Trivial things that annoy you part 479

The way time slows when you are tired.

It's 8 weeks to Christmas and once again I am headed for a disorganised, last minute event.

The new auto correct on Boards that insists on b*stardising all my words into Americanisms. I'll have none of your z's now, leave me with my s's!

Ah dating, it really knocks back your confidence.

Between being stood up, finding out they have a fiancee and baby, they themselves are only a nipper themselves but would love a cougar (in 24 I'm not a ****ing cougar) or just want the ride and assume you are a slut coz you aren't thin, or cancelling the date because they met someone and might ask them out (but I'll definitely contact you if it goes Tits up) it just knocks you back a bit.

But in saying that I'm not overly pushed on a relationship.

Just how it's getting to me is my TA

The phrase "the ride" , really really bugs me. Sorry

Those articles that pop up online about saving money - for example, "50 ways to save a thousand euro in a year" and then all the tips are really mind-numbingly boring like buying a new lagging jacket for the tank or changing to low energy bulbs. There are also thingsthat don't apply like cutting magazine subscriptions. As well as just batty recommendations to ignore use by dates. Also ultimate stinge of using charity vet services instead of private ones - just taking up spaces that genuinely poor people need. Here are three of the dreariest ones I found:

"clean your dryer lint trap to increase dryer productivity by 75%"

"use the right sized cookware to save 36 euro per year"

"cook with a crockpot"

The cushion of the library seat im sitting on now was moulded to the dimensions of its last users bum.
The indentation complete with cheek outline and detailed parting crack awaited me, it was the only seat left.
I had to sit on their bumprint.
Feels unclean and a bit rapey.
There must also be 10000 farts stored in this cushion.
Seriously considering using a book as rudimentary hygenic barrier.

Stranger Danger

Was chopping onions yesterday evening and nicked my finger with the knife. So today I have, or should I say had, a plaster wrapped around the tip of my finger.

I was in the toilets and was drying my hands, when the dryer, which is a particularly powerful dyson model, blew the bloodied plaster right off my finger and into the adjacent urinal, where one of my colleagues was taking a piss.

What does one even say in such a situation?

What is the correct etiquette?

I'm hoping it is that both parties pretend that absolutely nothing has happened at all.

The term 'happy out'.

It always reminds of an inmate on day release from a mental institution.

The auto-opening doors at the front of my office building are wonky and open really slowly. I didn't notice leaving earlier and slammed my shoulder off the slowly retreating fcuker and sent my coffee cup flying across the path.

Same here,mast weekninwas looking at Insignias on Carzone, specifically under the Opel search. All fcuking Vauxhall. After three or four calls, I asked why he was trying to pass off a Vauxhall for Opel...he says "sure Irish people don't like Vauxhalls". This was a fairly reputable car dealer......

Opel under warranty you can get serviced at any Opel dealer, a Vauxhall under warranty, I presume only where you buy it?

My car still off the road, engine from UK £5000, not including injectors, or shipping or fitting, waaaaah , decisions decisions.

I could justify that money if I loved the car and intended to keep it for a very long time.Is that for a brand new engine? Id spend it on mine if I had to..I reckon youll do it:P

MY TA is that someone here is flying to a hot sunny climate in a few hours and just in case thats not annoying me enough theyre parading around in a pair of shorts since they started packing...now I will have to have a glass of wine to make myself feel better about that..:(:D

Oh and Happy Birthday to anyone whos celebratating today;) Its not me btw..

Nope, not a new one, a re-con one, to get it fixed here is just under E10 including a clutch, (while its apart) and a year warranty after, but there's nothing out there that's appealing to me at the moment, so it's looking like a rebuild an be a keeper.:rolleyes:

Been using an Iphone for the past few week as my samsung got dunked in the toilet. Only realised today that the calendar starts on a Sunday and not a Monday - like every other phone. I now know why I have been very confused re appointments and deadlines lately.
Damn you Apple!!!!

There is a little fly, the size of a pinhead flying around me now.

I cannot understand what their usefulness in life is unless it is to drive me bonkers.

I am flaying my arms like there is no tomorrow. And two minutes later, back it comes again to fly into my head.

God what the F?

I have had heartburn for 2 days straight. I wish it would just get lost already!

major bill

Bayern Munich Fans tonight staged a protest at the emirates over the cost of an away ticket, £64. the protest was to not turn up for the first 5 mins of the game, now as a football fan I understand the grievances against modern football and the pure disregard towards the working class fan BUT they (Bayern Fans) still paid the poxy money, Arsenal are not out of pocket, yes it brought the attention of the matter to Twitter and other social media outlets but whats the point??? if you are pissed off over ticket prices then don't buy a ticket and send a proper message!!

Just my take on it so please carry on :pac:
