The fact that my dad is always smarter than and one step ahead of me. Driving down the road at snails pace this morning. Not wanting to be all "me me me" I decided to go for the passive aggressive dig so I said to him, "all the people behind us are going to be really late for work today" and he comes back with, "they should have left earlier".

I have an image in my head of Confucius driving at 10mph.....with a very frustrated ONW beside him:)

I am quite willing to bet that this town is one of the windiest (blustery wise:) ) in the country. An umbrella is about as much use as a chocolate teapot

Umbrellas in general are bloody stupid things. Imagine the design process:
"Well John, I've neatly arranged these spiky things in a circle, leaving just enough sticking out to stab someone"
"Oh really Dave? Whereabouts do you imagine these stabby things should be placed?"
"Oh, right about eye level should do it!"

People who use brollies in busy areas without a thought to the other people around them deserve to be rained on for eternity. (But from one of those tiny cartoon clouds that follow them around, so that the rest of us don't get affected, obviously )

A colleague asked to borrow a fiver earlier this morning, so I handed over a lovely fresh, unblemished, crackly note.

She just paid me back in feckin' shrapnel. Jesus, Mary and the Carpenter there are even 1 cent coins in the mix. I now have to fill my purse with ****ty little coins. Grrrrr.

I've just looked up from my computer, I'm the only person sitting in my department.
I get the feeling I'm missing something important.

Business people who do not reply to emails, then when you ask them if they had your email say, " Oh yes..." WELL HIT REPLY THEN!

I know it has been said before but I really despise this whole thing of sticking your tongue out in photographs. Where did that come from? What is it supposed to mean? The offenders seem to think it gives off this "I'm so cool and hip and mad" vibe but they just look like twats. Ooh look at me, I'm forever young. I'm in a pub and I am drinking the alcohol and I am so mad that I just cannot keep my disgusting pink licker in my gob. Grown adults who look otherwise normal suddenly turn into fúcking vegetables who cannot control their maxillofacial movements. The older the offender the more pathetic and annoying it is. And I also find it more irritating when men do it.

So it begins. The Zombie Apocalypse. Congratulations, you too are as we, i.e. carrying a very rare genetic mutation that renders you immune to Zombification. I take it you have the brace of .45 ACPs, M4 carbine and autoloading Mossberg? :cool:

You must be doing something right if you're important enough to be deliberately ignored, because that's what's happening until you actually rugby-tackle the guy in The Real World(TM) :pac:

Posted the other day in trivial things that make you happy thread and mentioned rhubarb yoghurt.

Went to Aldi earlier to get my fix and not a pot of it to be seen in the place, ugh!
I got strawberry instead but, tis no rhubarb.

Nice, but for undead critters who have no idea whether they're injured or not the thump of a .45 is better. :cool:

How about a Magnum Research .45/70? If you have hands like a gorillia, that is. :pac:

On the yoghurt theme, I can't abide bits of fruit in yoghurt! Why can't they make petit filous for grown ups!?

Yahoo Mail have swapped the "Archive" and "Delete" buttons around on the standard Inbox view in their email Webapp and it's driving me fuckan crazy!! :mad:

My desk is near a kettle / coffee dock so I often get to listen to stupid small talk between people as they get their drinks ready. Fridays are the worst for that! I must have heard at least 20 conversations today that started with 'HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!'
