    Same as the tools who, as soon as the plane starts to descend, stand up and start getting sh1t from overhead lockers. We at least 20 mins away from the doors opening, so sit the fcuk down!!. We are all going to end up standing at a baggage carousel anyway.

    That is what amuses me, in that situation :D.

    A few years ago, Mrs E and I got away sans kiddies for a little break. On the return flight, Mrs E is at window seat, and me in the middle, she dozes off the minute she sits down and I get ready to finish my book. Along comes a couple with two kids, and infant and one about three, they take the row across the aisle. A soon as the plane takes off, his missus says something to him, he moves with the two kids to the seat beside me, and the wife stretchers herself across three seats for a nap!! His kid kept poking at me and grabbing my book. After 20 mins of this, I asked him if he could stop the child poking at me........he mutters something like "FFS, some people....." and made a big show of waking wifie up and moving back over to his own seats. She spends the rest of the journey throwing daggers at me.

    How can you live with yourself! Depriving that woman of her sleep. ;)
    That is exactly like what would happen to me. Some people are unreal! I hope you threw daggers (not literally :)) right back.

    My trivial annoyance for today is I haven't decided who to vote for in either the local or European elections.
    Jebus, the line up of potential MEPs is fairly dismal. I watched bits and pieces of the Prime Time debates, and the most impressive speaker was David McCullagh...pity he isn't standing for election.

    What a GIMP!

    I had a couple sit next to me with their baby coming back from Glasgow once. The baby needed a nappy change and the parents changed the nappy at the seat, using the drop down table. Thankfully I was near the window so I had somewhere to look, I was that embarrassed that someone would remove the baby's undergarments near a complete stranger! Awkward! Not to mention contents of said nappy leaking onto the table which someone might be eating off later on...
    (I don't remember much of a smell thankfully, I think it was mostly wee in the nappy).

    Trying to ring Irish Aviation Authority so I can let some sky lanterns off at the weekend.

    Im not letting them off without permission, and Im hoping they answer tomorrow. My annoyance is their phones though, it rings, then beeps, then beeps every 5 seconds after that. I dont know if Im in a queue of calls or supposed to leave a message?

    Good Idea: Letting off Sky Lanterns at a wedding
    Bad Idea: Letting off sky lanterns at an airport

    I've always wanted to be able to write a Good Idea/Bad Idea :D

    There is an aviation forum on here - maybe you could contact somebody in the know through that?

    I really hate the way that some UK sellers on Amazon try to rip you off with things. I ordered something and they wanted 15 pounds to ship it to Ireland, it's a flipping handbag for goodness sake not a tv. Thankfully I have my Parcel motel account so it only cost about 3.50 in the end.

    It's a great feeling alright, panicky but exciting. I remember the morning of our wedding. I was at the hairdressers early and my hairdresser brought over a massive ashtray and a huge glass of wine, well needed, even if it was 9am:D Then it was off to the salon to get my makeup done then back to the hairdressers to get the last minute bits done.

    I hope you have a wonderful day. It'll go past in a blur:)

    Buying a book today, and the two people working at the tills kept talking to one another without acknowledging me, or the other customer. :mad:
    It was very important though, one of them was explaining to the other, in detail, how to put on eye liner, and where is the best place to buy it...

    Has anyone else noticed that after a few beers it is virtually impossible to imitate Roger Moore without inadvertently doing Tony Curtis as Shell Oil Jr. in "Some Like It Hot"? This is surprisingly irritating.

    When you open the car door and sit down, proceed to close the door, just as a fly slips in. :mad:

    When the person parked in the car next to yours opens their car door and hits your car door (possibly damaging it if the force is strong enough) and doesn't even notice, let alone apologise.

    Getting emails from supposedly professional people who start the mail with 'Hi Surname'.

    It's obvious it's a surname too. I mean how stupid can you be!? I'd have had conversations with them on the phone where they called me by my first name!

    Some people haven't figured out that names are set to display as 'surname, first name' in their mail client.

    I get this a lot too but it's more understandable as my surname can also be a first name. However, my first name is clearly not a surname!

    This really grinds me too, only answer is to swing your door back at them.
