General / Off-Topic First World Problems...

[Arry]

Got another!

A new Wimpy opened up in my town a few weeks ago.
I haven't been to, or even seen a Wimpy in over a decade.
So I fancied taking a look, but my girlfriend is at work, and doesn't eat most of what's on the menu anyway.
So I ventured off in to town alone. (I have no friends... Lol).

I get to Wimpy, and just as I'm about to walk in I notice a sign;
"Please Wait To Be Seated"

I couldn't think of anything more awkward than asking for a table for one, so I went to Burger King instead.

Wimpy in 2018 still remains a mystery.

We have a Wimpy where I live, it has been here for decades.

I look at Wimpy as more of a cafe, or like a greasy spoon and I don't have any issue with going in alone. If I were you, I would go in first for breakfast. Nothing wrong with a single guy, doing that, they go into cafes alone all of the time.

My "other half" wants me this morning to change the cartridge and O-ring seal in the mixer tap in the second bathroom; it's leaking again.

Out come the tools and then off to the hardware store to buy a new cartridge.

Welcome to Saturday.

Perhaps this thread could have been called "Real World^TM Problems"..... but fixing a tap is not really a problem.

I should change a toilet cartridge today but I think I'm going to run this beach and go for a swim instead.

Not exactly a hard decision there.

I still have to decide on lunch afterwards!

Why ?

You do not like tinkering ?

Haha, it's all playing in water too, right?

The worst part is I used to do some plumbing as a side job, and I can swap an entire toilet in under an hour.
I could have swapped that cartridge in the time I've wasted posting here this morning!



The coffee I'm sipping is delicious though...

Your life seems to be a hell

Your life seems to be a hell

yeah, i'm struggling every single day...... however joke aside, I live in an area with many poor people and high crime, and you just see how unfair the system is.
Now I'm NOT promoting socialism, it's more like creating opportunities for people to make a living. Too many super rich people (billionaires) are accumulating land and companies, they want to keep their gardeners and maids and it leaves no room for the little guy to go beyond that.

I use my kids as cheap labor instead [yesnod]

So, Im a fairly big guy...6 ft 5 inches tall with a slim athletic figure...I still stay fit and active despite being disabled. Anyway, my issue is that I gotta go to specialist shops to get clothes as the usual high street places dont cater fer guys my size...unless I wanna wear trousers that make me look like a 70s Star Trek extra.

Only now Im barred from the one and only shop of this type in the whole country after telling the camp fitter that if he smiled once more when measuring my inside leg, I was gonna break his arm.

Now I gotta drive the whole way to Dublin fer clothes or use the internet which I hate cos I prefer to try it on before parting with cash.

Rest of ye dwarves and pygmies have no idea how easy ye have it ^

I would just opt for dressing like a 70's Star Trek extra. Kind of a cool vibe.
