Your man from the Fall has paid you a visit.

Speaking of the Fall. We are going to watch the final episode tonight...but someone at work made a damned good attempt to tell me what happens.
Why do people do that?

That song uptown funk. It's a headwreck

It TA's me that I don't like Bruno Mars at all, but I love that song. I wish I could dance so I could git on dowwwn to it! Bruno Mars is very irritating though, so shiny and plastic looking. I bet he has no body hair whatsoever.

Today has been riddled with TAs...Why do birds keep ****ting all over my black car? It's covered in crusty crap

The hot water that I poured over windscreen this morning started to freeze as I drove down the road so I couldn't see properly. Ignorant bitch of a customer who made one of my part timers cry. God I hate the general public! And finally going to Tesco to get some Kellogs Mini Breaks for work and they were out of stock

Today's TA: Buying what I thought was a touchscreen Kindle (as advertised and on display in the store at a reduced price). Grand.

So I get home, and open it only to discover it's actually the first, button thingy model. Sigh.

I'll take it back tomorrow for a refund/exchange but... effort.

Because they're the worst kind of person.

Trimming my fingernails only to find less that an hour later a longer fingernail would be a help opening the end of a roll of sellotape...

When rotten people do nice things. Id much prefer somebody be consistently an asshole because then you know where you stand and you don't feel bad for thinking they're an asshole. So while you're out dogging the asshole into the ground, they're actually doing something nice for you so then of course you feel terrible, for telling everyone how much of an asshole they were in the first place.

So being nice ends up being more of an ASSSHOLE thing to do.

Also, it's unnatural how cold I am. In bed, electric blanket, pjs, massive hoodie, and I'm still glued to the bed with the cold. It can't be that cold

People who see something on a spoof news site, or hear a piece of urban myth, and cannot be persuaded that it is not true or that it is a leg pull.

You should do the far away sketch from Father Ted to annoy them.

Literally doesn't mean literally for a lot of people. It's not even a new phenomenon.
Some thing awful happens, if you use literally, people will assume you are exaggerating, but nod in acknowledgement. Don't say and they will think you are pulling your leg.

Rubberlegs · 20-01-2015 09:39AM

I'm trivially annoyed that I had very vivid and weird dreams before waking. I still feel disorientated and anxious, like something bad is going to happen and I just can't put my finger on it. Hate that

MsBubbles · 20-01-2015 09:52AM

Poor 73Cat. I hate when that happens.

On the way to the train this morning, this suv in front of us (a rant in itself) with a sign on the back window,

"Please slow down!!! Abbie on board".

The rage, it's real. Of course it didn't bother my friend at all but jesus. How about you take responsibility for "Abbie" and slow down yourself. Funny how it's always the cars pulling in and out of schools are the most erratic and unpredictable drivers and then they'll stick up a sign telling everyone else to slow down.

MsBubbles · 20-01-2015 10:12AM

Lexie don't you realise that their child is the most important thing in the universe. *rolls eyes*

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 20-01-2015 10:14AM

Exactly. So look after it. And while they're at it, restrain it in supermarkets so it's not bumping into me, please.

MsBubbles · 20-01-2015 10:15AM

But you're supposed move out of their precious darling's way because the child is much more important than you Lexie.

OldNotWIse · 20-01-2015 10:18AM

I'm tall. It trivially annoys me when people ask me to get stuff for them from a high shelf. I mean, I'm not that f.ucking tall. I'm 5 9, hardly at eye level with the top shelf in a supermarket. And how do they know I don't have a back problem that prevents me from stretching? Or even just a general disdain for the human race that makes me not want to help anyone? Do I ask a short person to pick up stuff from the lower shelves since they're nearer the ground? B.astards.

I'm very jealous of your growing ability though

I feel slightly bad for initially misreading that as "growling" ability! :pac:

You wouldn't be far wrong in that regard though, so don't feel bad :P

pffft, too much rich food when I was a kid. When I have kids I will starve them so they don't become oversized buffoons with big feet :P Another TA of mine is people commenting on my size. "Oh my God, the height of you." etc. Imagine if someone said that to a small person? Same goes for body weight. People feel they can comment if you lose weight, but wouldn't dream of saying something to a fat person.

Lately the local Centra shop is impossible. Anytime you go in there the poor chungwans on the tills are flat-out checking lottery tickets while the queue backs up out the door and back the road. I have root-caused this, and the issue is with the lottery ticket checking machine. Hitherto, one could check tickets merrily without bothering anyone at the till. But since the lottery was sold off to whoever it was, they promptly re-engineered the whole system such that the old checkers no longer work for some reason...

It seems that our all-knowing Fuggan Gummint have sold the National Lottery to the Elmer J. Delbert Memorial Bank, Buttfúck, Idaho* for a sack of magic beans. Also, I'm not the only one to notice issues with the supporting infrastructure:

Don't be too hasty. When I see a six-foot stunna my lower-jaw tends to scrape along the ground like a front-loader while I make "Wubba-Wubba" noises. :pac:

Meh, don't worry people do comment about short people too. I'm about 5'3, my brother and oh (well ex) are both about 6'2/6'3. My dads family are all super tall, when they were carrying the coffin my brother and his three nephews carried it and the undertaker was like "the two shortest at the front". I think that will be the only time in my brothers life he'll be ever "the shortest". Anyway, so many of my friends told me they didn't realise how small I was until that day, where I stood by a heap of men and didn't even reach to their shoulders.

Very TA considering both my parents were tall enough and one side of my family are Giants and I'm a glorified smurf

MsBubbles · 20-01-2015 10:49AM

being 5ft 3 is TA because being short sucks

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 20-01-2015 10:52AM

Also, those luas steps you know when you get off at the luas stop and have to cross the luas line? That drop with short legs, I always feel like I need a boost up, especially at heuston

efb · 20-01-2015 10:53AM

Being sick

Frigga_92 · 20-01-2015 11:23AM

People who sniffle instead of just blowing their fooking nose.
Sniff sniff sniff SNIFF sniff sniff sniff sniff SNIFF oh excuse me sniff sniff sniff...
BLOW YOUR FOOKING NOSE YOU FILTHY ANIMAL.

I just offered her a tissue, "oh no thanks". PLEASE TAKE THE TISSUE!!

The other side of that coin, being 5ft 11. 1 inch short of the 6 foot club
