Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

People being late... especially when they are meeting me for lunch... I'm getting hangry!!!

Why are so many womens tops made of polyester? I went shopping this morning and ended up buying nothing. The jeans were awful and every top I looked at in every shop I went to was made of some sort of synthetic crap. It's no wonder so many people reek of BO. All the stuff was pretty much exactly the same except for the price tag.

River Island is not my friend, the only jeans they seem to sell are skinny jeans. I bought 2 belts for my husband in Diesel so it wasn't a complete waste of time. On the bright side, I'm doing my follow up visit to sign over our foster kitten to her new family. She's been there for a month now and they're very happy with her. I keep running into the woman on the same day every week, she must think I'm stalking her at this stage:D

That moment of sheer disgust when you ruin your mug of tea by dunking your biscuit for that extra second too long and the soggy half falls off and sinks to the bottom of the mug only for crumbs to float about and hit off your lip every time you go for a sip!

The "Make Up" ladies in dept stores..........

A) The smell of the stuff

The most unnatural looking people I ever saw. They must put it with a trowel.

All cloned in some Max Factory place in godknowswhere.

Why most of the shoes that have a sensible heel look ugly or like granny shoes, is it so much to ask for a comfortable well made pair of shoes that also look nice!? I can't wear sky high heels, I don't fancy "walking" like a new born giraffe.

That reminds me of having to go Xmas shopping with my mother when I was young - Jebus, Odin and Superman that was torture.

You get to relive that torture all over again when you have the "pleasure" of going out shopping with your missus too! The highly potent aroma that you get just passing The Body Shop is enough to make me gag, i honestly don't know how people can work there and breath that in all day!

I always go with the less is more rule of thumb with makeup. I see it more as a subtle enhancing thing rather than the 6 inches of muck on your face look. Jesus, when I see the make up advice nowadays it's ridiculous. There's the serum,moisturiser, then a primer followed by foundation cream followed by concealer followed by powder, that's before you even start on eyes and lips. Who the Hell has the time, or the inclination to look orange:rolleyes:

I think Lush is the worst for that, I can smell it about 100 metres away, and it really irritates my sinuses. I don't know how people work there.

None of that has anything to do with orange if you've picked the right shade

I picked a slightly less shade of pale on the bare essentials stuff, so it's moisturiser, maybe primer, make up powder, finishing powder, maybe a tiny bit of bronzer
Takes about 5 mins and it's a lot better and more natural looking than the stuff I used to use and I'm definitely not one for trowelling anything on

This is true, I don't know how so many women get it so wrong with foundation shades. Maybe they want a darker shade than their skin colour, I don't know, I've always tried to match mine as close as possible to my own colour. But it seems to me, that so many women, especially make up ladies, are wearing so many products that it just looks caked on.

When you want to point out something trivial that annoys you, but you can't because you'll be a passive aggressive cnut using the third person perspective so you don't look like a passive aggressive cnut...

I had a lady in the makeup counter who was showing me a new makeup they had ask me if i wanted a darker shade than my natural shade. The fúck?????

Surely the only way to be "natural looking" would be to use no make up? Brainwashed I tells ya, brainwashed!

You know what a spectrum or range is, right... and what "more" means?

I'm not sure how you can advertise something as natural looking if you have to artificially colour your natural face to achieve a natural look?

Well I am Leg man, and while I appreciate the discomfort, there is not a ladies leg in the world, that does not look better in a four inch stiletto.......but disregard that when it comes to those platformed orthopaedic looking things.

Just my opinion of course:D

Aglomerado · 21-03-2014 03:26PM

I agree with the pong from makeup. A woman I know looks like she has coated her face in pancake batter and you can tell she's around five minutes before you see her from the smell of the products she leaves in her wake. Bleh.

One can only conclude that some people are considered unnatural-looking "out-of-the-box"!

That 4 inch stiletto has made me break: one wrist, one ankle and made me walk like I had polio when wearing them.

Waiting about 12 weeks for house keys we were told we would have 6 weeks ago.

What is the f*cking hold up?!

If you really don't understand the difference between a comparison of 2 products and an absolute description, that's fine.

SpaceCowb0y · 21-03-2014 03:32PM

I know it's slightly off topic, and being a man i guess my knowledge of make up is limited to knowing that an average looking girl can make herself look quite the stunner with a bit of slap on her face however if there's anything i have learned from all these no make up snaps up on Facebook its that most (definitely not all!!!) of the girls i know are actually really quite good looking with little or no make up on, clearly some of them are still wearing a small bit in the photos but most of them without sounding mean just look really tired!

I tore a ligament in my left ankle in them, since then the ankle has been very weak and I've managed to tear ligaments while wearing flats 3 times. I keep a lovely pair of heels in the shoe cabinet and take them out to look at now and again. I can't even stand in them anymore:(

Oh I know what you mean eisenberg and I remember looking at my legs in the mirrow while wearing those stilettos thinking "wow, what has just happened!?"

And then I put them back on the shelf because it was a horrendous foot pain costing 100 quid. (Well I'd wear stilettos knowing that I won't be walking miles in them, unless I'd be with a gentleman who'd be willing to carry me in his arms :eek:) There are shoes for various occasions. I like nice shoes but if I'm going to look like a lady I should walk like one too

Anyway my complain was more about day-to-day shoes. I'm not the kind of a girl, who would wear crocs/runners/Uggs with her skirt on the way to/from work. I walk a lot as well so I want something that doesn't cripple my feet and looks good.

Shoe rant over
