Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

some of them are drinking water as if not drinking for 10 minutes will kill them, but mostly they are trying to work out how to get the handle up on the wheeled suitcase (in my experience) :)

People in Aldi who try to pack their shopping in a very specific way at the till, then wait until they've finished before fishing about for their purse, and taking forever to get their xard/cash out.

The point of there not being any space on the other side of the cashier is because you're supposed to put it all quickly in your trolley, and then pack at the packing shelf, meaning the queue moves at a reasonable pace.

People who mill around outside their house in the front garden bit and as soon as you come along, go out onto the pavement. At which point, they proceed walk 3 abreast slowly while having a leisurely conversation and blocking your way.

People who faff around in their car as you're approaching on foot, purposefully. Just as you get to their car, they fling open the door and get out, blocking your path.

Often these cnuts are half on the pavement.

People who faff around putting stuff in their bag or putting make up when getting back n their car post paying for petrol while we all queue up behind waiting for a free pump. Why they can't just get in and drive off once they've paid is beyond me.

[ come on, folks, we are RUNNERS. By definition and by choice we are faster than everyone else, and if we don't like it we should stop being runners. ]

I'm not faster than everyone else at the supermarket though. I just get my bags and card ready whilst in the queue, which anybody can do. No need to *start* looking for your purse after the cashier has totalled up and told you the amount.
