I don't know how I managed it but I left my car window all the way open last night. I don't even have automatic window opening from my key.
My seat was drenched wet this morning.

Shared missing persons on facebook where a 10 second investigation will tell you that the person showed up safe over 6 months ago.

Or sharing a post of a missing dog and telling everybody to keep an eye out, when the dog is missing from Sydney/New York/Timbuktu.

I mean I know they can stray far from home, but come on ..... :rolleyes:

My car has 666.6 miles on it since I got it !
Also on cars , when parking you see what seems like a free space only to find a tiny car parked all the way back

My TA is the beginning of charities hounding you for money for the next few weeks. Already got big envelopes from two charities and I suppose they'll be kicking down the front door soon enough telling me that it's my fault if the man on the moon dies because I didn't empty my entire bank account for them.

I already have my chosen charities which I always donate to and are very close to my heart, so fcuk off the rest of ye!

TA´d I cannot remember peoples names

I might get chatting to someone in work or sports club function or something and they tell me their name. Before our conversation even finishes I have likely forgotton it.

And then a few weeks later it's oh Mike how are you?...and I cannot ask for their name as it's embarrassing

Yet I could quote you sports statistics for decades, I once could list every Formula One champion ever by year, over 60 names in year by year order. Why cannot I remember useful stuff ?!?

Is it that you can't remember the names if you are just told them, but if you saw the name written down, you would? I'm like that, taking things in visually rather than aurally. You could ask me to add four relatively simple numbers and I might get it quickly enough (or I'd have to get you to repeat the numbers) but I could see the six numbers and the target on the Countdown numbers game and solve it in a split-second. I can remember the birthdays of people in my class in primary school in the early '80s, and well as the alpha-numeric numbers over a hundred people in work.

My major trivial annoyance is that the chain on my bike snapped on the way home from work yesterday evening, in the pouring rain. :mad: It happened in the middle of a busy crossroads too.

Trick is to say the person's name out loud when they tell you. You're much more likely to remember it.

And If you do forget it during the conversation just ask again before you pass the point of no return!!

That would mean being able to retain it long enough to repeat it... It literally evaporates from my head the instant it has left the person's lips.

It's more an observation than an annoyance but circle jerks on boards. No matter what people say they definitely exist. I should know as I used to be a part of one but decided to remove myself. Basically it's just a group of people thanking each others posts consistently regardless of what the post is. Not everyone on boards partakes or is like that but there is plenty of instances. I just think it's all a bit ridiculous.

There really should be a general observation thread on boards..... that's my TA

Me too. But its especially bad if I meet them out of context. A person I know from the gym if I meet them in a pub or supermarket I'm completely flummoxed.

Once I didn't recognise my father's next door neighbor (whom I've known for over 15 years) because I saw him in full figure as opposed to behind a fence...
