Things that annoy you ?

[Purple Monkey]

People who get daddy to pay for everything or bail them out. Even when they have a job and should sort shit out by themselves.

Want to go to a festival at the last minute? Daddy gets out the credit card.

Need a desposit on a flat? Daddy forwards the cash.

Need a car? Daddy buys them a car.

Totalled the car? Daddy buys a new one.

Need a deposit for a house? Daddy gives them a few grand.

Need to go on holiday? Daddy buys the holiday.

I have no respect for people like that, they just squander their money on useless shit like new speakers and iphones and other pointless shit and always get daddy to bail them out of their financial f**k ups. Irresponsible and unemployable - but what do they care, daddy pays for everything anyway! I even have a couple of "mates" who just got given ridiculous properties by their doting parents. One got his own city centre penthouse apartment in the middle of Manchester, he's a sodding student. Another one just got given a three bed house all to himself, no mortgage, just bought and paid for, and he hasn't worked a single day in his entire life. Meanwhile I have struggled to cobble together a deposit for my own place for years. I'll be lucky if I find a shed in some shithole with the way house prices are all skewed to "those that have". Spoilt silver spoon motherf**kers.......ARGH!!

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. This country is seriously f**ked up. Bitter as fook.

Well at least I know not to try that. Equis in Hamilton do Magners ice cream, I've never tried it for fear of it being rotten. Still quite fancy getting some Buckfast ice cream though.

[rexclark]

who does the ice cream? i was told about irn brew ice cream in the coatbridge chippy but they never had any when i went. but apparently it's the same company that do it for asda so just bought it last night.

i also heard that barr were making some though. so i'll give that a go if it ever comes about.

[ampersand]

Some fancy restaurant down your neck of the woods does it. I'm pretty sure it'll spread, there's probably alot of money to be made off it.

Not something that annoys me but something that made me sad...

As you will see from the laughter thread, i am terrified of spiders, i know it is irrational in this country, but there you go. Anyway a massive spider has been living in our house recently. My OH caught him once and took him outside, (I asked him to put him on a train to London, but he said that was going too far), anyway he came back, would you believe spiders have a homing instinct? Anyway the little bugger got behind me last night while i was watching telly, i can't cope with him hiding somewhere where he might jump out at me. So i chased him around the flat for 30 minutes trying to trap him so OH could take him away when he got home.

Eventually i got him in a position where i could put the glass over him, but i missed and he ran away, i did manage to get him on the next go but then when i looked down i had managed to pull a few of his legs off on the first time round. They were lying on the carpet. I feel really bad now. Massive karma fail.

The day after a night out and no matter how much water you drink or how many times you brush your teeth you can still taste beer & cigs.

People who try and haggle with me.

f**k off, the room is $130 dollars. Not $110, not $120. $130. Its winter, we're in a ski resort, that means we are really busy. Its $130. I don't care how long you are staying. I dont care how much the hotel down the road is charging. And I'd rather not sell the room to them anyway cos the people who try and haggle on arrival nearly always turn out to be awkward c**ts who aren't worth the hassle.

You don't walk into a supermarket and ask "how much is the loaf of bread?" 2 dollars. "I'll give you a $1.50"

I love haggling, whenever someone goes to Camden Town they make sure I go along as I was always manage to talk down the market people and save a few £££ as well as dealing with touts outside gigs.

[saratink]

Plenty of other places to spend ones money...

[saratink]

I tried haggling over a bottle of water they wanted £2.50 for it and i was like 'ill give you £2! and she was like, no its 2.50' so i walked like 2 stalls away and bought one for £2

[oafc0000]

exactly, but there's plenty more potential customers as well who are happy to pay the going rate.

[oafc0000]

There is, but when my hotel runs at 85% plus occupancy (95% plus in peak season , and we only really have about a month and a half of quiet season a year), I'll take my chances. And like I said, one of the reasons I dont do it is cos once they stay, the people who have tried to haggle are usually a nightmare. If I'm feeling very generous in the quiet months I might chuck in a free breakfast.

When my mother first move to the UK in the early 70s, she went into our local Tesco and when she was told her weekly shop was about £7 pounds, offered the cashier £5.

There are times and places for bartering. The market, yes, ticket touts, yes, most of the Indian subcontinent and the middle east, yes. Tesco, probably less so
