The fact that they're making an American version of The Chase, you just know it's going to be awful.

Not being 'allowed' get something done like I'm a child. It's so frustrating being told there's no need for something, when you're so conscious of it and makes you feel super insecure. It's head wrecking when it's brushed off as "you're being silly".

I have wrinkles. Really deep ones on my forehead. I got Botox in work in July. Was grand, skin looked great. Now I can see lines again, I took a photo yesterday of me wearing illuminous yellow eyeshadow and all that caught my eye was my wrinkly forehead. The Botox dr is coming to the salon in a week and a half. I put my name down in the appointment book and my manager is after telling me she won't let me get it done.

If I leave aside the fact I'm surprised she can still move her face she's had so much, so her blatant hypocrisy, she's telling me how I feel. "Ah you're not self conscious, you're being silly. You can't notice it". Yes I can. "No, you can't. It's expression lines." No it's not.

Oh right so now I need to be told how I feel

Even worse is pizza-chin - when the entire slice's-worth of cheese slides off the pizza with the first bite and drapes itself over your chin like a molten beard

danrua01 · 17-10-2014 02:56PM

when you try to spread love and peace and such things and then people crucify you and completely misinterpret everything you've said and start wars and such over it. so trivial but so annoying!

Its a bitch to clean out of a beard

Jim Diamond's voice in the Diamond Living radio ads. Why does he talk like that???

Actually, while I'm at it, Johnny Lyons, who does the sports news on 98fm is the same. I actually have to switch stations when either of them come on.

When you're looking forward to something all day, order it for lunch, and when it comes out, you just don't feel hungry anymore

Oh yes! You've taken a bite of pizza and you look down and you can see the cheese-berg (like an iceberg but cheese) sliding off the pizza so now you have to open your mouth wider to accommodate it (ahem) but you can't 'cos it's fcuking hot so it drapes on your chin and burns ya.

Pizza's a dangerous food, I tells ya.
Safer with a bag of chips.

Pizza Cheese is as hot as molten lava

But still not as hot as the cheese in a toastie made in a proper sandwich maker that seals the edges.

Add tomato in one of those bad boys and you're actually taking your life in your hands...

You know when you order takeout too much when the lady at the Chinese asks if you can't cook

indiscriminate use of the term hero

a person needs to deserve the status of hero

Person who dives into a deep river to rescue a person or animal - hero
Firefighter who runs into a burning building to rescue a child - hero
Firefighter who holds a firehose from a safe distance - not a hero, just doing what he was trained to do.

Soldier who rescues his platoon that have been captured by enemy forces - hero
Soldier who is sent home with shrapnel - not a war hero, just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Members of the police/Guards - not heros just by being members of this profession
more likely they like job security, excitement, and possibly kicking ass too.

I feel the same about the use of the word "brave" in some contexts...but I'm not er...brave enough to point out any specifics

Stinky people on public transport. I got on the bus today and there was a guy who lives locally, 15 miles from where I got the bus, who got on REEKING of BO. Honestly, I've smelled less offensive pig slurry. He stank like he hadn't washed in at least a month. A couple in the seat in front of him actually wrapped scarves over their noses and mouths to try to avoid the smell. I put a tissue over my nose and mouth to try to block the stench. 15 miles of trying not to smell him. I really believe that he shouldn't have been allowed on the bus stinking like that. Every time I see the guy he is wearing the same green t-shirt and cheap grey tracksuit bottoms.:mad:

When I was in college, I mentioned to a module lecturer that a teaching assistant had revolting BO. not a problem normally except when receiving one-on-one tuition.
This was not sweat, this was something a dozen times more vile.
The TA (male computer-science PhD student) was well dressed and respectable, but the smell was indescribable. He enjoyed curries I believe;)
The lecturer told me straight out that there was nothing he could do about it. So apparently there was no protocol for dealing with this sort of issue.

Very similar to the overuse of the term 'legend'. Qualification criteria has now dropped so low, if you manage to block a toilet with an over sized log, or knock back a litre of beer in one go. You are apparently a 'legend'.

Stinky people anywhere, agree it's an extra penance on a train or bus, where you can't get away.
I was served in a shop recently by a guy who stank to high heaven, I felt sorry for the guy stuck behind the counter with him all day. Ugh. At least I could hold my breath, until I paid, and then run for the door.

Bought a dress after work yesterday, tried it on, looked grand. Just a plain navy dress. Going shopping today with the future MIL and SIL, so I put it on, still looked grand. A bit on the short side but its Saturday, ill live a little on the dark side.

All grand until I went to sit down. It's so short you can see my underwear. Why no make clothes with some length no more, or at least if its going to be that indecent when you're sitting down, it should look shorter when I'm standing up

dellas1979 · 18-10-2014 12:14PM

I was in the office the other day, and my colleague beside me started chomping into chocolates beside me.

"Ummm" they said, "these are delicious" (without offering even a sliver of one).

Yesterday, I was at the shop. Bought some chocs and left them in my drawer. I was opening and closing the drawer whenever I wanted a chocolate.

Next thing I get "whats that in your drawer? Oh they look nice". Choc, I say and shove it delightfully into my mouth.

You reep what you sow ladies and gents. Reep what you sow.
