    When people say napkins instead of the beautiful highlighted word above

    When I hear the word napkin, I think of some English gentleman in a tophat tucking the thing into the collar of his shirt. :D

    My housemate keeps putting strong smelling items in the fridge, not covered up, and it actually affects the taste of my chocolate. Onion flavoured milka for me

    I insist on zip and seal bags. The stench of blue cheese hitting me every time I opened the fridge door was just too much to put up with. :D

    Serviette is horrible though! I'd say napkin, although my top hat is past it's best these days. :)

    I was always under the impression that serviette was particular to a paper napkin, and napkin was the preserve of a linen one. I've no idea how I came up with that so I'm probably wrong. :)

    When someone ignores your "No Salesmen Please" sign and says "I know about your sign, but it would be irresponsible of me not to tell you about the great smart meter offer we have".

    Hoovering today and undid the top flat bit (so I've just got the pole part now) so I could get at the corners of the room....big string of hair & dust all tangled and hanging from the pole.
    It icked me to pull it out and bin it.

    Same goes for the hair that gathers in the plughole. It's icky and you know what?
    It's all mine. Can't blame anyone else.

    One of my friends who I hang out with regularly. She's a mature, smart, funny woman - which is what makes it even more surprising to me when she sneezes into her bare hand. Not only does she sneeze into her hand, but she never even washes it after, or so much as makes use of a tissue, before touching anything else. And this happens all the time when she's over in my house. And then gives me a hug when we're saying goodbye.

    It's bothers THE LIVING CRAP outta me.

    But... Maybe there's nothing there...? Lots of sneezes don't produce anything.

    Aaaah now. Every time you sneeze you produce a heap of saliva particles at least. Probably mucous from the back of your throat too.

    :confused: no. Maybe I sneeze different to everyone else.


    Fcuking buses. Going to be late again because the real time (my arse) said it was due at 8.14 and was significantly later than that. Gah!!

    Anyone ever tried vomiting and smiling at the same time. Tis impossible. Your face just contorts into a sad clown mask for the duration of the expulsion.

    I've learned to yawn with my mouth closed because every time I open my mouth for a big yawn the OH sticks his finger in my mouth and messes me up.

    Email speak. For example, "join with me" :( It's JOIN me. The with is inherent in the join!

    When you go from one website to another and ads for the thing you were looking for on the first website appear on the second. Stop following me!!

    Also, the amout of LL's out there now looking for upwards of a thousand quid a month for dingy little dog boxes that are so dreary you just wanna throw yourself from a bridge. Not looking for anywhere but keeping an eye out for an ad for our last apt and "curious" to see if our LL was telling porkies about needing the place "for a relative" and some of the places that come up :eek: You can practically smell the damp and dreariness from the photos. I feel sorry for students coming to Dublin for the first time this year :(

    Also, the way there's never enough milk on your cereal in the beginning to reach all the flakes yet when you've finished the flakes there is always a surplus of milk :P

    Any meal deal that uses the words "choose"/"grab"/"pick"/"toss" fúck off with you now.

    Weirdly, when I click on the links the properties are already taken! :P

    I'd rather give the money to the parents than line a stranger's pocket. At least at home I wont catch scabies and my ironing gets done :P

    Most of them are way old, but the thread is still going I think so there should be plenty of new stuff to mock and be saddened by. :D

    I don't know how I'm not bald. I'd say 90% of the contents of my bins at home is hair.
