Those pedestrian partitions they erect when roadworks are being carried out so that there is essentially one line of people walking one direction and another line walking the other direction. Usually when you are rushing for a bus too, and there is some slow fúcker waddling along at the top dictating the pace for everyone. Can't pass them because of pedestrians walking the other way. My God the fúcking frustration. Yesterday I actually nearly shouted out, "can you move it along up there at the front"

TA that I had to drive to work today instead of taking the bus, and some guy in a van apparently thought it his duty to intimidate me by driving up my backside when he saw the L plates Ended up stopping at lights on a hill. Lights changed. Into first. Handbrake down.
... Idiot behind immediately regrets driving so close when my car starts to roll back
He kept his distance after that :P 0 -

All my french students wrote "you will miss me" on their thank you cards for the families they stayed with. That's what they get for not listening
I did have a good laugh at them to be fair but still, it's not good for a grammar nazi like me!0 -

Probably a direct translation from the French "Tu me manques" which looks like "You will miss me" but actually means "I will miss you"!
I also found it confusing the other way around when I was learning French!
...Pedant hat off...
Anyway: Back to annoyances; I've a bit of a dodgy tummy today and need to go to the toilet a lot. I hate going #2 at work because I get stage fright... spent 20 minutes in there waiting for a gaggle of vapid women colleagues to finish up talking about dresses, bags, shoes, etc for a wedding one of them has coming up. By the sound of things, she had brought the dress into work and was modelling it for her friends in the toilets!
... dear god, the screeching!0 -

Of course!
Just not the type that squeals over handbags.
I'm a craft beer, hurling and literature kind of girl. 0 -

I shouldn't tell you then about the supplies I bought for both cleaning and oiling my flute recently.0 -

Somehow I feel it's important to point out that you're talking about a musical instrument, before anyone else gets the wrong impression
That said, I'd hate to be your neighbour! :pac:

Common misconception - the uilleann pipes are nowhere near as loud as their Scottish highland cousins. My chanter is no louder than an average fiddle. Tee hee. Fiddle.0 -
We have an overnight stay in the hotel we got married in for our anniversary. Can't be used Friday or Saturday, so my husband has a Monday off this month so we tried the Sunday before, no rooms available. He can't take the day off just to stay in the hotel grim 0

Not me! I love uileann pipes. And the Galician version, the gaita.
3 more hours to home time. I put in 11 hours at work yesterday and I feel like I never went home. I'm exhausted!! 0 -
