Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Hope it's okay to start the new thread (not sure if mods have to do it).

I posted this right at the end of the last thread so just carrying it over as it has me driven demented.

I have a question on this subject.

I used to work with someone who used to say 'PARDON', in such a tone and manner that it sounded like the rudest word ever!

Sounds like something you'd take a course of antibiotics for..Not tonight dear, my pardons are at me...

Haha, maybe I should have suggested it to her. She used to absolutely snarl it, there is no other way to describe it.

People who say "what do you do?" or "where do you work?" - it's not like its any great secret but it just annoys me as its such a cop out of a conversation maker. Unless someone works in a lab perfecting a new strain of ebola to kill mankind or shines spoons for a living I really dont care what they do, and I'm pretty sure they feel the same way about me.

Also, fifteen kids waiting at the bus stop this morning. Could hardly believe my eyes as I approached. Buses are bad enough. Kids are bad enough. But now the world wants to mix the two, at 08:20 on a Monday?! Mother of all that's divine and holy, I can think of nothing worse! Although, at least none of them were wearing flight socks or carrying Nolans bags with them

Same here. I've pulled someone up on this...'what does x work at', where it makes no difference to them anyway. It's as if they are deciding whether or not the person is worth knowing depending on whether they perfect new strains of Ebola or shine spoons. I've actually asked this same person politely, why do you ask that... Cue, confused face.
I also lived beside someone, for quite some time, with whom I only ever exchanged 'hello', and the first time she got into conversation with me she asked where I worked. No big secret, none of her business either.

Into a bowl of uncooked rice and put it in the airing cupboard for a few hours. That'll draw the moisture out of it. Dropped my phone more times in the bath than I'd care to remember, and the hair dryer method worked, but the rice method doesn't risk melting the contacts on the PCB.

Have you ever tried Optimist? It's a spray that you spray on closed eyelids and it's really refreshing. I swear by it.
Even better is Clarymist, if you can get that one in particular.

I needed drops for very irritated eyes but I'll remember this.
My flatmate came home just after I posted here last night so she had to do the deed. We both were equally freaked out but it worked out. Guess that's what best friends are for, to put eyedrops in one's eyes

Bloody hell, I was thinking "But Prep H is for bum blisters, who would be nuts enough to put a steroid cream anywhere near their eyes?". I should learn never to underestimate some people -

The part that made me laugh was the shark liver oil, I'll bet it tastes nothing like the tablespoons of cod liver oil I'd say every Irish child was reared on! It did give you fabulous gruaig though!

I rem reading about Prep H being good as an eye cream. Never tried it though.

I've got a nasty burst abcess on my left bum cheek. It took 2 tramadol to mostly subdue the pain, now I could happily go back to bed for a snooze but I've got an engineer calling sometime this afternoon. Got bugger all sleep with the abcess last night:(

My mother only managed to force 1 spoon of that into me as a child, I promptly brought it back up on to the kitchen floor and that was the end of that. Somethings you just can't force yourself to swallow:D

People being jelly of the trivial clique.

But aren't cliques meant to be all non-welcoming and sh*t? I don't know I think they're an alright bunch to be honest. :cool:

Yikes. That sounds horrible. Sorry your post had to be in the middle of a load of bum jokes.
