    Family members who believe in conspiracy theories. They can't be avoided like regular, non-family nutbags.

    Ordinarily, they aren't especially stupid. They can hold down a job and pay for a rearing a family. In this particular case, a divorce, a new partner and a fairly elaborate second wedding too. This makes their intellectual deficits all the more insidious, as much for the time spent doubting yourself when you are inevitably drawn into debating them. After which point, you realise that they are more stupid than you previously thought, but your will to live has been thoroughly tested and you'll never get back those few hours. You leave the room wishing Mossad actually was outside ready to ' take him off the grid '.

    Never argue with an idiot.

    They will drag you down to their level, and then beat you on experience.

    Putting on a white wash and gathering up a few extra bits to do a full load, just when you start the machine you spot a lone sock dropped on the floor and its too fecking late to stop the machine:(

    Wouldn't it be worse if it was just the one sock in the machine and the rest of the load was on the ground? :pac:

    My trivial annoyance for today is that I wanted to bake some bread, but the dry yeast I had in the press seems to be dead. Feck it.

    Where have people's manners gone these days?
    I don't expect hugs and kisses in the shop but a "Please" "Thank you" or "See you again" wouldn't go amiss.
    I've been to several shops today and not one cashier said one of those things.
    They all looked bored and as if I was inconveniencing them.

    When someone scoffs at or dismisses an idea I have voiced and then they have the same idea within the next day or two, acting like it's just come to them in an epiphany. And they make sure they get lots of credit for it as well. Having my ideas stolen in general - I only get the occasional brainwave :p .

    When someone asks for peace and quiet in a room but then starts nattering with their neighbour. Nothing shatters concentration quite like incessant chatter.

    Not having time to pluck my eyebrows. I'm a bit like Bert at the moment. Or is it Burt? Or is it Ernie?

    Having a terrible memory.

    Yes! Oscar has the bushy brows and Bert has the unibrow. Thanks :p. Actually most of the Sesame Street chatacters are a bit challenged in the eyebrow department!

    After 2 months of ownership I discovered this morning that my car has a voice control yokey. I thought it was an optional extra. Now it's a TA because I like to consider myself au fait with all the thingies on my vee-hickle.

    (As an aside, I had it on other cars and didn't feel deprived not having it and I certainly wouldn't pay extra money for it)

    The salesman (who for a change knew his stuff) told me he didn't think it worked very well. Was 8/900 quid extra too.

    My washing machine has decided it's not spinning stuff. I have a load of sopping wet towels in it:(. That fabulous moment when you realise you have not made enough mashed spuds to cover the top of the shepherds pie. I'd like to fcuk it all down the length of the garden, and come join ye in the pub. I'll be the cross looking little yoke with a rumbly belly :(

    Packaging. Especially that plastic moulded stuff that needs a stanley knife. You know for a set of earplugs or some such inane piece of kit.

    Now who has a stanley knife when trying to open one of these fekin things!

    Packaging in general is filling my green bin by the noonday. What is the point of it all. TA totally now. I opened a new toner cartridge for my home printer.

    Open cardboard package.
    Open plastic covering
    see bubble wrap (hate that, nowhere to recycle)
    And another interior covering of light paper.

    Jeeeeeeez. I'm sick of it. I was surrounded by bits of this and that all over the fekin kitchen. And for what!

    And breathe...... I feel better now after that explosion of ranting. Thank you.

    Could be something stuck in the filter?

    My TA for the day is my car that I've put up for sale recently, so obviously it has started acting up. Five years without even a minor glitch and as soon as it goes up for sale it behaves like a clown car. I think it knows...

    I bought a lip gloss,bronzer and eye liner on Friday and what a job i had to get the fecking things open (tried the bronzer again this morn but no luck:mad:).Tight sellotape wrapped around them,too tight to even fit the nail scissors into it..FFS its a joke but then I know if they werent wrapped morons would be testing them instead of the testers. Life is so hard.:pac:

    I had to go and buy a new washing machine this morning :( Mine is over 16 years old and owes us nothing, but for a few (many) months it's been doing weird things, not rinsing or spinning properly, the dial moves around randomly and other general worrying things. So I've known it will need replacing soon.

    This morning I could smell burning rubber during the spin so decided to take the plunge and not wait for it to go on fire or something...

    TA'd as I didn't plan on spending that kind of money before C*******s, but I suppose that's what the emergency fund is for
