Upselling, bought FIFA at game and the dickhead says “and how many FIFA points will you be buying today?” They’re probably told to say it but then afterwards “would you like to take out disc cover so we can replace it for free, it’s a £1?” Nope, **** off.

I think what's worse there is the presumed upselling. I can take it if he asks, "Would you like to buy any fifa points with this game?" but to assume you will, that's annoying.

Doesn’t help that I absolutely detest FIFA points too but you’re rights it’s the presumption

In the greater scheme of things this is really trivial but newspapers never seem to get it right ...    every time the Leicester Mercury shows a fallow buck in Bradgate park they call it a stag ....   and now the Daily Telegraph is joining in ...     it’s a bleedin buck !!  Male red deer ..   stag.  Male sika deer ..   stag.  All others (including fallow deer with palmated antlers) ...    are bucks.    Moan over.

1- People always seem to be talking these days, just ****ing shut up and get on with it and stop holding the rest of us up. 

 

2- people who moan about being tired - ****ing man up and get on with it. And those over exaggerate stretching when yawning!

 

3- anyone who doesn't have payment ready at the point of sale!

People who occupy the best forward-facing window seats on trains ... and then spend the whole trip staring at their phone!   Grrr

 

 

Maybe they need the best seat to then view the best train porn on their phones and have a toss.

All this shit is getting tedious.

 

I've had spam e-mails/texts from Apple, PayPal and Barclays in the last few days and it's a pain in the arse.

 

Despite having decent security on all my devices and blocking every instance, I still get loads of them.

I try blocking/filtering the sender's email address, but another email address pops up with them. Dont know how they get through Google's etc security.

Stuff like this in the news. 

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45705896

 

Now, this guy could have been more helpful. We don't really know the details, he could be a raging arsehole or she could have been rude and abusive, he could have been in a desperate rush to get to the loo or he could be some angry misogynist refusing to help. Who knows? 

 

It's still not news and to make it worse, there's ****ing photos of the guy smeared all over the front page of the BBC website. 

 

He's not a criminal, he's not even ACCUSED of being a criminal, he's just accused, with no context, of being bad at customer service and for that he's now nationally infamous

 

What the actual ****? 

 

It's bad enough when this shit gets posted on spotted on Facebook or whatever but actual credible (yeah I know) news sources leading the charge? **** off with this. 

 

It's a matter for the customer and asda and that's it. 

Still - fair play to Asda for giving a pregnant woman champagne to say sorry. Jokers
