Actually I was searching for 'mattresses' and came across this one. Read the title and figured it was worth a read. Quite a winner.
Talking of mattresses...
WTF!!!!!!
is there some vast conspiracy over mattress sizes? We get people coming in asking for a king size mattress, which they think is smaller than a queen size mattress. We ask for the dimensions, and they tell us it's 150cm x 200cm ....which makes it definately a kingsize, so we ask them how big a queensize is and they get this blank expression on their face. But by several reckonings, there isn't a queen size mattress. it goes Single, small double, double, king, superking....but then you've got Eastern, European, and Asian sizes.
and then you have people who buy mattresses from Ikea, and they come in a whole different range of sizes, just to make my life difficult.....
People should just go back to sleeping on the floor and be done with it.

I needed cheering up so started reading this thread....
Not read it all but did anyone mention that nowadays when you go to the checkout at Tesco/Sainsbury's with three items the checkout person will say..."Do you need help packing?"
The first time I heard it I was heard to utter..."Are you taking the p***?"
The Man with the Silver Spot
Dont blame the shop assistants. Its the cack handed management who are literally forcing them to say it. Under penalty of verbal/written warnings and such for not adhering to company policy.
Wow funny thread =)
Actually that reminds me... I could be dead now. The other day I went out to buy something, and theres a huge roundabout thats so big, and its on such a huge. long, straight road.. that most people just look to see if anyone is coming and then just keep blasting along at full speed. Well I was approaching it, and theres a car coming around, and most people would assume he is just going straight on (so coming the opposite way to me), and he had no indicator.... so I should have assumed the same too. If I did, I would be dead now. And so would he, because I think he was in his 70s or 80s. Something just told me to stop... so I did. And he kept coming around the roundabout right infront of me. Scary stuff. Theres a small roundabout near where I live where the same happens all the time, but that is so small you should just stop anyway.
Have you seen that one that talks about "Soft poo"? I can't really cope with that. Especially when I'm eating.
Those gits are high on my list.

Whistling - Not sure why, well maybe because it annoys me that people feel I want to here them whistle some annoying tune.
Ringtones - I don't understand the fascination with having an annoying song blaring out of a mobile every time it rings!
People playing music out of their mobiles whilst walking down the street or on a train etc (not using headphones)
Hmm can anyone say Bah Humbug

Ooo venting time!
1. Most adverts on the tv, but especially Halifax adverts. I will never ever use Halifax purely because their adverts cause (irrational) apoplectic rage in me.
2. People who walk along narrow pavements at 'tourist speed'. I live in Stratford-upon-Avon, we're plagued by them.
3. Software with no progress bar for processes, especially ones that are critical and hog your system, and that crash the moment you even think about doing anything other than watching the program tick away.
4. People who eat with their mouth open.
5. People who do not turn their phones off in a cinema. Worst offenders are those that have phone conversations whilst in the cinema. There should be an extra-unpleasant level of Hell for these inconsiderate wretches.
Ahh, feel a little better, but there's plenty more where that came from
On your 'to do' list
Just for that I'm going to go looking for really acient and obscure ones....with particular attention paid to spam....people who resurrect really old threads

And then I'm going to PM you about them.
Twice.

Self checkouts in supermarkets. why don't i get extra loyalty points for using them? or indeed a standard percentage discount at the end of my bill. I purposely avoid them
Still going, awesome
The media constantly confusing Type I and Type II diabetes is my main one at the 'mo.
Things that have annoyed me today include; my phone constantly trying to connect to WAP/GPRS when I don't want it to. Women. People who smell very strongly of unwashed BO. The sun being bright when I am inside working. Clouds. Tesco. Women.

Women?
Actually, scratch that and replace "women" with "unreliable people"

You can't expect channel 5 news to know the difference.
Its nice to know you have a designated 'main one' though.
Do you consciously note when the main one changes?
So lets say by 3 weeks from now, you are more annoyed by a traffic warden, would you know exactly when that became your main one?
No, this main one is pretty much set for the rest of my life.
