What cheeses me off

[MARTINE]

Today's cheesed off coffee experience:

Cheeses me off when small coffee shops, only one person there, constantly stop to take new orders as people walk in. Starts to make coffee ... stops and takes a new order; rinse, repeat. What should be a wait of a few minutes turns into 5-10.

And worse… cold coffee

People who simply stop in the entrance way of anything, blocking any one else from entering and are oblivious. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

In a similar vein, what cheeses me off are those who use an escalator then simply stop!

People, go forward a metre before pausing to get you bearings, fumble with bags etc.

In a similar vein, people who step onto an escalator or travelator then stop.

Just because the stairs are moving doesn’t mean your legs need to stop... keep it moving people!

And if the shopping trolley has travelator brakes on the rear wheels, don't they know you can lift the rear wheels & not be stuck humming The Girl From Ipenema?

I would like to see them try to get onto the wrong-side travelator with their trolleys, in the same way they walk on the wrong side of the footpath even if it's really clearly marked with centre-lines and arrows & icons of people walking &/or bikes.

Travelator yes, escalator no!

I'm not gunna carry my rollaboard while on an escalator.

I do keep to the right or left (depending on local culture) so people can pass.

That’s fair.

To clarify my post, I’m not talking about people with luggage or prams etc.

But if it’s just you, keep walking!

Sounds like you go off before the milk.

Or the ones that stop just before getting onto an escalator!

As true as this is, I take this prompt as a 50% chance that I will get points for the transaction, 50% being the probability after the 25% probability that the card scanned correctly that their system will remember it

What chees-ed me off – change to chees-ed was necessitated by what I saw this morn – sitting in a local café I frequent semi regularly cause it is on way to work and they are always open b4 7 and I can get a great coffee and a quick skim of the daily papers they supply for customer usage.

There is 1 common M / F toilet in this café and no urinal – get the picture – I was later this morn so sitting there about 8 and almost finished my coffee when toilet door opens and out struts a ‘robust’ woman with a paper tucked under her arm – she marches straight to the paper rack and returns what I assume was one of the complimentary papers to the rack then marches out the door head held high and wanders off.

Remember the look on Jerry's face when 'Poppy got sloppy'? I mirrored that

OMG – did I really see this? That paper rack is now TOTALLY OFF LIMITS to me for all future visits – what a disgusting habit!!!

I can actually understand that ... for people who don't have any consideration for what others might think.

A helluva lot of people read on the lav, at home. Where the toilet is undoubtedly a lot cleaner, and only THEY have to put-up with the poopie-fingers & the Faecal Collie Forms(*) all over the magazine or newspaper which they then probably continue to read while eating breakfast. It probably just never occurs that it might be icky to others.



(*) I'm still a little miffed about not getting a change to use that one, referring to any lawn-ornaments left behind by one of a mate's ex's collies

When a presenter opens their PowerPoint and you have to see their slides/notes while they fiddle around trying to find the F5 or the 'start show' button.
Just save it as a PPS rather than a PPT and it will automatically start as a slideshow, FFS!

I like that, seeing the number of slides is invaluable for determining my endurance level, especially for bad presenters.

I disagree!!
…..As in ….The kind of people who would do this in a restaurant probably live in much less hygienic circumstances at home … says a lot about their cleanliness standards (lack thereof)
Disgusting
