    My little one never stops talking, ever. She talks in her sleep. Sometimes it is bloody exhausting. What drives me nuts is when I say it to someone, and they say, oh wouldn't it be worse if she couldn't talk/ was sick. Jesus Christ, I know that, I don't wish that for one second. Can I not just say how I feel without someone saying something that makes me feel that I'm being a right cow about it?:(

    My phone is permanently on silent. If someone calls I may or may not call them back at a later stage.

    I'm expecting my 'Misanthropist of the year' award any day now.

    People who leave 'ha' at the end of a text/whatsapp sentence or message when what they said wasn't even funny.

    e.g. "I'm going out tonight ha. what about you?"

    I don't understand it..

    I hate that crap. There's people out there who will always say "it could be worse".

    "Oh man, it's lashing rain and I got a puncture this morning."

    "Could be worse, at least you don't have cancer!"

    TA at the amount of people who don't seem to understand the importance of oil. I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of bearings suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. :(

    Some weeks ago the oil light flashed at me in my (7yr old) car, 2min later it was dead with a bang, and there was loads of oil in it, but after a engine strip and report to the manufacturer they are supplying all the parts for free as a goodwill gesture, The T.A is I have to pay the labour cost of the rebuild..

    And the car I put back on the road to cover the time my one was off passed the nct last week,:D the flippin coil went, ever feel like screaming??:(

    The oil light indicates oil pressure, not level. If the engine cannot build and maintain oil pressure for whatever reason, regardless of how much oil is actually in it, it will go BANG.

    2 that have really annoyed me last couple of weeks,

    Can't give out about your job anymore (yes I am looking elsewhere) without some eijet saying ''well just be thankful you have a job'' piss off

    also when you're booked off work for a few days, your first bit of time off in ages and some **** will always say ''well for some'' :mad:

    Motorists have been annoying me this week. My cycle home takes 5 or 6 minutes, and it's on edge of the town I live in. Still, on that short journey for the past few days, I can hear a car behind me refusing to overtake even though there's loads of room. I was cycling inside the broken yellow line, a few inches from the kerb, and you could nearly fit two cars on my side of the road, but this car is right up behind me without overtaking! It's not as if I were all over the road. Straight like an arrow, I am!


    You're after reminding me of the chap I saw on a bike this morning, and I was only lucky I did see him because it was still dull, wet weather out this morning and this guy had not so much as a stitch of reflective gear on him nor lights on the bike, nothing! Yet there he was battling into the wind and could fairly handy have been taken out of it by a passing vehicle!

    Also annoyed me the way it was just a heavy drizzle this morning, and I was thinking "Oh just piss rain and get it over with ffs!"... Seconds later I was thinking "I didn't actually mean that y'know!" :mad:

    I have learned that the "flashing" is worse than "on".
    Total rebuild, just as well I like that car, and am paying for it's transplant.

    When you open an article to see the comments (hopefully some debate or witty reply) and all you f**king see is people's names being tagged in the section...

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    Possibly. Do you have a workers number instead of a name between the hours of 8.00-5.30?

    Men (non boardsies obviously) who lose the run of themselves around certain women:mad:
    I just went to the school and traffic is at a standstill,anyway here comes Mrs Blond 152white Beemer driver and of course she wants to make a ridiculous turn(one you wouldnt have the gall to do even when theres no one around),what ensued was an embarrassment to watch.Men trying to mount;)footpaths to facilitate the muppet. The fella that I had just let out in front on me (and we are bumper to bumper) then decided to reverse.NOT A HOPE.He wont make that mistake again.
    The funny thing is that if the had taken a better look at her she was old enough to be my mother(in a preserved kinda way) but nah they see what they want to see.

    This is extremely trivial.

    The position of the chocolate bar stand in shops, garages etc. Hear me out.

    Which bar to take home and devour. It's the hardest decision to make obviously. Why do they put the stand right beside the till?

    It usually takes me a solid minute to properly decide but when I go past ten seconds I can feel the eyes of the cashier burning holes into me like I'm some sort of sugar starved psycho with commitment issues.

    It's worse when you're the only one in the shop. :(

    Living in another country where people pretend (yes, pretend!) not to understand my word for something when it's not the same as theirs.

    Examples -

    Queue - they say line-up, I say queue - they get all "I'm sorry, what?" - Come on FFS, queue is a word defined in the dictionary, it's actually way more relevant than line-up.

    Holiday - they say vacation, I say holiday - but they get all confused looking when I say, oh I'm on holiday next week. FIGURE it out!!! I know what vacation means, why can't you figure out what holiday means.

    I just bought (amongst other things) a GIANT bar of vanilla chocolate in Aldi.

    TA that I don't know where to hide it now, all my hiding places have already been found!!

    That little bit of plastic/tinfoil that insists on remaining attached to the opening of a tetrapak after I pulled the tab. Grrrrrrrrr.
