I'm going to GOM about a GOM. What a prick this guy is, so technically a GOP.
This arsehole is whingeing about receiving a statement with a balance due that he had paid. Well dickhead you only receive snail mail and it was printed on the first, you paid it on the third. Guess what? It was in the fucking post because you are living in the last century. We email our bills but specially for you we put a stamp on an envelope. Don't tell me that you are going to bad mouth my business around town because you are an ancient old fuck that hasn't joined this century. Do you you know how time works? Fucking idiot.
I was told that I wasn't allowed to call him and explain how that happened. My staff have no faith in my tolerance levels. No fucking idea why. I was having a good day.

Just written the invite, to "make it up to him". I can have customers for dinner. All part of the service.

Old women in the Supermarket who just stand in the middle of the aisle or door with their trolleys blocking everyone while they check their list/purse/receipt/phone/rape alarm (no, still nothing). Then wonder why people get pissed off.
This resonates with me. In a similar vein, going to Mitre 10 Mega or the supermarket on Tuesdays but forgetting that it's Gold-Card day until you're stuck in the carpark for fifteen minutes waiting to get into a park while someone does a 27 point turn to reverse their Volvo into a park, six deep at the deli while one person asks a million inane questions about the ham, or stuck at the checkout for half an hour while they try to remember their PIN code.
(Yes, I know I'll be old as well one day - I'll probably hate myself for doing the same)

I’m going GOM. I’ve stopped at the supermarket to get some milk and coffee and when I go to the checkout there is a queue snaking all the way around the back of the store of people waiting to get to the checkouts. People have 3 or 4 12 packs of toilet paper. We’re in Napier, not Auckland. People have lost their sense of proportion.

It is a psycological effect. We all see images of fucktards taking loads of toilet paper cos of lockdown. Therefore people have in their subconcious links to toilet paper going out the door (shortages!) and lockdowns. It is a self fulfilling prophecy, the more we take the piss and publicise it, it becomes more common

I knew about the coats but I didn’t realise you ate them.

It only takes one, then everyone else is worried about FOMO.
As we used to say; there's only one thief in the army, everyone else is just trying to get their shit back.

Visit was a mutual decision. Regrettably.

That would be sufficient reason for several glasses of Clos de Beze 82.

Oh yes. Had the Hannibal thing going for a while as well as the clothing. Don't like to be wasteful.

Having just read all of the toilet paper posts, I have a moral dilemma. I have to go to the supermarket and we actually need loo rolls.
So do I buy some (if I can) and look like the fluffybunny who is stockpiling, or do I take the high ground and resort to something more primitive (but appropriate) like The Herald?

Just ask if you can buy a few sheets at a time.

I had the same thoughts when we were in one of our lockdowns. Needed loo paper and felt embarrassed buying some because I didn't want to look like a hoarder. I was even a bit embarrassed about going to the supermarket because I didn't want to look like I was there to panic buy. I obviously think the world revolves around me and what I am doing.

Well, both of us obviously.
