    When people walking around a corner have no regard to the probability of someone walking around the same corner from the other side. Slow down! :mad:

    The stupid walk that takes over me when I have to walk past people who are standing or sitting still, and the fear of doing that trip/run thing.

    People sneezing all over the office and then expecting a simple "excuse me" to counter the fact that they have just infected you with the plague.

    IBTS claiming to have lifted the ban on gay men donating blood but keeping a 12 month deferral scheme in place which means gay men in a committed relationship who (presumably) have sex are still not allowed to donate. That's not lifting the ban!

    Unripe fruit.

    The weird thread like thing on the side of a banana that can only be described as "chewy powder" to eat.

    People who deliberately mis-use words to sound cool - can you action this for me today? What. Can you learn proper English today or I'll shove your action where the sun doesn't shine.

    TA mod reminding us of the need for TA's and getting me thinking about all the TA's I have! :p

    Installing an update and the user is looking over your shoulder.

    I'm the only one that has to watch the progress bar. If you left you could be doing something fun and I can be on my phone.

    I have a sinus infection lingering for the past few days. Not bad enough to be 'officially sick' but bad enough to feel like crap.

    I'm going on holidays next week but I feel so down about it because I'm really out of shape and I feel almost embarrassed. I saw pictures from last years holiday and I looked pretty toned but with a few things on over the last few months I've just gone backwards :( super frustrated and down today. Afraid I won't enjoy my holiday that much now.

    bring a pair of runners with ya on holidays. If you feel very annoyed with yourself, use that as motivation while over there. You'll feel better, even if you only get a couple of 20 min runs in.

    Alternatively, make your plan for uber-fitness when you return.

    But most of all - try to be happy in yourself. People tend to be very critical of themselves unnecessarily (me included!).

    TA that my holidays are over and I don't feel like I've had one :(

    Very true - would be a lot harder to come back and start workouts again if I completely stop while I'm gone so will plan to do something there. I might look up local sporting activities etc.

    I shall try :) I just got myself really down last night because I tried on some bikinis that I was so happy to fit into last summer, and just felt I looked so awful in them now.

    TA: every thing I try to do in work today keeps failing in our new system and I have to log bugs for it. Just let me know when it's working ffs.

    Check the hotel you are in. Mine had spin classes, 5 aside football, water aerobics etc and I didn't find out until I was 7 days into the holiday!



    TA is it is lashing down and I know i will go home to 2 wet dogs! (I had a big kennel built for them but do you think they would use it??

    I didn't have time to watch TV for the last four years, now that college is finished I have loads of box sets to catch up on. GOT is the first, and I'm only on Season 1. There's also House of Cards and Breaking Bad. I spend half my day trying to avoid spoilers!

    TA that there was something in my burrito that I hate but I don't know what it is. Maybe coriander? I left out the salsa today thinking that was the culprit but it was still there. I'll never get it right.

    When I'm talking to someone I seem to subconsciously start to imitate their accent :( I become aware of myself doing it but can't stop. It's mortifying as well as annoying!

    If I'm trivially annoyed by that, does it count?

    When the canteen at work add a load of salt and spice to disguise the bad taste of whatever their dish of the day is.

    Same here,there is no way that you could guess what flavour the soup is meant to be by tasting it as it always tastes like salty something or other.The colour varies but not the taste.I try not to think about what's in it tbh but think it's leftovers spiked with salt.

    TA is being on break with someone who talks non stop about some boring ****e and you end up going back to your desk early rather than risk blurting STFU out loud .One of these days......

    That dog story a few pages back has made me feel fuzzy that my TA isn't bothering me anymore.
    However, it's for whenever a newspaper puts up an article on a celebrity (in this case Caroline Wozniacki) and people in the comments write 'who?'
    Uou're on the internet, look it up. But we all know that you write these comments is because it makes you feel smug to try to invalidate someone even though you know who they are.

    Bosses who try to be mates with their team. You simply cannot be an effective supervisor if you are off drinking with the same lads during the Euros and then the next day have to fcuk then out of it for making some silly mistake. You are either a boss or a mate, not both. And yet so many bosses out there just don't get this and happily tag along with their team at lunch and work nights out :mad::cool:

    Right, no laughing at this.

    Driving along the M50 behind a car towing a horse box. I am driving along for a bit and then notice that the back of the horsebox is leaking.
    The water is hiting the road and spraying my car.
    I drive along thinking how odd it is that the horsebox is leaking.

    And then I realise.
    The horse in the horsebox is having a piss.
    And my nice clean car is now covered in horse piss.

    Fecking stinks too.

    I got a private room in a hostel thinking I would sleep better. If it weren't the hostel from hell, maybe. I've closed the window but it and the door may asweel be gone, I can hear every word people are saying in every direction. On top of only one hour sleep last night I'm begining to get a headache :(

    Also TA my phone is using the new boards mobile site and it confuses me slightly.

    I was trying to take a photo with my phone but the screen was staying blank ,I tried punching every button but no luck.After calling it every F*ing F word I realised that I'd written a phone number on a yellow post-it and tucked it into the phone cover blocking the camera....I just shouldn't be left near any thing techy.

    Another night and another deep longing for chippies. Oh Gods why did you not bestow upon me a fast metabolism? Or at least a strong motivation and desire to exercise? Why must I suffer so.
