So im here to pick up my parcel. Why are you arguing with me about things not being ready yet. Its not the end of the day yet? OK my mistake I came out a bit too early. The lady who normally works here normally has my parcel ready by the end of the day. but ok... you tell me its not the end of the day yet so I say i'll come back later...
Almost 3hours later before the end of the day (for you) I come back and you give me the same bullshit about "Im sorry but it says you need to come back tomorrow on the card" Well. Im here now? Can you not at do your job and have a look for me instead of sending me away FOR A SECOND TIME after telling me to come back later?
I ask you politely to have a look for me as the lady I normally speak to around that time would quickly nip around the back and have my parcel ready for me to collect in a matter of seconds.... So i politely ask if you would save me the hassle of me having to wait till the following tuesday to pick up my parcel as im working the next 3 days and you dont open sundays, you dont even move an inch or even attempt to look at my card with all the details on it. you still refuse to do your job, so I refused to leave till you have a look around the back and see if my parcel is ready to collect...
(she disappears around the back and comes back with my parcel in hand in less then a minute)
Now that wasnt too difficult now was it? All i wanted you to do was have a look around the back and see if it was ready for collection but if its not then its not and im fine with that. My problem is that you didnt even bother to check...
abysmal customer service.

Annoying!
I was once at a cafe mid-audax ride, and I was in a bit of a hurry to get moving again so I just ordered a piece of chocolate cake and a can of Coke.
I paid the young woman at the till and waited for her to hand me the Coke from the fridge behind her, and the cake which was already cut and there in the display cabinet in front of her.
She told me to take a seat and a waitress would bring my order to me. I politely suggested that she just handed it to me there and then. She declined ...
I glared at her and repeated my request - "Please hand me that can of Coke and that piece of cake NOW!" It took her less than 5 seconds to do it. Less time than writing the order on her notepad would have.
As I was walking away I heard a stroppy voice say "Everybody else has to wait, what is so special about YOU!"

Speaking of Americans, I was once asked on board by one yank lady, "Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the reception desk?"
I replied, "Yes, just go down the second set of stairs along here"
Her, " Are they like marked stairs one and stairs two?"
Me, "No it will just be the second set you come to"
I replied, "Yes, just go down the second set of stairs along here"
Her, " Are they like marked stairs one and stairs two?"
Me, "No it will just be the second set you come to"
That was far more helpful than telling her to wait by the first set a and the second would be along shortly.Speaking of Americans, I was once asked on board by one yank lady, "Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the reception desk?"

Friend got to the front of the queue in the supermarket with his elderly mother. "Have a nice day," says the girl. "I'm sorry, dear?" asks his mother. "I said have a nice day - are you deaf?"I like the fact that however infirm, old or whatever you are, you have no choice but to stand, there are no toilets and you can't get water

Take your foot off the brake! I'd like to be able to see when the cadets come out!
I reckon Volkswagen have a whole building dedicated to developing eye-piercing brake light colours.

I realise you've sent a crew to the depths of Kent to report in the "snowpocalypse" that you've been frantically building up to all week, but your reporter is looking increasingly ridiculous trying make an inch of snow on a verge (with grass poking through) and a bit of ice on a pavement look like the end of times - it's winter for goodness sake!

Please do not make the mistake of thinking that I really care anymore. I am just being polite. I am no longer interested in the tedious, boring, repetitive details of your life.
Perhaps that is my problem, too polite to tell people what I really think.

Ha ha. Yesterday, Channel 4 sent their weatherman Liam Dutton to stand outside some nice building in St Albans to do his forecast. He reported that it might not have been snowing there and then, but he had actually witnessed 'some snow' earlier. Oh, and it was cold standing there!
