    When you take something from a shelf in a supermarket and a load of things fall on to the floor because of the way they are packed.

    Who cares who you do or don't vote for though? It's just better to leave personal politics out of such a good thread imo.

    It seems that you care or you wouldn't have bothered posting a comment on my post.

    Came across it in a list of people the other day, was wondering why anyone would sit there with their child and think it's a good idea.

    Waking up all cold, shaky and feeling vulnerable after a nap.

    Also majorly TA'd that the small KitKat I'd been saving for a desperate day (i.e today) had been scoffed by the other half this morning.
    He bit into the two-finger delight, without separating them!

    People showing me videos they like on YouTube, particularly ones they think are funny, sweet sufferin jaysus is there anything more boring, especially if it's any longer than 30 seconds, there's only so long you can humour your friends!

    I've now started to implement the 30 second rule, if it's any longer than that then fcuk off, I'm not watching it.

    Tell me about it. And the thing is, I'm in foul mood today. Really irritated.
    If he doesn't hop to the shop and buy me at least two normal-sized KitKats to make up for his greediness, there'll be heck to pay.
    And he sure don't wanna pay any heck.

    When you see the neighbour of the nextdoor apartment who shares the same steps cleaning his ears and chucking the ear/cottonbud on the steps then you realise where and why the other earbuds are on the steps over the last few weeks, It was cigarette butts when they moved in, wonder whats next, dirty p1gs.

    To be fair I like my grapes in liquid form and that does make me feel a bit guilty sometimes. And a bit drunk

    I sometimes do things in slightly odd ways. I make tea with loose leaves, for example. Some people, when they seem me do something, ask a question like "do you always do that?"

    They don't realise that this question is borderline insulting. It implies that what I'm doing is an habit, and no thought goes in to it. The questioner doesn't understand it, so it must be irrational, right? :mad:

    Using the tea example again: I didn't always make it that way, and I might not always make it that way in the future, if I find a better way. I could explain exactly why I do it this way today, if you were interested, but you're clearly not. Do you always do ... anything? No, because you're not a machine, and neither am I.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Because I put them in food like spaghetti and apparently its too awkward to pick out (by either me or him) so I'd have to fry peas and onions separately every time I want food (there's always leftovers) and I can't do that everyday, who has time to make two separate dinners everyday.

    While the pasta dish is cooking, fry your peas and onions separately. Keep warm and then separate your pasta between you both and justadd your extras into your dish. ;)

    Was it Colser mentioned the trouble with men lately?
    I'm beginning to think men have worse bloody hormonal problems than women do at this stage :mad::p

    I scraped my hand on a grater today. If that wasn't already bad enough I went to the first aid box to get a plaster. I took one out and tried to stick it on my finger, but it wasn't sticky and it fell off. I went through about 4 plasters before I got some cello tape and stuck it on. :o

    Random soreness in your limbs.

    That dry feeling in your throat and eyes when you can feel yourself coming down with something.

    I hear you on this, I think there is nothing worse (well there is) than someone offering yiu a cup of tea, and then handing you a mug with boiled water and a teabag floating in it...disgusting. Tastes completely different to tea pored from a pot....ideally not a metal pot.
