Notes and change
Please, please, please will you hand me the change before the note rather than dumping the coins on the paper in my hand. If you don't do this for me, one day I will go postal.

The people who put the change on the counter, ignoring my open palm, are the ones who annoy me. I guess cleaning up after a wank might help.

I'm not sure why it matters?
Dumping change from a note into your pocket/purse/wallet isn't any harder than doing it from your hand, is it?

But it is. It really is.
And, also: "Irrational".

Yes, sorry, as you were...

Hahahahah
YES!

Particularly the miserable fucker at the WHSmith in Fenchurch Street who lays my Fanta on its side so it rolls around and gets shaken up then dumps my change on the note so I have to arse about stopping my drink hitting the floor and rescuing the note to go back in my wallet and the change into my pocket.

I assumed I was the only one who found that annoying.

You are. I fucking love it when they make my fucking Fanta fucking roll. I really fucking do.

That is actually part of the induction training at Wetherspoons...
... new employess are shown to do it through an instructional video and will get marked down on it if a Mystery Shopper comes in and they witness staff not giving coins and then note on top!

I'd rather they teach the pricks how to fill a pint.

Wetherspoons train their monkeys?
Lazy fuckers can't be bothered to clear tables in the gash (Weeping Ash, St Neots) - and don't get me started on how long it takes to get served in the first place...

You'll be sorry
when the gust of wind that makes your face stick like that also takes your notes with it.

I'm glad you posted this
Saves me having to do it
I dont think I have much in the way of 'Irrational Hatred' but getting a £5 note put into my hand with coins and receipt on top does slightly irritate me so.
The coins slip all over the place and you have to clench your hand shut to keep it all in your sweaty grasp.

Irrational Annoyance of course may feature in later posts

Worse still...
... is note on the bottom, coins on top and then receipt over that!

What can you do from there? You can't tip the coins out without the receipt floating away. Your only options are to stuff the whole lot into a pocket and deal with the carnage later or to put down everything you are holding and sort it all out.

Buggers.

That's the thing...
I can only glare balefully at the 'assistant'. Glare balefully and slowly dissect my change; thrusting coins into coin pocket; notes into wallet and receipt hurled back at their stupid, unthinking faces. It takes time, so it does; time I'm ill-equipped to donate to them.
