Today, grinding my gears, is my messy flatmate. Seriously messy. He's got the remainder of a bacon sandwich sitting out for two weeks on the kitchen counter now.


Me neither.

My "housemate" makes a mess of the kitchen, too. He's a proper chef but can't clean-up as he goes apparantly.

Drivers who relish in bragging how long theyve been driving for that day without sleep. Trust me its a scary regularity.
Last night i had 2 taxi drivers saying theyd worked for 12 hours sat night, had 4 hours kip, did 12 hours on sunday and will do the same tomorrow(being the monday) then will have a quick nap then up for the school run....and thats the part that stung...driving tired with other peoples kids on board.

A lot of truck drivers that work 20 hrs a day then fill with coffee and red bull/pro plus etc because their company wont pay the parking charges overnight.

People reeking of dope coming in at all hours to buy large rizla or some other random stuff they dont need yet risk people lives for driving while clearly stoned.

People that have driven from ireland, to pembroke who then stop for a quick coffee then state that theyll make it to London/manchester in record time this time of night.

Old codgers :twisted:

Dont get me wrong, im sure there are some nice ones too. :wink:

I was at Boots today, in the queue, waiting for ages as the old bags were busy sending the till staff round the store finding stuff for them. Nearly 10 minutes went by (and I was next) and the till lady finally comes back. Just as im about to walk forward and get served some old fossil jumps straight in front of me and starts being served. Naturally I express my dissatisfaction out loud, the 2 people behind me loudly agree, and what happens next? The old bag in question carries on getting served as though im not even there, and really takes her time about it. Moreover, the till tramp says nothing at all, acting as though nothing has happened, further enraging me.

What did I do? Threw what I had in my hands at the counter (quite firmly!) and walked out. I have never had till rage before but today I was so close to blowing a gasket I even surprised myself.

God I need a job.

Similar thing happened to me in spoons last week, I lost the rag. Not the first time in there either, last time the waitress tried to lecture me, when I told her to get my f•cking drink she got the manager, who promptly told her to shut up and serve me lol. Sometimes I just can't contain my rage lol

If it's one thing I hate about CEX, it's the queue. Even when you just want to buy and can jump ahead of the chavs trying to flog their stolen dvds, it takes forever. They seem to have a policy of getting as many staff as possible to either sort stock, or stand around doing nothing, at all times.
