People making bull**** conversation. I had the most horrific day, the hardest and most emotional day ever, and just trying to get myself home is a huge effort yet some aul one starts in my ear about how Her daughter asked her to get X and Y for her grandchild and she couldnt find X despite searching all day and her day was ruined and her daughter is very overbearing but doesn't get it from her, she's overbearing like her father.

Hello. Shut the **** up. I don't care that you couldn't find a pair of slippers. My mind is in mush, and she seemed quite overbearing too, just as an FYI so I'm not so sure she can lay all the blame on the daughters dad.

Doctor's receptionists asking what's wrong with you when you call to make an appointment.
I mean, I don't particularly want you to know..I'd rather tell the doctor if that's alright.
One time I rang for an appointment (it was a woman's thing I was a bit embarrassed about) and she starts:

"What's the problem?"
Me: "Well I'd prefer to tell the doctor, if that's alright."
Her: "Well I need to know if it's a priority as we're quite full with appointments already."
Me:"Well it's not an emergency. I mean, if it was I'd have gone to A&E, but if you can fit me in, I'll see the doctor and tell him."
Her: "Sigh. Fine, ok."

The receptionists in our practice are witches for this type of thing.
Talking loudly discussing patients ailments and test results, face to face at the hatch or over the phone.
I reckon Mrs O'Reilly doesn't want half the area knowing her smear was abnormal or the fact that the chiropodist couldnt get the ENTIRE root of of Mr Byrne's big toenail as it was in tatters so he'll need another appointment.

I have been asked over the phone "what's the appointment for?" to which I reply "That's between me and the Doc thanks very much"

Characters in comic books getting killed,
it means nothing,
eg captain america ,superman were killed ,
they came back to life.
and every comic gets rebooted every few years .
When i was a teen i bought alot of marvel comic books ,
something happened that was it.
it was part of the characters life story .
wolverine was kiiled recently,
he will probably come back in a year .
if they need to launch a new comic book,or get a boost in sales,
eg new wolverine.
comics used to be numbered up to 100,s of issues,
eg xmen 250,
Now they reset the comic numbering ,
to get a new issue no 1,
there seems to be a new no 1 comic book every month,
instead of xmen, its new xmen no1,
knowing that collectors will buy any no issue of say the avengers .
Writers will reboot a comic book character, and just forget about something that happened 5 years ago,if it suits them.

It's 'self-righteous', at least spell it right if you're going to insult us. Incidentally, most vegans/vegetarians know that PETA are full of sh*t.

My complete inability to roll a cigarette irritates me a lot. :mad: I've watched "how to" videos online but I still end up with a big lump in the middle, nothing at the end and a filter that falls out if you hold it the wrong way. >__<

I don't smoke regularly (usually only with alcohol and the occasional one with a coffee) and I don't particularly want to take up a 20-a-day habit just to get more practice.

When nostalgia over-rules good taste. I gave into temptation and ordered some candy-striped flannel sheets.:o Anyone remember those from their childhoods? I'm showing my age now.:D

Yep, I've got them on my bed! I guess we must be 'of an age'

I've just made a royal balls-up of pasting a screen cover on to my smartphone.

Air bubbles everywhere now. Far too footery for me. I am TA just looking at the fecking thing.

I'm tired even though I have done nothing all day!

I think they appeared here in the late 50s. You're not that old are you.

Nothing beats the comfort of flannel sheets. TA that I no longer have any. Blasted duvets!

family members leaving skid marks down the toilet bowl....no shame

Not quite that old no, my username gives away my age

Flannel sheets for the winter, always. Cotton in the summer (if the weather is summerlike that is!)

people that drive and look for things at the same time with absolutely no thought for the people behind them. prick#.
