I'm going to. I'll give him a chance to breath after the chat about holding doors open specifically for women. He's unusual...he can rethink his beliefs and attitudes and take other people's points on board.

Do you think it's your hearing? I ask because I've recently, as in the last few years, have lost a fair percentage of my hearing which makes pubs etc way too much hassle.

Guinness. The new 4 pack wrapper. They’ve changed from the tight plastic wrap to shjtty cardboard. Apart from advertising the Guinness logo etc, the wrapper has one job......to hold the fcuking cans in place. IT DOSENT HOLD THE CANS IN PLACE.

I'm only in my twenties and feel you too dubstarr, don't think it's my hearing, people just don't seem that interested in human interaction unless necessary anymore

You're in your twenties, Dubstarr is in her fourties, I'm in my thirties so we have three different decades of ages of social awkwardness! I'm not sure what age Princess Calla is and of course I wouldn't dare guess a woman's age! :P

I'll give ye one to sort of counter the socially awkward people. I am a very outgoing person. I can walk in to a room of strangers and will know everyone within a few hours. My missus,my brothers and her brothers are the opposite. When we go somewhere I am the one expected to do all the talking and there are times where I just want to sit and be left alone but I am expected to carry the group cause if I don't no one else will and then we look like a bunch of dick's not interacting. Be nice to have the burden taken once or twice.

I saw a meme on FB about a man in a cafe with no iPad, laptop, phone, books or earphones in. "the psycho!" it said. funnyish but sadly accurate now. everyone's locked into digital worlds. Even when I was with my ex he'd be furtively typing on WhatsApp in front of me. I have no time for that.

I forget where I saw this tip but if you're very nervous, imagine the person you're talking to wearing a fluffy bunny costume.

For the second time in 9 hours, I caught only the last 4 minutes of the Match If The Day, last night's and then the repeat this morning. I know I could have recorded it, but still...exactly 4 minutes each time, with the same person talking!

NewbridgeIR · 06-10-2019 9:14am

Went to a local cafe for breakfast last month. Asked for my fried eggs to be cooked over easy and the waitress said “no problem”.
The eggs came out perfect. Skin on top and perfectly runny in the middle.

Went back there today and asked for the same. Different waitress who said “so you want the eggs hard?” I said no and explained what over easy meant. She said ok.
The eggs came out over hard.

I like quiet people. They can be very thoughtful and observant. Weirdly though a TA of mine is being described as quiet. It's called listening and adding my view as and when. I've never left a conversational gap anyway. The only people who ever called me quiet turned out to be arses probably hoping for a timid woman to dominate.

I hate when people say too me "Ohhhh why are you so quiet, he's very quiet isn't he" .

Empty vessels make the most noise Sephers,just show them a photo of your fiancee and they'll back off lol.

Washed my jeans and they went back to their pre-stretched state but they feel like they shrunk three sizes. The jeans waistband and my stomach grew out together quite a bit the last month it seems. Wish I could shrink my stomach by just giving it a wash too ðŸ˜‚

Widdershins · 06-10-2019 1:39pm

You know they say not to wash your jeans, put jeans in the freezer instead

I switched off my phone one night and it was the worst night ! I didn't realise how much everyone is constantly on their phone, texting , googling. Every attempt at conversation involved showing something on the phone. I had to leave

I don't showing something on the phone mind if they're giving an example with a photo or something. That's not sneaky, low, or excluding the person in your company.

If I have to reply to a message I'd explain it's for e.g.. my friend who is struggling with something, or it's a relative.

Way back, the standard measure was what, today, is a double.
So what is today's single was known as a half drop.

Was physically killing myself trying to fix something earlier today and exclaimed "Fúcking Hell!" and then a voice comes from my phone, 'According to Wikipedia Fúcking Hell is a German Pilsner or pale lager with an alcohol content of 4.9%. It is named after the village of Fúcking in Austria; hell is the German word for 'pale' and a typical description of this kind of beer.'

Fúcking Hell!

When people don’t listen to me.

I met one of my aunts at my uncles funeral a few weeks ago. Haven’t seen her in years, and have no real interest in being close with her after she said some nasty things about me, my sister and my father after my mother (her sister) died.

At the funeral she told me she has kept all the cards from every single flower arrangement we’ve put on her grave over the past 10 years and said she’d send them to me. I asked her not to, as I really didn’t want them. They only hold painful memories for me.

They arrived in the post a few days ago. I was fit to be tied. Why can’t people just fu(king listen?

Defective season 5 disc 6 in the Barnaby Jones DVD box set (8 seasons - 179 episodes) so just discovered now - more than two years after purchase.

Emailed Amazon.com and asked would they send me the standalone season 5 as a replacement solution. Told them I realise that the return window is long since closed but asked them to make exception on basis that 1) it'll only cost them $20 and 2) I have placed in excess of 500 orders with the group over the last 15 years.

Computer says no.

My fecking car. Second hand, fair enough, but 3 months old to me - first funny business with the "entertainment unit" switching to the next song when I pressed the clutch after idling, then the brakes "seizing" when I park it overnight on a tiiiiny slope, then the squeaks from the suspensions when I get out of the car (and no, I'm not a hippo), and the squeaks from the accelerator, then the noise coming from the steering wheel that sounded like I was winding up an old-fashioned clock, then the fuel gauge playing tricks on me and telling me I used up two whole "tabs" of petrol in 9km, and tonight, the last straw: an airbag error. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!

After lots of hassle, delays, etc., I got the car back on Thursday. The issue with the "entertainment unit" hasn't gone, and the car now has a bad dent on the bonnet. I'm fit to be tied.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Catching someone out in a lie is a big TA. I would almost prefer not to know that they were lying than deal with the figuring out why they bothered lying in the first place.
If that makes sense…

I was on a Ryanair flight yesterday. This old phart about the same age as myself gets on the plane and sits in the window seat of our row........except he leaves his suitcase sitting in the aisle of the plane........just abandoned like......for somebody else to deal with.....
