dozeydustman Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Come downstairs to see the cat pissing in not the litter box again. She is doing this deliberately as she saw me first then deliberately squatted on the carpet. Different place from yesterday. Do cats actually serve any fucking useful purpose apart from get on my tits and shit all over people gardens? Only farmers need mousers these days.

Kowalski Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Cats only do things like that when they are stressed or territorial. It knows you don't like it and is vying for dominance in its own passive aggressive cat way. It's basically saying "fuck you this is my house" wuvvum and sporty-shite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TataBobu Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Nope! The cat just hates you. I had to throw rugs and chairs because of cat piss, the cat in question was furious with me because of a week-long holyday in which it only had a visit a day from someone.

Some of the cat's other behaviour has been odd over the last few months, so I do think it's the start of Feline dementia/Alzheimer's. Weird behaviour includes rejecting food if me or stepdaughter has put it down (other cat noms it up fine); excessive grooming (regularly brushed and flea treated and no skin issues), a lot of puking (not just hairballs), sleeping all day unless the wife is at home, whom gets harassment and constant miaowing from the moment she gets up until bedtime. She's done it again since this morning, and giving that "I don't give a fuck" look that cats do when they know they're being naughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 To be fair, if you opened a nut free wheat free dairy free cafe, and could guarantee that nothing had an alleged, you'd make a fucking fortune. I tried buying stuff in the shops to treat a nephew and every fucking thing may contain traces of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artdjones Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 They may contain nuts.They probably don't but if the factory uses nuts in anything there's no way to guarantee that they won't have a tiny bit in,and it's almost impossible to check.As the consequences are so serious,most companies have to put the disclaimer on to protect themselves. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Something in my house is beeping every few minutes. I don't know what and I can't find it. It is not the smoke alarms, I've stood under all of them and the beep is definitely somewhere else , plus they're mains wired and there is no fault showing on the panel. (I've stood next to that as well) It's not the oven either. It is driving me up the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous user Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The alarms have all been checked, now checking in case it's a dying phone. I'm slightly deaf and my directional hearing is poor, so whilst I can hear it enough for it to annoy me I can't work out what direction it's from.

Quite sad that a 16 yr old lad died of a nut allergy last weekend after getting a pizza from a local takeaway, I can't think of anything they sell having nuts in as it's just pizza and kebabs ?

wuvvum Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Aside from the questions around personal responsiblity, risk averseness etc - what the hell is going on these days with bloody allergies? It seems that every second person now is allergic to something or other. When I was a kid the concept of somebody dying through eating a tiny bit of peanut was pretty much unheard of.

Mr Wack. I had been eating Chinese food for years and years with no apparent problems. One day I had some Chinese, after half an hour of finishing my meal my face swelled up and I lost my breath. Hospital ensued and I discovered I was allergic to soya through blood tests. Bodies have a tolerance level which in my case had been exceeded. My dad and brother in law were exactly the same with prawns. Anaphylaxis is not fun. The problem is not the allergy but the suing culture that we seem to be developing and the business wants to cover its own arse. AFAIK it's not a legal requirement to ask a customer, however as for some people it is a matter of life of death if they have soya, or peanut, or latex. Allergies aren't 21st century bollocks, people just died before we knew what they were and how they were caused.

reb Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Re "new legislation"; having run a fast food emporium (very poorly, I'll admit) it's often easier to tell your (mentally, at least) 16 year old counter staff that it's the law to do something rather than try and get them to do it by being a good manager. I've not heard of any such legislation, as far as I can tell it's just the foodservice industry collectively losing its shit. SOP for us now is provide all of the information to the customer in the form of a comprehensive allergen information leaflet and leave them to it basically. A particularly fond memory between a young-ish customer back when I was still in charge; "Can I have a Hawaiian* without mushrooms on half because my friend is allergic**" "I'm sorry, it's against our policy to put toppings on a pizza which we have been advised the customer has an allergy to." "But it's only on half!" "Sorry, I can't do that." "So you're discriminating against her because she has an allergy??!!" (i nearly burst out laughing at this) "If you have any concerns about our policies you can contact [customer service number] but unfortunately they will tell you the same as I just have. I can make two smaller pizzas for the same price though, as an apology for the inconvenience." "NO! I WANT TO TALK TO THE MANAGER" (At this point I wanted to walk away and come back, but such childishness gets you complaints) "I'm the duty manager today and our store manager won't be here for the next two weeks. How can I help?" I think she walked out at this point and a different customer came in and ordered the same pizza. Being a jobsworth in situations like that is all that got me through in that store. Well, and towards the end just not giving a flying toss. I walked out of my last shift there (with area manager approval!) when the store manager was over two hours late to take over for the evening shift. I stood outside chain smoking and watching our aforementioned bunch of 16 year olds actually do a pretty good job of running the shop on their own. Alas they all left within a month of my departure but they're all in better jobs now anyway. * Ham, mushroom and pineapple back then, because apparently that's what it means. ** Mushrooms aren't on our list of allergens but we were getting it drummed into us that any stated allergy must be taken seriously even if it's not on our list.

When I have had dinner at veggie or vegan friends they give me quorn not soya protein. Some veggie and vegan food is better tasting than meat based food, it’s just not a full-time diet that suits me in particular.
