Trivial things that annoy you part 479

You know when you have a shower and have a nice clean fresh towel on the towel warmer waiting for you...looking forward to that nice cosy bliss while drying yourself....but then discover that the towel is all hard...someone forgot to put fabric softener in the wash.

One of the kittens decided to chew on my shoulder at 1am. I woke up and moved and she stretched herself out to sleep. She woke me so I would move out of her way!!!

Then at 6am, Pepper jumped up on the chest of drawers and made a glass smash all over the floor.

I'm tired and cranky. I don't feel like working today. Bring on half term!

A lot of my towels are hard even though I use fabric softener in every wash.
I think it's actually to do with the quality of the towels.
The big fluffy ones that are a bit dearer than the standard towels seem to keep their softness.
My Mam's towels are always hard; like thin sheets of metal

Give them 10/15 mins in the tumble dryer (when they're already dry!)

When I am talking to someone and they say, "sorry, did you give me your name?".


"No".

I love a hard, scratchy towel

My cat is being exiled to downstairs for biting me when I'm asleep. I sleep with my arm under the pillow and my hand sticks out from under the pillow. The little fooker thinks I'm playing with him and goes to town on me.
Then when I pull my hand back in he is trying to get under the pillow and starts scratching.
Little bast@rd. Adorable little bast@rd.

Waiting rooms of any kind, especially if there's a good few to be seen before you. Sitting there ruminating in your thoughts, wondering what you'll be told. Nobody's happy to be there and Everyone looks like condemned wo/men. And magazines don't really help, especially when it's a heat magazine from 2011.

I saw a person with an "Only God can judge me" tattoo. I have to give him points for it being spelt correctly. It could have been a fake tattoo, it had to be, nobody would actually choose a tattoo like that.

I wasnt backstage of the Jeremy Kyle show where it would be understandable to see it.

You know what gets right up my left nostril? Do you? Well then I shall tell you. It's folk what lose things. All sorts of things, important things, all... the... time. Need your drivers license/learner permit? Lost. VLC for the car? Vamos. Keys? No sign. Bank card(s)? AWOL. Passport? You must be chuffing-well joking, matey. Jesus buck-jumping Christ on an NSU Quickly, can't some people just take a bit of care of their important bits-and-pieces like that, instead of sending the parish into cardiac conniptions every time one of them is needed?? :pac::pac::pac:

I found a euro on the footpath this morning on the way down to the school. There were no other kids in front of me on the way down, who may have lost it so I put it in my pocket. That damn lucky day song off the MacDonalds ad kept going through my head then. I remembered after that there was a cake sale at the school and all I could think was some child had lost their money for a couple of buns.

This reminds me of when my daughters car was taken from her and she went out to the pound to get it back,The man out there wanted the log book before he would return it so she came home and all hell broke loose.We tore the house apart and then tore it apart again,everyone shouting at each other but as usual I seemed to be the one at fault.Anyway she went back that afternoon to plead her case and a different fella was there and says"Sure you dont need that at all girl":rolleyes:WTF Didnt teach her a lesson anyway.

People who make 'moist' noises with their mouth when talking on the radio. There was an ex-priest on Moncrieff this afternoon and you could hear the side of his lips sticking together as he spoke, ugh!

I bought Tesco's version of Fruit 'n' Fibre yesterday (there was a difference of over €4 between Tesco's and Kellogg's).

I thought it would be exactly the same, as I've often bought Tesco products that were exactly the same as the brand name.

But wow, do not buy Tesco's Fruit 'n' Fibre!
I poured a bowl this morning and got NO FRUIT. NO NUTS, NOTHING.
Just those brown flakes.

Here's a pic of my bowl: http://tinypic.com/r/mm8whh/8

I had a look through the bag and saw two pieces of banana.

Poured a few bowls to check and I was so amazed that there was virtually no fruit in the whole box!
No wonder it only cost €1.79 for a 750g box.


Back to Kellogg's with me.

Don't put fabric softener in with towels... They lose their absorbency.

Also flame-retardant fabrics as it may make them more flammable.

I know how you feel. There's nothing worst than reading a very descriptive thread. I generally avoid animal cruelty threads because when I read them, I tend to develop an unhealthy need for vengeance towards the human scum involved.

Fabric softener also bad for waterproofing on jackets, it strips it away, for some reason, same with those "wick away" tee shirts.

Nothing like a good rough towel dry,

bring back the sack cloth.....:D

Re the fluffy towels.

Now I am sorry and all that, but wtf, how in hell can you dry yourself on a marshmallow like piece of soft cloth?

Give me a good scrubby towel anyday. At least I feel dry after, not slip sliding away.

Anyway, the person who invents a body dryer (like a hand dryer only bigger lol) will win the apprentice for me!

Painted my nails for Halloween in school tomorrow. I have black nail polish everywhere. It's all over my fingers and somehow on my tummy. I'm so messy!

I reckon it's in the lab at Dyson nearly ready to go. Imagine how much it'll be!

No! A good quality soft towel is the absolute business for drying yourself. When I am in hotels I hate using their cheap bleached sandpaper towels....end up using a hair dryer to dry myself!
