minor things that make you fume


Going for a pee wearing a pair of trackie bottoms, pull the cord to undo said trackies instead of undoing it pulls into a knot, done this at the spurs game spent about 5 minutes hopping from leg to leg fiddling around my undercroft trying to undo said knot. Reminder to self if in public toilet just leave.
A very underused word lol
 

Simpsons predicting the future. This time it's something to do with Cypress Hill from an episode 27 years ago.

Just when is this going to end?, Donald Trump and the 2016 American electorate have a lot to answer for, even though it was like one line of dialogue referring to him in that episode.
 
Sainsbury's Nectar cards.

I've spent probably about £10,000 at Sainsburys over the past year and a half buying food for myself and various family members. Swiped the Nectar card every single time.

My Nectar balance is about £6.50 having never used any of it.

Most pointless thing ever, it's like they are actively mocking their customers.

Should be getting £0.005 per point so if your figures are right you’re missing £50 of vouchers or shopping…… you sure the Mrs isn’t having a free bottle of wine on the QT every month?!?
Normally use mine for Xmas booze - had about £120 on mine a few years back and unbeknown to my my ex had a duplicate card and cleaned it out - now that made me fume!

Not gonna lie, i don't even know how it works. I only got one because someone said to get one as you'll save money.

I've just been swiping it every single shop and today actually bothered to read what came up on the self checkout display and it reckonned i had £6.50

Am i missing some critical bit of information on how they work ? Do you only get points on specific items or something ?

Nah so long as your are swiping it, it should be adding up. Can use the app to collect ’bonus points’ for some items they must be over stocked on.
You can also auto transfer points to things like airmiles etc so maybe check you’ve not set that up inadvertently!
NB - 1/2p per point not 5p in my original reply, £10k = £50 not £500!

Still such a pitiful return these cards don't earn space in my wallet. Not worth allowing them to track me, nor the time robbed from me faffing around to scan it.
