Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Simpletons on trains, actually has her suitcase sitting on the seat next to her. Every day I get on the train, and every single day there's some class of imbicle taking up two seats on a packed train. And it's usually members of the blue rinse brigade. Who are no doubt travelling for free too.

TA'ing myself all over the place this morning. I said to someone last night "you go get the duck tape and get naked while I boil the kettle"...

You don't boil a kettle, the kettle boils the water IN the kettle! It's a bit like saying "put some toast in the toaster"

Had a phone call just now and forgot to take out my earphones, gave them a full blast of Amy MacDonald when I held the phone up to my ear

Indecisive people, they had called me to have a look at some work for them, no problem, I asked what time they'd like to meet to go over it... eventually had to tell them I'll pick it up later and have a look over it myself :rolleyes:

I can tell it's going to be one of those days already...

And dammit this coffee is burning the taste buds off me, dafuq MaccyD's? I thought they were supposed to be reducing the beverage temps?

My eczema is so bad at the moment so I was awake for an hour last night with a really itchy head and all day Sunday my armpits were so itchy and they're actually sore now because I am like a child and cannot stop myself from scratching

My forehead is really itchy now too.
Woe is me.

I am trivially annoyed that I did not utter that astoundingly wonderful sentance. :pac:

Trying to buy a free range chicken yesterday. Think there was one to be found in any of the larger supermarket stores? Not a f.ucking hope. Do they think all their shoppers are immoral savages who only eat battery hens who've spent their entire lives living in darkness and are then slaughtered withhout seeing the light of day? I walked out of two stores. In the end, I found one.....in Lidl. Take that Lidl/Aldi snobs.:)

It's my knees and my belly driving me mad at the moment. Trim those nails real short.

Men that are very vocal about whether or not women should have an abortion or not. Men complaining that they should have a say regarding getting rid of a child they don't want (even when the woman has made it clear she's keeping it) or keeping a child when the woman has decided she wants to get rid of it.

By all means, discuss the options, listen to each other, but at the end of the day, the buck stops with the incubator. It's not his body, ergo, he has no business trying to force a woman into doing something - to her body - that she doesn't want to do.

Shaving mirrors after the shower.

The best time for a shave and you can't see jack.

Rub shaving cream/soap on the mirror and wipe off - not sure if the canned goo works though

I always shave in the shower. I have a small mirror with sucker pads on the wall, and a light rub of soap stops it fogging, and then you can see jack;)

TV Shows:

THey are all at now of showing you what is going to happen in a show at the start and before breaks thereby ruining any element of surprise and then after a commercial break recapping what they just showed you as if you were a goldfish.

Makes TV really unenjoyable. Can't watch live anymore, record all on Sky box, and whizz past all intros, ads and 'Coming up' bits.

It depends on the application..............

Taping ducks together vs. taping ducts. Different situations!

I think afterwards is better because the heat opens your pores a little and the hair is probably softer.

Shaving?

So I hear, but I prefer to get all that messing out of the way and only then give myself a good power-hosing!

I think that's it. I can't shave in the shower, my skin's stupidly sensitive so I leave the foam/cream on a good bit, let it soak in, then shave...

As usual, the simple things are surprisingly complicated!

Hair conditioner is really good too, my skin is really sensitive and shaving gel drives my skin insane, so that's what I use and it's fantastic.

At the risk of sounding like the seat of Ryan Giggs' Bentley, I use Gillette shaving gel and Nivea after-shave balm. Mighty tack, the both of 'em. :cool:

For when you are bristly, and have a bit of time. Heat a damp face towel in the microwave for a few mins and apply to face (be careful) and use shaving oil.

Back when I used to shave, I'd always use one of the expensive razors and Shea Butter Shaving Cream. Put the cream on and let in settle for a few minutes, then have a really refreshing shave.
.....not sure if there are and male shaving utensils in the house these days. I used to have to keep some around for when I was travelling with work. Now I dont bother shaving when doing face to face's with clients.

Sounds good and makes sense. I might try it when I get a microwave! I don't think throwing a towel in the oven would do...

My 6 year old boy has recently become obsessed with computer games. He wants to sleep over in all his friends houses that have an XBox, always wants his DS, but we are managing to control him quite well.

But this morning, the moment I've been dreading arrived. He has seen me briefly playing my playstation a couple of times, and when he's seen me, it's just me turning it off as I would never play around the kids. So while we were brushing our teeth he says:

"Daddy, you know the games that you play on the TV, like the XBox, but it's not an XBox"
"Yes son, it's called a Playstation, and is far superior to an XBox"
"Can we play games together on Friday and Saturday?, maybe a football game"

He's finally put 2 and 2 together and realised there is a games console in the house. My games console is essentially no longer mine.

You all should just try waxing
