SPAM random annoying things

I like Aldi (and Lidl), you get what you pay for

And their baked stuff is excellent

Their cold meats, cheeses and cupboard shit is excellent.

Im not insecure about my palate. It suits me well. I like what i like. Guess you are a food snob

Yup. I only buy decent stuff.

The best frozen pizzas you can buy are from Aldi.

Also, in terms of shop-bought quality, £4 (reduced from £5) is actually quite a lot.

If you think about it, you probably pay double of that in a restaurant.

Aldi pizzas are actually pretty good. I like Aldi. After years of not going there (because they wouldn't take credit cards), I found out that now they do. I like their bread, they do some sugary dried mango that I love, shortbread fingers, the dark chocolate selection is amazing (not as good as Lidl though), meats and cheeses are all ok, they do some lovely salmon fishcake things with a green filling that are great. The only thing I don't like is all the housewives who get in my bloody way. Oh and their energy drinks are shite.

I take at least 5 of the iced coffee when I go camping. 50p each and better than the starbucks crap. You can pick up some great gadgets in there too, depending what the deals are. Got a very good merino wool mid layer from there the other week, £20.

Entering a Lidl or an Aldi in Denmark is like going back to East Germany circa 1965

 

[Ormorof]

Except all the shelves are full

Not being allowed to tell people in the workplace that they are a waste of skin and really ought to be working at Subway but would probably constantly put the wrong filling in anyway.

I'll rant about this later.

We've shopped there a few times, and it is cheap good stuff, but the selection is a bit pants in places. Any time we've gone there, we've always had to pop into Tesco for stuff we couldn't find (normally crisps and fizzy drinks).

Lidl do an awesome German lager however - and Aldi is always a good laugh walking down the non-food section. Pretty sure there was a heavy duty circular saw in there last time we went.

Toilets with the lights on automatic timers. Trying to find the bog roll in total darkness isn't my idea of fun.

Spent an entire day debugging a problem only to discover the bug was in windows 7 only and we dont care about windows 7 anymore

 

[fettoken]

Going into a public WC to begin with, then discovering the lighting in there is neon blue (apparently to deter druggers from drugging by preventing them to find a vein to inject into) which is funky, initially, but extremely offputting.

Agreed, we have it, completely ruins a good old Angry Birds session.

Come on. Been looking forward to it all day.

Fucking canal fishermen...they use those stupid long poles so they can fish the other side from where they are sitting..were kayaking down the canal and we came across 50 of them, everyone curses you because they have to pull up and lose the 2hr stake out they are doing.
Then its..go this side..the next guy shouts go the other side.
Got talking to a couple in a canal boat, they say they get the same and just put full power on and head for the rods.
They spoil the canal for everyone..they curse at cyclists because the stupid poles cover the cycle path as well as the whole canal.
Theyre only there to get away from the missus.

When 8 people base their plans around one person, who then pulls out anyway.

Away this weekend with friends, initially planned for next weekend but changed to this weekend to suit someone who has to ask permission from his wife to do anything. He has now had to pull out because his wife has decided she is working Friday/Saturday and he has to look after his spawn.

Just not going to bother asking him next time. I will just tell him we are away X weekend, come if he wants.

 

[Scouse]

Tell him what you've told us.

It pisses me off massively when that happens.

I tend to find its always the same person in the group as well.

Fake recruitment consultants on LinkedIn; message you to get a contact number and then nothing. Within a day you start getting spam phone calls - some pension outfit for expats.

Yes, I should investigate every connection request thoroughly, but sometimes you're in a hurry (I was on the way to the airport).

So now I'm playing whack-a-mole with telesales idiots

 

[Scouse]

Another reason I'm not on it

 

[Raven]

I binned it because its shit. Everything people say on there is nonsense. Reciprocal bigging up.

Just like everyone on facebook presents a fake image of their lives, people present a fake image of their work experience and ability.

To be fair its more useful that not. This is irritating, not deal breaking.

The big difference is that faking your work experience is difficult if anyone from where you worked previously is on there, and most people are. If you were out and out bullshitting you'd get found out pretty quickly.

Its useful for recruitment, and sometimes as a start point for research. That's it.

I wouldn't go near it with a barge pole.

When you perfectly execute a superb meme in the group chat, but no one gets it and now they all think you're weird
