Things I Don't Like

[steptoe]

Farris and Ball firkin expensive ***** to use paint that the wife bought to redecorate the bathroom  :swear: :swear: :swear: :swear:

Never used such annoying paint in my life, makes the old style very runny gloss stuff look like a doddle and £90 a tin FFs, FFFFFs, actually FFFFFFFFFFFs

At £90 a tin it would need to be 10gallon tins or I'd be using the wife's blood to decorate the bathroom...!!! 

 

[binky]

it's a big tin, but defo not 10 gallons X(

Ooooohhh.....

Farrow and Ball....... I've just finished a job where they must have used gallons and gallons of the blinking stuff,,,, a whole 3 storey house inside and out!! The decorator was on the job for over 12 months!!! If you touch it it'll discolour and you can't touch it up..

Anyway.. back to the topic in question....

People who park so close to the back of my van so that you can only just open the rear doors.... and then you have to get your steps inside!!!.... Oh and there was at least 30 foot of free space along the kerb behind them!!!!

Losing stuff......buying a replacement...then finding the original, which was exactly where you thought it was; but did not look there as you thought it was too easy/logical

Being rushed at checkouts by the Customer Interface Cash collection Technician....trying to make me rush to pack everything away.

So...i pack it ALL,away THEN pay. If they remember me, and i am very memorable, they go slower. That way we both finish at the same time, everyone is happy,.

I left a FULL trolley of shopping and walked out of a Supermarket ( to a round of applause , i may add!) when after queuing for ten minutes Checkout Monkey announced they were going on their break. I,advised putting all,my stuff back on shelf as the walked to the brew room
