Trivial things that annoy you Part 43

Knickers wedged up bum. Quick recce to see if it is safe to extract. All clear. Wedgie removed. Great relief is short lived as one realises recce was not adequately carried out and extraction was witnessed by an audience.

People stealing food. Why? We are all working for a wage here, you do not need to steal food from your coworkers! I bet the fúcker who stole it is earning more than me too

Last week, half a carton of soup - would you be fúcking bothered? And yesterday, half a bagel. Half a fúcking bagel! Is this what some people have been reduced to? Were we all dragged up or something?

Fella kept stealing my Dad's lunch in work so he put crushed laxatives in the sandwich for the thief.
Didn't go ahead with my suggestion of razorblades though.

One of the joys of being a 42-year old white male is being able to perform under-trousers reconfigurations in broad daylight anywhere, and no-one takes a blind bit of notice of you, except for teenagers looking on sympathetically and occasionally throwing you a couple of peanuts. I like peanuts!

Worst are those ones that are neither knicker nor g-string. Kind of cover half the cheek - at least with a g-string you expect a bit of flossing at some point in the day but you'd expect better from pants with a few more square inches of lace/cotton. It's the small things that drive us insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane

Someone here opened a colleague's can of coke, drank half of it and put the half empty can back in the fridge.

Next time add a load of salt or p*ss into soup and see if you can teach them a lesson. You may have to lose some soup in the short term to solve in the problem in the longer term!

Why do people do it? It's like some kind of weird "I shall take this because it's free" mentality. They'd be shocked if you went and took a euro from their desk drawer or raided their wallet when it was left on the bathroom shelf - but it's the same thing - they know the food doesn't belong to them. They didn't buy it. The company didn't supply it. But they still fúcking take it.

Oh yeah, it's known as "Bucket Of Shít Syndrome", i.e. if a person has a bucket of shít, everyone who sees it wants one too, especially if it's free, regardless of whether or not they have an actual use for it, or even want it.

I joined Unislim. It's great, really maintainable and I'm enjoying it. Except for the way they say yum. You get a certain number of yums a day. Some things are free, you have to yum others. It drives me mental when someone says 'Can I have white bread?' and someone else says 'No, you have to yum it.' Or 'Thats a yum'.

Then there's a chatroom to ask questions and talk to others about it. There's one girl who is just an idiot and angers me every time she posts. 'Buyin a blender for €13, what can I use it for? Want to make sure I can get use out of it.' Soup, smoothies, chopping veg, sauces, salsa, loads of stuff.

'Ah right, Im saving for a slow cooker and a blender. Really want to make sure I get the use out of it. Dont want to be wastin me €30 if I'm not going to get the use out of it. Anyone here have one, and do you get the use out of it? Maybe Ill look up recipes online, to make sure I get the use out of it.

SHUT THE F*CK UP.

Haha she sounds like a simpleton. Anyone ever try mash potatoes in a blender? I have never been as disgusted by anything as much, it looked like regurgitated puke, like a thick creamy paste

Then she posted 'Really wish I could afford the blender and slow cooker'
Is she waiting for someone to offer her one or something??

I love a good creamy mash, but trying to scrape it out of a blender is my idea of hell!

Pumpkinseeds · 23-09-2014 10:48AM

I have to have regular blood tests to monitor my liver function etc. Almost every time that the docs are checking the results they ask if I drink, duh, no I don't as I'm not allowed to while taking the meds I'm being monitored for. They might as well just come out and ask me if I'm an alky. I never used to drink much anyway. Apparently the levels aren't very high so I'm not really sure why they keep bringing it up.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 23-09-2014 10:51AM

Walkers crisps. The OH bought the multipack and me being the pig I am have horsed into a packet. Except when I opened it up there was about 6 miserable looking crisps down the bottom of the bag. Next time I'm on a plane ill bring a packet of crisps with me, and if the plane goes down at least I know there's about half an hours worth of oxygen in the walkers bag.

C-words.

Sounds like a poster on a forum I used to use.
'Would love a cup of tea but too lazy to get up'
'A cup of tea and a digestive while watching coronation street would be lovely'
'My brother is still here drinking a cup of tea, wish I had one'
'Just made myself tea, sitting here drinking it now'

Now, I'm paraphrasing but that's the jist of it.

'I woke up this morning and took my pill. I went for a walk then I had a boiled egg for breakfast, and had a lovely hot shower'
'Just straightened my hair after my lovely hot shower'
'Feel great after getting my walk in so early'

You'd actually want to punch her in the goolies if she had any

When you get tea in a little pot and the same thing leaks no matter what way you pour it.

Roommates not cleaning in the two weeks I've been gone. Yes, it's tidy, but no, that doesn't count as clean! Take your hair out of the shower drain! And don't get me started on leaving empty toilet roll in the toilet roll holder. Why can you just put the new one in there instead of leaving it sitting around?!

Vel · 23-09-2014 11:16AM

Since my son started school a couple of years ago, our weekends seem to be spent shuttling him around to various social functions, play-dates and birthday parties whilst our own social life is hanging off a cliff.

I joined Weight Watchers after two of my pregnancies to help try to shift the last stubborn bits of baby weight. It was grand, it worked. But what struck me was that there were a core group of women who had been going for years and yet never seemed to lose the weight.

I went on my first and last pregnancy so there was a 3.5 year gap and there were still a few of the same women there from my first time around. They were cliquey, really vocal and annoying during the discussion part, sharing their tips, and I could imagine them being intimidating to certain people and yet clearly Weight Watchers wasn't working for them. I'd imagine some of them are still there now another 2 years later imparting their wisdom. I soon learned to just go in, get weighed and get out!

Czarcasm · 23-09-2014 11:26AM

I'm all for educating women about their mental, physical and sexual health, but the whole performing smear tests live on morning tv is just that one step too far and screams exploitation more than education.

It's like that embarrassing bodies crap, pure titillation tv, and because I'm sure I'm not the only one changes the channel, the actual message people should be learning, is lost.

I really can't stand these latest exploiting people tv shows disguised as 'raising awareness' :rolleyes:

Vel · 23-09-2014 11:26AM

Chatting to people, usually women, and they are blatently and unashamedly looking you up and down as the conversation goes on.
