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!

People who cannot queue, jump to the front waving an access card in my face and get aggro when I tell them to get back to the end of the queue. Why should you not have to line up and wait like everyone else is doing? and interrupting me by waving a card in my face is plain rude!

Shop workers who put your change on the counter instead of into your outstretched hand.

Here here Fitz, the same goes for shoppers who just shove it on the counter (the money that is) :-o

Even worse in bars when they put it on a wet counter and expect you to scoop it up somehow. Never upset the bar staff...we know what goes in your drink... :-)

The dirty bastards who fly tipped down the side of the country lane. Scum bags.

Worse than scum, Idio.

People who smoke in cars, quickly followed by people who smoke in really nice cars.

Did see a passenger light up in a very new Aston Martin recently. I would have made her walk :)

But if it's their car, what's the problem? Saves you smelling it, anyway.

Agree Idio.

Along with the checkouts theme, the cashiers who are talking on their phone and don't have the common decency to stop talking and pay attention to you, the customer. I have on occasions just put what I was going to buy on the counter and walked out the shop after a brief moan to them.

Fly tippers should be shot.

Actually, the only time I ever dropped a customer's change on the counter instead of handing it to them was when they were on their phone and never said a word to me during the entire transaction. It would be beyond rude for me to have done that to them and it goes both ways.

The lack of pricing information most companies include on their websites. I realise they can't tell you exactly in many scenarios but some kind of vague idea so that you can make a shortlist rather than having to make 400 telephone calls.
