Awkward situations. Having tea with the relations I haven't spoken to properly since by dad died 14 years ago. I hate stupid small talk!

When you ask someone how far a certain place is and the say, "about 20 minutes." I asked how far, now how long it takes to fecking get there.

Blue-bottles that sound like a aggressive Honda 50.

Blue-bottles that refuse to exit the room via the wide open window which is right in front of them.

Blue-bottles are the worst.

Blue-bottles that activate at dawn and wake you fecking up.

Here in Wexford they refer to a pregnant woman having the child 'for' someone, when talking about the father (don't know if it's widespread but I never heard it in Dublin/Meath).

'Did you hear Jacinta is pregnant?'
'I didn't even know that she was going out with someone, who is it for?'

Always struck me as a bizarre turn of phrase, like she's doing him a favour or something.

Where I live they say "she's pregnant to him", which I find really strange. Surely "pregnant by him" makes more sense.

The stench of festering dog poop in the heat. We went for a walk this afternoon in a popular dog walking area, the stench was atrocious.

On a similar theme, the expression 'fall pregnant' has always annoyed me. It sounds as if someone accidentally tripped on an erect penis, while wearing no knickers.

I have to admit that I love to read trashy magazines like 'Take a Break' and the stories always follow the same formula, 'we met and it was a whirlwind romance, we moved in together and two weeks later I'd fallen pregnant, we had our first child in June, then in July I'd fallen pregnant again....'. As if it is just something that happens to you without any involvement with anyone else, they must all be immaculate conceptions :pac:

Yes I am not alone!!
I find it so odd
Like she is doing him a favour as you say, or is a surrogate!!

Sunday drivers. I thought they were a thing of the past but we met a few today. Doodling along doing 50 on a 100kph road.....not a bother on them.

I think that magazine is gas! One story was about "Margaret", 19 with three kids ona rare night out, meets Jim, 53 year old divorcee in the pub, talks for half an hour and then goes back to his place and rides him and is now up the duff. She says " I mean, I hardly know him"

Correction, you don't fcuking know him.

And you get fifty quid for telling the nation your lovely story:D

Went for a lovely walk with my boyfriend, the two dogs and one of the cats. We went through the fields where he cut the grass for hay.

I'm dying with hayfever

I hate this too!
But regarding Take a Break, ever notice, in the story you're reading, it'll say something like:

"I left my home at Rosepark Drive, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire to meet him".
Why give us the fcuking address?!
Or the narrative will be something like:

"Fancy a cheese sandwich?" I smiled.
You smiled?!
How's that possible?
My Mam and I have great laughs acting out those, i.e

"Will you pass me the ketchup?" she chortled. "Sure" he guffawed.

When your neighbour wants to talk to you but after you've exchanged pleasantries, you've got that awkward silence where nobody knows how to end the chat.

It's why I hate chatting to my neigbours..don't get wrong, they're all lovely and I'm blessed to have them, but when we've chatted about the weather being glorious and how so-and-so down the road's having new windows put in, there's that awkward bit where we've nothing left to say, but we're both too polite to just say "Right, bye."

And then when you enlist help and you're all ready to take out the little fecker. The little blue-winged fúcktard goes into stealth mode and can't be found.

Meanwhile we all wait in vain.....

When you're reading a murder mystery and they withhold a piece of evidence from the reader which is only revealed as the guilty party is being condemned by the protagonist- giving you no opportunity to figure it out for yourself.

When you're on a night out and someone doesn't ask before taking 500 selfies with you.

When a bartender puts the change on the counter instead of into your hand.

people who pet your dog on the road without asking first ( I've a German Shepherd and he's a bit flighty, scary when you see someone stick a hand out to him)

I can never get the timing right on this one, not just TA, actually very annoying!!

When you go for the toilet roll and it rips lengthways instead of tearing off.

My neighbours house alarm went off 5 times last night.

It kept waking me up. I really hope they'll have it looked at, it also went off a few times the previous night. Our houses are also very close together and from the outside it's hard to tell which house the noise is coming from.. so I'm also a bit annoyed that some neighbours might be annoyed with us about this.

When I need to take the underground then the train stops, and there is a queue of people in front of me, I see a free seat from outside the train but these people in front of me are soooo slow that the seat gets taken by someone else who got in using the door next to mine. Grrrrrr hurry up!!!!

Which ones annoy you the most - the slightly dotty antique dealer ones, the blind middle-aged twat ones, or the somewhat crude but no less impressive "Vulva"?
