O/T Irrational Irritations away from Sport : Wed Oct 05, 2011 10:15 pm  

Well it's O/T season (well it is for me)

and we'll get the obvious.... Wigans fans (even though i said away from sport) out the way


For me

Supermarkets in which the entrance is on the right hand side of the building and you have to work from right to left.

It's not right and if it's set up this way i (genuinely) won't shop there.

Nothing irrational about it yed, it's pure evil. I went to Morrisons once, never again. Place is back to front. Just shop in ASDA or Tesco now, proper shops, the right way round.

On a related theme, I get an irrational desire to punch people in the face that add an s on the end of Tesco. 'I'm just off to Tescos' No your sodding not, there's no such place. How do you fancy going via A&E you twerp?

Phew, it's not just me then, my wife thinks I'm daft.

A worse one for me, was when I worked with about 60 or so Scouse wannabees (ie Runcorn), who always said " I'm going to THE Asda"...no, It's Asda...not THE Asda

Maintaining the retail therapy experiences:

Shopping (accompanying !) wife and daughter in Hollister - so dark you can't see the prices or the clothes

Always being in the way when waiting for the wife while she shops in ladies boutiques - should have male rest areas in all lady shops

Supermarkets with stupid narrow aisles

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

Self service scanners that don't actually scan and no room to fill more than one carrier bag

People who don't clean up their dogs mess in woolston park. And people who fill up at the petrol pump,on a busy forcourt at asda,tesco. Other supermarkets are available. Then leave the car whilst they do a big shop.

People who let their Children push a supermarket trolley,they clearly have no control over.
Trolley full of offers ,Bargins and buy one get one free items and your Ankles are nearly getting snapped by some little Gremlin pushing the Darn thing..

The poop state celebrity culture we live in where things such as those morons from Essex are hailed as idols with people wanting to be just like them.

The aspirations of the country today seem to be limited to a footballers wife, that's the pinnacle. Women have fought for equal rights etc. for decades for a bunch of moronic shlags in this generation to aim to be, basically, a whore, where they are kept women just for their looks whilst their master does god knows what elsewhere.

I went mental at my girlfriend when she told me that she queued up for over an hour to meet some moron from that Essex show in a club on holiday. Ridiculous

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
