minor things that make you fume

The fact that whenever I walk past the shop by mine when I don't need anything it's always empty, then when I do need to go the shop half of Huyton have turned up ffs.
 

marketing campaigns that are trying to piggy back on the election;
M&Ms: which colour is best
Pizza Express: Hands or cutlery
Costa: Dunk or no dunk
 

my god i was fuming the other day.

Went the asda with my son and his little ball of money he had saved so he could buy a toy with them. Go to hte coin star machine and just as we were getting to it a oldish couple walk up with their trolly and a giant coke bottle full of pennies! I think sod this and walk away and leave them to it, taking my son down the toy aisle. he picks what he wants eventually and i go back to the machine (20 minutes have passed at this point) and there they still are.

then out of nowhere the machine then starts throwing their pennies back out at them saying the machine is now full!!!!!! i felt like kicking off at them the tits!

Worst yet i was trying (embarriesed like) putting them all in the self service till but after 15p the coins came sliding back out again FFS! i ended up paying the rest on my card and carrying the ball of pennies home again.

Just out of interest - how much do them machines charge? I've got a big bell's whisky bottle that full & a carbuoy about 2/3 full of shrapnel. I'm guessing there's well over £200 in the both of them.

erm maybe like 8 p per pound i think. ITs not a major cost but obviously noticeable on smaller amounts.

this couple btw did have over 100 pounds in pennies that they filled it up with.
