Until this day 10 years ago I'd have preferred the rain, but on that day our house (and town, incidentally) flooded. Fuck that, obviously.

Heading out to drive and find a wing mirror smashed.... on the offside into the pavement and when it was pushed in as well. There are some knobends who would do this and find it funny. It bloody well ain't. 🤬

Christmas fm is back. Also christmas/ black friday and that mindless commercialism. Noone needs any of the sales things being pushed.

Outside of food, shelter and sanitation no one "needs" anything.

My brother collects whiskey and Tesco have some savage deals on. I play videogames and I bought three games this week for 60 quid that would have cost 140 last week.

Buying shit for the sake of it being cheaper is pointless, but if it's a bit of what you fancy then I don't see a problem.

I tend to completely disregard Black Friday but this year we managed to grab a baby seat for the car at a decent discount so I'm all for it.  Next year I'll resume normal grumpy service.

You can (probably) buy baby clothes in the Black Friday sales too. Babies grow out of them in no time!

Anyway, back to being a grumpy bastard myself - modern hip hop heads that have a face tattooed to look like a school desk circa 1996 with all the doodles and whatnot.

Shopping in Aldi...I normally leave this to the missus for good reason but she wasn't feeling the best this week so I reluctantly agreed to give her a dig out. Pretty standard shopping experience up until the checkout, when I remembered why I hate this place so much. Some impatient Eastern European lad at the till, pretty much fucking the groceries at me at one stage in order to get me to, and he actually said this, "hurry up please". So rather than being able to pack the stuff in any sort of coherent manner, everything was basically fucked in on top of everything else. I spent enough years working in various customer service jobs to know that the customer isn't always right, but fuck me, this is taking the piss.

Thats the price you pay for getting shit so cheap ha

Absolutely hated the weekly shopping, Tesco delivery absolutely changed my life

Lidl and Aldi are ridiculous, nowhere to pack your groceries as they're being scanned. I take my sweet fucking time packing my bags to make sure it's done right and if the lad had told me to hurry up, he'd have been told to fuck off.

...back to his own muck savage country...?
:-X

theres a right way to pack groceries?
i just fuck everything in as fast as i can!

That is the right way.  Veg with detergent.  Hard liquor with baby food.  It's elementary!

Driving home from work, in Friday and Xmas shopping traffic. I was actually grateful for Pantera.
