Clearly a nutter, he didn't think of the consequences...shame he'll be single again.....
Working in Wrekenton today, I decided to nip to the Co-Op before I started, bloody took 5 minutes to get served. Queue was 10 people long when I left too.

Yeah, in my experience, the Co-Op aren't exactly quick to open up tills if there's more than a few people waiting. Some I've been in, such as Haydon Bridge, have self-service tills. Shame such a set-up wasn't extended to more shops.

When I was in the one at Crook yesterday, only one till was open, and the worker was taking his time, the person in front of me was clearly a friend of his, and this was evidenced by the ''banter'' between the two of them. By the time I was served, a queue of about five others had formed behind me.

This also seems to be a common occurrence. However, most Co-Op's are local shops and employ local people from the local community (sometimes in the League of Gentlemen sense too!). Local banter between customer and sales-assistant is almost inevitable.

Could be worse, somewhere recently I got stuck behind someone who when they were placing their items on the till and went to go and get something else. Not the first time that's happened and it won't be the last.
The place that is really grinding my gears at times right now is the Poundland in Eldon Square, always get stuck their for a while and they always seem to be out of fizzy drinks, about the only thing of that sort they had the other day was Tango Apple. A woman got quite cross with me in there the other day as I went to where all the bottled drinks where only to find there was nothing I wanted in their so because I was in a bit of a rush especially as the queue was growing larger by the second I was dashing to grab three cans and she was not amused by this, she wasn't even anywhere even close to me at the time!
I was going to grab a can of Pepsi or whatever in Savers in the Gate at Durham yesterday as I only wanted one drink so I ended up buying two 500ml bottles in Poundland because I wasn't waiting in the long queue in Savers.
Worst queuing incident recently was in JD Sports at the Metrocentre on Black Friday where I'm convinced that the woman behind me was trying to jump ahead of me in the queue but I wouldn't allow that, in the end I ended up spreading my legs out like I was a flaming starfish and also had to stop myself from confronting her as she smashed herself into the bag with my camera in about four times!
Worst examples of customer service I ever received included someone saying "sorry, I went to the retard school" to me, a person with autism, the morons in the Carphone Warehouse in Darlington Town Centre and two members of staff in BANK at Sunderland, where they talked between each other instead of serving me, after about three minutes or so, I walked out!
Earlier this morning a very good friend of my mam died, I don't like seeing her so upset

Take it as a sign - your telly knows you need some sleep!
Sleep deprivation slowly kills you.... Seriously.
Service 5A, 12 minutes late. FFS!
Go too long without enough sleep and you end up looking like me.

He probably has longer hair than me then
Just had mine cut off again.
I did actually embarrass myself by telling littl'un "move out of the way so this gentleman can pass with his trolley" yesterday. It wasn't a gentleman.
I feel most daft for making that mistake because it's been done to me many times.

Thought you had a free pass.
Really really pissed off with myself.
Today I have felt lower than I have in a long long time, so much so that I didn't attend sixth form today.
My door subsequently received some more damage as well, probably not the best thing to release my anger in to....

Drop me a message if you need to.
I've had it with my school, I'm being accused by RE teacher of losing my book when she knows she has it, fair enough I left my History book in the House this morning. Then there's the MFL department in school who want to ring my parents as I'm not putting enough effort into my work.
