Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Sir Trev]

My neighbour is a muppet so I would be amazed if he's got the most efficient as opposed to the "nicest looking" burner. He also has a pile of uncovered logs outside in his garden rough sawn by chainsaw. And how he's not cut off at least one of his own limbs with that electric chainsaw is beyond me as he has zero DIY skills and looks lethal with a hedge trimmer!

McDonald's

Touch screen and table service

Long wait. Too busy serving Uber Eats etc
It seems that if you refuse to take your helmet off and wear a Polite vest they fall over backwards for you.
WTF?

Uber customers shouldn't get preferential service just because they pay someone to join the queue.

You don't want to touch that screen before eating. The traces of things they've found on them... you don't want to know.

He's likely burning not properly seasoned wood then too, which will be very smoky, won't burn well and will eventually cover his chimney in deposits that will become flammable and cause a chimney fire.

I once worked in the largest aseptic fermentation facility in the world, our shift sterility tech once sampled and plated up one of the vending machines immediately after the suppliers had sanitised it. Let's just say that the company changed supplier.

I had this with EE. I was using up £10 credit in no time. Then I found out I could buy a "pack" for £5 which lasted a week but included plenty of talk time and texts. I was putting £10 on it per week before that. Not sure if whoever you're with offers something similar? Could be worth finding out. It wasn't well advertised by EE (because they want people to just pay the higher prices) and I only knew about it because someone told me and then I found info on it after investigating their site.

I agree. Not sure I want to share a touchscreen with people who can't wash their hands after using the toilets before I eat though.
