westbow Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Went into a bog cubicle once really bursting on a joabey. To my horror someone had shaved off their, ahem, hair all over the seat.. It was a deep mass of ginger pube like hairs, As I was desperate I cleaned it up. Plus I wouldn't fancy having to prove it wasn't me. Begs quite a few questions. The most obvious - was it premeditated? bring a shaver to a coffee house bog? Why?????? I dunno, maybe they just bought a new one and were desperate to give it a run out.

@VladMagic Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sweets in wrappers. In particular Chewits although im sure there are others where the following happens. First just want to point out that I don't eat many sweets. An occasional chocolate bar with lunch and I am partial to a packet of Chewits. Blackcurrant flavor. What does my head in is the amount of effort required to get one sweet out the bloody wrapper!! You get your nail under one side of the join, pull it back to expose the other side of the join the try and separate the wrapper from the sweet. What happens now is the wrapper tears leaving a slither of wrapper attached to the sweet. SO leave it then start on the other bit of the wrapper and the same thin happens. It tears leaving a perfect slim slither of wrapper still attached to the bloody sweet. You then have to get your fingers under that bit and attempt to peel it off or what generally happens is you eat the sweet with wrapper still attached. ANNOYING!!!! SEEEEEEEEETHE!!!!!

Honestly who cares about seeing you at the train station, the local pub, by the turnstile etc. The pages themselves are actually good and informative but it's this kind of person who ruins it Others are those who do stupid tutorials about how to make perfect drinks etc (the Mrs also follows some for make up tips) and they are so unbelievably wanky and up themselves it makes me seethe 'hi guys, me again, another video I know but I simply HAVE to show you guys' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute arsehole behaviour indeed. I've worked in a petrol station before and I've heard all the wannabe-hardman/comedian lines. The ironic thing is, the more polite you are to them, the more they see you as vulnerable and just start laying it on even more. There's my seethe, arsehole customers who have a go at staff for no reason, knowing they can't say anything back, and when they do, the customer cries for a manager.

cuthy2k Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 When a neighbour parks in 'your' space. They have 'their' space, you have 'yours'. Society functions as normal. Then one day they decide to get another vehicle (their third!) and dump it outside your gaff for days on end, never moving it meaning you have to park somewhere else on the street. And may I add, being conscious of other neighbours and not parking in 'their' space to try to keep harmony. In the end, I thought f it, parked in another neighbours space instead of parking down the street and told them to take their seethe to the guy who has taken 'my' space.

People getting arsey over parking spaces on a public Street would be my seethe. Went to watch a youth football match a few months back. Parked in a street a couple of minutes walk away from the ground. Loads of space in the street, I picked a spot at random. Came back and some arsehole was sitting on his doorstep waiting as I had parked in 'his space'. Ridiculous enough but there was actually a whole load of spaces directly in front of the bumper of my car and this guy had chosen to park in an adjacent street as if to emphasise the inconvenience I had caused him. He was a total prick and tried to act the hard man in front of his young daughter. I pointed out his stupidity and informed him that he was an arsehole before laughing my way into my car at how pathetic he was. Weirdo.

iantjambo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The up selling is an absolutely legitimate seethe providing you don't take your anger at it out on the poor shop assistant. I know for a fact that WH Smith staff actually have it written into their job description/contract that they offer these products with every sale and face disciplinary action if they don't do it. I can tell you through experience that the sales assistants absolutely despise having to do it as while the customer might only have to say "no" once or twice a day, they have to go through the same thing hundreds or maybe thousands of times a day.

Most people are having their Christmas party next week so hopefully town won't be full of bellends and I can just enjoy myself.
