Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

After years of irrationally hating cucumber (my mother used to sneak them into my sandwiches), a hate so bad that I wouldnt even put them on my eyes, I find myself today, really wanting a cucumber. An entire cucumber. I hate cucumber. I betray myself

I was behind a lady in a vegetable shop, and she was buying a large cucumber ( the largest in the shop). trying to helpful, I suggested she ask the shopkeeper to slice it for her. She turned and said "Do I look like a fcuking slot machine?":D

Yes, very old remedy for drawing out infection and foreign matter from small-to-middling wounds. Various American Indian tribes use mashed pumpkin instead of bread.

I thought the mashed pumpkin was a dance.

I got Garnier shampoo there lately, and it is annoying me. I don't have an awful lot of hair, but I have to wash it every morning to avoid leaving the house looking like Keith Flint from The Prodigy. This stuff finagles one's hair in such a way as to make it nearly impossible to tell by feel when it's all rinsed off. I also bought shaving gel for €2 in the local Rob-Me-Blind lately. Great value, I thought. But it isn't, it's crap. It's like watery, lacklustre dishwater with very poor consistency and lathering, and I cannot wait until the foul concoction is used up so I can get a can of the good Gillette stuff.

And what mental block exactly do some people have with "L" and "N" plates? It really is quite simple, they go on the top-left corner of the rear-window and the top-right corner of the windscreen, looking from outside the car. I saw one disciple just today with an "N" plate stuck slap-bang in the centre of the bonnet. Clearly in this case it stands for "Nobjockey".

Ahh that was the monster mash was the dance, and then there were Smashing Pumpkins, one of the greatest bands of the 90's, and then there's Pumpkinseeds, whose ears are burning about now

I seen a car with Z plate one day and wondered what the fook is that, then figured out the sticker placement engineer put the N on sideways.

I hate it when people feel the need to comment on what I'm eating, especially if it's anyway healthy.

Get the f##k over it!!!!

I would have thought you'd be more a Badger, soap and Thiers-Issard sort of man.

<Scratches arse ruefully> You'd think so, wouldn't you. Hard to make time for all that rigmarole, though.

I live near this completely eccentric man, and I quite imagine Jim to be a younger version of him.

I pictured Jim looking like Grizzly Adams. All Manly and devilishly handsome

Well?

The fella beside me at work. He only comes in to the office once a forthnight thankfully but is a complete bore...and very loud.
I am sitting here wearing earplugs and can still hear him. How am I supposed to concentrate on boards work under these conditions?

Jim you're so normal!!!

There you go! It always was a TA to me that I paid to read my Irish Times every day and others just went online and read it for free. Why would any newspaper supply their product free online? Self destructive I would have thought.

At least this time it will not be too hard to get around if you really want to read more than 10 articles per week.

Nothing I like better, than being on rush hour LUAS, my big bag beside me, and reading my big Irish Times, and giving it a good rattle when I get pissed off:D
