It’s the people coming out of the woodwork that I would detestSamba wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 3:56 pm Come on, own up, which of you was it that won £170m last night?
Needless to say it wasn't me & that irritated me, although I did win £2.90 so that's a profit of 40p..
It's amazing how many really BIG winners couldn't handle it & wish they'd never won it. I suppose it could well turn your life upside down & inside out. An utterly, life changing experience.
Perhaps on condition of receiving the cheque you should be forced to undergo some kind of therapy & advice, to deal with it.

I wouldn't tell a soul. The only way to deal with it i think.BARKING IRON wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 10:41 am It’s the people coming out of the woodwork that I would detest
I'd just move and not tell anyone. Come back now and then. Sorted.

Re: Little things that irritate you
I have a theory that there's a wrong amount to win, and that amount is down to personal circumstance. If you win enough to clear your mortgage and have a bit left over for a new motor, holiday or whatever then great, no one would expect any hand outs, if you win a ridiculously massive amount then again, great, you can easily afford to throw some around. Somewhere between the two lays the wrong amount, an amount that will cause more grief than it's worth........Samba wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 3:56 pm It's amazing how many really BIG winners couldn't handle it & wish they'd never won it.

Re: Little things that irritate you
Had a phone interview with a director at a reputable financial firm, for hopefully my first job in the city.
Initially was contacted by their own recruitment team last week and passed the initial phone part with them,leading to the one today.
She said it was only for 15 mins but wanted to know why I chose them (although they came to me) and what I do now etc. 15mins barely scratched the surface but seemed to do alright.
Just annoyed I didn't get another half hour or so to get proper in to it.

Re: Little things that irritate you
You're on the Met Line Tube at Liverpool St going to Aldgate, it stops and the carriage empties out and a few people start to board. A group of people with no Y chromosomes get on, some stand in the door way while their travel companion is in the carriage staring at the tube map trying to decide not which line the train serves or which station is next, but which way the train is going to travel, east or west. I swear this happens at least once a week, random day trippers who hold the train up while they try and find out how the most simple map ever devised works.
Here's a tip, do that before getting on the train or better still before wandering onto a busy rush hour London tube platform you utter spanners.

The tube & its irritations, could have a thread just for that. Could say the same for roads.
Both are magnificent engineering and well laid out, it's just the amount of people & cars that f*** them up.

Re: Little things that irritate you
I pulled up a a petrol station, driving an SUV and I was unsure whether the hose would reach round so pulled up with the pump on the filler cap side. There was a car at the pump with the driver sat inside, so I assumed that he would drive off soon, plus the pump in front was out of use. I could see him looking at me in his door mirror but no movement. So I got out to politely ask him to move forward "I haven't paid yet" was his response, so I asked again if he could move forward to the pump that was out of use - same response. To be fair from his whole appearance it was obvious that he had a room temperature IQ. When I gave up and walked back towards my car I will admit to muttering to myself "selfish idiot", next thing his door is open threatening to get out with a whole string of swear words. All with his two young kids in the car. I moved to another pump and had filled up before his equally thick looking wife wondered back bearing coffees and a pile of snacks, if you are buying a load of stuff have the courtesy to move off pumps.

Re: Little things that irritate you
Shops or websites selling clothing, that have a sale.
You excitedly have a browse before you quickly realise that everything on there, is only in freakish sizes (mainly XS or 6XL) & that's the only reason why they're in a sale. And they're STILL not much cheaper.
Or on a t-shirt website where you want a closer look at a design so you click on 'enlarge' & a new window opens but the t-shirt is no bigger than what you were looking at before. Or incredulously, even SMALLER than what you were first looking at!
