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 having chat breaks at their desk when youve got a deadline and you're all sitting in the open plan wing and should really be considerate etc etc. Please, run your face into my bunched up fist. Ah! That's better ;-)

People who block an entrance to something and then look at you with a "face" if you have the audacity to say "excuse me".

Debenhams last week, two women just blocked the entrance to the escalator but then decided to stand there & read the store guide next to it. My Gym on Saturday, a woman and her two daughters just stood at top of stairs down to changing rooms that I needed to go down after a swift 5-miler and my minging with sweat.

Get out of the fucking way!

Sky broadband, it's really, really slow and my internet connection just keeps randomly dying which is handly in the middle of a long email.

Ha ha - mine's similar to yours Daz.

Old people who don't move out of the way when they've got off an escalator. They just stop and look round aimlessly. GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! There are people coming along behind who have nowhere to go with you stuck there!!!!

Pensioners who go to the supermarket on a Saturday morning. You've got all the rest of the week for God's sake. Please leave Saturday's to those of us who have no choice but to go then and just want to get in and out as fast as possible without being held up by people bimbling along at 1 mph - Aaargh!

Mmm Nick Cook - I hate that as well lol.

Agree with CStar too. I hate it how they stop and block the aisle just by gassing and making shopping a social event. To be fair, it's not just old people that do that. Shopping is not a family event, it's something I want to do quickly and efficiently, so get out of my way.
