    People turning off the heating in work (fair enough, it's not cold) but by doing so, switching of the hot water also leaving us with no hot water for hand washing or washing up our cups at tea time,etc. It's simple, turn off the radiators put keep the water heating function switched on.

    Sorry i keep doing that. Will remember next time:)

    ....or you mistakenly assume that the burger bun is pre-cut, with the result that you rip off a big chunk of it

    This made me laugh, so I suppose it shouldn't be here. I was in a long queue in my local shop last night. I reached the top, and while waiting, I stepped forward for a second to pick up a packet of mints. When I went to step back, the guy who was behind me in the queue had stepped forward into 'my' place. The whole queue had moved, like dominoes. :D
    The guy just looked at me impassively when I went to step back. He wasn't for moving once he got to that magic place at the top of the queue. :pac:

    I was reading in the living-room last night with the television on in the background, sound down. Some English medical thing was on, "Embarrassing Bodies" or somesuch. At one point I looked up at it and a gynecologist was examining a young lady. Rather than leaving discretion be the better part of valour, as 'twere, we are treated to a close-up shot at "Periscope Depth", practically gazing up at the patient's tonsils and at the daylight beyond. Cheeses. What happened a stethoscope and "breathe in"?? What if Great-Aunt Dagmar had been in the room?? :eek:

    Blood tests, fasting ones at that. I've got to have some this morning as my last ones were a bit high apparently. Am blooming starving.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Annoyance number 2. Not taking personal responsibility. There was a couple on Sky news this morning complaining about him having been discharged from hospital while high on morphine. Now it didn't help that the guy was unshaved and had his big gut sticking out under a t-shirt, it just looked slovenly.

    Long story short, he was admitted to hospital twice, she didn't go with him on either occassion. The second time he was admitted by ambulance at midnight and she 'took the phone to bed' with her. Now call me old fashioned, but if my husband were take to hospital I'd be there with him, not sound asleep in bed. He wandered off out of the hospital after being discharged and they're complaining that the hospital shouldn't have let him go. No doubt they'll be trying to sue the hospital soon:rolleyes:

    Grown adults that are into one direction. One such idiot I work with who is 25, has posters of them at her desk and is going to the gigs.

    Creeps me out.

    Having to chase sales people for quotes - what is that about? Has the economy improved that much that quickly that sales people don't have to be concerned about getting quotes to potential customers?

    Trivial annoyance of the day? I'm kind of missing OldNotWise! Hope she's coming back :(

    Ban perhaps?

    I was thinking about this, and I realised, anyone of us could pop our clogs and nobody would ever know ( on boards I mean), be just another boardsie gone to AH in the sky.............

    And when people say "I should of" instead of "I should have"

    It can be a bit full on alright, my husband hates it, but it does serve a purpose. A lot of people with embarassing illnesses are often too embarrased to go see a gp, but programmes like that one can make it a bit easier for them to seek help.

    People who have liquids in their hand luggage when going through security in an airport.

    WTF are you playing at????! These rules have been in place for years now. Your stupidity is holding everyone up. And then you have the audacity to moan at the security guy for doing his job and throwing your precious sun cream in the bin. STFU, follow the rules and get the fook out of the way.

    The fact that I can't take coffee without sugar BUT I don't particularly like my coffee with sugar either.

    I used to take a teaspoon and a half until I realised it was too sweet.
    So I went down to one teaspoon and still found it too sweet.
    So today I put a half a teaspoon in and now it's just bland.

    I don't know what to do.

    And yes I could just stop drinking coffee but I like a cup now and again.
    So there is no solution!
    I always want my coffee to taste how walking past a Bewley's café smelled.

    You don't like coffee with sugar or without sugar. You know what the logical conclusion is here.... ?

    This young woman had experienced some sort of highly-technical plumbing issue during a recent birth. She was in skilled hands and got properly sorted out, the creature, but it was not exactly medically necessary to do a close-up gaping kebab shot, even if it was after the watershed!

    Each to their own, and all that, but I would find it hard to take that person seriously. Every time I would see the 1D posters at their desk, I'd be fit to laugh.

    That, and the ones who start to slowly loosen belts, remove jackets etc when they are at the point of going through, despite the recorded announcements and signs, it still comes as a surprise to them...

    Same as the tools who, as soon as the plane starts to descend, stand up and start getting sh1t from overhead lockers. We at least 20 mins away from the doors opening, so sit the fcuk down!!. We are all going to end up standing at a baggage carousel anyway.
