What was your first world problem today?

[buzzlightyearsgirlfriend]

I had one in Coles.

The deli server asked who was first (because they NEVER use the **bleep**ING ticket system, am I right?) and I indicated truthfully that the (well-fed) woman to my left  was first.

Stupid me.

Well-fed woman had to taste everything before she asked for it all to be specially sliced for her.  Already sliced turkey breast or ham wasn't good enough for her, no siree! She neeeded THICK slices of everything.

Deli server: "Is this thick enough madam?"

Well-fed woman: "Hmm let me see....."

Oh, and then she insisted that she only have 400 grams and ONLY 400 grams of all the stuff she had tatsed and asked to be specially sliced just for her.  I think she had her lunch at the deli counter...

ARGH!!!

Putting in steel fence between brickwork for neighbour.

Naturally, brickwork had all different size spacing.

Padding out with blocks and of course after screwing in dyna bolts they protrude just enough for the section to not go into place.

Blocks for other section not large enough. Then need to go get longer dyna bolts.

Use the larger masonry bit and the tip breaks. Just bought liquid nails and start to use, it's seperated and useless.

A few more probs but it's done. YAY. If anyone wants a fence done, ask someone else, pleeeese.

Kopenhagen, I don't blame you. Had enough problems with fence shifting when we found that our neighbours fence was two feet on our property.

LOL, and checkout staff yakking with customers is one of my sore spots. I live in a small country town where everybody knows everyone. Young mothers and checkout girls will have great conversations about events for their children or gossiping about other mothers, no matter how long the line of customers behind the counter is.

I have no hesitation to ask with an apology if the private conversation can be continued after the customers have been served.

I'm the cranky old woman the checkout girls look out for now.

@ Erica.

OH opened up a bottle of red soft drink straight out of the shopping bag yesterday.  It must have been shaken around a bit on the way home because it exploded and sprayed big red patches all over our beige carpet, omg.

They came out ok with a bit of scrubbing.
