    Yesssss. Hate that. Very inconsiderate of tv to show us starving children when we're eating dinner.

    Having to spend 24 hours stuck in first class while flying to Australia you'd think for your five grand that they could bring back the Concorde and do the flight quicker.

    I know, I ordered a cappuccino in the Conrad recently and they ONLY had white sugar. So disappointing.

    The electricity has been for over half an hour now. Can't have a shower, managed to get the dishes done. Tried reading a book but all my books are about computer programs, I've read all the magazines. Don't know how long the battery will last on the phone and every time I go to a page on boards it tries to download some ads file but it can't so that's really annoying too.

    When there's no butter in the butter dish & you want to make a sammich & then you take the butter from the fridge but it won't spread right.

    That's worse than having AIDS.
    I had that experience wth peanut butter yesterday - and that's even worse. At least you sometimes expect regular butter to be hard... :( :mad: :-/ ;_; ;-(

    When some new awesomesauce gadget/toy/service you brought starts to slowly break in such a way that its kind of half working and you find your self constantly ringing technical support and convincing them its actually broken and they should replace it. So instead it breaking and getting it replaced in a day or two your spend weeks talking to goons and spiraling into a pit of depression.
