I like to put sausages and brown sauce in it. Or chips. Or eggs and bacon.

They have some bread here in Germany that is perfectly cuboid and lasts about 2 weeks. Scary stuff, but it fits perfectly in the toaster.

Originally posted by thunderlizard View PostBread is softer when it's fresher. I'm not quite that bad, but I do still instinctively give the loaf a bit of a sneaky squeeze while I'm putting it in the basket just to make sure it's not completely rock hard (it never is).
I am ashamed to admit that to liven up my day I used to go to great lengths to annoy the revolting Morrisons customers.
I would ensure loaves of bread went through first, followed by an aggressive volley of tins - regardless of the order it was packed onto the belt.
I once charged a woman £1 for an unlabelled large orange as I couldn't be arsed working out how much it should be.
I was put on the "cash only" till for what would ultimately turn out to be my last shift. Two young blokes came through with loads of lager, then tried to pay by card. I refused to accept the card, and made one of them run out to the cashpoint before I'd serve him, holding the queue up by about 10 mins.
I was reprimanded for not using the card machine I did actually have access to, then sacked for my 'attitude', as when asked - 'do you WANt this job?'by the manager, my response was a snort.
