Being hungover and queuing anywhere. In your head shouting "what the fcuk is taking you so long, feels like I've been queuing for 1/2 an hour"

Taxi drivers! Went out for a run yesterday evening, got back in and up to the bathroom and was stepping into the shower when I see through the bathroom window a taxi bus driving at high speed into my driveway blowing the horn and flashing the lights. Goodness, I thought, what's the emergency and had to dress again and go down the stairs and out to the driver who still sat in his bus with the engine running saying to me 'taxi to the church?'. Irritated, I said no I didn't order any taxi and he called out my address and I said yes that is my address and no I didn't order a taxi. He then gets on the radio and calls dispatch, turns out he got the house number wrong. Don't know which I am more TA'd with, having to get dressed again to go downstairs to see what the fuss was about, or the brash way he drove into my driveway blowing horns and flashing lights. Whatever happened to just politely driving in, getting out of the bloody taxi and ringing the doorbell?
And anyway, the house where the taxi was supposed to be going is only a stone's throw to the church - why order a flaming taxi, you can walk there in five minutes!
Also, last Saturday morning, don't have to go to work so catching up on some sleep, am awoken by the doorbell going wild! Go down, geyser outside, asking me if I am Christina. No, there's nobody by that name here, what's this about? He says I am painting in her house today, but no worries I have her mobile number here and I'll give her a ring to see what number she lives in. EHHH??? So you just pony up into the estate, take a random guess as to what house a Christina might live in, awaken the occupant, then it turns out you have her number anyway and just couldn't be arsed to ring her and find out where she lived?
Folks, they walk among us..... and they're taking over...

TA'd at having a Betty Swollix today. Uncomfortable.

Was he Icelandic?

TA'd that I don't know what I want to eat :rolleyes:

E-Bay and Pay-Pal not having the same E/£ conversion rate when you buy something, wouldn't let me pay in £ on a credit card only in my currency even though I ticked the other payment option, it flashed up payment not accepted, grrrr.

Needy FB friends who have blogs or online shops, and then post stuff like 'boo hoo, none of my friends have bought anything from my shop / shared any of my posts recently' - wtf?

Auctioneers, all of them - consistently!

On that note - in a good 90% (conservative estimate) of the houses/flats for sale or to let, the photos of the bathroom/toilet show the toilets with the seat up. Do only men live there, or are the estate agents 'marking their territory' when they visit to take the photos?? :eek:
It's a major TA of mine, and also it looks bad on the pictures.

I might possibly have Haemochromatosis. Lovely. One more thing to add to the ****ing laundry list of things wrong with me. :mad:

buying anything in a hardware shop... you stand in the queue for half an hour while the guy on the til has to look up 3 databases and wait for the printer to print off a handful of A3 sized receipts so that the customer can buy a box of nails.

And its the same in any auto parts shop.

TA'd at people who try on clothes and put them back in a different spot or with different hanger so it has a different size to the clothes on the hanger. Thank God for online shopping.

People who talk very loudly in an open plan office about how great they are and how they work harder than everybody else... Listening to one now and I just want to throw something at them!

That's not a trivial annoyance, it's a huge, deep and painful feeling of emptiness that lingers in your soul for what seems like an eternity. I'm sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you at this time of agony.

I am the one who knocks.

Going for drinks with a couple, and having to buy 2 out of every 3 rounds. Because my mates missus refuses to go the bar. Point blank just will not go. I rarely get caught out, but last night I did. It won't happen again.
I've seen this before, man always going to the bar. It's not like she had no money or anything, she just will not go.

I'd say that's sore.

You're worse to go, if she won't go then let him get her round in. Sounds like she needs a good kick in the gee tbh, what a cúnting clitbag! Probably spoilt since a kid, "Daddy's little Princess", twat!

TA'd at The French, a worse shower than the Black 'n' Tans :mad:

There was a girl I knew, who would badmouth so many other girls that she just didn't know.. commenting how what they're wearing looks awful, or whatever else. I never understood it, because I probably wouldn't have even noticed.

TA for today - the device I've been doing a lot of work on has stopped working. Trying to recover the data now, which is taking longer because it appears to be slowed to balls, but I have a feeling that what I've been working on is gone -- hours of work down the drain. Thankfully it seems like the original files can be restored.

I have to wear a baggy shirt cos for some reason my left boob is much bigger than my right and it looks weird in a t-shirt.
