DHL texted me to say they're delivering a package I ordered, tomorrow.
They won't specify a time and I will be out most of the day.

Bought some vacuum storage bags today.

The clerk told me as she gave me my change back with a cheery "Enjoy"

TA'd at how exactly I am to enjoy Vacuum storage bags.

I was in a shopping centre today, sitting down having a coffee with a friend.
There was a woman sitting across from us with a man.
She kept glancing over at me.

She did it at least four times. She actually turned her head to look at me. Then she whispered something to her companion and he looked too.
She looked at me again. And again.

Finally, I said "Are you alright?" to which she replied "Yes fine".
I don't know what the hell her problem was.
I didn't have spinach in my teeth and I wasn't naked.

I find people staring SO rude. When I was a kid, I was always told not to stare at people.

Sorry but I have to ask... isn't 'mum' a noun?

Ordered tshirts for a convention about 3 weeks ago. The convention is this weekend. Got a 'dispatched' email on Saturday saying that the expected delivery date is the 28th October. WTF? Clearly weren't in stock when I ordered them but that wasn't mentioned when I ordered.

So I ordered another tshirt yesterday morning and paid extra for express delivery. Got the 'dispatched' email today saying it would be delivered Friday......after I leave for the convention.
Express delivery is NOT 4 days after I order. :mad:

Enjoy life, the day ahead of you, possible plans you have arranged but didn't specify.

I suppose it is, or at least it has become one. I'd see it more as a term of endearment. The formal noun would be mother. But even if it is a noun, it's when used in the context above, in ads in particular, especially in the plural, that is my TA!

T.A'd at Technology. Ya have to set aside a good hour anymore now for updates and then it plays with yer head majorly. All tabs loading and circling for about 3 hours constantly pausing or stopping n' starting or whatever and then it switches off and back on again and it's "initializing" for another half an effing hour. :rolleyes::rolleyes: FCUK off.


T.A.'d at Smart-Phones. Just. EVERYTHING about them. There just shouldn't have ever been any circumstance whereby we went from such wonderful Battery-life of the Blockia days to what we have now. There's just no excuse for it. I just find it in-comprehensible. Loads of other things about them too, but would be here for 3 days writing. Went to turn up volume on Phone today using the ya-know Volume button. Press it up volume should raise. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. What did I get?! Some sh1te about Priority, none and all? Zero idea what that is about. I'll tell ya what ye should be making a priority. For the effing Volume-button to do what it's supposed to do!

Similar, I go to do a text message on the damn thing and its so bloody sensitive that it always triggers this annoying app with the blaring What Would You Like To Do!!!!!!!!. Fcuk off I already know what I want to do.

'He was a very friendly man but he kept to himself'

You often get this soundbite from a neighbour in a headline when its reported in the media someone died. Who doesn't keep to themselves. 'He kept to himself' sounds like some caveat about the person like they are alluding this is some chink in their personality. Oh of course you could never say the same about the people who say this about others even if they dont know they names of their nearest neighbours. I think what the nosey parkers really mean is ''We didnt know enough about him as we wanted to because they kept to themselves you see''. What do you expect?, for them to be knocking in to their neighbours houses on the way back from the shops to tell them the latest gossip or ask to borrow some sugar?. Is this what you have to do to avoid that horrible soundbite.
Hate that phrase.

Shakeydesk guy across from me opened the window and then put on his scarf. I'm growing to despise him

Someone in my office has just microwaved some sort of Fish meal.....the smell of it is gross...at 9am. Yeuch.

I have to pass by a neighbour every morning who is walking towards me in the opposite direction.

Every time I see her, I say "hello" too soon which leaves about 3.5 awkward seconds of saying nothing and not making eye contact to pass by oneanother.

TA'd that I have to attend a training course for a new software programme but it's not completed. What's the point in training people on something that isn't finished

No, honestly, that's the only thing I do that's a bit freaky! Don't care if the ware is stacked in the sink instead of put into the dishwasher. Don't care if clothes are left on the floor instead of the laundry basket. Don't even care if the toothpaste is squeezed from the middle!

But for some reason, a toilet roll put on the wrong way round just turns me into "one of those sort of people" :eek:

I touched a spider this morning :eek: He was HUGE! I didn't see him lurking in the sink and I went to put my mug in and felt this furry yolk touching my hand. I jumped about 5 feet and screamed so loud my dog came running in barking. Eugh. Wound up being late as I tried to navigate him into a glass to put him outside.

I know right, they just suck the fun out of everything.

TA'd right now that I've missed my mouth twice when drinking water, my shirt had just dried too after the first attempt.

All excited to hand in my notice in work but then my boss is out sick!

The increasing tolerance of bad grammar in society annoys me. Especially in song lyrics. For example, people saying "this is my sorry" instead of "this is my apology". Also, that stupid headwrecking song about being 30 years old, and he sings "soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty one" - what the fúck? He "got" 61? This makes no sense! Also a general acceptance of "sat" instead of sitting, even newspapers are allowing it in now. The world is clearly falling apart.

Every training course ive been on has had a scheduling problem where the tutor says something like : change of plans folks, instead of this being the course you read about and signed up for we've had to cut the length by two weeks, change the subject and ill be replaced by a novice, because reasons, see you now - ive wasted your time but there are no repurcussions because there just arent.

And now I see the brave Kanye has vowed to "track these guys down and deal with them"

I reckon he has watched too many Liam Neeson movies.

Another fcuken clown!

It isn't a recent phenomenon in song lyrics. Listen to Aretha Franklin belting out "Respect" - "R. E. S. P. E. C. T. - take out T.C.P."

Never judge the world by sing lyrics
