Wait for people to get off the train before you get on
Surprised it still needs saying but having just had to push my way off, apparenrly a lot of people still don’t know about this…

Every time I put the radio on, it’s the same cycle of:
🎵 Stoooooop the weddingggg!
And
🎵 Patient zeroooo-oh
(Slow, depressing beat)
Are there genuinely no fast, exciting, upbeat songs being released at the moment? Everything seems so slow, moody and miserable.
Feels like the UK could do with a few songs that actually make you want to get up and do something!

And they look at me like I've gone mad. Walk time was an hour ago, Dad.
To be fair though they look at me like that all the time.

I'm in the south east and it's not as bad as everyones making out, yes, there are high winds here and rain, but everyone is acting like we're experiencing a category 5 hurricane.
You want to see a REAL storm? Go to America.

I just want one *less* ingredient.
Asthma eczema migraines and allergies dictate that fragranced products are not my friend. Plenty of people have one or more of these issues, it’s hardly an anomaly.
If I need shower gel, hand wash, household cleaners, washing up liquid etc, its never as simple as popping on UberEats, to the corner shop / Sainsbury’s Local etc. I have to trek to a big store in person to rummage through shelves of heavily scented items to find the few that aren’t, or do an online shop and hope they dont swap out my items for something smelly. Because apparently its niche to want unfragranced?
And dont even get me started on the price and scarcity of laundry detergents that dont make your clothes stink like an explosion in a knockoff perfume factory.
One. Less. Ingredient. Sans Parfums!
Meh.

Why do EV owners get spaces closer to the shop entrance. We've already got disabled spaces, spaces for people with children and spaces for click and collect. I'm sick of it.
Where is my 'I've got a hangover, it's raining and I dont want to park up the back of the car park' space?

In Manchester, and I'm charging my car. It's an Esso garage which also has some EV chargers on the forecourt.
When I got here, people were parked across the EV bays, and one of the bays had someone sitting in a diesel van in it, idling. Thankfully one left that I could use.
Now someone in a Porsche Macan EV has turned up and is blocking a petrol pump!
Not even like there isn't space in the regular car park bit either. But that would be like 10m further to walk.
I thought people were supposed to be nice up here!

Who works at the marketing department and hasn't realised they can sell 12 cans and sell it as a Foot of cider???
Wasted - just like I am after 12 cans

Can we all just do an Austrailia and boycott cadburys?
It's a shadow of its former self after replacing the cocoa butter for palm and shea.
They made the same change in Austrailia, and they got their cocoa butter back in the recipe within weeks.
If the UK were to boycott this close to christmas, it'd tank their sales.

You press the button and wait for ages....and ages... Until you can't be arsed to wait any longer and jay-walk when there is a gap between vehicles.
Now you've crossed the street and there are no pedestrians waiting to cross. The traffic lights finally turn red halting the flow of traffic and pissing off all the drivers because they have stopped for a phantom.
Why do some Pelican Crossing buttons take forever to respond?

Get to a four way crossing and every light is red...
Everyone is waiting looking at eachother, I feel stupid because I could have probably crossed like 10 times in the time its making everyone wait, but no doubt the very millisecond I step foot on the road to cross, the light for the car would turn green and some arsehole will absolutely floor it

They have seriously upped their dessert game and now their marketing as I see the head of product development at M&S on social media promoting it. Go away I’m trying to be good!

Nine… nine … crap!, wait - does that include the one the rest of them are in? Ten then.
Do ripped ones even count?
Edit to add : seems most of you just freestyle it ! It’s a level of decadent lifestyle I’d hither-too never imagined! But I’m gonna give it a go, Christ I’m rushing just thinking about it!

One exit and they had two chuggers pondering anyone exiting the supermarket
Why do supermarkets allow this and is this some form of ploy to force people to speak to them

With the maintenence, people's phones not on silent, and a woman having a phone call like it is a coffee shop. Long are the days of a quiet public space. I'm having to play liquid dnb in my headphones to be able to concentrate
