Well yes, that is correct, but some people find it easier when talking to say James's - and since it means 'James, his gate' they are not wrong either.

Damned bottle of cooking oil that falls down from the cupboard and spills all over laminate flooring, jesus it's like death trap central. I thought I'd cleaned it all up last night before going to bed, walking across the floor this morning in my shoes, and lost my footing when I slipped on what felt like a polished floor, managed to keep myself upright though!

The water in the shower wouldn't heat up this morning even though there was hot water in the boiler. My bf fixed it but then my shower was too hot. My skin is still red!!

When people have little or no knowledge of sayings/proverbs. You say " empty cans make the most noise" and you get a blank stare or " you can bring a horse to water..." and they can't finish it, don't understand.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket"...what eggs?

I don't say them often buts it's good when the other person can relate to what you're saying.

People in airports piss me off:
Queuing to enter departures- their turn and it's "Argh can't find my Boarding card"
Queuing to go through security - their turn and it' "argh can't find my bag of liquids"
Queuing to board plane - their turn and it's "argh can't find my passport"
Queuing to go through border control - their turn and it's "argh can't find my passport"

I mean jesus fecking chrisht, would ye have these things ready while you are getting towards top of the Queue

And DON'T GET ME STARTED on the people who just stand on the floor escalators rather than walk

My sons school sent out a book list over the summer. One of the books we had to get was "Planet Maths 1". So we got it, and we also wrote our sons name inside the cover using marker pen as per the school instructions.

We and about 3/4 of the rest of the class got the wrong book. We got the activity book, not the study book and both have virtually identical covers.

The schools attitude is "Sorry, we should have specified it better, but tough you still need the right book".

i'd murder a coffee but there's not enough time to drink it before class to guarantee the lack of a panic attack at all the humanity around me

i miss the days when I could just take euphorics and not have to worry about it

It is very difficult to wind me up. I only get wound up when I feel like someone who is supposed to care about me is purposely trying to get a rise out of me. This situation almost never happens to me but when it does, it really pisses me off:

When someone starts an argument with you, and you calmly succeed in pointing out to them clearly and concisely why what they're saying is completely incorrect, and so they've run out of things to come at you with, so then they say something like "You're being argumentative / over-defensive" to try and make you look bad, because they've been proven 100% wrong and have nothing else to say.

I really hate that passive aggressive sh*t, especially when it's a friend who's doing it.

e.g. this conversation that happened last week with a friend

Them: "I think [insert claim about me and how I live my life here]"
Me: *gives clear evidence as to why this is incorrect*
Them: "Okay well I think [insert another claim about me and how I live my life here]"
Me: *gives clear evidence as to why this is incorrect*
Them: "Well I think no matter what I say you're going to be over-defensive."
Me: *screams inside, because now there's absolutely nothing I can say without them "winning" that argument*

So they've knowingly wound me up, I've defended myself, and they've tried to make me look aggressive for defending myself. Am I not meant to? Am I meant to just say "Yeah, you're right" even when what they're saying is completely factually incorrect? Or am I meant to just ignore what they're saying? If I ignored them, they'd say "Why are you ignoring me?"

Argh. I really hate that.

Try being Scottish for a day, where everytime I speak more than 5 words in a sentence, people think I'm going mental and tell me to "calm down".

Friend 1 - "Dave, where abouts is Daybreak around here?"

Me - "I don't know I only moved here yesterday"

Friend 1 - "Jesus, relax bah I was only askin'"

Friend 2 - "What's up with Dave?"

Friend 1 - "I only asked him where the shop was and he got t'ick"

That wasn't the best of examples, but essentially, my tone of voice allegedly sounds as if I'm in a fit of rage when, in all reality, I'm completely calm in myself..

Another TA that can be combined with the one above is when I am having a conversation with someone and they go "shhh" because apparently I'm talking too loud.......... It's 3 oclock in the f**ing day and we're outside in the middle of town. And, for the record I'm not shouting, I'm talking. It kills the tempo of the conversation for me. I just happen to have one of those voices that are of a higher decibel to others.

I'd be trivially annoyed there was even a thing such as the activity book, that's what copybooks are for!

My TA (or two in fact) are to do with movies:

1. That fake scream that's inserted to movies as an in-joke/nod to the first movie that's ever used it. It's so jarring when you hear it and think "FFS, another movie that has it".

2. The fake noise they add in when people are eating in scenes, who drags their cutlery against their teeth when putting food into their mouth or taking the cutlery back out again?

Damn you Foley people!

I hate that!! I will never leave my mess behind. I'd feel horrible afterwards. Yeah, they get paid to do it but that doesn't mean one has to be a díck about it.

The only time I'll be okay with them putting my rubbish in the bin is if I'm already on the way there and they kindly take the tray from me and thank me for bringing it up. Manners cost absolutely f**k all - you've nothing to lose when you do it, so why is it such a tedious problem for some people?

Ugh!!!

That muppet who voices the Bridgestone Tires ad on the radio. "Your tires are the only part of your cars safety system that touches the road." Lose the fake american accent ya fúcktard. You're Irish, we know you're Irish now cop on ya sap. Nothing worse than some turnip-faced muck savage putting on a fake american accent.

American spelling is a pain, but the brand name is Bridgestone Tire so I had to go with that.

I had an awful nightmare last night where a good friend was killed in a car accident. I can't get it out of my head. I hate remembering my dreams/nightmares.

I wrote last week that I wasn't sure if I was getting a cold or not; that I was in limbo between being well and being ill.
Well I have a cold now.

I can't taste anything, my nose is blocked, my nose is running...I just feel bleurgh.
All I want to eat is salt and vinegar crisps but what I am going to have is salmon and vegetables.
Someone mind me.

Fair play to you for going for the healthier option, its so easy to give in when you feel sick. Hope you feel better soon.

Ah sure I would have given in months ago, without a second thought, but I'm half a pound shy off losing 2 stone since July so I'm trying to be good.
Plus, I know salmon and veg is better for me.
Thanks

I always see stupid 'Disney princess' posts on my FB timeline these days.. 'this is how these Disney princesses would look if they were real people', 'this woman dressed up as all the Disney princesses and it's amazing', 'this is how the Disney princesses would look aged 40' etc etc. who cares about the ****ing Disney princesses? Why are there so many posts about them all the time??

You probably clicked on it the first time it came up and now you are getting similar ones. Click on the wee down arrow beside the ad and select "I don't want to see this".

Shyness and bad hearing are a terrible combination! I either can't speak up because I'm shy and afraid of miss-speaking or I can't follow what is being said because conversation is being drowned out by background noise. It's grand if I'm face to face with someone - I can read their lips, but if someone is speaking beside me or behind me I might not even know that they're talking!

I am half deaf too so I agree on that one. Total conversation in pubs pass me by because all I can hear is a loud murmur. I end up with a gormless smile on my face pretending to follow what is going on!
Thankfully I no longer have the shyness though.

Yeah! And I often get caught out because I smile and nod and I actually have no idea what I'm nodding at - then when I'm asked to explain why I'm agreeing I'm like "ehhhh... I dunno!"

I've mostly grown out of my shyness too, but so much in my life is new at the moment that I've gone back into my shell a little bit. I'm sure I'll come back out of it soon, though, as I'm meeting lots of lovely new people .
