Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Pumpkinseeds

Will seem a bit vague but basically when if you'd been somewhere 5 minutes earlier or later and could have avoided a tricky situation if you had, but you didn't, if you get what I mean? I won't go into it but it's a situation where I did a lot for a business and made them a shed load of money and then I left.

Now they need my help but tbh it didn't end well last time which is why I left. I'm OK with giving my expertise in an advisary capacity but there's no chance in Hell that I'm going to be actively involved in the business again. I just feel like I'm being emotionally blackmailed. Don't get me wrong, it's very flattering to feel needed, but it also piss*s me off that they think I'd go back:mad::rolleyes::eek::D

Them, and little aul wans with big, tartan shopping things, especially the 4WD versions, take the ankle clean off. Optional extras are probably those scythe like things you can attach to a chariot:D

Hmm! like the sound of that to outdo the buggy and shopping bag warriors
Just to add to the list, people with shopping trolleys who nearly mow you down. I'd hate to see some of them behind the wheel of a car.

I'm also going to be on fly monitoring duty all day now as I'm not sure if I just forgot to zip up earlier, or if it's a malfunctioning zipper. So that's going to be alot of groin pats, and visual inspections of my groin area throughout the day.

Hmm will this involve colleagues, I think you need to clarify

I've been managing OK so far by myself today. But I'm sure if for some reason my hands become unavailable, I could ask one of my team to stand in.


It looks like it may not be a faulty zipper after all, just neglegence on my part when I dressed.

People who use text speak in advertising. There is no way in Hell that I'm going to buy any kind of service from someone who uses that, especially not when it comes to physiotherapy.

Probably been said before but those people that insist on putting those dividers between their shopping and my shopping in supermarket checkout queue. Do I really look like someone who would mix up my tampons with the weetabix belonging to the bloke with beard that standing behind me?
I know the beard thing might be confusing and that weetabix does soak up a lot of milk but seriously folks, why?
Is a good 6 inches between us not enough:D

I'm OCD about the divider thing. I always look for a divider straight away and get irritated if I can't find one. I don't know why......

Last time I looked I didn't have a willie. But I do like weetabix and I might have a beard if you catch me on a bad day. :pac:

There's some bird, who sounds sort of pissed off sitting on the roof above my room and it just won't shut up! The noise regulations of the building obviously don't bother the feathery fecker.

Oh and now he decided to have a wee walk. He must be the size of a small pig by the sound it! So off he goes stomping and squeaking :mad:
