    People who eat loudly, especially on public transport/around others.

    If you eat like a * animal, or want to eat Tuna on a train STAY IN THE HOUSEEEE!

    The severe lack of Ice Cream Vans now. When I was a kid....they were everywhere and children used to chase them down the street shouting "ICEY ICEY". Ice Cream cones were 30p and a 20p mix up was.....20p. The Ice Cream Van at ma bit used to sell * and even soap bar hash and everything. I think he even ran a bookies from it aswell

    I went up the big hill with my daughter to the top of Stirling Castle and was very happy when I found that there was an Ice Cream Van at the top of the hill after ages walking. But Ice Cream cones were nearly £4 and they didnt even do mix ups. No *, no hash, and no bookies.

    Life's just no the same anymore

    Ice cream cones are extortionate nowadays. I was at the park recently and paid £13 for three. Outrageous.

    Barehead shopping centre.

    Enjoyed my KFC though,they were obviously understaffed and the people serving and the manager were class…and the guy who does the wee Boca 10 store is cool,their football gear is quality.

    When you’re in a shop and the one person in front of you wants to play a game of supermarket sweep running back and forth to get more stuff from the shelves. Not to mention electric card, smokes, and stuff like scratchcards. Even saw one person who had the gall to stand and scratch off a ticket while expecting to still be served with a queue behind.

    Stay in the house if you act like a moron like that.

    Adverts on TV by the NHS (who we're told are strapped for cash) effectively saying "if you feel unwell see your doctor".

    Just after co-vid my doctors had a sign up saying "If you feel unwell do not come to the surgery"

    So you'd not to go to the doctors if you felt unwell. You were only allowed in if there was nothing wrong with you

    loads of them did that and for a very long time. They did phone appointments and would then tell you to go to a &e. They sent my gf numerous times because they didn't want an I'll person in their building but we're happy to stretch the hospitals.

    This sounds like 90% of the arseholes at my local shops :giggle1:

    Took a run round for a couple of bottles of beer just before the shop closed as I’m off today, and thanks to some * infront of me, I was still in the shop when the shutters where going down.

    People who do 50 point turns in small streets bouncing and driving up and down on kerbs instead of just reversing 15ft. :43:

    The concept of mixed company.

    I've never done the mixing thing, not religious because that's all malarkey, but hun /human mixing.

    Even if its 99% reb, 1% hun.... mixing is wrong.

    The problem is you used to be able to have a dual business, Timpsons done shoes and keys.

    The icey used to do ice cream / confectionery etc..and also a top level drugs service too...changed days.

    thank * there is less, everytime I go past one my son wants something and throws a huff when I don't cave.
    I know someone who used to be one. He said people started getting bigger areas, taxman started to go down on them as they heavily evaded tax and ice cream from the shops is better quality than it was 20 or 30 years ago.

    My in-laws used to sell * from a sandwich van. They said anybody could sell them legally in the 80s, in the 90s they cracked down on it.

    Not particularly trivial but the fact that Homeless Project Scotland have had to move from under Central at Argyle Street due to complaints from a business. Think they're now forced down to Clydeside. Not sure who the business is but there's really only one there at that time of night to be honest.
