When you get on to a bus with a £20 note and the driver says he cant take you as he's no change...Not my problem...get some....

To be fair it would be common sense to carry change if you are getting the bus, experience has taught me that the drivers can be ignorant yaps who take hissey fits if you produce anything bigger than a fiver...

Anyway,

I have a huge gripe of late with people who having tried the door of the bathroom to find it locked then proceed to enquire who it is occupied by (even worse when they ask what you're doing). When I am on the throne I require and would expect a certain degree of solitude, a man is at his most vulnerable with his trunks around his ankles and I feel it rude to be intruded upon or interrupted at such a time. When the handle turns there is for a split second a feeling of panic, and instinctive mistrust of the lock overcomes the user. I mean the fact the door is locked means that the person can't get in, but what does it matter to them who is actually on the other side? What exactly do they expect to gain by identifying the user of the lavatory and their actions inside? Why can't they just assume the occupier wants some peace and leave it at that without an interrogation. This has happened me twice in the last week or so.

Its none of their fecking business why you are in there and whom is in here just tell them your shagging their mum in their if they ask serves them right.

That's something that I've always wondered about. Anytime I've been going to England, everyone says "Make sure you get Bank of England notes" but I can never be arsed and take whatever I have, usually a mixture of BOI, Northern, First Trust etc. I've never had a problem.

Is it a big problem?
I've one in the wallet since I came back from Christmas holidays and I can't get f**king rid of it! I just get dumb looks "sorry we can't take that"
"why not"
"it's irish"
"it's sterling"
"we can't take irish money"
"but it's sterling"
"we can't take..."
"oh f**king forget it! give us back our country!"

It just depends on whether you get an intelligent person at a checkout or not, so far I havent!
Couldnt believe the self service checkout wont take it though, how does it know?!!!
How hard is it though? They'll take bank of scotland notes! 


Know an Irish boy who was over though with bank of ireland notes and they refused to take it of him in some shop so he just picked up his things and went to walk out the door with them running after him "excuse me, you've to pay for that" to which he replied "I was paying for it and you wouldnt take it" - they took it then! Dont think I'll have the balls to do that.

A large majority of bus drivers are ignorant pricks though.

True, a bus driver in London tried to throw me off. Said I was a fire hazard. Feckin' jerk. Thankfully the good people of London on the bus fought my case for me and ensure I stayed on the bus.
