Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 People who think it is acceptable to take longer than 5 minutes at a busy petrol station.The main annoyances are - ignoring the pay at the pump option to go into the shop and pay by card (whilst not purchasing a single thing from the shop), thinking it's sound to spend 10 minutes browsing the shop and completely ignore the massive queue of seething c***s like me waiting for fuel and the worst of all... getting back into the car after paying and just sitting there finding a tune on their phone/reading receipts/plugging something into a sat nav/whatever else these fuckers do.Just as well it's Friday, the p***ks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to piss me off paying at pump then needing to go in and queue up to get VAT receipt because the pump didn’t print one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye fair enough, I don't tend to need a receipt so that's not something I notice. I'll chalk that one off the list for the receipt requirers out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Supermarket checkouts where the final price isn't shown to you (just on screen facing the cashier), particularly when you're abroad in a non-English speaking country. Additionally, countries where tax is added to the price after they scan it through, making getting rid of the foreign small change that bit more challenging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are displayed before sales tax is applied, for no reason other than to make it seem more appealing, and also with any mail-in rebates applied. So, your new laptop is advertised at $299, but comes with vouchers for you to send off for cheque refunds on your case, anti-virus, Windows, joypad, USB groin warmer, and so on. So, the actual price you'll need to pay at the till could be something like $499, which would be about $540 with an average state sales tax of 8-9%. You get used to doing the mental arithmetic and reading the small print, but seriously, what a fucking pointless arse-ache. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't find a exact reason for this. I do know that some people are entitled to tax exemptions/reductions in Canada. I've been shopping with a friend of mine before how has an Indian Status Card which means he pays 8% rather than 13%. I would give him the stuff I wanted to take to the till then pay him back afterwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of these mail-in rebates, but I get why the local sales taxes are add ons. It's not like here with standard VAT so you'll have products printed with the price USA wide, like books. and the differential local tax will have to be added at the till. Locals won't even have to think about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk look at me open mouthed when I say that but as I say I've never had any bother with it so far. The water is barely warm and is far quicker than de-icer and scraping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reduces some of the anger at the futility of life before heading into work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
