a fuss over nothing

[joggerjayne]

Have you got any examples of fusses over nothing?

For example ...

In filling stations, you can't use a mobile phone, and the attendant switches off your pump if he sees you doing it.

Okay ...

Number of petrol station fires caused by mobile phones ... 0

So, what about people wearing man made fabrics ... static zappppp !!!

Or people getting a shock from touching their car doors ... ker zappp !!!

The mobile phones thing ... it's a fuss over nothing !!!

Got any more ... ???

joggerjayne, I admire you greatly. You are articulate and decent.

Fuss over nothing is having 11 items in my basket in the 10 items or less queue in Marks & Spencers.

Charisse ... what a lovely thing to say. Thank you.

And a very good example from you of a "fuss over nothing".

[joggerjayne]

Ooh, Charisse, I forgot to say ...

Have you done the M&S bag thing? It's funny (in a silly way).

When you check out, if you ask for a bag, the checkout person has to say ... "Carrier bags are 5p"

So you give them a �1 and say "Okay, I'll take twenty"

I know, I know .... it's silly and peurile, but it always makes me (and people queueing behind me) laugh.

Withdrew several thousand pounds from the building society using just my building society book.
Bank lady informed me that I needed a new book as the old one was full.
Fine, ok. Give me a new book then...
Bank lady says she can't give me a new book without I.D.

This is less than 5 minutes after she's handed over a few grand of my savings!! Hello??


No planes have ever come down from people switching on their mobiles mid-flight either.
