    When you ring someone's phone and their voicemail says "Hi, I'm out of the office until (some date two or three months ago)"

    It's a HR office, obviously.

    I really, desparately need a wee. I'm on the point of bursting. I've to walk (waddle) through an open plan office with 50 people in it and a wide corridor area after that. And I am wearing grey trousers, so leakage (should it happen) will be very obvious. FML. :(

    I booked an appointment about a week and a half ago for my son, my husband confirmed it on Monday and when I got there yesterday evening it was double booked and we had to go home. I was annoyed but didn't give out too much because I know the girl who runs the place, but I wish she had thought to ring me before I spent half hour in traffic trying to get to the place and another half hour home. It was such a waste of my time.

    I'm curious how you let yourself get so full, if you are so close to the bathroom!! :)

    I was busy... and forgot... I normally go after my tea break but I went back to my desk a different way this morning. Still here BTW. Hoping I can stand up soon and grab some papers and pretend to read them as I walk slowly to the bathroom. (I'm an easily embarrassed, shy person!)

    It's not a waste of time and I never said that. I said don't moan that as a pensioner you can't afford to eat if you are buying food for ferel cats.

    It's a sad fact of life that quite often those that give the most are those who can afford it the least. So the person would go without in order to prevent an animal starving to death on the street and you're pissed that you had to listen to that person saying that they have very little money. If only there were more people like the complaining pensioner who feeds the ferals and fewer people who have feck all compassion for their fellow creatures.

    I did it. I got there without spilling a drop. But I had to walk very slowly.
    On the way to the bathrooms I met one of my managers. He said to me "You're walking a bit strange there!" I replied "Hurt my leg!" Now I have to walk like that every time I pass his office today. :o

    Times like that I'm reminded of the advantages of wearing black trousers all the time :D

    Not any more TA: People slagging me off for wearing the same clothes every day -

    They are not the same clothes, this is a different black trousers, a different white shirt, and if you look really closely at this navy tie, you'll see it's not the same navy tie as I was wearing yesterday that I pulled the threads out of when it got stuck to my velcro strap on my rain jacket... :mad:

    I feel better now having got that off my chest :p

    There are a couple of houses on our road that have their trees and decorations up already. I sometimes wonder is it showing off "Look what I have" sort of thing. I was told by one of them that she has had her cleaners in and all.

    I wonder if she's one of those people who clean up so the cleaner doesn't think they live like pigs.

    She has a cleaner that comes in twice a week and also someone to mind the children, but I think she had hired someone to give the place a total going over for Christmas which is really funny (she has so much staff:P). She would be the type of person to have the childminder help her clean for the cleaner. She does have more money then sense and likes to let you know.

    Great post and so true. Thank you.... I share my food with my adopted critters, five stray including one feral and they come first. They are family and so appreciative and gracious. And yes, it is always the poor who give as they know what poverty and hunger are. We find this with fundraising .

    When people bring babies in. It's not so much the hysterics that are TA - it's the f.ucking trickle of hysterics. It goes on and on and on as each person comes over and gets hysterical individually. Why can't they all come over and be hysterical at the same time?? Is there an hysterical queue? Just when one person finishes another comes over and starts the whole thing all over again.

    Still on the subject of Christmas trees, all the hassle of moving furniture to put the tree up. We have 2 sofas in the living room so one of them has to move to the kitchen and we put an armchair in it's place. So we have to haul the sofa out of the living room door, angle it enough to get it through the kitchen door and then get the armchair in. It's actually quite stressful as Mr Pumpkinseeds has to do the worst of the hauling before tackling the tree. I've found that plying him with booze before, during and afterwards is the key to taking the stress out of it.:D

    The best way to take the stress away is to not move all that furniture!

    This, so much. We've so many it's like Noah's ark. Some are strays that cannot be homed but still come around for a bit of grub on a cold night. My Dad is 67 and lives on the state pension, and I've seen him spend his last few bob on a Thursday buying a bag of dried food. "Not much", he says and then laddles a spoonful of homemade stock over it - "but it'll warm them up". He's the best :D

    Oh and for those complaining, bear in mind that although our animals are precious to us, they are all other people's "rubbish" so perhaps you should point your finger at them, rather than the good souls who seek to clean up their mess.

    Trivially annoyed that one can only allowed be trivially annoyed as long as people don't perceive your posts as hoping stray animals die. :roll eyes:
    Also annoyed that 2 people have been run off the thread in one day

    You need to request access to it from this Mod:

    It's got a thread like this one, but with actual annoyances as opposed to trivial ones
