Afternoon all......
Anything you like... i will start with a little whinge....happened earlier.
Why do people keep walking, whilst texting on their mobile phones, and then collide into innocent passers-by? .....twice today and I really had a pop at this spotty oik with headphones on, who said "Ok, mate...keep your hair on"
You have the floor, fire away and enjoy :-)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Furniture salesmen, yes yogi. We were looking for a new sofa recently. OH sat on a reclining armchair for a rest and started fiddling with the buttons on it while I was looking around the shop. We couldn't get rid of the salesman after that. He was following us around trying to get OH to test every reclining armchair in the place. We didn't even want a reclining armchair. We had to leave.
Regarding people who queue-hop. I am always embarrassed by my dad for just ignoring queues for getting on buses or supermarket checkouts. He just goes straight to the front. No one ever says anything or even tuts, possibly because he's an elderly gentleman (he'd laugh if he knew I was describing him as such), so I just trot on behind him. I don't know how he has the nerve.
Same with my OH. He was in a small queue for a car park payment machine. The woman in front of him had her head down looking for change in her bag. OH promptly got into the the space that had opened up in the queue, she looked up obviously thinking 'You weren't there a second ago', her mouth opened and closed a couple of times, but she didn't say anything. He's so embarrassing - so is my dad - I have to just walk away when I can.
"Furniture salesmen, yes yogi." - That applies to me amongst many things.
Was looking at beds - was trying the bed out - salesman hovered over me every single bed I tried - that was only about 2.
Suites were upstairs so I decided to have a look. Salesman instructed me that there was a lift. Guess what - I get into lift - press for 1st floor and said salesman is waiting outside the lift. He run up the stairs.
