M&S's 5p bag policy.
I don't mind paying 5p for a bag but they currently have the policy of not even asking if you'd like to pay 5p and attempting to put your weekly shop into a free bag that will barely cater for a sandwich.

For me, white font with no black outline is much worse.
That makes my eyes bleed when I watch foreign-language films, especially when subtitles appear over white clothes.
I'm still annoyed over one French film that had a doctor revealing a crucial piece of information. How the hell did the distributor expect us to read white subtitles when the doctor was in a white coat in a white room?
The Internet wasn't around back then, so I had to wait for a reissue with new subtitles, which didn't happen for roughly 15 years. Stupid distributor.

This same women asked how did a guy get to the perimeter of the beer garden to talk to a another woman in the street. All you had to do is walk around the side of some metal bars (it's difficult to explain the exact set-up in the beer garden) to get close to the person you wanted to talk to through another metal bar barrier. So, to talk to a person in the street from the beer garden through the metal bar barrier, all you had to do is walk around some other metal barred area by a tree.
The woman had the IQ of an amoeba, plus loud laughing, tattooed and I hate to say this pretty ugly looking to boot. Zero boxes ticked on the fanciable front.
I like intelligent women, at least having an IQ over 100 and be reasonably good looking, not some load mouthy thick cow, like the woman above.

Will it be third time lucky. It's like talking to a brick wall. Hello (said very loudly), I'm here.
Sometimes on DS, I think I'm just wasting my time.
Look at the posts below. Did I even get an acknowledgement, let alone a thank you. No.

I'll give it a go.
Thanks jra for posting that, I like it.
Thanks jra, but those tracks don't appeal to me.
Thanks jra.
I had a poster on DS contact me about techno/trance music by PM asking me for information. I replied with helpful information and didn't even get a reply back.
Why are people so rude these days, when you are trying to help them out.
Manners cost nothing. A few pleases and thankyous go a long way.

It's the same idiots who post in Comments section of Daily Mail articles on shows such as Big Brother/Only Way is Essex etc, saying 'is this rubbish still on, must be brain dead to watch it'. Well, you must surely be equally 'brain dead' to click on an article about something you don't like and waste your time comment on it! If I've no interest in a particular subject/person, I don't bother to read about it/them.
Another massive pet hate of mine is people who say, either in writing or - worse still - verbally 'simples'. I will hold in contempt anyone who uses this 'phrase' from the second they utter it until the end of their days!

I am a huge trance and techno / EDM fan. Just a subtle hint there, and I will definitely acknowledge any info you can give me on these genres.

I'll do by PM, as it's off topic.
Mums who say their children have got a 'play-date'.
Where, in the name of arse, did this crap spring from? It annoys the hell out of me when prissy women on TV smugly announce their child is going on a play-date.

Even worse is when I overheard a 3 year old at a birthday party asking, "Mumma, can you arrange a play date with Eliza?" I laughed. Organic aspirational middle class parenting no doubt.
The cash machine I used this morning which found it more important to ask people if they want to check their balance (it gives you this choice FOUR TIMES before you can tell it how much you want to withdraw) than to say that it has no tenners (which it only told me AFTER I told it I wanted to withdraw £10).

BiB I bet you didn't really hate to say it, did you? You quite liked it, didn't you? Admit it.
You shouldn't have booted her, though.
Seriously, the lower their IQ the louder they talk, I find.

Yes! My local cash machine has recently changed to this modus operandi. It is infuriating! Just get on with giving me the money, moron!
(I love your location, btw).

It was tempting. I won't deny that. But she was in a group of four, two blokes two women, so I just rolled my eyes.

Of course.
Just in this instance.

I guess you had to be there.
Anyway, you would (hopefully) agree with what I said above.
Judging by your posting history you and her wouldn't get on, as in chalk and cheese.
As in you are pretty intelligent, whereas this woman not so much.

Bigotry is such a two sided sword. There are those who do it, and those who are horrified by it and wish to say as such.
The other side of bigotry against one 'side', is bigotry.

But it's not a phrase, it's a word.
