    Bought a pair of earphones the other day. It was encased in the type of plastic packaging that needs a knife to open. Why can't they have some handy way of opening these things?

    Some annoying gobsh1tes were going around with airhorns, blasting them all day. I looked out the window and one guy was blasting one out of a car window as it drove slowly around the town. Another was walking up and down the street with one, blasting it close to a girl's ear at one point. The noise was irritating beyond belief.

    Just not my day today.....

    Woke up, saw 2 text messages on my phone from three.

    Bla bla bla, insufficient balance to renew your internet addon.

    Me thinking: that is weird, last time i checked there was €97,50.
    Go on line, check account; balance €80, addon active, expires 16-2-2019. Sounds about right.

    Ok, they messed up their texts.

    30 mins ago: Text from Three: Hi, we took €2 for a daily internet pass.
    Me: Oh no, you didnt?!?!

    Check account: €2 indeed taken and balance..... €0


    (insert picture of me with steam coming out of my ears)

    Call helpdesk (yeah, i know)
    Now i have a lot of patience with helpdesks but that patience is gone when i am being told by an indian script reader that i have to wait 24 hours till the system is updated.

    No, just no. You rob me of €80, i am not going to wait for 24 hours and not being able to make calls in that time. thanks for the one-off 500 mb data but data was the least of my problems.

    And the same thing just ****ing happened again yesterday. Including taking €2 for a daily mobile pass hours after i turned of my mobile data.
    Great day for it too.

    Apparently it is my inactive pay as you go plan what is causing this.
    Never mind it has been inactive for 8 months and out of those 8 months, there hasnt been a problem taking €10 for an internet add on for 6 of them.

    17 years i have been with these dildos, i hardly ever use my phone so any effort to switch providers (like there arent glorious stories of the other ones all over this site) is too much.
    But i guess i just might have to.

    This is quite ta, now I know how chronic dieters/exercisers feel . When you lose weight, how do you stay that weight and not lose more ?
    I mean unintentionally, from being more active. If I lose more I'll be invisible but I don't want to eat more than I normally do. I wouldn't normally care or deliberately try but now I've found myself this size, I like it.

    Bad spelling (and grammar) on the internet. It has gotten to the point where, over the course of nearly twenty years, the incorrect spellings have been ingrained in my head and I have to double check spellings that I knew, letter for letter, when I was younger. I hate it. :mad:

    Daylight savings time starts here on Sunday 31 March. However, I'm just back from visiting friends in the USA (Texas), where I already lost an hour to their DST switch on 10 March. So I have to go through that twice in one year? :confused:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    When your shopping online and you go to your basket and it flashes up items have being removed from your basket because they are now out of stock.

    I keep getting a black screen when trying to load pages on boards. I have to close chrome and reload it to be able to see the page. Annoying.

    Have a similar ta to Relikk, only it's my own fault for using poor grammar regularly.... Where did all my schooling go?

    Now I can't recall if the full stop goes inside the parentheses (or out).
    Should I comma it or semi-colon it? ...Can comma be used as a verb?
    How many commas can you actually use before starting a new sentence?
    Where to apostrophe does my head in... Damn, was that a preposition with which I just ended the last sentence? :o

    ...sigh

    Do I really need a third comma for a list or does it just look funny?

    I've just figured out the difference between there and their and getting us too, to and too :o

    News article: "he has a shock of brown hair". No, he just has brown hair. It's not shocking in any way, shape or form.
    TA'd at unnecessarily flowery language to meet a word count.

    People that can't use roundabouts correctly. Specifically, a 2nd exit that is past "12 o'clock". Hint - it's the last picture.

    Every time I go to a public ladies toilet, I'm in and out of a few cubicles trying to find an unflushed toilet, particularly those that don't have a yuletide log.

    Radio ads that announce the time apropos of absolutely nothing.

    "It's almost 3 o'clock. Time to refuel with Applegreen's new Fuelgood range."

    Why?

    Also, itchy underboob.
