It's funny though, people usually agree that's a real gear grinder, as is people who put their feet up on train seats, as is people who let their dogs shit everywhere and don't clean up after them... but no-one ever admits to being the person that does (any or all of) these things. Where are they? Who are they? Is there a Venn Diagram of gear-grinders and runners that just does not overlap? We need to be told.

Went into about 4 different phone shops today to perhaps look at an upgrade for my son. In every 1 we were harassed to the point of not buying anything in the end. I'm an educated intelligent man, my son is an educated intelligent young man. We don't need some thick fucking phone salesman wideboy/girl to offer advice. When I need advice, I will bloody well ask. Why they can't just leave you alone to browse pisses me off!
