Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

When you buy something and it arrives and it's not in anyway like what you thought it would be. I bought a coat. I could fit four heads in it. I look like a cross between an Eskimo and a deranged hunter wearing my merchandise on my head.

idiot parents at the school play. I swear I was the only one without a camcorder, huge Nikon camera or full size i-pad. even worse they kept standing up every few seconds blocking the view :-(
(the play was for 1st class, so it wasn't some major west end show)

That "in the ghetto" song. Catchy song. I like it and all but who says ghetto? It's "da hood".

That's probably one of Elvis's greatest songs.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 19-12-2014 06:17PM

And it's a great song! Fantastic and catchy. It's just the ghetto part.

I wish I could 'thank' this twice!
On the other hand it would be better posted in a different thread called 'Major things that could just about send you over the edge'

What's the matter with people nowadays that they can't live in the moment and enjoy a live show for what it is without peering at it through a 3" screen and waving their iPads around the place? You see them everywhere - at street entertainment, matches, concerts - even at fatal road accidents apparently.

What are you going to do with that when you get home? Put it up on YouTube? Show it to the neighbours? Trust me they are not interested!

I wouldn't mind but most schools offer a DVD of the school plays anyway. Although even the quality of that is slightly ruined by all those fools blocking the view......

I hear you! Was at the middle child's montessori play yesterday and I'm surprised I was able to stop myself from knocking a few parents out.

We had to wait outside the hall while they got ready and when we were finally called in, well it was a free for all, with people trampling, elbowing and knocking each other out of the way. Then the recording devices began to make their appearance and the frantic, continuous waving at their child while in a half standing half sitting position. This position is abandoned fairly early on when they go into full on stand mode, not giving a fiddlers whose view they are blocking.

There was one dad there, a nice enough guy, but he lost the complete run of himself. He is well over 6ft and he ended up standing on one of the benches the whole way through so he could watch his 3 year old daughter stand around dressed as a Christmas tree while singing off key.

Writing Christmas cards. I know it makes me sound lazy but it's just such a boring task.

Can't stop laughing. I know what you mean though!

People saying "This time next week it'll all be over".
FOOK OFF.

Aren't they the same people that always say 'It's not a bit like Christmas this year.'?

I went into our new Iceland today. What a pile of sh*te!!. My head was full of the old Kerry Katona ads, a table laden with every kind of dessert imaginable. Absolutely shag all selection, was gutted. Pizzas bloody everywhere though. Also, I kept trying to slide the lids of the freezers over, like everywhere else, but you have to lift them.

Why is it impossible to get a nice gift box of a nice red and white wine?? I couldn't find one anywhere, and I know I got some a few years back. So much easier to wrap too, rather than single bottles. Wrapping, that's another TA, I would nearly pay someone to do my wrapping:'(

People RSVPing weeks in advance to something then just before event, recieving texts with many excuses.

Wrapping presents aargh

Friday night TV! Absolutely nothing worth watching. 100+ channels of nothing.

That reminds me of a Top Tip from Viz years ago:

"Fellas. Next time you have to wrap up a present, don't, because you're sh1te at it.

Give it to the wife and she'll do it properly with extra girlie bows and fiddly bits while you're down the pub."

Dry shampoo. You'd be better off just washing your hair properly. Took me about 15 minutes this morning to get my hair into some sort of order with it. I'd have it washed and dried in the time it took.

Getting the lumps from the barf bag you left on the headboard out of it was it????

I'm single and Gay- and not the Will & Grace kind- very macho when it comes to neatness

Its the opposite in my house..OH has the patience to wrap neatly but has to be waited on hand and foot while doing it:rolleyes:Pass the sissors Colser..Wheres the sellotape?...Hold that corner down there..Turns the present around and measures out the exact size paper he needs to cut:mad: FFS just wrap it up in a full sheet and be done with it...it will just be ripped off anyway..Lifes too short for that kinda thing:D

Rubberlegs · 20-12-2014 10:33AM

I hate waking up with that woozy hangover feeling, when it's a week since I last had a few drinks. Is it possible to have a food hangover? We had dinner very early yesterday, as OH had work night out. By 8 I was pigging Doritos, and at 10, had a sandwich. Or maybe it's from the fumes off of him when he got home . Either way I feel like crap:'(

I have the woozy feeling too but I know why I have it..Me and OH have a child free house for the weekend so I will wake up the same tomorrow hopefully:D

The way that people can be vultures with gossip. On the bus home yesterday some bint was gossiping loudly on her phone about some young person from the community who had committed suicide during the week. Absolutely tragic and I can't begin to imagine what the persons family are going through. To listen to her it was the best bit of gossip she's heard all year. I couldn't help wondering what impact it would have on someone who was related to the deceased or friends with them, who was on that bus listening to the bitch gossiping away about it.
