TRO Saracen Jan 2015 4:28pm, 12 Jan 2015 9,967 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen Old ladies in supermarkets who take hours in the fresh veg section squeezing and prodding and handling every item with their crabby hands before either tossing it back or on the odd occasion if it actually passes whatever quality test they are doing putting it with their shopping. It was probably fine until the first 10 old ladies picked it up, poked and squeezed it then threw it back. They're at it for hours, and you only see it when you shop daytimes on work hours. It's the thought that virtually every piece of fresh fruit will have had at least 17 old ladies handling and then rejecting it that before you end up buying that really does it. Arrrgggghhhh.

I don't think it's a he either. Is there a way you can tell? People who waltz in and out the office for a couple of hours at a time, and manage to be disruptive while they are gracing you with their presence...
Red Squirrel Jan 2015 6:30pm, 12 Jan 2015 17,920 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel I actually thought Cackle's hubby was nipping the dog gently on its teats. People do unusual things to their pets sometimes. What really grinds my gears are those people you get in shops and supermarkets who dither together. They've got a collective air of superiority and are usually posh, tall couples with the woman always wearing expensive knee-length boots. They float around trying to decide if they want something that I'm trying to reach for, look at it for a bit, discuss it then often step back onto little me without even saying sorry or noticing that they've bumped into a common person.

My expectations are very low, I just need to remember that I need the job to pay for running shoes and assorted other things.
