Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

My mum offered to bring a few things to the dry cleaners for me as I won't get a chance this week. I started to go through them with her just to be sure I hadn't missed anything. Unbeknownst to me a piece of shexy underwear got itself caught up amongst the pile. She picks it up, holds it up and asks what's this and is she to bring it too and then it slowly begins to dawn on both of us what she is holding. And my dad standing there watching. Scarleh

How do ye Chungwans not get deep-vein thrombosis from those skinny jeans? they don't exactly leave much room for ventilation, to put it mildly! :pac:

Jesus, I'd look like an overstuffed sausage if I wore those things. Retro bootcut for me please!!!:pac:

Aglomerado do you remember that infomercial from the 80's for a stepper fitness gizmo, They used to scare you about turkey drumstick legs, that's me

If I could just wear bootcut jeans all the time I'd be really happy. Gap Perfect Boot jeans are probably the best fit out there on me, but it TA's me that I need a short leg in them at 5'6" if I want to wear them with flat shoes! I have muscular legs but a relatively small waist so skinny jeans are an awkward fit - what actually goes over my calves is liable to be too big anywhere above my hips. I have a couple of pairs of M&S jeggings but even they have the same problem.

For what it's worth - I'm bloody delighted that kick flare styles appear to be coming back in this year

Rainbow aparently if your short Gap's long and lean jeans are supposed to make you look longer.

I got myself all excited about going to Switzerland for work...but the only available hotel is a Ramada.
I am going to be slumming it. :mad:

People who keep sniffing instead of just blowing their noses and being done with it. What the f.uck is wrong with them? Are the trying to save their snot for some reason? Should be f.ucking well shot.

My favourite jeans ever, but they don't do them in store in Europe any more.

Planning to buy about 5 pairs when I'm in California at the end of May...

I find this, and also it's hard to find a pair that go in enough at the end of the leg. They always seem to go out an inch too much at the bottom

Now I see the merit in that 80's abomination called ski pants :P

efb · 24-02-2015 02:49PM

Yes Tuesday is my last fave day of the week!!!

Met with councillor at 12 so that helped

ONW try Oasis for the JADE fit skinnies..50e but I find them perfect:)

Menas · 24-02-2015 02:53PM

Oh FFS, you lot have me looking up skinny jeans now!
(It is not a good look for me).

Mr. CooL ICE · 24-02-2015 02:57PM

Skinny jeans are an abomination. I long for the days that Limp Bizkit songs were in the charts and huge baggy pants were in fashion. Those things were damn comfortable.

Rubberlegs · 24-02-2015 02:57PM

I'm always forgetting to refrigerate leftovers. I hate waste, and it's not always something the dog / birds wiil eat

Toilet brushes that come loose from the handle after pretty much each use. Had my fill with this. The only way to tighten is to hold the sh1t-infested end and twist the handle, disgusting. How hard can it be to make these things fit for purpose?

selous · 24-02-2015 03:01PM

If ya cant beat them join them,

Why is there size 16 18 20 "skinny" jeans aren't they only for boney critters, hence, skinny??

(Or am I going to get torn asunder here now?)

The skate shoes I spent years around that time wearing with baggy jeans made my arches drop :mad:

No particular desire to see the big Hobo-type trousers come back tbh.

+1. Now if only they'd bring back normal waist jeans instead of hipster styles in bootleg jeans and every other style of womens trousers. I'm a 42 year old 5'6 woman, I don't have the hips and abdomen of a teenage boy so hipster styles do me no favours at all, none.:(

Toilet brushes themselves are disgusting. Scrub shít and then put the brush back in it's holder? But then you need something to clean the brush, and then something to clean that....

Why haven't they designed one with a disposable head yet?

I usually have lunch early, and often have our small kitchen/canteen area to myself. I did this as usual today, was reading, and these two women sit at the table next to me. OK so far, except, they talk incessantly about the most inane bollox possible.
Today's subject was porridge. A conversation went on for approx. 5 minutes about porridge. Right next to me.
"Do you eat porridge in the morning?"
" I do, I do my porridge in the microwave, do you do your porridge in the microwave?"
"No I do my porridge in the saucepan, it makes it more [something]"
"Oh, I love porridge from a saucepan, it's much nicer than porridge from the microwave"
And so on.
JESUS, shut up and stop saying porridge :mad: :pac:

I think (and I could be wrong) that the "skinny" is a reference to the effect they have on you. That they make you look skinnier by making the legs look longer and therefore narrower. In fact, I think that is why people (especially guys) who have super skinny legs look a little silly in them.

Oh this porridge is too bitter.... But this one is too sweet... Oh but this one is just right!
