I'm adding people who dither and weave their trolley along in the supermarket reading their till receipt blocking the exit to the list of people that need removing from this planet,thanks.

And the sheer number of wallies that walk through the entrance and then just stop right in the way for no reason.

 

Oh and don't forget the people who use the shops for socializing and stand in the middle in big groups in the way gassing.

 

When i go shopping, i grab a basket or trolley, run round as quick as i can, get it done and get out.

 

 

 

How did you not mention those that feel the trolley bays are too far to walk to afterwards from their exhausting dawdle round the shop, and just leave it randomly in the car park so that it can roll into someones car? 

 

Also, is it so hard to get out of a car without hitting the one next door? I watched someone in an old clio lovingly add a ridiculously large crease in a brand new BMW, look at their "masterpiece" then park elsewhere...

The people who leave trolleys tend to be the same idiots that leave rubbish next to their car then drive off too, I hate litter bugs!

I was watching a woman last week who unloaded her shopping into the boot and then turned and shoved her trolley as hard as she could across the car park towards some empty parking bays.

 

It stopped and then started rolling again and then stopped again before rolling a bit further and she stood there watching it nervously and stepping backwards and forwards trying to decide if she should go and move it to stop it rolling.

 

By the time she had stood there doing that, she may as well have taken it back to the allocated bay

I spent approx 2 hrs looking for a switch , found various other things I wanted weeks ago 

 

gave up looking for the switch - assumed it was lost

 

went on ebay - bought the switch

 

paid for it

 

2 mins later found the switch - just as the confirmation email came thru

 

£5 wasted , bugger

Got a laptop here i am repairing to sell on. It came to me with a smashed screen and broken lid catches but on this laptop the catches are part of the lid so i needed a new lid too. The bezel is a bit tired too so i decided to replace the lot. Ordered a new screen, new bezel and new lid from 3 different sellers after scouring ebay and just after completing the checkout, it came up 'other items you might like' and one of the suggestions was someone selling a complete lid assembly with screen, bezel, hinges and lid ready to fit for just £25. I was absolutely gutted

Glad it isn't only me
