And front foglights still on 3 weeks after the last fog! Only bettered by those driving with no lights during fog.
I believe driving annoyances alone could fill TTTAY 27.

The fact that I used to be able to go into the supermarket and come out wanting to have my tubes tied, and now I'm actually broody. Maybe broody is a bit strong, but I'm definately broken. I don't know if it's because of my best friends child (she's two, and adores me) or if it's because I'm getting old and its literally all my oh talks about.

I went to see my friend in maternity in August, and I was nearly afraid to touch anything incase it was contagious. Now when I knock on my friends door and hear her little one yelling my name from inside, having her grab my hand and telling me to sit on the ground while she pours me pretend tea, good Lord. Can't be dealing, finding myself maybe they're not so bad afterall

Seen the Black Fiat Punto this morning that I mentioned sometime ago, 5.30am on the M7, in pitch black, Still only has 1 back light one front side light on, and STILL has the flippin antlers on the side windows,
While im here, why don't the cats eyes on our dark roads with dodgy barely there white lines work, they are there but don't reflect at all, even the ones on the m7 barely shine. why, why WHYYYYYYY???

This might be more of an awkward thing but anyway...

Visiting a relative in hospital this evening and one of the other patients had to use the commode (fair enough, needs must), but is there anything more awkward than sitting there while someone farts and splutters into a bowl-the noise echoing around the room....while you talk about nothing...anything to cover the noise...then the putrid stench fills the room.

Followed by flowery air-freshener.
Not saying there's anything wrong with a patient using a commode- of course not-it's just awkward!

Sweet Jesus!! That made me laugh out loud

This thread though.

I'm DYING with a cold (although I'm pretty sure it may be the start of a flu because muscles I didn't know I had are hurting), and God I need to sneeze so bad, but I'm on a train. My mouths opening and closing like a goldfish, and my eyes are crying, in attempts to hold these sneezes in. I am clearly a very attractive sight, but at least I haven't sneezed.

Now if I didn't know about this thread, I could have sneezed away without a second thought.

whiskeyman · 06-01-2015 09:38AM

Why won't the stupid air con in my office work properly!!
It was blowing a hot tropical gale when I came in an hour ago, now it's freezing me with an icy blast! I'll probably be dying with a cold by the end of the week...

I get on the Luas yesterday evening and can immediately sense a woman beside me staring at me. I give her a minute or so and she is still doing it so I lock eyes and glare, and what does she do, only give me a big genuine smile like we have just shared a moment!

Being a polite person, I can't physically stop myself from giving a smile back, so there we are smiling away at each other. She's all delighted, smiling away so I have to make the decision to break the eye contact battle. And for the rest of the journey, I still feel her staring me out of it every so often and I can't bring myself to engage in the weird stare/smile moment we had going on so I have to let her away with it. 'sake!

Chancers on adverts. Someone made an offer on one of my things, just a tenner but I agree to get rid of it, we arrange a time and they don't show up. Checked his profile and noticed he made offers on about 30 similar things and had most accepted, wtf?! Next person wants me to deliver it as well. Ugh I think I'll just put it in the attic instead.

I'm about to put something on adverts. Have never used it before. Should I be worried about this type of carry on? I have a feeling I will have many a trivial annoyance to report after dipping my toe into the world of adverts/buy and sell:(

Was heading to the doctor yesterday and, when looking for a parking space, already see cars parked up on the footpath, and think to myself I'll never find a space. Turn the corner and right in front of my GP's practice is a space. In front of this space some fella in a big black BMW is sitting waiting for his wife and kids to get out of the car. I sit and wait patiently. The wife and childer get out. He sits. And sits. I can't go past him cos there are cars coming this way...

Finally after what felt like the whole of 2015, he drives on and I get the space.

I'm not bothered that he sat for a minute or two, but to drop his wife and kids off he was taking up the whole lane, not even pulled in, meaning even if I wasn't waiting to park, he'd help up the flow of traffic. Eejit!

Therein lies the problem. The only difference between a hedgehog and a BMW is hedgehogs have the pricks on the outside...

If I can tell that you are wearing royal blue boxers with a pink flamingo print on them, then you are (a) standing too close to me and (b) need to pull your tracksuit bottoms up...

It occurred to me as I was lying awake in the early hours, that I don't know one theme tune to any of the programmes that I watch. Everything is fast forwarded through theses days, the theme tunes and ads. It kind of made me a bit sad. I can remember most of them from the 70s/80s, as a child. All I have to hear is Magnum PI, or Hawaii 5-0, The A Team, or one of them , and I am right back there again. I started feeling really sorry for the youth of today, and this TA'd me because I should have been sleeping . Am wrecked now

I wish these were the kinds of thoughts that occurred to me when I was lying awake in the early hours. The night is dark and full of terrors.

My OH is away at the moment. Truth be told I am kind of enjoying the break. I can do what I want (within the confines of work, study and the usual limiting factors such as money and a conscience) - sharing a bottle of wine with Dad just because it's Monday and f.ucking miserable, having the entire bed to myself and being able to sleep with socks and a jumper on etc but you know, the odd phonecall would be nice. Since she left I can count on one hand the amount of times we've spoken. There's always some problem like, "I waded into the sea with my phone and now it doesn't work"

Hmmmm, is that why you are texting me from it? And yet when I call, it goes straight through to voicemail - I wasn't f.ucking born yesterday you know, I do know what flight mode is! Then there's the "landline" in her relatives house - I keep getting through to confused Brazilians who don't know why this poor foreign girl is calling and speaking gibberish. I send a message on facebook and get a reply ten hours later. Eventually last night I messaged and said that I would love to talk to her but she is making it f.ucking impossible so I will see her next month when she's home. Can't be dealing with this rubbish.

Eugh. We were watching one of my all time favourites at the weekend - As Good as it gets - and my mum kept dropping in comments like "he's a really nasty man isn't he?"..."that's not very nice is it?"... as my Dad and I chuckled away at the sheer genius and wonder of Jack Nicholsan's Melvin Udall. Melvin Udall is the ultimate crank, my hero. And mum, "it costs nothing to be nice you know" - I'm thinking, yes and it also costs nothing to be a scathing b.itch and cut someone off at the source so that they leave you alone forever more

Occasionally I have tried that fluffy, embrace the world cr.ap and tbh it's more toruble than it's worth because when you engage someone they just keep badgering you
