Obsequious canned Nelson Mandela documentaries interrupting things I want to watch, with the obvious intent of milking his death for all it was worth.

Tell me I'm wrong.

It's all hideously fake. I hate things like that. I hate false grief and false hope. It's a hideous lie made worse by the fact that it's just a cash-in.

Scrolling through my phone I either open randomers profiles or report them. Sorry either way :O

In a shopping centre and they are blasting out xmas songs (How many ways are there to crucify Silent Night) and they are playing all the usual pap, Rudolph, Children roasting on an open fire, Santa Baby etc, and then in the middle of it all we get Frankie Goes to Hollywood singing (I think its called) The Power of Love, WTF, am I missing something there?

I think about 1984 or 85 it was a huge Xmas hit, saying that, why don't you hear Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall as that was a Xmas number one through the end of 1979 and New Year 1980.

When waiting for a bus people are nice and relaxed. Then the bus appears on the horizon and the tension starts to build. As soon as the doors open it is a free for all frenzy. I am a well built guy and am conscious of the fact that I could knock elderly people over and hurt them. They do not seemed to concerned about that. I could be the first in front of the bus doors and yet the6th person actually on the bus. Really annoys me. People need to have more fu*king civility at the bus stop.

Yeah I work with a stinky bastard and if I pass him in the corridor I hold my breath until a safe distance away as he leaves a wake of mould and piss.

When you come back home after 5pm, go into the living room, without turning the lights on and walk up to the window to close the curtains. And of course you hit your leg against the side of the chair, you think what cupid stunt put that there for me to walk into, and then you remember, it was you. :rolleyes:

Ah here. Would you stop yer messin', Starbucks.

I don't hold any truck with that sort of guff. There's not much I feel strongly enough about to make a public stand on but god damn it the phrase "large americano" is one of those things. If the person behind the counter either pretends not to or genuinely doesn't understand me I point at the large cup. I will NOT say venti. Jeepers I'm all fired up now thinking about it.

Today's trivial thing: I got a nice new pen and I want to use it but I have an OCD need to finish off the old crap pen first because it's nearly gone

You're the first person Pumpkinseeds I've ever heard couldn't wait to get away from UPC broadband. Ok their tv is shìte, but their broadband is pretty spiffy?

How come you left anyway or who did you go with after if you don't mind my asking?

Light breeze = bathroom door banging. Drives me insane.
A friend who texts me when I'm busy.
Noises, shouting. I'm trying to study - why don't you just shut up?

Wind even more.

Only finding 5 eggs in a box of 6 after you've arrived back home from the shop.

Having to recharge my phone battery once a week now.

Having lots of pieces of paper lying on your desk with all your passwords, email addresses, usernames, etc etc fookin etc on them. Then what happens when you lose one of them or heaven forbid you accidentally throw a piece into the rubbish bin and it is taken away, aaaaaahhhhhhhh.
