Also have to say, got the distinct impression from all the GPO workers I saw there that any questions about anything were going to be met with a "OH FUCK SAKE" kind of exhalation. They all looked dour and fucked off. Maybe it was the wrong time of day or something.

Post traumatic stress disorder
 
Was in the post office today, the GPO to be exact. Queueing system there is a fucking mess, and of course the 2m distancing makes it a bit less clear, so I queued up, only to have a woman come along and stand a bit over to my right, making her own queue. I wasn't in a rush, so I went fuck it and joined in that instead, behind a guy that had already got in behind her. As that guy gets to the counter, a GPO guy directs some man with his kid to form a new queue for the same counter, standing in the spot I'd been standing in before.
Fuck it, guy has a kid and all, I'm not in a rush, so I just stand and wait. As this new guy gets up to the counter, they open another counter just off to the right of me, and the guy at that counter calls up the woman queueing behind me. He's then bewildered when I start to loudly proclaim "YEAH SURE YOU JUST GO AHEAD THERE THEN, IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE BEEN STANDING HERE 5 MINUTES OR ANYTHING"
this of thing of drives me mad.
once I was in a centra and wasn't sure where to stand so I was waiting there for 3 plus minutes where
I thought the queue would be. two staff they were checking a Lotto ticket for a woman and served no none else in that time.
then when I got called up to the counter someone else someone else walked up from the far side of the aisle which was were the queue was.
you could not see where the queue was from anywhere near the front of the shop where I was.
so the the staff member tried to blame me for skipping the queue when in fact they wasted my time.
I walked out without getting the orange juice I wanted.

in fairness it was the owners fault the queue was in a silly place and the staff were probably sick of having to deal with that.

the next time I went in there over a year later the queue was where it should have been - along by the wall where the checkouts are (visible when you walk in the door) rather than opposite the counter down the second aisle.

I often let people go ahead of me in queues and always get out peoples way as quickly as possible when
at the checkout.
so being blamed for the owners poor planning annoyed me to say the least.

I've a mate in post - he termed 2020 permanent trash christmas because all the online crap from china didnt have barcodes that worked and they had to hand sort mountains of stuff all year, then online rona christmas came, then brexit. They are a bit tired.
 
Yeah, to which I'd say "Aye lads, I don't think there's too many people having a good fuckin time right now"

But yeah the queue thing, sometimes I'd be a lot harsher about that shit and just barge in front of people if they try and skip me. I was in a supermarket once and some dickhead walked right past me and stood in front of me, so instead of saying anything, I waited until the exact moment the cashier was about to finish serving the customer ahead, then just barged right around him and stuck my shit down in front of him, hahaha, it was class, dickhead couldn't even say a word
 
Paid the tax bill today. 10 days late, I have to pay interest on that, but I don't get fined. They've decided to forego fining people considering all-the-things.

If you remember I moaned earlier that it was way more than I was expecting. After some chat with the accountant he was able to half the bill. I bottled it and said "No, that's too little, it'll raise suspicion", so we met halfway.

So I guess it's less than what my accountant initially thought I should pay (good), but more than I expected (bad). It was late because of the rigmarole with the accountant (bad), but I didn't have to pay the £100 fine (good). It was late because I had to tell my accountant how to do his thing (bad), and I had to pay him to do it (bad). So on the whole, bad.

I may have to go back to doing it myself in future.

I've been making Simpsons references since the mid to late 90s seasons. That period covers every single aspect of humanity.

Incessantly referencing a tv show from almost 30 years ago.

The kids these days just don't understand.
