people Breaking The Stalks Off Broccoli Before They Weigh It Always Annoys Me, I Think It’s Incredibly Stingy. As Yet I Have Not Confronted Anyone On This Issue.
Or else they have little to lose by putting the tickets up for sale before they actually get them? Or else they will never have the tickets, but they are happy to try to scam you out of your money anyway.I don't mind missing out on tickets if everythings fair to everybody, but there is nothing more infuriating than sitting at your PC at exactly 9am to try to get tickets, for you to be unsuccessful. As I say, this is acceptable, but when you see the SAME tickets for sale on auction sites THE NIGHT BEFORE it really just tells you that ticketing is one big scam.
These sellers obviously know that they are guaranteed tickets. So how do they get them?

Then when she gets the milk, she stands in a daze at the till until (surprise, surprise) the cashier asks for money, and then she starts looking for her purse or wallet.- Supermarket queues where the woman in front of me (trust me it is invariably a woman) dashes back into the shop just as she is about to pay for her groceries to collect the milk / bread / coffee she forgot (Note to shoppers - make a list before you leave the house)

- New rule at supermarkets - if a person in front of you in the queue runs off to buy something else while the cashier is mid-way through checking out, the cashier cancels the entire transaction and then you and everyone else in the queue can obtain bonus loyalty club points by throwing the rest of her groceries at her across the shop.

When I'm paying by credit card it irks me more than it should that the person on the register always asks me to type in the PIN a second or two before the display on the key pad says to type it in. After their request I'm left poised over the machine waiting to type it in. I suspect there's some bad programming behind this and they're seeing the PIN request before me.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletterRight - I've read this thread and have decided I'm going to run for Taoiseach. Here's a few of my pre-election promises: -

- Employ a new squad of traffic cops in unmarked cars. Once they catch you breaking even a minor rule of the road, your car gets confiscated on the spot and you can collect it the following day on production of a €500 fine.
- Plain clothes manners police. If you are caught offending against common manners in any of the ways described above, they have the legal right to punch you in the face.

- If a sales assistant or barman ignores you for more than three seconds when you're standing right in front of them at a counter, it will be permissible for you to drag them over the counter to your side, render them unconscious by your preferred means and then hop over the counter and serve yourself.

I had another today who after ringing the bell opened my sliding door and stepped into my porch, when I opened the hall door she was in my face and launched into their latest promotion. I politely told her I am not interested thank you, this was totally ignored, the pitch continued, again I politely said I am not interested thank you, again the pitch continued, this time I enquired politely what part of I am not interested thank you are you having difficulty with? At this point she asked did I not want to save money, I said no, she thanked me and left.
