I asked a supermarket pharmacy for some Migraleve Pink which is the one that includes an anti nausea med. The assistant tried to sell me their own brand co-codamol telling me they were the same thing. When I said they weren't she grabbed the packet in a really bad tempered way to read the labelling. On finding she was wrong she didn't say a word and practically threw the purchase at me.
After thinking about it I emailed the store customer service about it. It wasn't so much that she didn't know her stuff, it was the attitude.

Chuggers - Charity Muggers - at the end of every checkout in the supermarket, in todays' case Asda. I don't carry cash (I only use my debit card). They make you feel guilty when you don't throw any money in their bucket.
If a supermarket has twenty checkouts, just have the Chuggers on ten of them so we can have a guilt-free shopping trip ! |

Or the favourite. I'm a first time caller, also first time poster. Did you want a medal? Or a balloon.

"Did you want a medal? Or a balloon."
Are Crackerjack Pens and Pencils now ancient history? ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GktZgeOQWUk (this clip borders on child abuse and is tougher than Mastermind) |

I think it's usually that they are nervous and are worried they might not handle it very well.

Hey Plucky. Not everyone is brimfull with confidence. Cut them some slack.. I've seen posters give up after a couple of posts because of that attitude.

The way that people are rushing out and buying those 'NutriBullet' blender things. Don't they realise that blenders have been around for about 30 years? So many sheep about...

I hate the way so many British people now pronounce the word "no" as "noiy", the Australian way.
Just stop it right now FFS. |

They use the same odd sound in 'go home' as well. It becomes 'goy hoyme'. Very prevalent in the southeast.
I was born on the east side of London, and have lived virtually all my life in and around SE London, Brockley, New Cross, Bermondsey, before hitting the jackpot and fetching up in Rotherhithe. I'm 100% sure that I've never, ever heard something like goy hoyme, I'm having difficulty even saying it, the only "goy" I'm aware of is as a description of a non Jewish person. |

Call centres which only open 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. What if I've got a problem that needs addressing at the weekend. This is 2015, not 1915.
My local council and all their red tape, when dealing with them. Security jobsworths at pubs, just generally being a pain to regular well behaved customers. |

The Australian way?? I've tried again and again to pronounce it as you've spelt it, and the closest I can come is to make it sound like a Northern Ireland accent.
Now I'm truly mystified, I can only assume that you're on the wind-up. I was born on the east side of London, and have lived virtually all my life in and around SE London, Brockley, New Cross, Bermondsey, before hitting the jackpot and fetching up in Rotherhithe. I'm 100% sure that I've never, ever heard something like goy hoyme, I'm having difficulty even saying it, the only "goy" I'm aware of is as a description of a non Jewish person. Changing the subect, I'd just like to have a small rant about shoelaces made of shiny, slippy-slidy material that JUST WON'T STAY TIGHT! I tie the bow just as I have always done, but after a few hundred yards I'm feeling the shoes working loose.

When the same job is advertised by multiple agencies/websites on the Universal Jobmatch website, and those adverts are all listed one after the other. Half the page is then advertising the one nursing vacancy.
