Going to murder someone.
I posted about this before. The laundry facilities are worked off a coin meter here. As soon as I have topped up the credit and started the washing machine, one of my neighbours sniffs out the money and uses the dryer. So yet again I confronted her. I said where will my wet clothes go when the cycle ends if you use the dryer? I said I paid for this and you don't have any right to come down and make it more difficult for me to wash my clothes as she already uses the dryer seven days a week. She said it's my problem and she can use what she likes and it's irrelevant who pays. No it's fkicng not irrelevant as it's my money that she is trying to scab off and I am here now with wet clothes unable to dry them. I have never seen anyone so ignorant and I told her this as well. I could be waiting until tonight late to start another wash. It's at the stage where I can't get my towels and sheets washed with her. You need to watch the machine in case she uses it.
I have lived in loads of places but these people would walk over your bleeding corpse to dry their fcking clothes.

Open up the drier & piss in it, the stank of dried in piss will learn them

She has serious issues. She looks like she would draw a dig on you so I might leave my knickers on a while yet. I heard of people getting stressed over washing but this takes the biscuit.
Edit. As per my original post on the topic, the bulb hasn't been replaced in over a year since I refused to do it. Scroungers anonymous meetings anyone?

People you give a lift to who close the air vent pointed at the passenger door window and leave it that way so next time you're driving without a passenger and the window mists up, you have to stop the car to open it again!

1. Driving in the U.K. listening to Radio 1, and I hear a song, and I'm thinking ah, Years & Years, decent band, saw them at Glastonbury (on TV), decent song, I listen away, happy out.... at the end of the song, the DJ comes on, "Thats the brand new one from Justin Bieber". TA'd that I kinda like a Justin Bieber song.

2. People who change a headlight bulb on their car and put the new bulb in upside down. You can spot them easily, they're heading towards you, and it looks like one of their high beams is on, No. they just put in a bulb upside down.

3. Arriving on an Aer Lingus flight from Gatwick last night and docking in Terminal 1, and having to walk for AGES (on a very sore foot) to get to the T2 baggage hall, all the while seeing all the empty gates in T2, with no planes parked (I know they are free for the U.S flights arriving in the morning, but park us there, let us depart, then tow the plane over to T1).

4. TA'd that I forgot what #4 was, it was good.

Nothing worse than red raw skin from blowing your nose! A bit of vaseline on it will help

Yup. Welcome to 2015 in the countryside.

I had to stay up late last night as my OH downloaded it, it took ages and of course he had to try it out as well then..

I have a google chrome extension for my bank feed that allows me to export all my business bank transactions into my business accounts system.

But this morning my internet banking is no longer giving me the option to export to the business accounts system. (I'd removed the plug-in and re-intstalled but no joy). There is a message on log-in saying that the internet banking system got updates overnight, so it'll likely be related.

Don't know how I'd cope doing in my accounts without this plug-in. And annoyingly, my feeling is that if I rang the bank's telephone banking department / online chat, chances are they wouldn't know what I was talking about.

This may end up being more than trivially annoying, time will tell, but crossing my fingers it'll fix itself.

I have to go outside, but it is rainy and windy.

I don't know what I should do at lunchtime. I am trying to lose weight and I have my running gear with me, but my co-worker that was meant to be running with me didn't bring his gear. I could eat a salad but then I'll feel bad. Or I could have some drinks as I am going through some personal sh*t at the moment and that is the most appealing.


I'll end up staying at my desk and doing nothing except post on Boards for an hour because I am incapable of making a decision.

My advice: Base it on the TA / TH threads.

Would you prefer after lunch to be posting in the TA or TH thread?

If you will end up trivially annoyed by sitting at your desk all lunch, then let's avoid that

Whichever of the decisions that will result in a trivial annoyance get avoided.

Go for the one that will make you have a reason to post in the 'trivially happy' thread.

I say if you're going through some personal sh1t, then if having some drinks helps, so be it. But that's just me.

But yeah, I totally live my life based on TA thread vs TH thread

Go to that thread that has the big red button that gets you banned when you press it. Boards problem solved!
And seriously, if you have stuff going on in your head then a good run may do you the world of good. Exercise is so good for clearing the head.
And you wont feel guilty!

One for the ladies, you know when you get your eyebrows done and they always ask are you going anywhere nice or going out or going to an event or something. As in that is the only possible reason why you're getting your eyebrows done. I always feel stupid when I say: 'No I'm not doing anything they just need doing'. I get my eyebrows done when they start to get a bit wild. I don't get them done because I can't go some party or whatever with imperfect eyebrows.:rolleyes: Every bloody time I get asked it.

The hairdresser asks me the same when I get my hair done, and it annoys me too, I think they just do it to make conversation. I always lie and pretend that I'm going out for drinks. I admit that I do feel like it is a bit of a waste when my hair looks so good and I go home and get right into my pyjamas :pac:

I've always just shaved the middle bit in between, to give them some separation

Don't worry I'm the most un-lady ever. I should edit that to say: 'anyone who gets their eyebrows waxed.'

Ha-ha well there might be men who get theirs waxed :P

My unladylike bit is understanding what 'eyebrows needing done' means. It just goes over my head.

But I have checked with some female pals just in case I look a stare and they've said my brows are fine. Phew

You never know. Ha! I'm someone who gets my eyebrows done twice a year. So when I do get them done it's because they 'need doing'.

I TA myself cos I don't think I even know how to know when they need doing. I think I need to go on some course or something in being a female lol

Ha! To be honest I don't know either. It's all guesswork. I'm happy with my eyebrows for most of the year and who cares what anyone else thinks (not that anyone has told me). I thought it might have been a good idea considering it's been 5 months since the last time.

To be fair, you should be fine, a monobrow is only really a problem for people with 2 eyes.
