There is nothing in the house for dinner! Gimmie a roast dinner somebody.

I would love a few drinks tonight but I imbibed Fri and Sat so probably shouldn't.

Someone I know who drinks too much uses this phrase making the phrase annoy me more. Beyond Trivial perhaps.

Conor Bourke

Annoyed that the butcher didn't cut the piece of meat the way I asked him to, and then annoyed at myself that I didn't just cut it myself, that's what you get for laziness I guess.

Rubberlegs

Jars of things like jalepeno peppers that have to be used within a week of opening. I'm the only one that eats them and much as I love them I'm not going to eat a whole jar in a week.
Not realising that the last episode of Gotham that I watched was the series finale:(
Pulling up to a petrol pump today and find that I have left my purse at home.
My life is a series of unfortunate events

You can drain the jalapeno peppers and stick them in the freezer.

My TA is that itchy spot on your back that you can't reach on your own, and there's nobody around to scratch it for you, so you end up doing a Baloo against the door jamb.

Epic! Can't stop laughing at that one. The amount of times I look like a bear trying to swallow the door jamb up me arse isn't funny.

TA for the day - Tom Jones' Jacket on the voice.

Thanks, I didn't know that !!
You need to invest in a bear claw back scratcher, best few euro I ever spent:)

Always have a spare ruler close by for this exact reason!

People who say 'ta' instead of 'thanks'. Are you such an enebriated sh1t stain on life that you can't eek out the other few letters out of you.

My oldest dog is the good dog. All day long he's been out of sorts. I don't know what's wrong. He ate all his food and played ball but there was something off.
I've recently discovered he sleeps by the door waiting for me to come back, which is TA enough when I think of him on a cold bare floor.
But he never barks unless someone's outside (big heavy woofs) or if he's cold or wet (frantic woofs).

Just settling into bed into a nice sleep when I hear yelping woofs. These went on for a minute or two until I hopped outta bed and flew down the stairs. He's laying by the door and he starts yelling as soon as he heard me. I turned on the light and he nearly ate me alive with neediness, jumping up at me, licking me, sitting at my feet trying to get as close as he could.

He never does that, I don't know why he was crying. Me and him are going sleeping in the spare room but i don't know if he's sick or if he's playing me. Why Can't dogs talk

The Nordie accent. Communiddy, sitcyachun.

When you let somebody pull out onto the main road in front of you, and then they are the last car through the changing lights.

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!

Worse is when, after you let them out, they drive at a snails pace up to the lights before accelerating thru them just as the lights turn red.

It's like they are trolling you. :mad:

Boom_Bap

I was in a taxi the other night and the driver would put the foot on the accelerator and get the revs up. Then foot off, and clutch down until the reves came back down and the car slowed down, shift gear and repeat.
It was a mad way to drive. As the gears got higher, the car started chugging along.
He also used the steering wheel the way BA in the A-Team did, he didn't hold it straight and was always moving it.

MuffinTop86

TA that The Voice UK was on while I was having my dinner last night and I didn't turn it off, meaning the 20 mins I watched is the longest I've seen of it.
Will.i.am is the most boring pretentious fool who takes ages to string a sentence together. Even if some of what he was saying was good, I just couldn't look at him anymore.
Earphones around his head and phone in hand, ugh

Aglomerado

Soccer talk (or any talk about sport that isn't hurling). BORING

When you're trying to think of the name of something for ages and you can't. What's the name of the underground "newspapers"/pamphlets that the Bolsheviks used to send to each other before the 1917 revolution? It definitely began with 'S' (I'm all googled out!).

Someone keeps taking my pens in work. I brought two pens with me to work for my own personal use, and in the span of a year both of vanished without a trace. I then decided to use the pens at work but every time I keep getting one out of the supply closet it goes missing. Was using a pen today and left my desk for a few minutes and when I returned it was gone. I know it's not a prank or a joke because these people aren't the sort to do that type of thing. The pens just have a way of disappearing.

Father Hernandez

Not sure this comes under here but I have to vent.

The fact that I have a f***ing Christmas song in my head all day in work.

Jona Lewie - I wish I was at home for Christmas....

G'WAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Same thing happens to me every time I stand up from my desk. It annoys da fuq out of me, but I can only assume people think that pens are everywhere in the department and I'll have no problem getting another one, whereas they need a pen NOW to write something down and my pen/desk was closest (a lot of people pass by my desk on a daily basis), and sure now they have it they might as well take it with them in case they need one again....meanwhile I'm left scrabbling around in the back of a drawer for a half-chewed pen to take a message on the phone or something. I should keep a box of pens hidden somewhere, but they'd find them. They'd find them. And once they know they're there, my desk would become the go-to place to get a pen. Meaning no pens for me.

I've thought about this a lot, can you tell?

Nope, not that. It was a single name beginning with S for all these types of underground pro-communist pamphlets in the years running up to the Russian Revolution.
