The little things in life that fuck you off

It amazes me more that people are unable to use them sufficiently. We have a scanner on ours which is pretty standard, whack in the form, press copy then the great big green button and voila. Sorted.

I reckon I have shown certain staff how to do it now at least six or seven times. It's no harder than boiling a bloody kettle. Press copy, hit green. What is so hard about that?

A lot of people just decide they can't use any thing associated with computers and so don't even try to learn.

More election cunts that can't read a sign.

My Mum appears to have fallen for an online Ponzi scheme.

Apparently a friend of a friend knows someone who makes £8k a month from it...

It's amazing to me that the vast majority of printers are as shit today as they were 20 years ago.

[phonics]

Shitty printer is not letting me print a document in black because my colour cartridge is empty. Black ink levels are solid and I've changed all the necessary settings for a non-colour print.

Fuck off printers. You are shit.

See if you can set it to print '100% Black' instead of 'Rich Black' and it should just use the black cartridge

Went to the Chinese and was gonna get a big box of different stuff from their hot food counter. Got to the window and the hot food counter bit was closed. Decided to try the Indian across the road instead. Over a tenner for a fucking lamb madras, rice and garlic naan. Robbing bastards.

Should have just got a munchy box in the Chinese.

[Boydy]

They don't do those here but those hot counter boxes are similar, I guess.

I'm not having a go at her or her dogs but my daily routine coming home from work now involves navigating past a woman and her convoy of dogs. I hate that my routine clashes with hers and the dogs slow her up so much that its unavoidable.

Game offering an Xbox One plus FIFA bundle for £290 online. Same thing in store is £320.

I asked if they'd honor the website price, they said no. They offer a click and collect service on the online one. I asked if I selected that, if I could pick it up. They said yes, but I'd have to wait while they physically ship it to the store from their warehouse, taking about 2 days.
I asked if delivering it to my house would be quicker. They said yes. As it's over £75 it would qualify for free next day delivery. The problem is that the delivery company(I assume DPD) don't operate on the Saturday so it wouldn't even begin to move until Monday afternoon in either of the above cases. So I'd have nothing until Tuesday at the earliest.

I pointed out that Argos, literally around the corner from this Game store, the exact same thing is available, in store, for £280. You can even add Halo 5 for £10 to bring it up to better value. In short the response was to tell me that the Game in store price stands and that's all they will offer.

I'd have gone Argos but for everything being on a card for Game trade in value. All I wanted was to have one to play tonight/tomorrow but I refuse to pay the extra £40.

It's not really the fault of the staff in the store. All those policies will be decided by the head office and the minions won't be allowed to deviate from them. The website is probably essentially a separate entity that ships from Jersey to be able to offer lower prices and the stuff they sell, even if it is click and collect, probably has to come from Jersey so there's a paper trail proving it.

[Disco]

You don't have to pay £40 though, you can pay £10 less around the corner.

Yeah I know it's not their fault. Hence why I'm never arsey with the staff. It's just a bit shit they're pushing people to the website like that. Going to end up taking jobs off people in the long run. I'd expect maybe £5-10 more in store, but not such a big difference.

I do, kind of. I've got the value of one on a gift card for Game so I have to spend it there.

I don't understand how Pizza Hut is still in business, let alone as busy as it is.

Went today for the first time in years and the pizza was bland with the salad bar being completely pointless as there were far too many 'what's the point items'.

It can only be due to nostalgia or a lot of people's taste buds haven't developed at all since the age of 12.

[Lewis]

lol, dickhead.

[Shindig]

Who the fuck gets salad with their pizza? Did you take it home with you so you could have some Diet Coke and chill in your gaming chair?

I had a bit from the salad bar before the pizza came.

Coke Zero, mate.

[Boydy]

Pizza Hut is shit.

[Giggles]

I thought Pizza Hut went wallop years ago.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's an awful, awful place. I'm pretty sure their pizzas are more oil-dependent than many Gulf states.

[Lee]

They do Reindeer Pizza at the Pizza Hut in Tromso Airport.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's an awful, awful place. I'm pretty sure their pizzas are more oil-dependent than many Gulf states.

Indeed and yet we were made to wait 40 minutes for a table.

[Giggles]

I'm finding one of those and very soon.

[randomlegend]

Did anyone try the burger stuffed crust? Lewis wanted to right?

What an abomination

[SvN]

Another beast

[John Arne]

To be fair, the one here did a curry pizza that was fucking delicious.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Did anyone try the burger stuffed crust? Lewis wanted to right?

What an abomination

I think they only did them in America.

I tried a 'cheesy bites' one last night and it wasn't too bad.

[randomlegend]

Nah the burger crusts were definitely over here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You're right.

"This is the latest in our crust innovation – which is what we are famous for."

[Samadini]

You bunch of cunts. ASDA shuts at 4 and I'm not going to make it there in time, so I'm ordering in. Fuck off.

[Boydy]

Shuts at four? What sort of time is that to close? I thought shops always closed at either five or six on a Sunday?

[Samadini]

All the big supermegamarkets shut at 4 on Sundays.

Smaller ones shut around 10, but the one by me is shit.

[Giggles]

I thought it was only in God land around you that they shut on a Sunday at all these days.

[John Arne]

ASDA has always closed at 4 on sunday. It use to really annoy me.

[Boydy]

It's generally six here (1-6 opening hours). When I was in England it seemed to be five. Never seen four.

[Giggles]

That's fucking madness in 2016.

[Boydy]

I thought it was only in God land around you that they shut on a Sunday at all these days.

Nah Sunday trading hours still apply throughout the UK. Shops over a certain size are only allowed to open for five hours.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's four of five here, never seen one open until 6.

[Samadini]

It's 4 for the big guns on Sunday wherever I've lived. Their large stores I'm talking about here, the smaller Sainsbury's Local etc. stay open later.

[Boydy]

Yeah, I'm talking about the big ones too.

Do they open at 11 if they close at 4?

[Samadini]

No idea, I just want pizza.

[Lee]

10-4 on a Sunday here. Other than Morrisons who are brave and go 11-5.

[Boydy]

10-4? I assumed they only got five hours as they're all 1-6 around here and I think the Morrisons I used to go to in London was 12-5. Maybe it was 11-5.

[Samadini]

10-4 sounds right.

Ordered a pizza. Mon.

[Giggles]

It's still ridiculous though. You'd think archaic holdovers like that would all be gone by now.

I don't mind it. Having some time off from consumerism isn't a bad thing for society.
