    Seen it happen on a train from Glasgow to London
    Guy was sitting at a table so 4 seats.
    This muppet gets on and sits opposite him even though plenty of seats available.
    * puts his smelly feet on the table.
    Could smell them where i sat.
    First guy says get your * stinking feet off the table and get your * shoes back on.
    Stinky * says Or what.
    First guy leaned over and punched him in the mouth and says That's what will happen.
    Stinky * got off the train.
    Dont know if he got back on another carriage but never saw him again.

    Getting double booked on flights.
    If an airline double books a seat and passenger isn’t allowed on then I believe the airline owners should be charged with fraud.

    Fraud would be a criminal charge, it would be a system error so criminal charges couldn't be brought unless they confirmed someone knew and did nothing to change it. At best it would be civil law. It's * and you'd think systems these days should be past errors like this.

    The boy: Aye, mine is to start "enjoying in the moment".

    You should be able to load your shopping trolley in such a way that nothing at the bottom gets squashed, and the supermarket floor is smooth so there's no bumps etc. when you get to the till and start bagging your purchases then the grapes and tomatos will be last out the trolley and therefore sitting at the top of the bags you're taking them home in. Either walking, loading into the car, or traveling on a bus, this is when your shopping gets the roughest ride and its in a carrier bag rather than a solid trolley, so it's more likely to be damaged.........thanks to the foresight of the supermarket, your fruit and veg is at the top.

    ............the 4-pack of yogurt you got has been squashed and burst at the bottom of the bag though. :dancing:

    Usually not a fan of violence but if you’re going to be a complete * to people in public be prepared to feel a consequence for it. It blows my mind how some people think they can act the same in public as they do in the house.

    Some people should just be banned from using public transport

    Lolz..... I've never worked in a shop / retail industry/ service industry in my puff, and I've never given the positioning of grapes/tomatoes in a shop a seconds though until I read that other guys post...... But I thought (and don't know if it's just coincidence) hmmmm, the fruit and veg is just inside the door at our supermarket to (in France) and got to thinking about his complaint........ within a couple of seconds I came up with my (totally made up on the spot) reason lol. It's probably got nothing to do with the explanation I gave, but IF it's a "thing" in all supermarkets then you can bet your bottom dollar they've got a good reason for it...... but I haven't got a clue what it is other than the * I made up. :50:

    * like that wouldn't act like that in their house, they act that way because they think people that don't know them will be scared. Their family know what a * they are

    It's kept at the front so you will put that fresh goodness in an empty trolley and maybe take a bit more because it's empty. Then you will be psychologically more tempted to put expensive sweet * in your trolley.

    I just don't get why people put a ton of stuff in a trolley, queue at a checkout, unload it onto a belt, bag it up then put the bags back in the trolley. Self scan, straight from the shelf into the bags, pay at a machine & out the door. Same for pay at pump for fuel. Also saves talking to some poor * who has been told to ask about your day

    Those poor * would be out of a job if we all chose the selfservice option. Take your time, enjoy your shopping, talk to people...

    * who smell out public places with their dope. Not everyone wants to partake in your garbage and it’s even worse when it’s right at a hospital main entrance. Inconsiderate *.
