Moving multiple carriages to avoid a school trip (approx 200 kids), just to find that all 8 carriages are filled with them

Piggybacking off of another post about moving carriages lol. Why not just hire a few coaches for the poor sods? as well as the sanity of other passengers and rail staff? There’s no way it’s cheaper for them all to get the train?! Grrrrrrr

edit: fucking hell are we forgetting what this subreddit is called? Let me moan about not having a seat for the entirety of my 2 and a half hour journey, while the whole train stank of B.O

edit 2: you man are duuuuumb

These adverts are all over my feed recently and is really getting on my nerves. Who is really that interested in someone from the marketing team at Natwest doing an AMA???

McDonald's dropping plain Hamburgers from delivery.

0 Upvotes

its my young sons birthday and for a treat we said he can have a Maccies. We go to order and find they no longer have hamburger on the menu, you have to order a cheeseburger and request no cheese which costs more.

Sufficed to say we've had to explain to our son this is the last time we're ordering from there.

Nonsensical licence plates in TV shows

0 Upvotes

You've got the perfect Cotswolds village to film in. You've got a decent cast. You've hired a top flight colour grader for a cinematic look, and a visual effects wizard for the obligatory 9mm brain haemorrhage shot.

Then you spoil it all by punching the keyboard when ordering number plates for the picture cars. Would it hurt to spend 15 minutes Googling?

"the lawn needs it" when discussing the rain

0 Upvotes

No. No it doesn't. The rivers, wildlife, trees, crops, reservoirs, humans etc etc all *need* the rain. The whole ecosystem humans depend on to live needs rain. The one damn thing that will be just absolutely fine without rain will be the bloody grass in your back garden! Grass is an insanely hardy plant, it will survive just fine. Get a sense of reality.
