RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE (1 Viewer)

I listen to a podcast called Quorators where they go through some of the more deranged corners of Quora, it's very funny.
 
Sale notices that say things like “Up to 70% Off”. Of course you’d not expect everything to be 70% off, but when ONE ITEM is 70% off and the rest just discount maybe 15%, surely that should be classed as false advertising.

Also being a frequent theatre-goer, third party ticket sites like Ticketmaster saying “EXCLUSIVE PRICES FROM £XX” when that price is just the regular rate from the direct seller without the additional fees… so, not exclusive then.

Similarly the supermarket scam, where they place products in the buy 1 take 1 free packaging and tags but if you go to look for the price of the single product it costs half the price of the promo.
 
People who go on A Place In The Sun who have absolutely no intention of buying somewhere and are just going for the free holiday.
 
People who purposely WHISPER when chatting in an office. You know I wasn’t even vaguely listening to your conversation before, but when you decide to be loud and then suddenly take it down to a low whisper, now it seems like you’re being sly and secretive. If it’s confidential, just take it to a private room.
 
Going to cinema screenings with audience Q&As.

I went to see Infamous last night at the Garden Cinema. I honestly would have gone if it was just a regular screening as it’s not widely distributed and I hadn’t seen it since it first came out 17 years ago. It’s a wonderful film and even better than I remember it.

Toby Jones was there to do an interview and Q&A. He was very gracious and lovely, but the interview was all that was needed. 99% of the time, the “audience Q&A” is totally unnecessary as the only people who ever put their hand up are just attention seeking idiots who want to ramble and talk to someone famous, rather than actually having any kind of question. There have only every been a small handful of exceptions ever.
 
Fucking ZERO WASTE SUPERMARKETS

Just unimaginably bleak and un-chic for all involved. Filling up their little bottles of shampoo. Pathetic.

WRONG. It's good for the planet.

I refill everything when I can ... laundry liquid, fabric conditioner, washing up liquid etc.
 
Oh Nance I know it's good for the planet, but what a miserable way to live. I'll sooner let the world burn than lug bags of empties up the high street every time I need some new PRODUCTS
 
I mean no other planet in the universe has produced as much evil as the Earth, so it gets my nominee.

I’m amazed Toby Jones was gracious and lovely as I saw him at a Michael Haneke Q&A and he (a) was totally up himself and (b) acted like he was the star of the film WHICH HE WASN’T. I hate Q&As for the same reason and now tend to avoid them

Really? I met him in a pub years ago when we were all there watching a Wimbledon match. He was quite nice then too. David Walliams on the other hand was NOT.
 
I seem to recall someone posting here the emails and texts you get asking for feedback now after any sort of service. It seems to be getting worse.

Why do amazon want feedback whenever I use the local amazon locker? You left a parcel in a locker and I picked it up. What else is there to say about it? How good or bad could it be?

And last week I went into Santander to use one of their machines to pay some cash in, and now I've had an email and texts asking me how likely I'm going to recommend banking with them to other people. And now a reminder because I ignored the email and texts initially.

LEAVE ME ALONE
 
Hi, we recently asked for your feedback on a call you made, on a scale of 1 to 5 how would you rate the feedback giving experience?

Laughing at the idea of PUMPKIN CHEADLE etc sending these sorts of emails to people after their visits.
 
I had a restaurant asking me to tap my phone on a card to leave them a review the other day. It didn't work, which I'm glad about because I was THROWING IT BACK UP a few hours later.
