As someone who doesn’t frequent coffee shops, why are you asked for your name?

So they can match the customer with the correct drink when it’s busy. I once bumped into a Dutch bloke I know in a Canadian airport, they mangled his name impressively :)

That I have to go on a minute-taking course. Also, that I have to take minutes at all - its not in either my job description or my inclination.

People not clearing up after their dogs and leaving shit all over the pavement.

People thinking the bit of pavement between their house and the dropped kerb (curb?) is an extension of their driveway.

People (lots of them) cycling on the very narrow pavenent when there's a perfectly good, wide cycle lane two feet away on the very wide, straight road.

Getting home after a 12.5hr night shift and a 90 minute walk home to find the kids have not washed up, loaded the dishwasher or tidied up the kitchen despite that being the only fucking job they have in the house. Also nobody having fed the chickens.

Allowing myself to get so annoyed at the above that I'm going to find it hard to sleep.

Having to be back at work in 9 hours.
