Glancing in the mirror before a meeting this morning to see that your have erect nipples, caused by tight fitting dress, that aren't going anywhere and feeling self-concious throughout the meeting and most likely for the rest of the day. Argh!!

But think of the happiness everyone else gets

Are you kidding me?? You win the meeting, before you even leave the house! In fact, you win the whole day! You could have a meeting with the CEO and his entire team of landsharks and, assuming they're all male, all they'll be able to say is "Buh? Uh!! Umm, wurfle!!" :pac::pac::pac:

When you're walking along and the wind blows a few strands of hair across your face and you feel like you cant push them back behind your ear without looking like a poser, and just wait for the wind to blow them back again. Usually happens at the same time that trousers ride down and tops ride up a little and then you get overheated because you're walking fast and feel all flustered and generally undone. Let's not forget the single gust of wind that manages to catch the skirt underneath and blow it up. Raaar

The other day I got a message from a person I know (not a friend I should point out) and she wanted me to translate about half a page of text from Spanish to English for a contract she had to send. I told her that I was on a trip to Portugal and if it was urgent. Of course it was urgent so I said that I would do my best.

Now anyone who read my previous post about needlessly getting up too early or Wednesday morning will know I had a very long day Tuesday but being the obliging sort of man I am I translated it for her on Tuesday night at about 11.30pm.
Only now I have realised that I haven't received even so much as a whatsapp to say thanks.

Well I do. Sort of. But I am being responsible due to the environment I work in. I would not like to cause any accidental deaths and also prefer to spare myself the blushing!:P

You could always wear a nice cardigan:D

Driving along a single lane and person in front going 70kmph in a 100kmph zone. Thats fine, but then when the lane branches into a double lane they speed up to 100kmph. Also fine, so I stay behind them thinking thats grand they will stay this speed.
God no, as soon as the lanes go back to single lane their speed drops back down to 70. FFS!

Also when above happens and i decide to overtake, they speed up to 120ish to prevent me overtaking.... wtf is that about... idiots.

This does my head in. I end up with my hair tied up most of the time.

I will never forget the day when I was walking to work and that single gust of wind managed to blow the skirt up AND my scarf over my face. I wished I was an octopus. Two hands weren't enough. When I managed to get the scarf of my face and attended to fixing the skirt I tripped over my own leg and almost fell flat faced on the pavement. The two fellas loading the van I was passing by nearly broke their holes laughing

Happened me a few years back going to an interview. Whatever way the wind caught my skirt it just wouldnt stay down! I'd hold it down on both sides and it would come up at the back and vice versa. The feckin thing had a mind of it's own. I ended up standing with my back to a wall and holding it down at the front. Parachuted into a taxi at the first chance and never made the interview.

Yeah I know but I'm holding out that I might see her erect nipples through a tight fitting dress some day!

Cardigan secured but it isn't doing any cover up worth noting! The trivial annoyance of having erect nipples has now turned into the trivial annoyance of constantly feeling the need to check if said nipples are still erect or not, which to anyone noticing must look like I'm checking out my own tits. I think this dress will have to be removed from the 'to wear to work' pile into the 'for use to seduce OH' pile.

(Top tip: placing a bit of tissue paper into bra to cover the nipples deals with the erection issue but brings up a further issue of making one look like one has very odd shaped boobage)

^ This is the reason that I always buy bras that are slightly padded / thick enough to avoid any embarrassment.

Frigga_92 · 19-06-2014 01:50PM

Shops replacing all their normal stock with sale stock.
I went into a local shoe shop to buy 3 pairs of sandals I saw a number of weeks ago. They have a sale on at the moment but I had a suspicion that the sandals I was after wouldn't be in the sale and I was right. So I asked a salesperson if they had the sandals out the back and she said yes but they couldn't sell them to me as they're only selling sale stock at the moment. I was very surprised at this but thought sure maybe the sale will be finished at the weekend or something. No, the sale is for the month of June and for the month of June they are only selling sale stock.
I asked if I could speak to a manager to buy the sandals but I was left standing there for nearly 10 minutes so I just left.
Very strange carry on.

Angry feminists. Like half dead flies slowly buzzing around one's head. Keep swatting but they keep droning back, angrier each time.

People that use literally, basically and essentially when there is "insert filler" no need.

My GF's dog.

People who open the door of their car and bang it against mine, even when im sitting in the car. The ignorance and lack of respect is beyond my comprehension. Happened 3 times in the past month.

Yeah but, would the padding not, y'know, give your cleavage a boost? I'm just thinking of the way I'd usually wear jocks that keep the family jewels front and center, but then I'd be walking past a shop window and I'd catch sight of myself in side profile, and think ":eek: bulge! cringe!", wondering is that what other people see when they meet me... I bloody hope not, I'm never THAT pleased to meet other people! :pac:

I used work with a load of women before, and there's a reason I stopped wearing jeans - I'm not a fan of baggy jeans, and the 501's apparently left very little to the imagination

:pac:

Opened a box of Crunchy Nut Honey & Nut Clusters, the clusters are a bit too big for my liking.

I was going to an exhibition and wore a corset dress with a bit of a flared skirt. Crossing Dawson Street and woosh here goes the wind. Yeah, that thing had a mind of its own as well. I tried to hold it down and pretend like nothing happened. I thought I did well until some lad shouted 'yo Marilyn!' and my brother started laughing "czechlin, everybody saw that, EVERYBODY" :mad:

I resorted to pencil skirts on windy days. Although they can cause all sorts of other situations but let's not go there...:pac:
