Last time I was in there the waitress was HORRIFIED when I demanded that they cook the steak for me. 'Oh but we recommend that you cook it yourself on the stone as it's more flavoursome'. That's great love, so why don't you get your chefs to cook it on the stone on my behalf then? :rolleyes: Why would I cook my own steak in a restaurant? What do the chefs do then? FS!

My wireless earphones beep loudly approximately every 10 seconds when there is 1 hour of battery left.
The song pauses, long beep, song resumes.
The battery would last a hell of a lot longer if it wasn't for this incessant beeping draining it.
Its infuriating, they're basically no more good as soon as it starts. :mad:

Have pity for any customer serving staff. Was in the queue for coffee, auld codger comes up to complain about a ham/cheese toastie.

"I can't eat this, it has processed meat. I have had a transplant", manager tried to PC-ly ask "why the fcuk did you order it then."

Surely if you have any dietary issues, you ask before you start to eat something.

When a TV show goes downhill

Was binge watching a show that lasts 4 seasons. Season 1, 2 & 3 amazing!

Season 4 utter muck. I wonder did all the writers let success go to their head and they got sacked for abusing cocaine (happened Aaron Sorkin!)

This is a different show anyway. It's so bad I've watched 38 episodes and I'm just struggling to get through 39 & 40 to wrap up

Should have killed it while it was going good

Which show was it?

I suffered the same fate with Walking Dead. I loved the first two series and it slowly went downhill after that. Managed to force myself to watch seasons 4 and 5, hoping against hope that it would somehow get back to the earlier high standard, but it continued to get worse. Even the actors started to look as though they couldn't give a toss.

Finally gave up mid-way through season 6. I felt cheated that I'd invested so much time into this show.

In your position I'd definitely force myself to watch the last two episodes though.

Ditto, i had to drop it, but persisted way longer than I should have.

I had to drop that too, couldn’t stick it anymore

Annoyed that when you are almost off for a couple of weeks, every single hour till you finally can get out of work seems to last 90 minutes.

History programmes where the narration is all in the present tense.

"The conspirators need to make sure Caesar comes to the Senate."

They do? I thought they'd already killed home over 2000 years ago.

Oh Gods, now that you've mentioned it, I will never be able to watch these programmes without thinking about how trivially annoying it is :mad:

My thoughts exactly ! TA that this restaurant wants you to cook your own food.
I go to a restaurant to have a chef cook FOR me

Windows & single user ? If so there might be an option in win update to 'check for updates but do not download' ( or something like that ).

You can then go into win update at your leisure to do update.

My sincere apologies, Monday mornings are indeed a pain

My current annoyance is that I can’t seem to get warm, I’m tempted to make a hot water bottle and carry it around with me :eek:

I didn’t know that, next time it happens I’ll look around for that option. Thank you!

Almost got run over AGAIN today by another stupid c0ck-eyed driver. A car stopped at a crossing to let me pass and when I was in the middle of the crossing a red car driven by a woman with glasses came speeding through. Thankfully I had a feeling she wasn't going to stop so I stopped in the middle of the crossing at the last second. The person in the car that had actually stopped beeped their horn madly at her but the b1tch just stared straight ahead and pretended not to notice.

This is the umpteenth time this has happened at this particular crossing, I'm not going to use it anymore. Contacting the council to set up a camera there would probably be fruitless but I'm tempted. I'm raging I didn't note the licence plate number of the car.

I always assume people won't stop at crossings.

I can’t find any envelopes, I could have sworn I bought a packet of white envelopes but they seem to have disappeared now I actually need one :mad:
