Sorry should have said habitat. Someone went into their habitat and got eaten. And then they killed it. Oh no actually, they didnt even kill the right one, it was a different one.

But I presume they kill the sharks to make a place more safe ie. they are not doing it for fun nor chasing them around oceans. It has some utility.

If there is a lose rabid dog hanging around, and kids want to play, I say kill the dog. Let's not get hung up about who is in whose habitat, just neutralise the danger.

Swim in shark infested water - expect to get eaten.

Get rid of shark, solve problem.

As for hung up, I think the title refers to "things that annoy". Much of a muchness imo.

Yeah, because....there is only one :rolleyes:

I'm not interested in your verbal gymnastics. I'm still not "hung up". Perhaps you are

The person who just referred to their kid as "the bambino" :rolleyes:

The way my mother engages weirdos on public transport. I get that she is not in town every day and she is friendly so when someone talks to her, she talks back but serioulsy. The space cake that nattered to us the whole way home yesterday was creepy. And I grew up with her telling me to be wary of strangers. Pffft

So you are confirming it annoys you, but you object to saying you are hung up about it....and you say that pointing out they are pretty much the same is "verbal gymnastics"!

Rabid dog in the neighbourhood is a bad example. Should we kill all the tigers in Africa because they are a danger to humans?

I think you mean to respond to the poster who wrote "kill all sharks in the sea everywhere"!

I said if a shark is causing a problem, get rid of it. In much the same way if a tiger is posing a problem in some African village, get rid of it.

It has just been brought to my attention that a local hotel is hosting a slimming club of some sort called "Flab U Less". Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go and kick someone in the head... :pac:

Could you inject more of a shrill tone into all these posts about how not hung up you are. M'kay?

Which reminds of another one, texts that consist of "k".

Its terrible. You start getting irrational. Call the post office. Check the tracking numbers...and then you contact the seller to 'check' that they really really did dispatch the item.

Take solace in the fact that eBay vendors do indeed occasionally for get to dispatch stuff, and Parcel Motel occasionally loses things, both of which happened to me recently in the same week. You're welcome!

No, dont say that! Does constantly pressing F5 on the parcel tracker page help any?

TA'd that it is still Monday. Why is it still Monday? Why is it always Monday? Fifty fúcking Mondays in every month it seems

I wouldn't think so. I find standing on the chimney with a telescope and a pretend-wooden-leg going "Aaaarrrrrrrhh!! Parcel-lubbers ahoy!" good. I'm not sure if it helps much, but it's therapeutic.

My over weight boss who complains to me daily about how they cant lose weight. I just stand there awkwardly being a skinny minny and I know they hate me secretly for it!

Waiting on so many online clothes deliveries that I feel anxious all the time

When I get a missed call, phone person back ONE SECOND later and they don't answer? WHY?

Every member of the Kardashian family. And also people that LOVE them? WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYY??

Or when a piece of cheese gets pulled off and falls down, scalding your chin with the hot sauce attached to the bottom of it.

Be thankful it's secretly and not that general skinny shaming you get which cleverly disguises itself as "office banter".

"I don't know where you put all that big lunch" is ok whereas "Are you really going to eat that given how large you are" is not

She is really mean she followed me around at the Christmas Party one year pulling my dress down, saying it was "too short" and that I was too skinny to wear it????

I'm almost 30, I don't need to be mothered!!! She does hate me because of it, so as payback I just LOVE eating big massive slices of cake in front of her

Unattended children at a sporting event (usually a GAA match). Always, without fail, there is going to be one within the group that will fall and end up crying, heightening the annoyance of the neutrals around them whose enjoyment of the match has already been severely tested.
