Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Condescending old people who think putting "young man" or "young lady" into a sentence, when trying to get the upper hand in an argument with anybody more than 20 years younger than them, makes their point superior to anything that can now be said to them.
We have a wealth of experience and examples at our fingertips, so let's use them.

Websites that take forever to open. I think it's my tablet or the broadband but all other sites open instantly.

We were on hols in Greece a couple of years ago, and one of my daughters was with us. we went out to dinner, ordered our food, waiter asked Mrs E and I what we would have to drink (a couple of pints) and then he turns to Mrs E and say "And what will we get for the little girl?) she pipes up with " A Bacardi & Coke".........I am sure thought we were terrrible parents, plying the kid with booze...................she was 26!!:D

I have a really soft voice. Like I sound like I'm about 6 years old. Anyway, we were on holiday in California and went to this hotel. I was 21 I think. Got into bed and the bed/mattress was wet. I called housekeeping and explained the situation. The lady on the phone was like "okay honey, could I speak with your mommy?"

She'd have needed some very special powers to speak to my mother lol

Just put tyre shine on the car and ran out after 3 wheels. Bummer but at least it was Mrs S's car and not mine!

My O.H getting a weeks notice in her job yesterday, (she's shattered)

Realising that I'm the odd creep on the bus. I'm sitting across from the stairs on the bus, I get a text that makes me grin, so to my left I see something so I turn to see what it was and it's this pretty girl standing at the bottom step and I'm still grinning as I turned to look at her. So I look and she smiled back, but I seem to have forgotten I was already wearing a ****eating grin, so I smiled even more back at her, looked away so as not to make anymore eye contact and was still smiling a lot looking around the bus, now I'm worried maybe she thinks im a bit odd

You should see me on a bus. I'm not used to it, so I'm like Mork.

I see a few laaads from Edenderry with Ferrari back-axles under greyhound trailers, if that's any good to you??

I wouldn't be trusting the lads from Edenderry with a donkey never mind anutjing ferari related. They're not cultured like the tullamore boys

Nope, it's a fricken disgrace, knowing what she done in and for the place she worked. but had a bit of a T.A before Christmas, with annual leave and pay.

I've added a pigmy goat to my 5 year plan list. It looks like a hybrid of a calf and a goat. TA I can't own a zoo like that kid in the life of pi

I know this is going to make me sound selfish but I can't bear to be around anyone with cancer. Last year I was queuing in the bank and a lady in front of me with a bandana discussed her treatment and her plans to be alive for her daughters communion with a lady behind me who she obviously knew, she was so positive but lost her hair and had that distinctive yellow tinge on her skin. I felt sick to my stomach and felt like leaving because I thought I was going to get sick.

I've tqlk r before about not sleeping and sleep paralysis. When that happens to me I always dream an old lady with yellow skin and a hollow face (strong cheek bones) is grabbing me and won't let me go. Although she has all her hair, I think she is what cancer would look like if it was a person. That's pretty much what keeps me awake at night.

Anyway I missed my dad a lot today and its sat night and on sat nights me and him always went to his local. So on way home from work I called into his local and this old guy, I knew him from him making small talk with daddy Lexie, came up to me talking to me, looking pure shook and telling me all about his cancer diagnosis and treatment and him not telling his 14 year old and how he just hopes it kills him soon.

I can't even explain how angry I am, about him being sick, him not caring how he should be taking care of himself (he's still a raging alcoholic) and I feel annoyed for his child who'll never get the chance to support her dad or get to cherish time she has with him.

**** cancer.

Yup, Lexie, F**k cancer:(. I know a woman who despite having cancer, still drinks like a fish , and smokes like a chimney, despite her family's best efforts to persuade her to stop. She has kids the same age as mine, and it more than TA's me what she is putting them through, by not minding herself now .

On one hand I say, **** it. I firmly believe once you're diagnosed, **** it. Do EVERYTHING you ever wanted to do. It's a death sentence, it might not kill you now but it will get you. But, when you have people to get better for, who needs you, the least you can do is try prolong it. I'm conflicted. But jesus, **** cancer. I couldn't believe how positive they all were, it's a horrid place but at the same time the nicest place in the hospital, towards the end when my dad went in I didn't want him anywhere but oncology but it's horrible watching so many people trying to fight so hard against a disease they'll never beat

Lexie, there's always hope. I know. My nearest and dearest had cancer over 20 years ago. She did everything she was told to do and today is fit and well. It was a rough 3 years but by God we beat it together. You would never guess, to see her now, how bad she was back then.

On another note: I think we need a separate thread just on the life and times of Lexie. You are both an enigma and a tonic.
