Things that piss you off that shouldn't

Had a bonus at the weekend, some muppet left £50 sticking out of the cashpoint. :lol:

:huh:

I assume this is aimed at me...how do you know about this?!?!

It was on Central news.

or Facebook!

I went back to Tesco yesterday to ask if anyone had handed the money in (the cashpoint was outside the supermarket). It was a long shot, I know, but worth a try.

As I was explaining what happened to the woman behind customer services, the guy on the tobacco counter overheard and came over.

"Was that on Friday?", he said.

I told him it was

"Oh yeah, a woman came in about it"

"HOORAY!" I thought gleefully as I realised i'd be getting my money back.

"Yeah she came in" he continued, "And said that she saw you leave the money in the cashpoint, and then saw someone else walk up and take it and walk off. But she didn't leave any other details or anything and no-one handed anything in"

Closest thing that I did to that Stevo was get some money out the cashpoint, walk back to my car, decided to take my jacket off and popped my wallet on the roof momentarily, jacket in the boot, drove round to the petrol station where I filled her up (oo err) then relaised I forgot to grab my wallet again off the roof. This was at the Morrisons in Tamworth, to my surprise someone had seen what had happened and handed my wallet, complete with cash in at the customer services desk.

Tamworth is obviously full of much nicer people than Sheldon ;)

I followed a guy for about a mile once with his football boots sat on the roof of his car.

I was flashing my lights and hooting my horn to get him to stop. Think he thought I was going to kill him or something, but he was grateful eventually.

Incidentally, have you ever gone into the bathroom needing a shit and then forgotten to go?

I suppose I can get my head around it if getting cash wasn't your primary objective, after initially only checking your balance, maybe....sort of. Nope, still your own fault

It's easier than you might think IMO Dan. It's just absent mindedness. You take your card back out and your mind may be on the next thing you're doing, or you may have got distracted by something. I've almost done it twice recently, and probably got distracted chatting with the missus or something, but have initially walked away from the cashpoint without taking the money .... until she reminded me.

Of course, if they spat the cash out first and then the card, there's always the chance of leaving your card in the machine instead ...

When I search frantically in every possible place in my house for my glasses, then discover them on my face. Happens at least twice a week.

Maybe you should surround your living room with mirrors.

I have looked all over for my phone before, and getting very angry at not being able to find it. Then I use another phone to call it and suddenly feel vibrating in my pocket.

Cramp...especially in the ribs!

I get cramp in the rib area from time to time - I find the best way of getting rid of it is forcing myself to yawn - something about that extra oxygen intake that settles it down again.

Believe me, I had your view before it happened to me. As I said, i'm sure I took the piss out of someone on this very forum for doing the same thing.

Turns out it's quite easy to do.

Incidentally, no I don't think I have ever forgotten to do a shit when I've gone for one.

BUt there's plenty of other times I go to do something, get distracted, adn end up not doing it.

I guess this is the same thing, just more costly!

Things that piss me off

people...just people in general

I wanna move to completely unpoppulated island with just a dog for company, that way I would never haveto socialise with another human being for company

I'm surprised you haven't contributed to the autism/allism threads.

Anyway...

Bookshops that misfile books, e.g. "Band of Brothers" under "fiction", etc.
