Xmas time/shopping

[Mom]

Don't know about anyone else around here but, today we decided to go and get the trusty shopping done.............. I don't think I have ever seen so many miserable looking, unhappy people, the upside down smiles and grumpy friggin attitudes blew me away........ shit people life is too short to not enjoy

May as well turn this into a Happy Christmas thread, as it is that time of year.

Happy Christmas Guys!!!

May you and yours have a safe and wonderful time over the holiday season, hopefully you will get a break from the daily grind, at least for a few days.....and a wish for all of us.........please may the weather be good so we can enjoy being out there on the roads...take care every one

yeh, no kiddin...so many shitty customers at work too. had 3 today i would happily have slapped upside the head. worst i remember was a woman on a scooter nearly bit my head off when i asked her to move the scoot up so the car behind could get in. stupid cow.
no way would i be able to walk into a shop and rip someone to shreds cos I was having a bad day.
another guy put in $30 petrol, and then couldnt pay. was really shitty when we took his details. far out...not like were gonna say "youve got $30 of our petrol in your can and cant pay for it. dont worry, we dont need your details or anything. your free to go with no reason to come back and pay" dunno how people can live with themselves not being able to pay for a product...pak n save wouldnt allow it...why should we? i always have $10 in my account for gas, or else cash/voucher in the topbox, just in case.

you know I have always thought that people that react in a stroppy way to anything usually have personal problems, the kind that requires them to (unintentionally in most cases) to snap at us, makes them feel better/worse too I am picking........anyhow thanks for pumping gas for those of us that have forgotten how to be polite.......

Nice one. Did you know to open your red (wine) for at least half an hour before you sip and if you throw away the top and leave the rest till another day it tastes BETTER. So I've been told. "Come home Johnny" FYC.
Seriously, you need to know these things. AND the mouldy cheese tastes sooo much better if left out for an hour before you munch as well. Nice blue from Geraldine is presently being tested and Yummmm. Have a nice and not too merry one. CB

I am just a heathen. I help it along with a quick blast in the microwave. It can improve a mediocre red no end.

What is there NOT to smile about, when in the mauls doing the x-mas shopping???
1: Ride past the queue of traffic trying to get into the carpark.
2: Ignore baton-waving traffic director moron.
3: Ride through the pedestrian bollards and park right next to the doors (in a nice cunning spot I have discovered).
4: Go inside and happily shop with a big smile because I'm parked right outside and the cagers can all get fu*ked!

Bliss!

[Disco Dan]

...still havent done my shopping yet...

[mstriumph]

i've seen the same miserable expressions on punters at casinos ............ personally can't imagine why people queue up and hand over their $$ to be made unhappy - it takes all sorts i suppose, but i ain't one of them

yes DEFinately, Mom, a VERY happy and safe festive season to all our Readers and a prosperous 2007

............. a little nice riding weather would be, as you say, a bonus!!

Me I love shopping, and having just got up and looked out the window it looks like nothing better to do here today either - damn I'm getting sick of El Nino.

[et al]

Why do people get so stressed out about Xmas shopping and leave it until the "last minute"? We have all had 12 months notice FFS !

[Colapop]

I've done all my shopping in my head. I know exactly what I'm getting everyone and where I'm getting it from. All I have to do is get into the shops, grab them, pay for them and I'm gone! Even getting a new tyre for my bike!
