I know a couple like that. They have an unruly 4 year old who runs riot around the house when they visit.

Last time they were around the kid was slamming the kitchen door repeatedly and the parents started saying "Tommy stop, Barely doesn't like you doing that"

WTF! Nobody likes him doing that, it's earsplittingly loud and fcuking annoying as hell and it's damaging our door to boot.
Tommy, we all don't like you doing that, it's not just me.

I'm sick of being the bogeyman for this kid's parents to try to frighten him into behaving like normal for a few minutes!

Beats what I heard my unruly godson being told a few years ago - "Stop that, you're making baby reindeer cry" :pac::pac::D:eek::rolleyes:

I was getting the form witnessed when this Dad walks in with 2 small children and announces to them "Do you see that man there", pointing at the Guard, "He's going to lock you up in jail if you don't leave your seatbelts on, isn't that right?"

The Guard looked at bit confused and eventually replied "Yes, that's right".

The guy just turned around and walked off with the kids.

That's hilarious

I hate when I get e-mails in work with a 'Request a read receipt' thing on it. I know it's very easy not to send the receipt but why do people request it in the first place (apart from the obvious)? I see it as a "I want to know when you read my e-mail because I'm ever so important and you should always read my e-mails first'.

How's that for trivial?

The subtlety of this reply is a genius I'll only ever aspire to...

Being reminded of that is trivially annoying :pac:

Accidentally posting TA's in another thread

Has anyone done this? It's hugely embarrassing. I just realised I had what look like loony f.ucking posts out of the TTTAY context in a thread about landlords - something about Sarah Brightman and a Toyota Yaris ad. Cringe..... Everyone else no doubt scratching their heads thinking, well she had a reasonable point but then she just kind of lost the plot....Plus the thread is closed now so I can't edit or delete which means my embarrassing mistake is immortalised on Boards forever.

...and also I wasted energy being annoyed that my posts were removed from here for no reason. Thought maybe Sarah Brightman was a mod on the side.

+1 on that. I had a policy, before I retired, never to send a read receipt. I saw so many emails with a circulation to every staff member (more than 1000 people) with read receipts on them. Madness!
Or people who replied to all, when the reply was only relevant to the original sender!

Is it because single people are pleasuring themselves? I thought about that but then dismissed it! :P

As in, I'd thought about that as a possible joke, rather than thought about doing it myself. Ahem.

Not having the courage to tell annoying people to shut the fcuk up because they are really nice and I feel guilty for saying anything bad to them.

The guy who sits beside me in work is Chinese and is the most kind and polite person you could ever meet. However, he never stops complaining about his phone battery. Every day, I get at least 3 updates about his battery percentage.

"I charged it last night, spent 2 hours on the bus watching youtube videos and it's at 60% already!"

"It was at 60% 2 hours ago and I have only made two phone calls and now it's at 50%."

"Look, I have to charge it now because it's at 40% and it won't last for the commute home."

Considering how much he uses, his battery isn't actually that bad, and I've tried telling him that. I've tried making subtle hints and making light fun of him such as "Ha, you should start a blog. phonebatterypercentage.blogspot.ie. I will follow it". However, he doesn't get the hint. Grrrrr

I have to admit, I do have a fondness for Baileys...

But recipes that call for "leftover" baileys or wine??

Someone just commented "you're smiling" (is it that rare?!) and deciding to bat him off with an intellectually lazy platitude I replied, "ah sure they pay me extra to smile" and he looked at me strangely until I realised that sounded like something a prostitute might say

Oh God

Oh no it's just from something I got done in work but I bruise so easily and the poor girl doing it got a fright.

Or you know, when you take them to task and say "you are being rude". You hear, "Oh I am not rude, it;s just the way I am.., my manner"

"No, you are a rude fcuker who has been allowed get it away with it!! Change your manner"

Also, people who snap at you for daring to have a differing option to themselves.

When I was four or five my mother tried that on me with a policeman in England because I wouldn't stop trying to climb up a lamp post. He looked at me and said "Oh nooooo, you're too young to be arrested".

A few months later whilst I trying to climb up another lamp post I nearly ripped off my thumb on the sharp edge of that metal tape they use to hold up road signs. 20 stitches later, I learned my lesson and gained a nice scar.

When you can't decide whether or not you're hungry. I was running around all day and hadn't had so much as a coffee since 8am. I was starving, now I'm not and the evening is wearing on. Can't decide whether to go ahead and make some quorn chilli with a jacket potato or not.

Pumpkinseeds · 26-11-2014 08:26PM

Well the jacket potato exploded during cooking, so I'm slumming it with oven chips tonight.:(
