Why is it so hard to buy simple things these days?
Needed some bandages, the type that is just a roll of bandage you wrap around and then cut to length. Really simple, basic stuff that has done it's job well for centuries.
Could I find it in Sainsbury's? Could I fuck. Even plasters were relegated to the very bottom shelf and mostly out of stock. Oh you can have a compression bandage for any limb and 45 types of arse cream but a simple bandage? Go fuck yourself.
Went to a local pharmacy. Same story, multiple fancy bandages at a few quid a pop but nothing basic.
I asked eventually and the staff member routed around a box under the counter and produced what I needed, 50p, finally. So I asked for some tape to secure it, get fucked again.
I was raging in Sainsburys as well, fucking mouth breathers everywhere. I stormed out in the end, could have nutted the Sue Ryder woman who tried to shanghai me into a direct debit.
Yeah should have done that but I can drive to Sainos whereas Boots means a walk, or a drive, pay to park and then walk half way back.
I just thought a big supermarket might have had simple bandages.
I even checked the little instore Argos to see if I could get a First Aid kit. I could get a kids toy First Aid kit or a novelty "Guitar First Aid kit".
Imagine my rage!
I’m amazed you found one for 50p. I’ve had to replenish my first aid kit a few times in the last few years, when I’ve been dressing my dog’s various injuries, and the local chemist charges a ridiculous amount for basic dressings, tapes and bandages.
I use those stretchy bandages that stick to themselves for the dog. Bloody hard to find at the local pet shops and I ended up having to order a bulk pack on Amazon. Want me to send you one Liv? I’ve got way too many.
Looks like I’m probably not able to go home this Christmas as my boss wants to keep the shop open extra hours. So him getting even richer than he already is is more important than any of us seeing our families (I’m not the only one affected by this as the majority of staff are English). Fucking capitalism
I went to Japan once, four years ago, and I still get emails from Booking.com about 'amazing last minute deals for Tokyo hotels!'. If it was anywhere realistically do-able at short notice, fine, but m8 I'm not jumping on a long haul flight to the far east for 50% off and an inclusive spa experience.
Agreed Davy. I have a family whatsapp group and a certain uncle thinks he's hilarious. Sadly so does everyone else, his wife especially. She finds everything he posts so hilarious she uses the wee crying with laughter face that's tipped on its side. You know, to show just how extra hilarious she finds him.
Obviously solo cryface emoticons have had their time in the sun. Five in a row still denotes actually really really funny though Especially if one or two are a bit wonky.
I'm awaiting an operation to repair the damage a different op did and have received a letter today stating I had a TTG for 25/1/20. This is the TREATMENT TIME GUARANTEE and the letter was sent to inform me of this particular date. "However, the waiting time for each specialty is different and some patients may have to wait for more than 12 weeks.". My GP says it'll be 6 months.
