Trivial things that annoy you part 479

My thought for the day is the person who was walking in front of me today.

Well Slingeing along, (do any of you remember that word, my mother does and gave me hell for doing it aswell when I was a kid)

You know.... rambling along and the whole world is behind you wishing you would just walk a bit faster so I can get by you, you self absorbed muppet.

Cheap toilet roll.

I will eat supermarket own brand foods (in fact I buy a lot of them because they're often the same high quality as their branded counterparts), I will go to a garage I know has cheaper petrol even if it's a bit out of my way, I will even add veg to meat dinners to bulk them out, but I will not scrimp on loo roll.

I have, in the past, bought those multi-roll bales for a fiver but they're not thick enough, there's not enough sheets on the roll so you end up changing them too often and here's the crux..they make my bum itch!

I can't tell you the amount of times I've been standing, cross-legged in the vegetable aisle of my local Tesco, hoping I can navigate one buttock to slide up against the other to scratch my itch, only for it to become even more itchy and it's all I can do to stop myself giving myself a right good scratch over the parsnips.

The toilet roll also clumps into little balls and God help you if you should need a sheet or two to blow your nose; I can't tell you the amount of times I've blown my nose, only for two fingers to poke through like straws in a Coke.

No.
And I will only use Cushelle.
I've tried Andrex, hell I'm probably a connoisseur on loo roll...only Cushelle is soft enough for my bum.

I'm not buying my parsnips in your local Tesco :eek:

Feck that. It is just the excuse I needed never to buy a parsnip again. I am sure fussyonion has a fine clean bottom...but still!

As my username is Ted. It is my duty to say they all have lovely clean bottoms.

If we did ever have a TA meetup I would pity the poor barman serving us...the amount of returned drinks and complaints about the ambiance..

I betcha we would be pussycats in real life

Here is where we can sound off and keep ourselves somewhat sane!

I'd never skimp on the toilet roll but tesco does do a nice tikka masala ready meal, something the local takeaway has yet to master. In-laws in town for graduation tomorrow so I clean the house and then make a show off myself because everything M in law mentions is recently broken (hair dryer/Iron) or tempermental (Kettle). Had the place spotless and my stuff ready for tomorrow and I can't make some coffee or blow dry my hair goddamn Hope tomorrow goes well

Knee sore again, hasn't bothered me in a few weeks. Taught I was getting a good run of it. Looks like back to the physio again

I know the feeling.

It's the Friday going into a bank holiday weekend but I don't feel any sort of excitement for it. I just want to go home and be as far away from my job as possible.

Likewise. My job is grand and all but it's beyond boring. Doesn't help that I bore easily. I've even asked managers from other depts if they want any more hands on deck. One said he would send a bit of work my way. Plus there is a very public sector mentality here, service for the sake of service rather than merit, skill, qualification, experience. Everyone knows they will get promotion A if they are here X amount of time. Everyone knows they'll gat a pay rise on X date regardless of attendance or performance. Result - zero incentive to better oneself - why would you when the pleb beside you will get promoted because he or she is here longer.

*hits the snooze button again

This is the crucial bit for me. If my job were the least bit interesting I wouldn't mind so much. I wouldn't even mind being on a smaller salary than lesser qualified staff. Ok that last bit might be a fib
