    FUCKOFF FRIDAY: “Boxing Day Sales” are meaningless when they start before Boxing Day. I’ve seen several big-name stores saying BOXING DAY SALES NOW ON… it’s not Boxing Day. Same thing happened with “Black Friday” sales.

    I know it’s kind of petty of me to be annoyed by this but if they’re going to keep starting their ‘X-Day’ sales earlier and earlier to try and get a jump on getting customers before their competitors rather than actually competing on price, just scrap the concept entirely or call it a ‘season’ sale or something.

      I wasn’t brave enough to buy this for anyone in my family, but I’d get this for you Bull if you came to Christmas:

        I wish I could use that at work.

        Guess they’ll have to settle on the look in my face.

          It’s 15MB? Oh dear - pictrs is meant to sanitise these images before presenting them to Lemmy. That might need looking into.

          It was in Thingz, a store that’s common in Perth but not in Melbourne. If you must have it, I can buy it and post it. I can’t see it getting to you by Monday, though. 😔

            I like the idea of owning one but I actually have a full cupboard of cups, so I don’t really need it. Yes, I talk myself out of impulsive purchases a lot ! Thankyou though, that’s very kind of you to offer.

      Yeah that can fuck right off. As can Xmas screensavers that make noise. If you aren’t in the room no need to torture everybody else! (Yes, this is an old one)
