Change companies? The Brits discovered in the 80s that allo.wing competition tends to improve services. Failing that, contact management. At least a good rant warms you up.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Manscaping eh? In moderation it's fine - just depends on how short you set the clippers to...

Two gripes
Aldi staff stocking shelves during its busy time on Saturday when the aisles are narrow enough without pallet trolleys! Peoples lack of spacial awareness and getting in the way or leaving their trolley at an angle so you can't get past!

Gripe of the day - What is yours?
You can do something about the first.
Throw yourself at the ground like a Premier League footballer and claim the pallet truck hit your ankle. |

If you stop buying the stuff they wouldn't have to fill up the shelves

Yes, I had great pleasure in bashing one particular annoying shoppers trolley out of the way

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
People who can no longer just enjoy the moment.
I haven't been to a big fireworks display for a few years so CMSD2 Chris from here got us tickets for Battersea Park tonight. 30 minutes of fantastic fireworks, despite the rain. But all around us were idiots trying to photograph or record it on their mobiles. Why? The footage will be rubbish, the sound poor, who is ever going to watch it and while they are faffing about with their phones they are missing the sheer spectacle of the display. It's the same at gigs, sporting events, even school sports day. I just don't get it.
