Sports direct. Need I say more. One awful shop. Another gripe of mine is the asda cockhedge what hell hole that is. It seems to attract the worst of the people of warrington.

Primark on a busy day, people literally pushing you to get to something, down right rude degenerates!

Re: O/T Irrational Irritations away from Sport : Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:06 am  

I once went round Asda Cockhedge on a Saturday afternoon. 'Flipping heck', David Attenborough would have a field day in there. Talk about the missing link!!!

Mothers with pushchairs who start to cross a busy road by putting the loving pushchair off the kerb into the road and waiting for a gap to cross.

Same ones who can usually be heard round town on a Saturday stuffing a white hot sausage roll in their kids face, saying something along the lines of "Come on Chardonnay, you can't have your cake till you've 'et your sausage roll".

There's more goodness in the cake you nice bloke.

Cafe owners who don't pop the egg,on your bacon sausage egg barm. So when you take a bite the egg spills all down the front off your best lonsdale hoody. You have just bought from sports direct.

Looking at today's Warrington Guardian, and shaking my head at the Charming Baby section. WTF were the parents taking, when they decided to give their babies such 5h1t3 names....."Oh look at me, I'm going call my kid Miley, after a sh1tty American 'new sensation, TV star' "....... I'm surprised the vicars/priests allow it.

Don't these 'planks' realise, that their kids have got to go through potentially another 90 odd years, with a poop name, all because they got carried away on a wave of hysteria, with a 'fashionable' TV star.


GOD, I'M ON ONE, TODAY

Back on the retail/petrol thing
1. People who let their brattish offspring (I've even seen this happen with kids upto the age of about 10) stand/sit in the main bit of a shopping trolley. HANG ON!!! People have to put fresh bread/fruit and veg in there, and your "littles camps" have just walked through dog 5h1t...not very hygienic, is it?

2. People (this one is mainly women) who, after filling their cars with fuel, go and stand in the queue to pay, and then just stand there . When they finally reach the front of the queue, they suddenly realise they have to pay, and then there's a 2 minute mad scramble through bags/handbags and wallets for their credit cards.....BE READY, YOU HALF-WITS.

3. Supermarkets (mainly Morrison's) who leave BOGOF signs out, when they've gone past their offer date, or when they've put the offer underneath the incorrect sized pack. I always check, but feel angry for all the people who they con.

This country's morbid obsession for X Factor, Britains Got Talent, I'm a 'Celebrity', Cheryl Cole and the people who react with disbelief, when I tell them I don't watch any of the above shows...."what, you don't watch X Factor? What do you do on a Saturday, then"

Overzealous bureaucracy

Chris Hollins

People who whinge at parking fines

Thanks Lefty, that's saved me a long post. The only thing I would add to it is shopping with the wife. Why can't women walk in straight lines up on aisle and down the next in M and S?

People blocking aisles with trollies as they have a good old chat

This is my biggest gripe with supermarkets..... i used to be polite and ask nicely until one day this middle aged woman shot me a snotty look... so i just rammed her trolley out of the way with way more force than was necessary, sending it spinning into cheese section .... that seemed to work so well i have been doing it ever since.... she ruined it for everyone.

also people that leave their trolley in the middle of an aisle and walk off to browse... its not the walking off that's the problem... its the fact that no one can get past.... these people get their trolley shunted out of the way.... admittedly its not as big a crime as blocking up the aisle to talk to someone.... but its still inconsiderate and requires action.

the mrs goes mad at me..... she thinks i need anger counselling.... when she see's 2 trolleys next to each other, or one in the middle of an aisle, she turns round and walks off...... i on the other hand, like to think that i am helping educate these ill mannered heathens.... maybe next time they will think twice.

Re: O/T Irrational Irritations away from Sport : Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:07 am  

also those kids that are there to 'help' back your bags.... supermarkets shouldn't allow it.... tesco have recently succumbed to this mob of glorified beggars.... I avoid Morrison's for this very reason.

"do you need any help with your packing"

of course i don't "need" any help with my packing... i also don't want my loaf of bread putting in the bottom of a bag and having tinned goods piled on top.

if they are going to put these kids in supermarkets packing everyone's bags, they should at least give them some training on what goes where..... a bit of packing etiquette wouldn't go amiss for my 20p.

Tesco's 3 for £3 on fresh orange juice bargain (Thing is 1 carton costs £1) what's the point?! They do the same on some yoghurts... £1.34 a pack or 3 for £4 offer (Saving a grand total of 2p!!!)

Winds me up!
