Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

This is the reason I've stopped taking a trolley in Aldi.

My back is banjaxed, mris etc can't find anything wrong but it's still banjaxed.

I would take a trolley to free up my hands especially for the special buys section.

So while I might have a trolley I'd usually only have a handful of stuff as I'd be walking home....I refer once again to banjaxed back.

Bit the amount of times people, usually older men, would skip Infront of the trolley....oh I only have 2 items....eh I only have 3 and I've been standing here like a pleb for last 5 minutes as it's aldi and only one feckin till open.

Then you're the one that's a c*nt....not worth it .

If you don't value your own time, no one else will either.

Companies switching to only online ordering.

Went into their shop to order unknowingly, was told I couldn't place an order with them, that it was only online now and I was ushered back out the door without even really getting a chance to ask anything.

Went onto their website to order, it didn't have the specific options for my particular order so I had to send an email to inquire.

Next day I receive an email back, giving me some options, I choose one which works best for me however there would have to be some manual input from myself at the store so I ask if this is possible.

Wait another day for a response, they say it isn't possible and that two of their people that can do the manual input part are working externally somewhere else and that they have one person that can do it but they are very busy.

They suggest I do the manual part myself at home, however I can't do it at home because I don't have access to the same machines that they have in store. So I have to email them back to tell them I can't, now I'm waiting again, to hear back from them, which will probably take another day judging by the previous response time.

The thing is I used to just walk into this place, wait maybe 10 mins depending on how busy it was, then I would have a one to one talk with the specific person allocated to my order and we could discuss the specifics (5-10 minutes). I would then leave and come back in about 2-3 hours and my order would be complete and ready to collect.

I started this process on Monday, it's now Wednesday and by the time they get back to me again it will probably be Thursday.

TA I'm under attack by a swarm 😁

I'm convinced my dog is a salamander or Targaryen or something. She will actively seek out the hottest possible patch of garden to lie in in this kind of weather. I have to physically move her indoors or into the shade every so often.

My folks have that godawful fake grass on their deck and it gets unbelievably hot. Like, you wouldn't put your hand on it. She's currently panned out on it, in the corner that gets full sun and absolutely no breeze whatsoever. I'd sat it's easily in the mid-30s or higher in there and she's absolutely LOVING it. Weirdo.

I went to buy a Danish pastry earlier as a treat. Went to pay at the self checkout. Looked down through the list of pastries and couldn't find Danish pastry anywhere. Eventually had to ask a member of staff. They pointed to Pain Au Raisin on the screen. It's a fecking Danish pastry not a pain a raisin. They're not French so why are they giving them a French name?

Tesco?

Trying so much to be a supportive relative to a family member with early stage dementia and not succeeding.

A power cut at half three this morning set the house alarm off, so jumped up, knocked it off and fell back asleep. Woke a half hour later by confused loved one who was insisting there were text messages appearing on the now flashing clock radio. I responded poorly and have felt like a sh*tebag every since.

This is hard :(

The flies from last evening are back with a vengeance. This happened last year too. Is it the blue colour Any nature experts?

People who work in public serving jobs openly hate the public (customers) they serve. No one made you do it, no one is asking you to stay, and no one sprung a surprise on you that you would be dealing with people. You knew from the start what the job would entail, you signed a contract and you are still working even with that big miserable face on you. How about you do your job and act professionally because I have no sympathy for you and the decision YOU MADE TO WORK THERE and STILL CONTINUE TO WORK THERE.
