I know Jim. This should have been a red flag, but hindsights a great thing. Although I wax my oh and he's straight (enough!) so, I don't know. Men are getting more into the manscaping I think

One of my mother's friends is now using the box room to bed down in.
Why do they always come to us? I just wanted a quiet night in with some rum and coke but no.. our house always has to cater to the marital problems of others. Urgh. I have a strict policy of not getting involved with other people's conflicts but my mother never listens and so I have to be subject to the bawling and the drinking and the inadvertable noise filtering in from the living room.
Boo-urns.

As someone who has his birthday soon after Christmas, I can tell you that most people just scrimp on your presents

Aww sorry to hear that, that's crap! Have a hug! *hug*

On behalf of my fellow birthday in Dec/Jan peeps sorry.

We get nothing as everyone is broke

People who say 'in before the lock'. Why do people post this? Do they feel special that they posted before a thread gets locked? That's as bad as posting 'Omg first!!!!!' on YouTube videos

Having an interesting dream, someone's just about to tell you something when the alarm goes off and now you'll never know what was about to be said

Just catching up on the TA thread.

I need to know more about the pink sparkly pony given as a gift !

"Hunt for killer shark" - why? Sorry but if you want to swim in a shark's natural habitat then you should be prepared to accept the consequences ie; that you might bloody well get eaten. Leave the poor f.ucking shark alone. All that can be achieved by killing him is satisfaction of mob blood lust and revenge.

People are such w.ankers

People who KNOW they're gorgeous and put up selfies of themselves in their best poses and then acting all modest when they get tons of compliments.

There's a girl on my Facebook friends list who is really beautiful but she fcuking knows it and is ALWAYS posting selfies of herself...then acts all surprised when she gets compliments from men and women alike.

Hate these f.uckers. They're as bad as the thoroughly average bints who insist on posting silly posing photos of themselves. I've a relative who's OH is well into her twenties, they've a kid together etc. I was looking at her profile the other day and every single photo of her was one of those silly schoolgirl pouting ones with big f.ucking angular eyebrows and a shocked expression on her face. Why do women do this? They all make the exact same face!

Aww don't hate on the angular eyebrow!

People who make you feel old. The young taxi driver who drove us to the pub last night asked if we'd been to the disco the night before. My answer was 'I haven't been to a disco here since '92'. That made me feel old, and no, we did not go to a disco last night either. Fecking shocking price of drink, it's been a long time since we went to a pub.

heeheee something similar happened to me a while ago. We'd an electric outage in our area and as I drove home, an usher stopped me to inform me that the youth disco was cancelled. "Do I look young enough to be going to a youth disco?" I asked, as I batted my delighted eyelashes at him. "No", he replied, "I just thought you might have had some kids in the back"

There's nothing wrong with an angle, it's when the bloody thing becomes a pencilled-on, anorexic, upside down V that I am annoyed, trivially so when it's paired with that stupid pout.

- people who have such bad breath that when they open their mouth while sitting next to you, is so potent would knock you out.

- girls who dress ridiculously. This young wan, 15 denier tights on her, lace short shorts, like so short that the boy shorts I've got on as underwear is covering more of me than her shorts is of her. Then she's there with a big massive Cape on her and a scarf. Ffs. If it's that cold out don't leave home without your pants.

-- the realisation that I'm turning into my mother, God help us.

No this guy that comes into work to have his waxing done. He keeps coming back to me and God, I do be delighted seeing him come into the salon, he's unreal looking. Really tall, Northern accent, muscley, and smooth. Really good dress sense, lovely hair. Stubble. He looks like he fell out of a magazine. And then casually mentions his boyfriend today. Devastated.

And it took you more than a minute to tell he was gay?

People who wish their other half a happy anniversary on Facebook.

Would they not just say it to their partner directly? With a card perhaps? And a ride?

One of my gripes, it actually drives me into a mini rage, when someone posts a heartfelt tribute to a lost love one on an anniversary but directly 'talks' to them in the post.

Couldn't agree with you more, just foolish.

Another Facebook TA. Couples in the same house, the same feckin room, talking to each other via Facebook, and being the first to thank each other's stupid status updates. Paying creepy, heartfelt tributes to each other, and what amazing spouses they are. F**k right off, ya sad sacks!!!!

My birthday is VERY close to Xmas, and as a kid, when getting a gift from and aunt or uncle, you see it slowly dawning on them, and they would say "Ah, sure that will do you for your birthday as well..." or my main present would a bike from Santa, and a bicycle pump for my birthday:D

ah ha haaaa :P RIP whores is what they are. Delighting in the shows of false grief and high drama. If they knew anything about bereavement they'd know the last thing someone wants to do when suffering grief is hop onto social media and start spewing this utter tripe. Friend of mine knew a group of young wans (the PB/Juicy Couture kind) whose group seemed to have a lot of teen/early twenties deaths and they had pretty much gone into competition with each other re shows of grief. There were funeral packages (hair, nails, makeup) as well as fights over who got to sing Angel/play the guitar/walk "up the aisle" first. Silly girls with no real concept of the finality of death, practising morbid oneupmanship. Tools.

Happy (belated?) Birthday E!

People who spend ages looking at a treatment menu, then approach you and ask you prices of things. You just read it, ffs. The menu isn't lying to you.

Leaving a list of cleaning jobs to be done, and deliberately not booking people in this morning so as to give them a chance to do the cleaning without being disturbed. Getting to work an hour later and finding a new spotify playlist made, and no cleaning done. Grrr. I need to work on being more cross.

On the RIP thing, I suppose most people mean well, but still come out with daft comments. I remember a friend of mine, when his young child died, being told "Ah God needed another angel in heaven" , his response was "That's bollox, if "god" needs more angels, why not just make them?"

OldNotWIse

LexieOnRale wrote: »

I did. I ended up buying half a leg but there was a load of meat on it. So, I carved off some of the meat to give her the next day, and gave her the bone with some meat still on, on Christmas Eve. She also had her own mini portion of baked beef pudding (turkey mince was sold out!), lovely long roam in the forest, change of duvet, new blanket and extra cuddles because it's Christmas

Shudder I'd a cousin that died young and we practically had to gag my (albeit well-meaning) gran and drag her out of the house when he was being waked. She came out with some classics - "well he said he'd come home for Christmas and he did" / "at least now you don't need to worry about where he is at night and if he is getting into trouble"

I had a weird squirmy feeling in the pit of my stomach listening to her. Doctrine of transferred shame?

That's ireland for you. Not a good word to say about the living and its "some mothers son/daughter" that makes the dead into saints. Even with that scumbag that wrote himself off in prison over xmas, sure he's an "angle" now himself.

A friend of mine's brother had a baby that was stillborn a few years ago. At the funeral, my friend's stepmother told the brother and wife "well at least you can have another one" :mad:

2. Feed her to it/all three.

That's actually a common reaction to a miscarriage I think. People telling you there'll be other times or that it wasn't the right time or that it's natures way of getting rid of something that wasn't perfect.
