mottaloo Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 When you let an oncoming driver through & they dont acknowledge your courtesy...even worse, the ones who glare at you as they drive through. Is it too much to ask to raise your hand in appreciation ? Apparently, yes it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2012 Re- driving courtesy. To be honest I've moved past expecting that. Most do show it in fairness and those who don't I can almost predict who they are beforehand. You're right, it's not too much to ask, but in the grand scheme it's not something I get overly worked up about. No, I get much more annoyed by outright negligence and poor driving than by the lack of a kind hand gesture or the courtesy flashing of the hazard lights.

Paddywhack Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I wish vending machines would do something other than crisps, sweets and chocolate. In this day and age, I want things like lasagne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 22, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2012 And why do vending machines always seem to charge way over the odds prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 22, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2012 convenience? You're paying for the food and some company to deliever it to the room you're sitting in.. Can't see the problem.Downstairs in the university foyer there is a shop that sells sweets and pop, etc. About ten feet away from it is a vending machine selling the same stuff at an (at least) 50% markup. The only difference I can see is the fact that the machine is available 24/7, i.e. when the shop is closed. But on the other hand, the shop has to pay staff while it's open. Makes no sense.

The only thing that doesn't make sense here is that your university isn't very good at planning.. Regardless of there being a shop downstairs that's cheaper, the vending company still has to make money, don't they??.. It's not their fault the uni have decided to put one there.

ME Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 There was a good quote from the actress Josie Lawrence on the radio the other day. Apparently a cabbie said to her: "You like like that Catherine Zeta-Jones... only uglier". If you Google them, you can see what he was getting at. But he could perhaps have worded it better. Brilliant. He's right. Very right if you know what I mean. In this particular case I agree more tact could have been used, but on a more general note, I find that cases that lack tact are matched just as often by cases where a tolerant ear was missing when tact has been used. So to bring my post back on topic, I'll say that society's desire to be offended by anything and everything these days is one of my major bugbears. I promise you, I actually try to find good in anything. But on top of the fat remark *whish is fairly common on my mothers side of the family* what followed it once being thinner was noticed?....'Let me get you something to eat' On the plus side in less than 24 hours 3 people were shocked at my age thinking I was much younger. One followed it up with 'Damn I hope I look that good when I'm THAT old'.....WIN!!!!! made the entire day better I tell ya!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
