[QUOTE=SuperLoz;52857923]I went out in London last night and what the fuck is with these bathroom attendant people I come out of the cubicle and he's already soaping my hand for me, then running the tap, then getting me a paper towel.. I tell him I have no change so he's wasting his time, and he whips out a FUCKING CARD READER ???? like, fuck off mate I'm not paying for something I've been doing myself since I was two[/QUOTE] that's fucking next gen, i love it

I never buy any of that shit but I always give him any loose change I have and then we shake hands and say bye and I always feel sad since he's like the toilet dimension version of Dobby the Elf.

My neighbours are setting off fireworks and some shitty fire sprinkler things (no idea what they are called) really close to the houses and it's annoying as fuck. Can't even watch the telly because it's so loud. But hey it's that time of the year where every cunt and their dog lets them off, maybe I'm just a grouchy bastard. They are also quite close to a tree, I hope they accidentally set it on fire so they can be humiliated by the fire brigade/police or something.

The windscreen is covered in orange dust, and it looks like there is an impact point right in the center.

There's been less random fireworks popping off here than there usually is besides the main display. I did notice the rozzers were out in force tonight, probably stopping jakey bastards from just setting them off wherever they feel like.

Wanker fireworks. I've got dogs.

It's awful when you have pets and fireworks go off, fuck all you can do for them. Makes me feel so bad.

I went round a mates for fireworks on friday and today is my girls birthday. I was going to take her to the zoo [sp]to see her family ho ho [/sp] but I'd ordered some flowers and they turned up much later than expected, so we just went in to town and ate burritos. [editline]5th November 2017[/editline] And we watched the entirety of American Vandal, it's good

What about having headphones and a lot of work in front of me on a train says "hello, talk to me and try to convince me to drink alcohol?" :v:

it's probably a Chinese spy trying to make you fail your degree and thus decrease the work output of the west

Dont accept man, just keep working. Nothing good will happen.

KFC Double Down? More like KFC Double Bypass.

Oh I told them that I wasn't interested (about 4 times worked) and posted that after they left and I'm home safe now :)

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;52858828]just ring the polis[/QUOTE] My neighbours packed in the fireworks after about half an hour so didn't have to worry in the end. [QUOTE=Clive;52858833]I think you are referring to Catherine Wheels, I have had fireworks fired at my car I think.

[QUOTE=halflife_123;52859659]Probably stupid kids, I wonder if they do that 'challenge 21' thing for fireworks like they do with alcohol.[/QUOTE] In our store we ask for id if they look anything younger than 25. Fireworks are serious business.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;52854388]No idea how I still have a job.[/QUOTE] May have jinx'd things. Git given the "why do you suck at your job according to our arbitrary metrics?" talk.

Went to see the fireworks at Chatsworth. Pretty good stuff. [t]https://i.imgur.com/JAYIXk9.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;52861053]May have jinx'd things. Git given the "why do you suck at your job according to our arbitrary metrics?" talk.[/QUOTE] If you find yourself wondering how you still have a job I don't think the arbitrary metrics are the issue.

[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;52861109]If you find yourself wondering how you still have a job I don't think the arbitrary metrics are the issue.[/QUOTE] I was wondering because they're shown to us and I've been consstantly low. But they also can vary around 20% either way due to factors beyond your control.

[QUOTE=halflife_123;52859659] Probably stupid kids, I wonder if they do that 'challenge 21' thing for fireworks like they do with alcohol.[/QUOTE] I used to work in Morrisons way back when I was at college, you had to be over 25 to buy fireworks, it was great when I'm sat there being 19 and a 24 year old walks up and I can refuse him. "You don't even look old enough to buy them yourself, let alone serve me them." "There is no age to serve them. Now you have fun with just your sparklers."

[QUOTE=The Genie;52861326]Tape the card to the back of my FIST[/QUOTE] Simmer down now. Is the back of your fist, your palm?

[QUOTE=The Genie;52861358]Yeah it wasn't like the terminal wasn't contactless she just made a big stink about me using my contactless phone instead of my contactless card :thinking: Weirdest experience ever[/QUOTE] should beat her up or somethin

Whats next? Tip someone for standing in my way at the bar? Tip someone for getting taxi I wanted to get? Tip someone for spilling a drink on me? Is it some american tradition thing that's finding its way over here, like suing culture?

I can't even go to the toilet when he is watching, it just makes me feel so awkward so I end up not even going and then paying him for nothing. Cheers for that lad.

I just use them to learn phrases from sub Saharan languages [Sp]no Armani, no poonani [/sp] Real talk though I have no issue with tipping them, they're probably on shit pay and people sometimes treat them like shit.

And I bet some people even take a shit in front of them.
