RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE

[big ron]

If they want to stop shoplifting they just need to upgrade all their self checkout machines to the ones that have ultra sensitive bagging areas.

I was routinely nicking something on pretty much every shopping trip, but then my local Waitrose and Sainsbury's branches both changed their machines and now anything that 'accidentally' doesn't scan gets noticed the moment it's in the bagging area and I have to be all OH MY GOODNESS DID THAT NOT SCAN?

Surely the majority of shoplifting is by petty chancers like me, rather than folk shoving packs of bacon down their trousers and the like

Yeah I read an article about casual theft skyrocketing when these machines went in. GOOD.

I remember when they first came out you could steal a bottle of wine every shop by picking up two, scanning the cheaper one then putting the expensive one down last and hitting pay quickly. The attendant would come and scan away the ID check and it would clear the unexpected item error at the same time. FREE MALBEC

The SmartShop apps make it all the more easy. There’s no bagging area at all and you just load it up in your trolley or bag it before paying at one scanner. Occasionally a staff member will check up to 3 “random” items when you pay, but it will always be whatever is at the top. Would be incredibly easy to steal something.

Take an empty box with you and say ‘got to get the last post’ hurriedly then bin the box when you are round the corner

Ron that's lying

 

[BoysForSeles]

I am not sure I understand. Why do you need to scan a receipt? To prove you have paid?

Also if you don’t request a receipt when it gives you the option as an environmental choice do you get frogmarched into a security office to empty your bags?

CLOCKS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN PUT BACK BY AN HOUR

Actually I never change the clock in my car during the winter. I feel like I’ve gained an hour every time I look at it and realise it’s wrong

 

[big ron]

Could supermarkets please STOP moving things around the every couple of months please? Just when I start to remember which aisle the hummus is in you GO AND FUCKING MOVE IT AGAIN

I know they think that by moving things around it encourages people to browse more while looking but it just makes me want to LEAVE!

I've just spent 10 minutes walking up and down different aisles looking for something. Then got into conversation with a strange but harmless gentleman about the fact supermarkets do this. Hated the first part, not the second part.

 

[big ron]

When I forget how to spell very simple words like aisle and have to google it.

 

[Nancy]

Supermarkets have lots of pernickety words like aisle, queue and broccoli.

 

[big ron]

Yeah but when you describe them as pernickety then I love them

 

[big ron]

I've just learnt that the Americans say persnickety and I'm not sure if hate that or not. Add it to the PENDING column.

YouTube reaction videos

Mr Kate showed me one last night and the actual video was good but why was the other half of the screen taken up by some GOON just staring into space?

I suppose it’s like a replacement for the “shared experience” that so few people have now. You see something amazing that you love, and now watch it again as if you’re watching it with someone else?

It must be the easiest way to make money from YouTube content.

This is the random thing I hate most of all.

You wicked, evil child. Hob nobs are a blessing.

HOB NOBS! Don't get the love for this shit biscuit

Thank you for speaking truth to power.

 

[funky]

Do we need a hob nob debate?

I detest them. Don't get them. Like biting into a hard piece of porridge.

HOB NOBS! Don't get the love for this shit biscuit

I agree if it's just generic hob nobs, but if you're coming for the chocolate ones I'm going to have to start legal proceedings.

 

[Inner Smile]

BOTH! The texture is horrible

I use them to patch up my drywall; they have no other useful applications.
