Penisbutter?

Self service was cool in the beginning when we techy types could breeze through on account of our 100% familiarity with touchscreens and stuff, while all the regular humans sought the assistance of the checkout staff out of fear of these machinations. Eventually, one of their kind plucked up the courage to enter our realm and, Lo! For she didst use the machine with success and she was happy and returned to her husband who then layeth with her for the night as a reward.

Fast-forward to now, and every tom dick and henrietta knows how to work the blasted machines, and most of the time I find it's quicker to visit the manned checkouts than go through the palaver of the self-service machines.

I stopped using them after attempting to buy 12 bottles of cider, 4 red bull and various allergy pills/painkillers.

Place was packed and had 1 guy stressed running around helping people...

EVERY item had a "AGE RESTRICTED WAIT FOR APPROVAL" and needed his code...why cant it just ask at the end one time??
Also why is aspirin and red bull age rated??

After getting through most of it I just got so annoyed I left the lot and walked out.

Aspirin isn't age rated. But there's a law that says a normal customer can't buy more than two packs in any one transaction as that won't be enough to kill you if you took them all. (And suicide by Aspirin is a really bad idea, it's one of the more painful ways to go).

[nakamura]

So annoying when you cannot buy things like Paracetamol, Ibubrofen, Lemsip, Calpol etc in one shop. They can clearly see it is a family shop as there are three of us there, father, mother and child!

Penisbutter?

I have decided I don't want to know any more details.

Aspirin and paracetemol are both awful ways to attempt suicide. Incredibly unreliable and very painful.

What's worse, you could do it, be in hospital, seem to survive it, gain a newfound joy for life then a few hours later BAM, sudden liver failure.

Very painful way to die and if you survive, it's hard to fully recover.

You're missing out on a huge part of life if you've never seen penisbutter before. Your own, that is.

[abigsmurf]

echeques from Paypal.

Just had my item bought from someone in the netherlands using an echeque. These things take 10 sodding days to clear!

Not only that, they're largely used by scammers too.

Two weeks ago in Florence. First day of honeymoon. Bound out the hotel, full of beans and ready to explore. Five minutes out the door and a pigeon ****s all down my neck/back. Proper big bird poo too. Thought someone had chucked water at me or something. Had a white top on to boot. Rasclart.

...full of beans and ready to explore.

It was your honeymoon so I'm not surprised

Back to the subject matter, it's never fun to be pooped on by a bird. I swear they aim for your once you have cleaned it too just to make some superior point about how they can do it.

[EvilBoris]

I've never been bird pooped

[Dogg Thang]

Wow, what a coincidence - I too was crapped on in Florence. I wonder if it was the same bird? I have been bird-pooped at least four times. Poxy birds.

[Rossco]

I've never been bird pooped

It'll happen in the next week now that you've said that!
