Really minor annoyances

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

The local Aldi constantly running out of their Coffee Stout

Tastes a bit synthetic to me, that. On the other hand, they were doing this stuff which I really enjoyed, Tiny Rebel vibes about it, then just arbitrarily stopped selling it...then they replaced it with two more decent beers....

...then stopped selling THEM too.

Bastards.

That was nice of him/her. Do they wear the livery and collect memorabilia or do they express their enthusiasm via simply delivering parcels to random people and telling them how great Royal Mail are?

People who sarcastically pick up on obvious typos.

Oddly specific delivery times.

I had a parcel from Royal Mail due yesterday and originally it was something like due 10:27 to 12:32.

Then I got another mail to say it was not an early afternoon slot with similarly specific numbers. Then a late afternoon slot. Then early evening, then late evening. Then I got a mail to say they tried and nobody was home. We ere, they lied. Then I had to be the one to rearrange delivery.

Why not just say they will try Wednesday, sorry we failed we will try again tomorrow.

Double annoying points because a Royal Mail fan did come with a parcel for my daughter.

I was carded on Tuesday as nobody was home and they said they would try again on Wednesday. I meant to reroute it for Post Office collection and I forgot.

I was at work again on Wednesday, so they left it tucked behind the wheelie bin at the side of my house.

Made me wonder why they couldn't leave it behind the bin on Tuesday!

People who name their kids Coco-Lily

Out and about yesterday there was a woman shouting for her child to come back to her “Harmony, Harmony” , who calls their kid after a hairspray anyhow.

My sister's daughter is called Harmony, she's 39

My daughter is called Pantene Pro V. Got a problem with that?

That’s Head and Shoulders better than Harmony.

Dirty bastards in Lidl that pick bakery items out with their hands, and look at you like you’re that daft one when you call them a f***ing scruff

I've never bought salad from the self serve salad bar in Morrisons since I saw one woman letting her children play in it while she browsed the aisles nearby.

Putting the salt on first then the vinegar. Everyone knows it's vinegar first. That way you don't wash the salt off.

Not so sure about this one. I was always vinegar first, but I read that the salt sucks to the grease/ batter then the vinegar sticks to the salt.
I now layer both several times to be sure.

To be honest I am not sure either but once somebody puts something in my head it sticks and it's hard to budge. I'm a simple soul really.

My wife tells me that she watched a young lass playing in a service station by poking, prodding and handling and putting back all the Krispy Kreme doughnuts out of one them cabinets they have in motorway service stations. Her dad apparently looked on and laughed.

It’s one of our reasons for not eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The others being that they look disgusting and it’s never even crossed our minds to ever try one.

Someone I used to work with loved anything American food wise. Sweets were always things like Haribo (fruit pastels or jelly babies far better), burgers was always one of the really expensive but average chains and he would buy Krispy Kreme doughnuts by the tray load - which was to share out to give him credit. I find them really expensive and a bit sickly. Those packs of 5 you get on the bakery at Tesco or Sainsburys are far better and far cheaper.

The only time we by salad stuff is by online delivery from Ocado.
We know the general public haven't been pawing it.
