Happy Birthday to you too, and I hope you feel better soon.

People treating death and tragedy as some sort of tacky competition. "yeah I know that girl was raped and murdered, but what about the X bombings?" and complaining about uneven news coverage.

"cheeky" people. People who take the piss, take liberties and take advantage of other's kindness, to push the boundaries and see how much they get away with. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

I thought I had a rogue computer connected to my wi fi network, so I changed the password and then had to change all the devices I have, one of which is kind of awkward to do.

Just there now as it's getting dark, I noticed a light glowing on my new(ish) work laptop, it wasn't shut down properly and was connected to my wifi....I didn't recognise it on the network aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!

Watching a previously innocent TV series with my dad in the room, then a 'naughty' scene comes on.

fussyonion · 05-08-2015 09:48PM

People repeating themselves.
"Was I telling you I saw (insert name) in Dunnes the other day?"
Me: "Yeah you were saying."
"Yeah I saw her and..(proceeds to repeat story)".

You told me. I told you you told me. Don't tell me again.

When I forget about the yeasty sediment at the bottom of my homemade beer, and just toss it right in there on top of the nice tasting beer.

Drink ruined.

This happens to me every week when my parents call:mad:
I even started putting on those Prime Time kinda programs but even they were about sex trades or something every time.
I put on Mrs.Brown and sitting there with my mam while Mrs. B.put condoms on her arms was awkward.My Dad and my ex used to break their arses laughing and commenting at what ever came on but my mother was poker faced and I couldnt relax(at my age:rolleyes:).
I try to keep them in the kitchen now when they call:D

A teabag leaking tea leaves and the tea is made before you realise. I do realise what this sounds like but it is a genuine post!

Papercut. How can they be so fuppin sore. Wah!:eek:

I was reading about this recently, and here's your answer:

"First, because we use them so often for tactile testing, our fingers are coated with an extremely high concentration of nocireceptors, or nerve fibers that send touch and pain signals to the brain. This makes fingers especially sensitive our "Achilles' heels" when it comes to rifling through papers.

As for paper itself, it's the perfect battleax. Sharp-edged enough to break skin, but too blunt to make a clean cut, paper carves through fingers like a dull, jagged saw. It doesn't cut deep, but this only makes matters worse: it keeps the blade riding high, at surface level, where nocireceptors that send the sharpest type of pain signals are typically concentrated.

Even worse, shallow cuts don't bleed much, so they don't readily clot and seal. Instead they remain open, exposing nerves to the air for a protracted length of time.

They just keep on stinging."

Annoyed at myself for letting stupid small things get to me so much.
Annoyed at myself for having a sleep on the sofa from 7 - 9, and now I'm wide awake in the bed.
The stupidity of some people, a lad I know would go hungry to have the latest phone, 35 megapixeljpeggigaroms, I don't care, it's only a phone.
Dogs barking at nothing.
People who fidget, and can't sit down or sit still.

Gimps on social media leaving messages/statements directed at, eh, a country or location. E.g. "London let's be having you" ??!!

NotASheeple · 06-08-2015 01:08AM

TA annoyed that I can't sleep and I now have an even less chance of sleep since I logged in.:(

ratmouse · 06-08-2015 01:16AM

TA at how I always wait until about 2-3 weeks before I go on holidays to decide to eat healthily and get in shape, instead of doing so a lot earlier in advance. How do I always think that I will have a Bond girl bikini body in a matter of 2 weeks?!

As youre there kfallon I have a bone to pick with you, a major TA if Im honest..;)
Remember weeks ago when this thread was in the toilet and you mentioned King Kongs finger,well I cant get it out of my head.I hate public loos,even in work I have to be badly stuck to use them but now Im paranoid in case I see a huge finger and even if I think about it I feel like gagging.
Sorry to mention this so early in the morning but Im actually slightly traumatised since and felt I needed to get it off my chest.:D(I genuinely have a very weak stomach)

Menas · 06-08-2015 09:03AM

TA that you brought that up and reminded me of that image....eugh!

I apologise!

Nothing worse tho, when it happens once, you'll never forget it. We've all done the walk, you're going into the traps for a 'sit down' but the last 3 or 4 steps into the cubicle you do it on your tippy-toes to try get a look into the bowl to make sure it's not like a minature 'Hiroshima' before you go thru the cubicle door. If it is like down town Beirut you quickly divert into the cubicle next door and then ponder, when sat on the throne, what kind of diet the person who made the mess was on to create that abomination :pac:

I do apologise Menas but it true and had to be said..people need to be aware of the long term affects of their posts:D
BTW I ran into a garage after work recently and when I went to use my laser card I realised that I had the wrong card(similar in colour but its a work card).Anyway I ran out to the car to get the other one and held up the queue at the counter,that didnt bother much tbh but my big fear was that someone on here might be in the queue and I was TAing them.Then I was TAed that I actually even thought about that

Oh Jesus..Im actually laughing and gagging here..Why cant they invent something that takes away the smell immediately,I mean we can send people to outer space and yet we have to endure that kind of torture:eek::D

Colser, now you have me wondering what happens to a "King Kongs Finger" when an astronaut drops one?

And also, did King Kong bite his nails?

British Olympian and Quorn spokesman Mo Farah's voice. It's so gurgly and throaty.

Trivially annoyed at my ex-GF's trivial annoyance. We went through a sudden break up about a month ago (she done the dumping) and a couple of weeks ago I was taking to her friend on FB and in confidence just asked her how the ex was getting on etc, was there any under-lining issue that caused her to break us up and whatever. She promised to keep what we discussed between us (no major reveals, more so me just looking for advice)

In the meantime, a random girl sent me a message on POF last night, who had as her profile pic a picture of herself and the ex. Was good friends with her and I automatically jumped to the conclusion that she was spying on me (paranoid or what haha)

Got a viber from the ex in the wee hours when I was asleep telling me to go on FB immediately. Basically she told me not to talk about us to her friends again. I thought she was referring to her POF friend but it turns out her other one squealed like a pig. So much for confidentiality anyway.

Anyway, after me wholeheartedly apologising and promising it won't happen again, she subsequently informed me she doesn't want to talk to me anymore and wants to end all ties.

You'd swear I rode either of her friends like. Talk about an over-reaction. I was genuinely just looking out for her. Taking a break from this courting lark
