    Christmas shopping:mad: I get so hacked off with it I want to scream. Why oh why can people not tell their left from their right? Just pick a fricking direction and stick with it, it's very simple, but oh no, they have to bump into you or cut across you. I have NO seasonal goodwill left now, NONE. I've got a hospital appointment tomorrow afternoon so I'm gonna be hitting the city centre at peak shopping time too:(

    People who use there cards to pay for everything. I meet up with a few friends for lunch every once in a while. The place we go is a bit out of town so we carpool there. 3 of us always bring cash as the place is always busy at the end of lunch and you have to wait ages to pay using your card.

    The other one always pays with her card which delays the whole lot of us leaving. The killing thing is she works right next to the Bank so could easily get to the atm.

    When we asked her why she wouldn't pay by cash in this place she tells us beacuse she would order more if she paid by cash???

    People who squeeze from the top of the tube instead of the bottom :mad:

    Thankfully most toothpastes are now plastic tubes, but with metal tubes (medical ointments, tomato/garlic paste etc) when you squeeze from the top, often the wear and tear causes the tube to bend and split open at the sides.

    I'd go as far as to distance myself from anyone who reasoned that they 'only wanted a little bit, so squeezed from the top'.
    Inconsiderate illogical wasters.

    I was really annoyed with someone earlier on this year and rather than lose my temper and post something juvenile and nasty on Facebook I chose to unfriend them. They in turn blocked me from seeing their page, I know all very childish, on both sides. In my defence I was really pis$ed off and I didn't want her kids reading some nasty comment if I posted one.

    So anyway, this evening her teenage daughter arrived with a Christmas card from her with one of those long rambling round robin things and saying she'll call up to us over Christmas. Dafuq, we haven't spoken to each other for months and her teenagers blank me:confused: Ain't no way in Hell I'm opening the door to her. I binned the card as well.

    Also people who use the term 'The Christmas'. It's Christmas, just Christmas, there's no 'the' in it.

    People struggling to carry their toddler or baby with one arm,while pushing the buggy with the other.

    Doesn't make any sense.

    2 mornings now I've had this car in front of me with its brake lights stuck on. There has been a gap of a month between both times so I tried to tell him. Meh, my failed good deed for the day! Cant fathom how someone can go a month with brake lights glued on but I tried. Still slightly annoying me but.. *shrugs*

    You could be talking about me - my kid sometimes refuses to sit in the buggy so I carry her. But then she changes her mind (or my powers of persuasion work!) and the buggy is her best buddy again.

    It's annoying for me too, but it gives me killer arms.

    Sign: This Door Is Alarmed.

    How do you alarm a door? Flash it? Threaten its hinges?

    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’.

    Had a great plan to hit Marks and Spencer after work to buy Mammy's presents. That's the end of it now and I want to avoid town for the entire weekend. I'm so siiiiiick of people bumping and bashing and their rudeness and queues and germs everywhere - moving stairs, door handles, pin pads....and then....I open the metro and see that marks will have 30% off all clothes....to-fuucking-morrow.

    One of the girls on the office has just spent about 15 minutes talking to her
    husband about the mobile contract and how they were going to change provider etc.

    She has a fairly loud voice so we were left with no doubt as to the most minute details of the call. Then she hangs up and says 'I was just talking to the husband about changing mobile provider'. No shít.

    Now she's telling us all the details of the call. She's still at it as I write.
    Company christmas party today. I'll be making sure I'll be seated far away.

    Still at it......

    Just relay the story to her before she can tell it since you heard it already, and watch her skull implode with rage. :D

    I'll remember that for next time as there will be a next time.
    We get a what I would call a daily running commentary on every detail of her life.
