All real men have wallets crammed to breaking point with ancient receipts, train tickets, bank statements and expired membership cards:

Here in Norway it's like this in every grocery store and supermarket. Other stores (clothes, electronics, etc) bag your items for you though.

When I was in England (albeit 10-ish years ago) you had to bag your own groceries. I remember being really caught off guard when I did my first food shop, when the cashier scanned everything, I paid for it... and was just standing there waiting for her to pack them. Then she just started with the next customer, and I was suddenly in the way :haha: Dunno if it's still the same over there now.
Most places now ask you if you want help with your bagging.

Clearly you are clumsy. I have never once dropped a coin after it has been placed on top of a pound note, and I've used US dollar bills so I know there's no great difference.
The very simple solution is not to try and put the money straight back in your wallet. I just shove the whole handful of cash straight in my back pocket. My wallet is long gone. Back pockets house money perfectly, and you can retrieve that money more rapidly from a back pocket than from your wallet. The change only goes back in my wallet when the shopping is done or when I've sat down somewhere and have my hands free.
I admit that I'm clumsy :p
If you do that, you scrunch up the bill horribly though. And win you attempt to pull it out, often a bunch of coins come flying out as well, ruining the whole point.

aye, but it's easier to do it yourself. Some cram too much into one bag, others throw stuff like washing powder in with fresh fruit & bread.

here you have to bag your own groceries but it depends sometimes some people -disabled- people will do it.
It takes actually longer than if u was doing it yourself but it makes work the disabled people so it's okay!
and @ theresa: i think the worse thing is when some s steal the laundry when people are away and this JUST to annoy people....
this never happened to me fortunately, but i know some people who got their clothes stolen
:( :mad:

Ok, so I live in an apartment building and we have a shared laundry room for the entire building. Anyway, so I was doing laundry (specifcally my unmentionables), and I am really good with timing when they are going to be done so I can move them into the dryer.
Anyway, so I got side-tracked with homework and missed the finishing time by maybe 5, max 10 minutes. I go down, and some took my clothes out of the washing machine and threw them into a dryer.
This bugged me for multiple reasons. 1. Clothes (especially my unmentionables) have the tendency of sticking to the top of the machine (front facing washers), which I have to pull off. I am now unsure if I got all of my laundry. 2. Some creepo touched my thongs and bras, and I really don't like that. 3. Clothes ALWAYS drop onto the floor between washer to dryer, and yes, I am OCD when it comes to that , and I like to make sure I flap it out really well. 4. I think it's just plain ing rude. Don't touch my with your grubby hands. I have allergies to pets, and I have no idea whether you've been touching pets, or some other dirty ass thing. Get your gross ass hands off my clean clothes.
I was fuming when I came down and saw this and wanted to just find the bugger and yell at him. Wait your ing turn, or don't wait until 10 o'clock on a Sunday night to do your laundry such that it is so ing urgent you have to be a prick.
To me, touching my thongs/bras etc. is an invasion of my privacy; just like I wouldn't like someone going into my underwear drawer.
Anyway, is anyone else like this?
Also, what other things that you would think are just common courtesy things do other people do that bug you?
/rant
Has it ever occurred to you that it is you who might be the prick here? Should the person in need of using the washer wait indefinitely for you to get up from your almighty ass and decide it is time to go and check on your clothes? Does he not have the right to go do his laundry at any ing time he wishes?

I used to use this beautiful piece of magnetic simplicity until I lost it.
where did you buy that? krypton doesn't want a wallet but i'd like to give him one of these since he keeps all this cards in a rubber hand and then all this money bills are crumpled inside his pocket like origami.
