Annoyance levels have been slowly building since yesterday afternoon, they are now full blown, people really are pissing me off this morning!

Candles in glass cases/holders. Particularly the narrower ones. Trying to light the little b@stards when they are any more than half way used, either there is not enough oxygen for the flame in the lighter, or you burn the feckin thumb off yourself. Yes I know, one of those gas cooker lighters would work fine, but I don't have one, and I'm not getting one for these annoying things.

If you have spaghetti sticks in cupboard just light one and stick it in the holder (according to PJ on 4fm last week),I havent tried it myself yet.

The sanctimoniousness of the reformed whore. These people used to smoke/drink/be fat, and now they've changed their ways, and boy will they tell you about it. You'd think that having been through it they'd have a bit of empathy, but it's almost always the opposite.

"If I can do it anyone can!" - if it'll result in me boring the arse off anyone who'll listen I'd rather not thanks.

Well, I used to smoke........as for the rest;)

Seriously though, an extremly difficult habit to break completely, it took me about ten years of trying to give them up before I was successful. But I always say to people, if I was to go to the doc and got "you have six weeks to live" talk, I'm straight to a shop for twenty Major.

Oh, and some cocaine and heroin, just to see what all the fuss is about.

I am the same!

6 weeks to live?
Back on the ciggarettes and weed and cigars.
Every drug known to man. And a few horse ones too.
Big dirty fry up every day.
Cake for the main course.
God knows what else I would get up to...but I am going out with a bang!

Starers who when you catch them staring at you, give it the whole 'yeah, what about it' and continue to stare back. I ALWAYS win the staring competition but I shouldn't have to be even engaging with you. Who are these people who have not a modicum of embarrassment when caught staring.

Boom_Bap · 02-12-2015 01:02PM

I'm off the smokes 10 days now. I think this is the first time I have said that I've quit with the exception of telling Mrs. Bap.

I've been getting that all week already having gone back on the smokes after trying those e-cigarettes. The next person that says "Oh you're back on them", "How long did you last?", etc, I'll want to slap them, but I won't, I'll do like I always do and take one long drag, draw it in deep, and exhale slowly...

By then I'll have calmed down again :pac:

Having been homeless and an alcoholic with a penchant for nose candy in the past, I'd say definitely trying to give up smokes is the worst! It doesn't help when I'm surrounded by people who think I don't care really when they're slagging me about it...

*sigh*

You should try to learn how to blow smoke rings in the shape of ships, like they do in cartoons. Only instead of ships, do a fúck you sign

Every year I try to be organized for Christmas, yet every year there is just that one thing that is either impossible to get or I know nothing about and am too afraid to actually commit to purchasing. Usually when someone who wants a "surprise" all along suddenly says, "actually, do you know what I'd LOVE?" about a month before Christmas. (insert item that has just gone into prohibition or that everyone else wants or that doesn't even exist). This year, it's a stand up paddle board.

What? Presumably (and by my cunning powers of deduction), it's a board that one paddles on while standing? Why would you do that? Why would you want one?

DareGod · 02-12-2015 01:41PM

Someone who constantly posts about their fitness progress on Facebook...

In my experience, it's usually the people who are relatively new to fitness and exercise who do this... the people who were once totally out of shape... who this time last year wouldn't get off the couch to make the tea never mind go to the gym.... and that's great, I'm positively delighted for them, and their first few posts about their progress makes me happy.... this is good news, yes.

BUT..... when it's five months later and they've been updating us all practically every single day on what they did today! At that stage that's called pure attention-seeking, GO F*** YOURSELF!

"Block them then!" I hear many people dying to smugly instruct me. Even if I did block them, they'd still be doing it, and its their doing of it that annoys me, regardless of whether I can see it or not. Also, sometimes it's someone I do genuinely like and care about, and I do want to be aware of their other posts. Unfortunately it means putting up with all their attention-whoring too.

*and breathe*

Are we talking about kids, here? If it's adults, I have two words for you: Kris Kindle.

If it's kids... I have no advice.

It's a 35 year old kid by the looks of it. I think some people treat the "what do you want" question as a challenge.

I hate the way I constantly put myself off the way I look. Hair worn up. Do I look like a fraggle? Stripey top, or something brightly coloured. Do I look like a kids TV presenter? Skinny jeans. Do I look like a dwarf? Gillet. Do I look like a vacuum packed chicken? The list is endless and exhausting

Just get him the paddle, and a fair warning that you're willing to use it - not in a good way - and that he should consider himself lucky 'cause you could have left him up to Sh*t Creek without it.

Ugh, did anybody ever get arthrocentesis here? TA that I got called and might need to get it, it's like a spinal tap on a joint, so my hip, and I might just be dying at the thought of it :pac:

Tell me how · 02-12-2015 02:18PM

F*cking Bed Clothes.

All of them.

Which sheets/duvet covers are single/double/Queen/King etc. I know it should be obvious and I'm an idiot for not being able to get the better of them but I dread changing the bedclothes because of how they mess with me.
Last week I changed the bedclothes and picked up 4 different fitted sheets for the double bed to find that each one of the 4 was for a King sized bed. Trying folding a fitted sheet on your own! B*stards.

Why do the manufacturers feel the need to put the address of their factory in Spain on the label but cant clearly tell me what bed size it is for is beyond me.

What really annoys me is how it should be so simple and is nice to have clean sheets but my God is it a ball breaker to actually do it.
