I've got to work with him tomorrow and Wednesday, outside the office.

Was originally going to use just 1 car to do site visits, but he can take his own now. Couldn't be arsed having to make small talk on big drives.

The fly came out yesterday after I went swimming. It was over a centimetre long and fully intact. So disgusting.

How long is a centimetre in old school measurements?

A quarter of a cubit. It was a biggie.

That Go Compare advert. The pilots are flying in the plane and she says "Fantastic idea skip!".

Makes me want to boot my tele.

When customers don't want you too pack their shopping for them.

honestly, a lot of minor things make me fume. so much big things in life that i have zero control over blowing up all over around me, i fume at that which should be right.

my biggest recent fume - the freaking space over your seat in an airplane should belong to you.

the overhead compartment belongs to those in your row and not the person who tries to cheat the airlines who screw people by charging $50/bag check-in by bringing on 17 carry on items stacked like Russian Matrushka dolls.

after watching 3 very drunken Chileno "Dude Bros" who couldn't put their luggage in their own compartment because, i kid you not, they used it for a skate board and a straw sombrero, nearly drop my brand spanking new office laptop four times because they needed to use ours, i damned near ended up on of those "flight halted because of... " stories you read on Police Beat in the local fishwrap.

FU(me) the airlines for charging people to check bags and thus leading to the barbarism at the (boarding) gate continuing on to the plane itself.

FU(me) the people who carry more than the max number on the plane. Sorry, boss, your cello will not fit under your seat nor in the overhead.

FU(me) the airline again for not doing anything to stop people who clearly have more items than their regulation allow, or those with items too large to fit their requirements.

Seriously, hombre, put yer sombrero in my overhead and find a way to fit your pack and skate board in the space three people are supposed to share. If it doesn't work it, suck it up and check your luggage. Or at least have the common courtesy to buy me one of those small plastic bottles of whiskey each time you open my overhead and you have to catch my bag as it falls out because you need something from yours.

/rant off.

Not once have I ever felt that Lidl wanted me to pack on the bench, and I visit nigh on daily. Surely going back and forth with handfuls of items is just as time consuming?

It happened to me in aldi once. The cashier asked me to shove all my stuff into the trolley and pack on the bench. I refused, on the very reasonable grounds that stuff was going into my bags as quickly as they were coming through the til, and if company policy were to be so inflexible then it will be my policy to shop elsewhere.

I do struggle to follow ridiculous instructions.

It's a modern day Boulting brother film in the making here, 'I'm alright Jack'.. I despair...

Traffic lights go green. We're in a straight line and can all see the lights change. I'm five cars back, and straight away I'm in gear ready to go. After a minimum of an interminable 30 seconds the car in front starts off as slow as you like.

EVERY TIME.

What are they doing in front?

Understandable fume inducing. I solve all of that by never going anywhere near either the airport, or travelling public if I can help it.
Easy life choice.

What's more annoying than any of this is when all the person in front' s shopping has gone through and they're presented with the bill it's THEN and only then, that the concept that they'd have to actually pay cones to light, precipitating a 5 minute rummage in an ENORMOUS handbag for some means of payment.
IS IT YOUR FIRST TIME IN A SHOP FFS??

And conversely, why don't the shop assistants ask how you are paying, so they can get the card machine ready? They seem to wait until you are waving your card in the air before making it happen.

Do you live in Brisbane mate?

Give them and orange or an orange - they're still only half way across - aaaaaand, now it's red and they're through at 80kph
Give them a green filter L or R and they wait and wait and then go round like they can barely move even with a zimmer...It's not going to get any greener ffs

No, near Swindon, for which I coined the phrase Grimdon. Traffic lights here spend 10 minutes on red and 30 seconds on green. I'm convinced it's deliberate so that motorists waste fuel, then hand the government a fuel duty bonus when they fill up again.

Worse, there are a billion lycra clad cyclists who use traffic lights to get in front of a queue of cars that's just painstakingly overtaken them, just so they can hold them up again.
