    Self-consciously "wacky" "characters", people who invariably have absolutely no sense of humour about themselves.

    I had to google that. But I'm still not sure!

    Care to give some context or translation??

    From my understanding it's become slang for your boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other.

    Bitchiness in grown women.
    Approached some girls I've gotten to know from joining the gym and the way they looked at me today...it was as if they'd been talking about me.
    Then one woman proceeded to turn her back on me and talk to her friends.
    I felt like I was back in school and as a result, I feel quite down about it now.

    Never feel down about the behaviour of kunts or let it get to you. It's much better to just pity immature cows like that, than to turn a negative experience inwards onto yourself. The ignoramuses probably aren't worthy of your friendship, so don't waste time worrying about it. They are merely projecting their own pathetic inadequacies onto you.

    People who go straight from the sauna and jump into the swimming pool without showering off first.

    Dirt-Monkeys!

    Pools/saunas/steam rooms must some of the most unhygienic places on the planet......the things I've seen.

    Big signs all over the place. PLEASE SHOWER BEFORE USE, but no, you still see the dry people sneaking in. I have seen men washing swimming togs in the sink, which people use for shaving. I have seen a man use a hair dryer to dry his...well you know:eek:

    Every f*cking time I have to do "ladies things" in a public bathroom (and I try to avoid it as much as possible) the "hygienic" bin in the cubicle is over flowing and there is a horrible smell coming out of it - a smell so bad I can actually taste it!

    Depends on what period in history it's from though whether it would qualify as a fantique or a fakebab...

    EDIT: eisenberg beat me to it! :pac:

    The fact that they have to put signs up with some of the most basic standards of common decency on them is truly depressing.

    'Please do not shave in the Steam Room'

    'Swimming attire must be worn at all times in the Sauna'

    'Please wipe down exercise machines after use'

    'Try to refrain from being a complete and utter cock while at the gym'







    ok, I made up the last one.

    The word "bae", I've only ever seen it used online, had one of the girls in work mention it during small talk in a meeting today.
    She's 38.

    She should be sacked. Alternatively, tarred and feathered.

    Aw thanks so much.

    It's weird how much it affected me all day yesterday.
    I felt really isolated and I hadn't done anything wrong to these women.
    But today I feel better.

    I thought we could all get fit together in the gym but some of these girls have been there longer and I think they feel they're way above me because I'm a beginner and am still trying to find my way around.
    Looks like I'll just do it alone, but that's alright.

    I can do it on my own.

    TA that I'm sure I got an e-mail early this morning confirming an appointment for this week...but I can't find it anywhere!

    I've checked my personal and work e-mails, even checked my text messages...nothing. All that's left is to phone them and ask if they did in fact send an e-mail, or if I am losing my mind and dreamt it :(

    It didn't really annoy me, but it annoyed my local chipper owner (who I like), so guess it's near the same...

    I went into the chipper over the weekend as a treat, and a woman ahead of me in the queue kept changing her order over the type of burger she was getting.
    She settled with a spice burger, but then started to ask about what percentage meat was in it!
    FFS woman!! It's a god damn chipper! Eat the delicious muck and don't think about it!

    Hotels that have panic buttons where there should be a light switch. I pressed it. Not good.

    I did that with a pull cord in the shower in the Royal Marine hotel a couple of years ago... Cue a duty manager knocking on my door to make sure I was OK and profuse apologies from me....

    At Dublin airport once my four year old son needed the toilet 'now'. So I snuck him in to the disabled loo. But he pulled the red chord. Caught rotten by the staff!

    When people lower the tone of conversations when you're trying to eat, talking about toilet humour and just gross Sh1t you don't want to hear about when having lunch.

    The wans on the news giving out about the cost of sending a child to school.
    Don't have kids if you can't afford them, and don't expect the taxpayer to foot the bill.

    FFS grow up
    the cost of kids going to school is extortionate.
    A crested jumper can be many multiples of a standard tesco one
    If uniforms and books were cheaper it would be fine

    People like you who think only the well off should have kids really piss me off

    Don't have kids if you can't afford to rare them. Simples. Don't expect the rest of society to pay for your kids
