[Rules p.1] Things that annoy you guys. 100 percent. Not gonna lie

I moved house today and had to go to homebase to pick up a pipe end cap for the washing machine waste pipe as the one we had wasn't working for some reason. As i was browsing the pipe section in a slightly frazzled, time-is-of-the-essence kind of way some utter melter behind me over the lower aisle divider started going "hey, mate, hey, hey, mate" which i eventually worked out was me, turned around and he asked if there was some sort of tool/equipment up the aisle i was looking at. I just told that i didn't know, i don't work here. Come and have a look like any normal person would, you nob. If i hadn't been a) frazzled and hurried and b) had been asked in a politer way i might have been inclined to help. Not today though.

Hey complete stranger who I don't know from Adam, I know you're busy. You might be feeling stressed or might have other stuff to do than wait around in a shop all day. But forget all that. Help me find this tool I need! Ya nob.

Bloody China.

China just don't give a strawberry float

That's properly strawberry floated up.

The fact that everyone just seems to go along with it as well - oh yeah, this is fine. :dread:

If animals don’t want to be used as keychains, then why did they decide to live in a keychain?

After 2 years of being in this flat, I finally decided to strip the horrid bright yellow wallpaper out of the kitchen. I'm already regretting this for 2 reasons.

1, As I've gone round the only socket I have in there with the scraper, a load of plaster has come off the wall with the paper, meaning I have even more work to do in there.

2, I keep finding holes in the walls that need filling in. There's a circular 3cm hole by the sink that was covered up as well as another hole that was filled with loose plaster that's all fallen on the floor.

My kitchen is tiny, (around 3meters by 4meters) I was hoping it was going to be a quick job. I've only stripped 2 walls so far and already it looks like it's going to take a while longer than I thought. I dread to think what's behind the rest of the paper.

There's a reason the phrase "paper over the cracks" exists...

Those keychains... ugh. I feel a little bit ill just watching that vid.

The Real Ghostbusters know how to deal with such things.

Booking my car in for a service, I use the handy online booking system and manage to get a slot for next Saturday. The service was really easy to use and very convenient.

*10 minutes later my phone rings*

"Hi it's the garage calling about the service you've booked. Unfortunately the online booking system doesn't actually have access to our service diaries so doesn't know when particular dealerships are available. The next free Saturday is 5 weeks away, sorry."

Why do I get the feeling you've booked in with the dealership group I work for?

Hint - use the manufacturer's website to book your service. We have a Service Level Agreement with those, so you can get booked quicker.

That is utterly strawberry floated up.

strawberry float China and the people who buy that kind of thing.

Okay, so after travelling for 4 hours to get to Brighton (including an hour long diversion after finding the M27 at Southampton is shut for roadworks), I ended up stuck for ages behind a bloody protest march somewhere near the city centre.

I don't care how worthy their cause was, nor do i care what it was, pulling this crap on the hottest day of the year when i want to get to the pier should result in capital punishment for all involved!

Oh and the locking of the c-bomb thread is also annoying as i was gonna post how much i like banana splits, along with a lovely picture of one.

At least you didn't go by train. They've apparently been breaking down all day and the delays have been terrible according to a friend of mine. A 20 minute journey took them almost 2 hours.

That’s what happens when you don’t have regulation and rules like we have. Give it a few years after brexit and that gooseberry fool will be here and being bought by strawberry floating morons.

I’m pretty sure China has a few rules.

Adobe XD.

I'm starting to do more and more GUI design as part of my expanding job role, and I thought I'd give Adobe XD a try today.

First impressions are that it's wonderfully simple, and so fast to get a functional good looking prototype up and running :wub:

Until you want to do buttons.

This piece of software created for the sole purpose of creating beautiful and simple GUIs apparently doesn't do rollovers or any other state for a button AT ALL. You have to take rollovers by having a mouse over load up ANOTHER BLOODY ARTBOARD with everything in the same place but the button looks different, to fake it actually changing.

strawberry float me :fp:

Everything about airports and air travel just seems designed to piss you off, or treat you like a harried cattle who exists solely to have your wallet drained because you're a captive audience.
