Companies that have Fur Elise on speed as their hold music.

Slowly...goes...insane...

I used to play that for hours on end, first thing I taught myself.

My family hated it so much ah well.

Not very good on the music frontier, so can't say I know that song.

But, while on the subject of on-hold music, most of it drives me made but there's this one company that has the deadliest on hold music ever. I have been tempted to ring them a couple of times, just to listen to the on hold music. I had to remind myself on these occasions to get a grip and not be weird. :P :pac:

One company I used to call had a compilation that sounded like a wedding march as their hold music. I hated calling them.

Aglomerado

A haulage company I used to deal with had awful Glockenspiel music as their hold music. It sounded like one of those wind up toys to send babies to sleep.

codeine does that....on tylex here, same formula as solpadeine...warding off migraine and dratted wrist pain.

simple aspirin might help more. or brufen.aspirin fights temperatures and infection.

suppose you have tried salt water,,,i mean on the abcesses...

Annoying relative has gestated and birthed another P1. Cue a nauseating two years of social networking feeds about mucus plugs, colostrum, baby yoga, baby sign language, la leche claptrap, photos of "the most amazing and beautiful and wonderful and did we mention amazing child ever" and updates about bowel movements and teeth and first smiles, first day in the animal prison zoo, first farts etc. Her first child will probably be sent to work in a factory in Bangledesh now - leave us oh large one, you are no longer a viable tool of annoyance. We have a new prune with an angry red face and greenish poop that we wish to replace you with.

Save us from the birthing boredom!

:DMine are all well beyond requiring a babysitter, I let the eldest (she is almost 9) mind the other two, unless it is a for longer than a weekend........

Seriously though, it seems these days (did I really say that) there is the "list" that is issued to the minder of said offspring.

Summer - only gets half a yogurt
Arapahoe - Banana (must be mashed)
Matt Talbot Bridge - No alcohol

And all to be in bed by 6.30

So I bought a packet of bobbins Friday after misplacing the pack I bought the previous month, only to find them today!!! For fudge sake!!! I literally pulled the place apart looking for them god damn bobbins and was down to my last scraggly one, when I gave in and bought another pack. And then I accidentally stumble across the pack I lost today!!! TO-FECKING-DAY!!! I bought the new pack on Friday. :mad:

Ugh. :mad: Happens to me all the fecking time! I'm also an expert at 'hiding' things, the hiding spots are so good....I can't even find the stuff myself when I go looking for it......:mad:

Sounds familiar. The quickest way to find something is to buy a replacement. I'd misplaced a couple of philips screwdrivers. Hunted around all over the house. Finally gave up after a few months, and bought replacements. I'd found them within 24 hours. Obviously after I'd removed all packaging from the new ones.

This is a complainers thread. We can complain about whatever the hell we want to complain about.

I'm not going to stop social networking just because someone had a poop machine. I'm also not going to stop listening to **** radio even though I complain about how **** radio stations are.

Children... i really have no time for them! I try to make an effort with my friends kids but all i see is noise and mess and money and it's always a relief to leave the carnage behind when they/I leave.

I'm far too selfish and want to do far too many things with my life to want to have to suddenly put my life on pause to bring up a gang of sprogs! Maybe somewhere a lot further down the line when my body is tired of enjoying itself but It's not on the cards for me in the next 5 - 10 years if it can be avoided. it's a pity not more women feel the same way but i guess that's more of a biological thing in their case.

All my friends with kids obviously love their offspring but i know even though they don't admit it part of them wishes they could pack up and head off with me on my travels whenever i leave.

Grace, I took it from the the above posts that you were picking on OldNotWise. Down with that sort of thing!

I was simply pointing out that this is a thread about 'trivial things that annoy us all'. We like to come on here and b*tch about stuff that p*sses us off. Sure, we could stop doing 'X' which causes us annoyance but then this thread would be empty and where's the fun in that?

P:S: SIW's, WTF?

Aye, something similar to myself -

When my wife goes away for the weekend she tells me feck off and mind my own business while she leaves a list of do's and don't's and emergency numbers with the young lad and puts him in charge.

We tear it up like "Weekend at Bernie's", but as long as nothing's out of place when she gets back, my wife is happy!

Yeah. Bit like when we go shopping, and Mrs. Goose gives me an Etch-a-Sketch and puts me sitting in one of those little Magic Bus ride-on things by the supermarket door. Yay!!!

i do not pick on anyone ever..

just cannot imagine any sane person going on doing what they despise and enjoying doing this....

life really is too short..and a bizarre idea of fun

old saying, if you cannot say something nice , dont say anything

one thing to find circumstanes annoyng when they cannot be avoided..

but enjoying being miserable...

Please don't report me to child protection, if they come and search my house, they might find all the cannabis growing in my attic.

If you are really concerned, I appreciate it. For the record, the initial part of my original post is correct, my "kids" are well beyond requiring a babysitter.
