    I find it more annoying when I give stuff away for free on Facebook and people ask if I'd deliver. The * cheek.

    Pavement hoggers. You know the type, * that walk/run/whatever in a big group and don't go single file and expect a single person to jump into a hedge or traffic to accommodate their entitled arses. Does my box in.

    Just stop dead and pretend you are taking a call or something. Force them to move.

    I wouldn't say this is trivial but it is absolutely cuntish:

    We put netlix on about 3 months ago and over the last week I've been watching Vikings. Got to the third episode of series 3 and a message popped up saying "you must now upgrade to an ad free plan to unlock this content" I tried watching other things that are not locked and they now added adverts to their programmes. An unskippable 30 second ad for Peppa Pig. So on top of the monthly premium they now want more money.

    * them, within an hour of not being able to access Vikings I download it by torrent, all 4 series I've still to watch in good quality video. At least this way I can keep the programme forever. I've said to my mrs to cancel Netflix when the next payment is due. I can get the last episodes of Cobra Kai and the last episodes of Squid Game from the same place I got Vikings.

    As for their overall selection: it's utter pish. I watch a lot of YouTube shorts so often there I'll see a short clip of something that looks good. Look it up on Netflix and nope, they don't have it.

    In conclusion: now they've added adverts or expect more money to avoid ads Netflix is not worth having. PM me if you are interested in the torrent link I mentioned earlier.

    Netflix is pretty *, I only keep it for the kids shows which are ad free if you watch in a kids profile. Cobra Kai has been * for a while and the last season of Squid Games was passable but was basically a half season.

    We get our broadband through EE and it's in my mrs's name. We had originally got it for the Tyson v Jake Paul fight so her son and a couple of his mates could pop up to see it. After that I found I few things that were worth watching like the Gentleman (The series but not the film because of course they don't have the film) and another thing about a top heart surgeon who is running a secret clinc in a disused part of the London underground and that turned out to be pretty good, but nothing we couldn't get by torrent.

    We both quite enjoy Young Sheldon and there's an entire season of that missing from Netflix. They are pretty crap now and we deffo won't be renewing now since they've decided to be greedy scumbags and hiding things behind ad paywalls and putting ads on during their programmes. I still have a DVD burner so I can at least add my downloads to my collection. Young ones today pay for everything yet own nothing. Games, film and TV and even music all held on servers and if the server gets shut down they lose everything.

    Doors with big handles that don't pull open.... they push open instead.

    The doors in the shopping centre car park in Stirling used to do this and leave some folk standing confused. Big heavy doors going from car park to the lifts... with big metal handles. Obviously handles suggest 'pull' and it's everyone's first reaction to try to pull open the door.
    A person in the know would come up behind and casually push the doors open, leaving the first person feeling like a right dipshit.

    I've came across other doors that do the same. They should at least write "push" on the door so folk don't feel so stupid.
    Absolute mind * putting handles on a door that needs pushed, not pulled open

    You often get them in accessible and ambulent public toilets. Easier to open for accessibility. Yeah they should put up a sign but they have a use.

    Easy open packets of cauld meat aswell. Never once has that easy peel thing worked for me. Never once in years. Knife to open it. Everytime.

    I also still can't open cartons of milk properly. I can open them but everyone gets * off the way I do it cause they can't pour it properly.

    It became law in 2015 that shops had to charge you for plastic bags. Due them being non biodegradable and pollution and Greta Thunberg and yada yada yada.

    Ok.....

    Why though does Morrisons charge you for using their paper bags then? And McDonalds.
    Paper bags are biodegradable. Nothing wrong with them. No need to charge the public anything. Yous are just greedy swindling capitalist * is all

    An epic rant

    I don't want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

    They still cost money to make, just reuse your old bags.

    Don't use the paper ones though, they're *.

    Nope. No one charged for bags before 2015. The charge was brought in specifically for plastic bags as they don't degrade naturally.
    After a while Morrisons switched to paper bags cause they were probably cheaper for them to buy in than plastic.....they didn't bother dropping the plastic bag charge though....and now we needlessly pay for paper bags that used to be free.

    I dont pay for plastic bags anyway though. I just lift them at Tesco on the way in to do ma shopping....Scrumple them up into a ball and put them in the trolley/basket.....when I go through the self scans to pay, the bags look like I've brought them from home....cause they are all scrumpled up. Free bags. Just like the old days
