to often have the payment ready, but maybe that's just because they can get the wallet straight out of the pocket without having to rummage through a bag full of everything but the kitchen sink.

Yes, it is sexist. Is that all you have to worry about in life?

 

[ColinJ]

I normally keep my wallet in my jacket pocket and get the card ready as the items are being scanned but a couple of times last year I got distracted and not only didn't get the wallet out in advance, but at the last minute realised that the wallet was actually at the bottom of my 35 litre rucksack with £15 worth of shopping piled on top of it!

Actually at the moment yes, life is pretty good, it's taken a lot of time/effort & some pharmaceuticals to get there (no longer using prescribed drugs or any for that matter) , but my therapist says I'm doing well, so thank you for asking & have a good rest of your day.

Hmm nice advert for the HP Designjet T830 at only £1900. Will it slice off a strip of paper from the roll to give a straight edge - then shunt it inside the case, knock off the register wheel from the carriage, and require an hour to strip down and reassemble like the one I used to have to fix every two days?

So you bought a really expensive mountain bike and you are going to ride on the muddiest roughest route you can find, just the type of cyclist manufacturers like best !

1000 euro for a meal just off St Mark's square? That's no surprise. While they're cleaning up that act they can flush out the African street sellers hawking fakes made in sweatshops that plague the place like rats too.

Turning the room 'stat in the hall up to 25c will not heat the house up any quicker. Leaving the lounge door wide open will allow heat from the stove to go out of the top of the door and cold air to replace it, making your feet feel cold. And the escaping warm air will heat up the hall and guess what? The heating (which I've reset to 21c) will go off, making the house cool down.

Used to drive me mad when I was a rail commuter. I'd arrive at station with enough time in hand to get a paper but not much more. Into newsagent and there's somebody buying cigs but they've not got usual brand so the um/ahh between Rothmans or Benson & Hedges. Then decide they need matches oh and I'll grab a coke too - walk over to fridge and back. Then they want to pay by a card they cannot immediately find. Meanwhile the queue starts muttering restively....

What bit of it's a rail station, most of us have trains to catch, is that difficult to follow.

Never noticed it to be solely a female trait though.

Old women of either gender, maybe?

You ordered the service online. Clicked the box that stated all the Ts & Cs and NOW you are complaining about misselling. You blimmin’ ordered it, you have had 3 months over the 14 day cooling off period so I won’t nix the held to term charges because you can get B.B. £1 cheaper with SKY.

PS. You are a twit.

 

[NorthernDave]

Your fulsome apologies for being late due to the traffic (that everyone else had to get through and managed to get here on time), would carry more weight if you hadn't come in carrying a coffee that you stopped off for on your way up from the car park...
