Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Chippies. First one is where you just get beaten into it by someone (or there's two of you approaching the door together) and you decide to let them in ahead of you. Then they proceed to order meals for the entire population of a small country and you're in there 10 minutes or so. Second one is where you're in a huge queue and finally it's your turn. "Just waiting for chips - be about 5 minutes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst of all taking pictures in front of any significant building or sight. I believe you went there. I don't need forensic fooking evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism For me its just facebook itself, its just a medium for people to post and tell everyone how wonderful their lives are etc etc, if they are that wonderful what do you need to try and convince everyone for?

There is a woman at work who is particularly bad at this, forever posting 'look at me' type posts and what appear to be staged pictures of her kid obviously hungry for likes. One particularly bad example was a post that was somehow a picture of their shadows but holding a leaf out and saying - Me and [kids name] are going to start appreciating nature and posting it's beauty every day. Cringeworthy. It was made better by the post that evening though showing here front garden flooded with an angry message. Never heard about 'nature' again.

I've got to the point that if I meet a new acquaintance and they ask me if I'm on facebook or talk about being on it then it's important that we don't become anymore than passing conversationalists. We would have absolutely nothing in common. People look at me like I have two heads when I say I'm not on Facebook...I actually end up 'defending' myself like I've said I don't own a t.v. and live in a hut with no running water. PS Neds ehhh.. Can I add my blood literally ? boils when I'm in a supermarket till-queue with a few things.. and an operator shouts over to open a new lane and the **** behind me with a massive trolley-full barges past and starts unloading!!

I wouldnt let it get you down, you can walk away safely in the knowledge you arent an inconsiderate ill mannered stain on society. Good manners cost nothing. It is nice to see it does still happen, i was in the supermarket the other day, had 2 items and the nice old lady and gentleman with a full trolley insisted i go before them as they admitted it was going to take them ages. Of course i didnt hear them as i was on my phone posting on facebook about how great my shopping experience was and told them not to be so rude as to interrupt me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Another speech and language gripe... 'thank you so so much' Everyone says it, it clearly comes from that X factor crap and all their over the top play acting. What's wrong with the good old 'thank you very much'? A waitress (sorry, server, waitress is sexist) on my holiday to every English customer took their money and said 'thank you SO much'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year on holiday in mauritus we were in a restaurant and there was a table of 6 people next to us, i know you shouldnt be too nosey but i couldnt help but notice that the clearly 'alpha' male of the group beckoned the waitress (i am allowed to say waitress i think as she was female) over and told her they wanted more wine, clearly thinking they wished to order some more she asked what they wanted only to be pointed to the bottle of wine that was sat in the cooler, they wanted it pouring. So she proceeded to pour the wine and not one of them looked up at her or thanked her for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
