    People who squeeze from the top of the tube instead of the bottom :mad:

    Thankfully most toothpastes are now plastic tubes, but with metal tubes (medical ointments, tomato/garlic paste etc) when you squeeze from the top, often the wear and tear causes the tube to bend and split open at the sides.

    I'd go as far as to distance myself from anyone who reasoned that they 'only wanted a little bit, so squeezed from the top'.
    Inconsiderate illogical wasters.

    I was really annoyed with someone earlier on this year and rather than lose my temper and post something juvenile and nasty on Facebook I chose to unfriend them. They in turn blocked me from seeing their page, I know all very childish, on both sides. In my defence I was really pis$ed off and I didn't want her kids reading some nasty comment if I posted one.

    So anyway, this evening her teenage daughter arrived with a Christmas card from her with one of those long rambling round robin things and saying she'll call up to us over Christmas. Dafuq, we haven't spoken to each other for months and her teenagers blank me:confused: Ain't no way in Hell I'm opening the door to her. I binned the card as well.

    Also people who use the term 'The Christmas'. It's Christmas, just Christmas, there's no 'the' in it.

    2 mornings now I've had this car in front of me with its brake lights stuck on. There has been a gap of a month between both times so I tried to tell him. Meh, my failed good deed for the day! Cant fathom how someone can go a month with brake lights glued on but I tried. Still slightly annoying me but.. *shrugs*

    You could be talking about me - my kid sometimes refuses to sit in the buggy so I carry her. But then she changes her mind (or my powers of persuasion work!) and the buggy is her best buddy again.

    It's annoying for me too, but it gives me killer arms.

    Sign: This Door Is Alarmed.

    How do you alarm a door? Flash it? Threaten its hinges?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Had a great plan to hit Marks and Spencer after work to buy Mammy's presents. That's the end of it now and I want to avoid town for the entire weekend. I'm so siiiiiick of people bumping and bashing and their rudeness and queues and germs everywhere - moving stairs, door handles, pin pads....and then....I open the metro and see that marks will have 30% off all clothes....to-fuucking-morrow.

    One of the girls on the office has just spent about 15 minutes talking to her
    husband about the mobile contract and how they were going to change provider etc.

    She has a fairly loud voice so we were left with no doubt as to the most minute details of the call. Then she hangs up and says 'I was just talking to the husband about changing mobile provider'. No shít.

    Now she's telling us all the details of the call. She's still at it as I write.
    Company christmas party today. I'll be making sure I'll be seated far away.

    Just relay the story to her before she can tell it since you heard it already, and watch her skull implode with rage. :D

    I'll remember that for next time as there will be a next time.
    We get a what I would call a daily running commentary on every detail of her life.

    Taxi drivers who leave their light on when they already have a passenger. Standing there in the cold and rain and I'm thinking "finally, a taxi!" only for the p%^&k to zip straight past with 3 people in the back
