    Answer to the perennial "Does mayonnaise belong in the fridge or in the press?" question is: Neither, mayonnaise belongs in the bin.

    Horrid stuff.

    I suppose you're not a fan of potato salad, either?

    People almost standing on top of me in a queue. I miss the days during the early 2020s* and beyond, when you had to stand back from people. I was in the library, ordering a book and 2 women were so close behind me that the librarian couldn't hear me speak over their chatting.

    STAND BACK OR I'LL GET CROSS WITH YOU!

    Elbowing them hard in the stomach would have been considered self defence.

    I got a ticket for parking, put it on the dashboard and went off for a couple of hours.

    On my return I saw that at some stage between putting it on the dash and closing the door the wind had flipped it upside down, which gave me TA.

    If I had got a ticket I would have been really TA.

    friend of mine just got her first tattoo. A line of arabic on the inside of her arm from just above her wrist to just short of her elbow joint…if it looked artistic great but, it looks rubbish. Now she’s stuck with it…her skin tone is very pale but the tattoo is matt black, no shading, or colour tones, so actually looks like she’s been branded as opposed to nicely artistically tattooed….

    Bought a pair of runners 4 months ago. Like them a lot so wear them a lot.

    In the past week the plastic on the heel part has broken through and rubbing my heel. I ordered heel cushions to see if it works but 4 months of use is bad. They're fit for the bin.

    Gone off salad bags in the shops that look like they were picked from the swamp.

    Or fruit and veg too. I hate when staff leave manky looking food on display.

    In local Supervalu, I had to hand a prawn cocktail tub to a staff member that was a week out of date at that point

    I didn't know it existed 😁. Tbh I wasn't even all that annoyed that the power went off, but it has improved the place since it came back on, it was very gloomy. I was doing a tedious tidying up a store room job that was TA-ing so I just continued on.

    Power Check were giving an estimated restoration time of 2.15, it's now fecking ten O clock.

    Way more than trivial I know.

    We were off for about half an hour around 1pm. That wasn't much of a problem but before that we had half an hour of power switching on and off and dipping in voltage - that can be very TAing as it can do more damage to connected equipment than the actual outage.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I used to LOVE an oul blackout as a kid. The excitement! Our power went for about 40 minutes last week and the kids literally weren't able to cope. No TV and no Wifi for tablets make Homer something something.

    The line

    "On behalf of X we would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause"

    Just don't bother. It's a rote line that you don't mean and nobody listening wants to hear it.

    I was just in the action of striking a match to light the gas on the hob when the power came back on, completely fused my brain for a second.

    It's like when you're reversing into a car parking space and just as you stop, the car beside you starts pulling out. Totally discombobulates me for a second every time,
