Pet Peeves

[The Heretic]

When it's justified I've no issue with it, but let's say calling some person a cunt just cause they are a bit slow parking is just letting myself down, ironically making a cunt out of myself.

Some synchronicity just threw this into my transom:

Timothy Jay, a scholar in the science of swearing, has a few choice words about why we curse and how to cut back (if you want to).

Interesting. I read an article a long time ago, pre-social media proliferation, which suggested that people who swore regularly were generally more honest, that they thought and filtered less before the words left their mouth. It was a direct channel between heart and mouth, they spoke with an emotional purity, so to speak.

Sounds like fucking bollocks to me

Ah go fuck yourself

People who start to unload their shopping onto the belt behind you while you are still unloading yours.

Nah, yer man threw it up himself behind me with about half my trolley to unload

I'm not sure what the etiquette is but I always wait for the person ahead to put the divider up before loading, if they finish loading and haven't put the divider up I mutther to myself "stupid cunt" (see my earlier peeve) then lean over to grab the divider myself and slam it down

[Giggles]

Yeah that's a fucking headwreck, I was only thinking about this the other day.

Another que related peeve is people still standing 2 meters away like social distancing is still a thing, so you're left waiting on the cunts ahead of you to take 2 steps forward with a box of shopping in your arms.

And don't get me started on wans who wait until the cashier asks them for money, before deciding that it's a good time to open their handbag and root through it looking for a means to pay!

That paying thing with the auld ones fries me. They put up he bag, unzip it, unzip another compartment and produce the little purse and unzip that to hand out the money and then the whole process in reverse, slow as you like.

Then again, maybe they feel they haven't much time left or are terribly lonely and want to squeeze every last moment of human interaction out of what's left of their lives before they shuffle off their mortal coil. They might be going home to four walls and silence.

I actually feel like a cunt now thinking about it

Maybe you should escort them home to unzip their purse?

[astfgyl]

No, I meant that I feel like I'm being a cunt. Should have worded that one better!

[Eoin McLove]

And I'm saying you should escort the old ladies home and help them unzip their purse 

I feel we could really milk this and go back and forth for quite a while if we really wanted to.
