When people don't put clothes pegs back on the line properly, making it really hard to push them along to make room for the washing as it goes up. Every single one of them was on ar$eways. At least there's great drying out .

They shouldn't be left on the line in the first place. Put them in the peg box! :mad:

Even worse is when, once in a blue moon, I ask my husband to hang out the clothes and he clamps the pegs on them, right in the middle, one peg per item, and leaves peg marks. And he never stretches them out, leaving them wrinkly and unevenly dried. It's easy: streth item, peg as near as possible to seams... it's not rocket science. (I reckon he does it badly so that I never ask him again.)

I was checking out some property online for my brother last night. And it was so obvious that some of the agents had tried to deceive the viewer. I know bad Photoshop when I see it and the attempts to make some rooms & houses appear bigger was beyond laughable. I fecking hate that kind of blatant deception.

Well who knew that painting the garden furniture could be such a pain in the arse and be the cause of such tension and arguments :pac:

Supermarkets, more specifically idiots in supermarkets. I was behind this 'wan at the checkout this afternoon. She was fiddling with her pram and kept reversing into my trolley, then she'd turn around each time and glare at me as though I were bumping her, honestly, I wasn't. That happened 3 or 4 times and I just ignored her. I even ignored her when all my shopping was getting shoved over to the side of the aisle after being scanned because she was fussing with putting her change away. I ignored her when she put not only her handbag on the counter to rifle through her purse, but also decided to pull out the baby bag she had for the toddler, pop that on the checkout, pull the shopping from other places she shopped out from under the pram and start trying to pack it even though her transaction was completely done.

The kicker came when she finally started to push the pram towards the door and I'd moved my trolley about an inch. The silly bint reversed back into me, catching the wheel of her pram under the trolley and proceeded to tell me how rude I was and that I could have given her 2 minutes to move on. I had a massive headache and the most polite I could be was to tell her that if she'd shut up already we'd both be finished. I so so so wanted to rip her a new arse.:mad:

Pumpkinseeds methinks you need to stay away from the supermarkets, they seem to be the source of your irritation :pac:

What does it matter if they're different colours?! Maybe you should do it yourself so :pac:

Waiting for my period to arrive. I know, TMI, but what the hell.

Was due them last week. Didn't arrive. So every day I had to anticipate it and wear a pad, which in this weather is horrible.

Bloody hate the anticipation, especially if I'm going to the gym and fear it happening as I'm working out.
And it never arrives when you're just at home doing nothing. Oh no, it's not considerate like that.

You'll be there, in your white jeans or in church or something (who am I kidding, I don't go to church) and HELLO! IM HERE!

It's not trivial if you suspect that it might not arrive and you're really hoping that it does. :eek:

What? The same coloured pegs should never, ever be next to each other*! Vary it a bit. Mixing up the coloured clothes pegs is the only creative outlet I get. (I also like to hang contrasting coloured clothes next to each other

It looks nice.)

On an unrelated note, I really need a hobby.

*Obvious exception made for wooden clothes pegs. Ok sometimes they snag your clothes, they always leave a mark, but they very rarely break. (Yep, I definitely need a hobby).

I have a special way of hanging out my clothes as well. My pegs come in 4 different colours and I usually follow a certain colour pattern along the line! Sad, isn't it?

Each item has to be hung with identical pegs though! I think silly things like that make the whole thing a bit more 'fun'.

Christ, thank you. I saw a deal at a barbers for a hot towel shave and beer breakfast for 'the groom and three of his boys'. Anyone infantile enough to refer to their friends as 'the lads/boys/pals' has no business getting married.

I've never thought of it that way, I've spent all of my sexually active life trying to avoid getting pregnant, almost to the point of paranoia.

Started watching a tv series last night and am addicted. Am 7 episodes into a 22 part season and there are 5 seasons.
Can't forsee any washing/ironing/cooking or childcare being done for at least a month!

It's never fun! But it has to look good. A planned randomness of colour: never two pegs of the same colour on the same item, clashing colours next to each other! Except when I do a white wash then all the whites have to go on the same line. (I seem to spend the guts of my day doing washing and hanging it out. I hate it. I'd love to employ someone to do it for me. But nobody else on this planet will ever do it the way I want it done!)

Oh feck, has my life really come to this?

Robsweezie · 01-07-2015 09:59PM

theres a girl on the radio now, one of those 'feminists' who just appears to have a clear problem with men, says men don't approach her in nightclubs because theyre intimidated by her as she's not ''easy'', she comes on all the time just basically running the opposite sex down with her ''men are bastards'' tirades. shes the type that will always find a reason to condemn men in any argument involving gender . TA'd by her and and everyone like her. theres a difference between empowering your own gender and just pure man hatred.

The other side of the coin can drive you to paranoia too.

I'm TA'd that I don't have a special way to put pegs on my clothes to hang them out. I must be doing something wrong

My parents are coming to visit so unless you could eat off the walls, my house won't be clean enough

still have to try though

Men who wear slim fitting or skinny-ish jeans and then ram their I-phone into their pocket. Kinda ruins the look.

Android phone and tablet - every time I switch them on there seems to be some update. I have downloaded very few apps and deleted a lot of the ones it came with.

I'm trivially annoyed that people rely on stuff like auto-fill and predictive text. I have it switched off on my phone.

My real trivial annoyance is that if I go into the canteen now and buy a packet of crisps and a bar of chocolate, it'll cost me €2.10 from the vending machine. If I go into the same canteen in 45 minutes and get them at the till, the exact same things will cost me €1.69.
