We've got peanut butter, PB&J, Nutella, spreadable Hershey chocolate, even spreadable Biscoff biscuits, but the only coffee-flavored spreadable anything is also flavored with hazelnuts; something I do not enjoy. No straight up regular coffee, no coffee and regular chocolate, no mochachino, always with the strawberry floating nuts. We don't all like the taste of those nuts.

As someone who doesn't enjoy the taste or texture of nuts, I am irritated a lot by no company catering to me.


Seems like there's a gap in the market for you to jump in.

I know nothing about creating a product, branding it or getting it out there. :(

It's not me, it's the wife. Nothing ever goes right for her, and nobody here has an ounce of compassion for her but me. :(

To be fair, doesnt she work at some like grunt position?

If you want a nice working environment with people who give a gooseberry fool then bottom tier customer service is not the place, especially in the states.

Well, that is probably because you are biased! Also didn't you say she works in Walmart? Aren't they famous for being absolute pricks to employees? If it isn't something physically wrong, I doubt they will give two strawberry floats.

Tesco lorries. Why do they have to go so slowly? Limited to 50mph on motorways, and 40 on single carriageways. Huge pain in the arse.

That would've sufficed. Hate them. Shouldn't be allowed to overtake.

Nearly all lorries are limited to 55mph by law. It's either that or crushing you as they brake too late coming up to a traffic jam.

Oh god. I use the A34 every day, which is only two lanes, and numerous times a painfully slow lorry will decide it's a good idea to attempt an overtake of another painfully slow lorry, blocking everything up. It either takes them 1-2 minutes to do it, or they end up giving up and just moving back to where they were. :fp:

Why do they bother, it's not as if they're going to go speeding off into the distance, is it?! :evil:

Tbf, it would be just as frustrating for them stuck behind some bint going 60kmph on the motorway. However it is annoying seeing them fly about overtaking, the amount of near crashes I have seen due to them not checking their blind spots is insane.

It's also a fuel saving thing. If you have a few lorries in a CONVOY you all take turns being in front.

Whenever you get street pass coins by walking around, and cashing them in gives you puzzle pieces you already have.

So much this. I stopped using them on puzzles in the end. Also you should be able to earn more coins a day.

People that create a thread about a piece of news, and then just put the link and say something like "WTF, :shock: , etc etc"

Is it that hard to copy some of the text from the site?

I'd go further than that, people who create a thread with a link and expect to sit back and watch others give their opinions on the issue at hand - but can't be arsed to form an opinion of their own.

It's like....

What do you think? Or are you just one of those forum-jockeys who only exist to see their post count increase/trying to be 'the one who started a great thread'? It's quite funny on various forums to spot those members with massive postcounts who offer absolutely nothing but filler.

They should do that. I will never finish the puzzles I have, and they keep adding more :x

The single worst thing Sky ever did was switch to Yahoo for their email. I've said this before but they're strawberry floating appalling. From a service that's not working at all to delayed emails...they're a joke.

Genuinely feel like phoning their customer service just so I can call the poor bastard on the other end of the line a banana split.
