What is the point of you? You don't taste nice and you're the colour of snot.

Maybe so they can remind us of OEJ's nether region?

He was always wearing baseball caps backwards and real low on his brow.

I haven't seen the re-make promo (Jesus would they ever leave the classics alone! :mad:), but is his mop anything like Jack Lord's in the original Hawaii Five-O?

I have to admit, I'd have loved to know what he used to keep that mop under control...

(although now I think of it, maybe I wouldn't )

Kiwi juice!

People who have two accounts on Skype and leave them both on. Why, just why?

People unable to use Tesco self-service tills.

Place basket on shelf.

Start and scan first item.

Place item in "bagging" area, NEXT to bag.

Repeat with next item until all scanned.

Pay for items. Usually with a scrunched-up note that will only be accepted on the 15th try.

Pack bag with your items. Very slowly and methodically.

Someone tore down all posters for an event I help out with. The absolute definition of trivially annoying because it doesn't actually matter, but now I have to bother to print more and then sellotape them up again

They should be putting things into the bag as they go along, instead of putting them beside the bag and then packing them after they're finished

Not a TA as such, but I thought I would share anyway.

I went to donate blood last week.,I have deep veins which are not really visible so it usually involves a bit of poking and prodding before said vein is located. I am lying on a trolley and the conversation went something like this.


Nurse 1. "Breda, can you take a look at this, I can't get a vein up"
Nurse 2."ah, that's because you are only using one finger, you need to use three fingers to get a good feel"
Nurse 1."ah yeah, I can feel it now it's throbbing away"

They could have gotten a pint of blood from my bitten lips.

"Can I get a like?" - no. F*ck off.

When terms & conditions for something have say, 5 terms and then number 6 is called "enjoy". Enjoyment is a term? If I don't enjoy it have I broken the contract? Also f*ck off.

We lost a cat in April, and all the missing signs have been taken down except one which is on the route I walk the dogs every evening. Seeing her faded little photo and her big imploring eyes staring at me, not knowing if she is still alive or if she is scared or suffering somewhere is, wait it's not trivially annoying it's sad

When people comment on my lunch in work. "Oh you're only having a salad, are you trying to lose weight?". "That's not all you're eating is it?". "Oh wow looks like you're indulging today!".

I don't know how people think it's okay to constantly make comments like that! I eat quite healthily with plenty of snacks in between meals whenever I'm hungry, so it's not like I'm starving myself. Should really start making "Oh wow, you must be hungry!" comments back....but, well...I'm not a c*nt.

This is a real bug bear of mine. Can't bring anything remotely aromatic in without a running commentary. The ones trying to lose weight are the worst. Comment on the food and then say, "oh I'd die for that now but I'm trying to be good!". :mad:

People that say TA is definitely one of mine.

Also back pain.

Signed up to do a bootcamp and had my first class yesterday. Going through the stations grand, bit sweaty but not tired and could keep going. Got to one that involved picking up weights - knees bent, lifting to waist, down again. Weight was fine - could manage it then at about the 2nd set on the 1st round, I felt the twinge that has now led to me lying down with a hot water bottle against my back.

Ho-hum.

The girl I work with had to give a blood sample to the company doctor a few months ago. She doesn't like needles so was a bit nervous, but what is the first thing the doctor says to her? "I absolutely HATE getting needles!". Great bedside manner there, doc!

Last week, the same girl had to go to hospital for an out-patient procedure. Before they did anything, they had to give her an injection. As they were preparing for this, the doctor and nurse (or whoever) were discussing a needle insertion that had gone wrong for one of them 20 minutes previously, where there was "blood everywhere".

She was thinking "Eh, I don't need to hear this!".

I wish I could give blood, but can't in Ireland, because I lived in the UK for more than a year consecutively from 1980 to 1996. That's a bit of an annoyance.

I seem to have a cold. It is not enough to knock me out and necessitate time off work, but it is bad enough to make any effort a trauma and be trivially annoying. Damned thing is taking its time too, won’t get worse, won’t get better.

I've never called in sick in the 8 years that I've been in my current job, but instead of feeling like I can call in sick if I have to because management will know I am not faking, it's actually had the opposite effect. I feel like I cant break my own personal record or something

I know the feeling. I felt the same way, even though the reason I was sick I'd been in a car crash, and not only was I covered in bruises and in shock but I completely smashed my car up!
