Rants and annoyances

Doing my last shift in this petrol station, already started in my new one but had this one left to do.

So came in, started putting some of our delivery away and every so often I’d hear some shouting but… the area the site is in, I just assumed it was people outside.

Eventually I’m at the till and a woman in a wheelchair comes to the till, complaining that she’d been shouting for help for 45 minutes because there was no toilet roll, says she’ll be filing a complaint, buys her stuff and leaves.

I tell the manager who asks me to just go and check the toilet - it’s not a public toilet but because she’s in a wheelchair, the manager just let her use it.

The smell that hit me as soon as I got to the other end of the shop, she wasn’t doing the toilet I can say that much. Came back up, told the manager about the smell and what I think it is so she asks me to just go down and give it a clean, emptying the bin and sitting nearly on top of used paper towels, some burnt tin foil.

The woman had been in our toilet using heroin. So good luck with that complaint hun. The best part is, she mentioned she’d not long been in the service station I now work in not realising I’m the supervisor there so… this will be fun, two separate companies now know what you’re using the toilets for.

Either the person walking right ahead of you as you leave a store - and they just stop right outside the door, entirely blocking your way, to repack their bags/check their phone.

Or the person who, while you're walking along, steps out of a doorway/intersection without looking and stops there, blocking your trajectory.

OR people in shopping centres who walk REALLY slow but don't walk in a straight line so you can't even get past them as they're swerving everywhere. Usually couples holding hands or large groups of mums with prams that also just stop in the middle of the walkway to have a chat. Let me past I've not got all day!

Me: Is that a bus or a van?
Inner me: Maybe it's a minibus?
Inner inner me: Is a minibus still a bus?

Read a conspiracy theory that these are to help programme AI cars or something.. I sure hope not because I’m terrible at them

Does the tip of the tree in that one square still count as choosing a tree or…?

Walking to a counter to order some food, a family is also approaching, see me, and up their pace to get there first - then stand there for several minutes in front of me deciding and debating what they want, what the kid can or cannot have.

Even the cashier looked like he wanted to kick their faces in by the time they made up their minds, paid, and then changed half the order.

“Sassy” Cigs in a group being complete assholes as a joke and then doubling down when you’re telling them the commented wasn’t appreciated. Even worse when they’re Middle Aged, Grow up.

Bought a CD off Amazon that claimed to have the auto rip feature. I have not received my mp3 copy yet. I hate when this happens. I could have just bought an mp3 copy outright.

Whenever I’ve gone to a Coffee shop and seen someone deciding what toastie / panini they want from the fridge, I’ve always assumed they weren’t in the queue or ready to order, judging by the amount of times I’ve asked “are you in the queue” and they’ve said no, so I’ve just gone ahead and ordered my coffee, never an issue, until today when the woman on the till pointed at the family browsing the fridge 5 metres away and said very loudly “they were here before you, you need to get to the back of the queue”, I was completely embarrassed by this, I just wanted to leave.

Speaking of coffee shops, another annoyance: people with overly-complicated coffee orders. I just want to grab a quick coffee before work and then I've got someone in front of me taking all the time in the world with an order like "can I get a quarter strength cappucino with oat milk and have the temperature of the milk at 80 degrees, and can I get half a pump of caramel syrup and some chocolate sprinkles on top of that too" (yes this is an order I've heard quite recently). A minor annoyance but still, and who the hell orders quarter strength coffee anyway I'm usually getting an extra shot!
