Is it just me, or are there some people who put all of their brainpower aside when speaking purely because they love to complain?

An example, this morning, I went shopping at Aldi with a lot of stuff in the trolley, and they only had one till on. One of the girls opened another till, and I went straight into the empty queue thinking that the people in the other queue were in no rush and only had a few items. But this one mouthy old bag wanted her say (despite not even being in the queue) and tried to ruffle past us and get in front. Through sheer force of complaining, the girl on the till let her, where she continued to mouth off before running home to catch the second part of Jeremy Kyle.

This stuff seems to happen at airports all the time, where people exist solely to complain and not anything else. Why do they do it?! Do they not realise they look like utter twats?

Very true, I just don't get this mentality. I've always found being nice gets you better results.

I was buying some food from a takeaway last week when someone came storming up to the counter shouting "this is the worst food I have ever eaten" at the top of his voice. As he'd barged in front of me, I couldn't help but say "it looks alright to me". Good on the girl behind the counter though - she took it off him, chucked it away, and made no offer of a refund.

BTW: I'm pleased that the title of this thread has appeared, unedited, on the TVF homepage.

Does this mean we should try and keep it as the "latest topic" as much as possible?

Definitely.

Totally.

A little fuck never hurt...

*snort* I seem to be in high spirits today if terse gay flippancies are making me giggle.

This thread seems apt to ask whether anyone else experienced a whole day of everyone they met being in a terrible mood? I've never had anything like it. The highlight of the day was watching a stand up argument in the office which came to a head with the classic line, "Nigel, why are you such a dick?"

Well I for one would like a thread dedicated to the <noscript> tag. It would be a very interesting tag to discuss.

Shush now cdd, adults are talking.

Never had it, seems one day I just might do but I too think "Nigel, why are you such a dick?" is a brilliant one-liner. That will not be forgotten quickly in your office.

Along those lines - a recent sexual health campaign in schools in our area was entitled "Don't be a dick" so for weeks afterwards we'd just walk round and as you pass someone just say "Don't be a dick". Yes it WAS as hilarious as it sounds.

That's why I don't work there any more.
