I'm annoyed at the stench of BO from people. It's nauseating and I'm starting to dread going into any enclosed building where there are other human beings. Yesterday there was a guy hovering around me at the chiller aisles in Tesco, he was fcuking rank with BO. It's so tempting to say something, but all I did was decide that thanks to the stink of him I'd lost my appetite for cheese so I left him to it.

+1. Was using self service till in my local shop this evening, and Stinky Mc Stinkerson was using the one beside me, with lots of arm waving and movement, as he checked stuff through, all the better to share the pong around.
I walked into the chemist shop then, and the first person I met, stank. Ugh. I left.

Don't act like an arsehole on a bike and you won't get fined.

I find myself TA'd at people calling one of the Berkeley balcony survivors "brave" as she is beginning her rehabilitation.

How is she brave? She is only taking the next step in the line of recovery that countless other unfortunate people have had to take, with far less media scrutiny and obtrusiveness too.

That and hero have lost their meanings somewhat in the clamour to have stories stand out and trend on social media.

Same with drownings, there is always someone who is brave and jumps in, really, every time?

I cant swim very well, if someone fell in beside me I would sh1t the bed, no way I would jump in. "Woman drowns, man sh1ts bed" doesn't have the same ring to it I suppose

The optimist in me is delighted that today is going to be another glorious day. The pessimist in me is dreading the rain that is coming tomorrow.
TA that the pessimist is the dominant personality today!

No. Some people still drown. Obviously.

Yeah, sadly this person usually becomes victim number 2.

You obviously have a waterbed. It has to be really hard to drown in a waterbed.

Ba$tdard fly in the room all night. Too tired to get up and deal with it, couldn't get proper sleep with the cnut buzzing all night.

Hate that. When it happens to me I turn a light on in another room and leave the bedroom door open. Fly will always follow the light!

Packages taking ages to arrive. It shouldn't take longer than a week for a package to be delivered from one European country to another, I want my stuff now!!

I had a package delivered from Germany a few weeks ago. It was "free" shipping, which meant that it was low priority. According to the tracking data, it was shipped from the supplier on a Monday, sat at the shipping company till Thursday, landed in Dublin in the early hours of Friday morning, and wasn't put on a van until Monday. I coud have paid for priority shipping, I suppose ...

Yes, kind of the same situation here. I was really hoping I'd get it today.

Kev W · 03-07-2015 10:51AM

While we're at it, people who don't disable the key tones on their phones so you hear every bastarding beep they make when they're mucking about with them!

Decided to wear leggings today thinking that they were thick enough. They're not and I could see my bum through the material. Change of outfit then!

I remember going to a funeral a couple of years ago and there was a woman standing in front of me in skin tight black leggings that revealed every pimple on her arse. I don't know what was more inappropriate her attire or my erection.

Delightful!!! I wasn't that bad, I could just see the outline of my knickers

Heh, I'm just sitting here outside a café and a girl in leggings passed by, seems to be a new trend of having them look like they were purposely shredded and a black sort of sheer netting underneath (that incidentally looked like there was nothing underneath! :pac: )

Trivially annoying though are these e-cigarettes. I said I'd give them another go. I'm going to try stick them out for a week this time, but if it still feels like I'm sucking a golf ball through a straw to get anything out of them, well quite frankly they can shag off :mad:

They're just very, very... frustrating

If this is happening you've bought a sh*t one. Google the Eleaf iStick 30w. Buy one. Never look back.

People who let their kids run riot in shops, then they give you an 'awh isn't my child so adorable' look. Some day I'm just going to wind them up and say in a sympathetic tone 'awh poor child ,is he a little bit simple'?

Menas · 03-07-2015 01:45PM

I am working from home today. Forgot that there is a concert in Marley park and they have been doing sound checks all day. Every time I have a call the person on the phone asks if I am at a disco.

micar · 03-07-2015 02:36PM

The word "muggy" to describe the weather.

FFS, just say "it's humid"

redfacedbear · 03-07-2015 03:47PM

On phone explaining really basic stuff to a dopey customer when his mobile rings. He actually interrupted me to take the call!

fussyonion · 03-07-2015 03:54PM

People commenting on the weather.
All this week it's non-stop.

In the morning at home: "Gorgeous day out there."
Me: "Oh so it is, lovely."

In the shop an hour later, two old women chatting: "Grand bit of sun we're getting, isn't it?"

In the gym, receptionist: "Rather you than me in this heat!"

In the changing room: "Jaysus it's too hot, me knickers are wringing"

On the radio in the car: "What a scorcher out there, get the barbecue fired up!"

And later the neighbours: "Howya! Isn't it a smashing day!"

YES!
Yes, it's a smashing day! Can everyone calm down, enjoy it and bloody stop talking about it all day! I have skin; I can feel the heat, right?

I pulled a young Asian fella up on this one day on the bus. It wasnt music but he was texting a 100mph but with the sound on.....it was doing my head in and I said: 'Would you mind putting it on silence. It's very annoying.'

He mumbled something in Thai or whatever but it worked...;)

Wonderful day out decide to get a coffee and sit outside with friends on lunch break. Before you know it you're surrounded by the horrid smell of smokers on all sides.
