Because if you say no, they'll put it in the microwave rather than toast it.

Microwaved bread? eeyyeewwwwww

Also, if you're on your way home, you might want to toast it yourself. Not as silly as it may sound given that toasted/microwaved is VAT-able. but cold is not.

Mine? People who tell me the screen on the camera I sold them is cracked. No - the screen protector is cracked! I even supplied them with a spare in case that happened.

Contradictory reviews on shopping sites. Can't you people come to some consensus? Reviews in disagreement are worse than no reviews at all.

Facebook ads... but not just Facebook, ads on websites that aren't really "appropriate".

When mechanics completely dismiss what you've told them without even looking at the car, just because you're a woman. Feel quite smug to be right though ;-)

^^ THIS!! Also when you go in and ask something and they talk to you like you are stupid and try and get you to get more done because you are a woman!

I went to the garage the other day to get them to see if I had a puncture ( was 99% sure I did but couldn't see it. The guy looked and said that they couldn't repair it because it was worn on the inside. Fair enough so I asked how much for two new tyres (other side had a puncture as well which wasn't affecting it but might as well get them both changed now. He said £170 for bridgestone fitted, no other option and it had to be today as that was on offer. Hmmm. THEN he went and looked at my rear tyres and said that these are over 5 years old and NEED changing. These are tyres which have good tread, no cracks or damage to them whatsoever and have done 25,000 miles. So he wanted £320 for them all to be changed. Errr. . . No thanks. I went elsewhere, got really good tyres for £103 fitted and treated like someone who knows what they need. Men!
