It really gets on my TAts when people refer to TV programmes by abbreviated titles..
When some calls 'Strictly Come Dancing' just 'Strictly' it's like fingernails down the chalkboard for me..
My favourite soap is 'Coronation Street' and not 'Corrie'.

You mean SCD?

People who put their bus fare in one coin at a time, instead of having it pre-counted so they can just lash it into the coin receiver.

Asked my only computer owning sis if I could borrow her's, I'm in a computer crisis atm,
She responds with a babble about a typewriter, so I cant be sure if it's her passive-aggressive way of saying no or a sign that her dementia is getting worse earlier in the day.

TA, She appears to be getting worse and I still don't have a computer to finish a vital submission for work.
TA2, Too many things being too complicated and taking too much time today, additionally my fingers don't work for small jobs like splitting pages apart or opening doggie poo bags.

Why do people open underwear boxes in shops?
There's always an image on the box to tell you the fit and style, what can you possibly be looking at "oh I normally wear CK's but I'm just checking to make sure these AussieBum boxers don't have a willy hole on the side".

Always seems to be my size that gets opened too.

I presume this happens in Womenswear too.

I must be spending too much time with my "daughters", I was looking for a specific thread on the home page, looked at the print at the top and misread topics for repeal!

I think I need to go see o/h in London for some brain retraining away from it all.

PS the girls on different sides of the issues, so its a 24/7(proportionately) thing here.

Two queues open in Tesco and about 4-5 in each queue. I was at the back of mine.

I heard a staff member shout over at one of the lads to open till 9 and sure enough I see him go over. Quick as a flash I am at till 9 and I've gone from last to first :cool: I call this being observant and on the ball

My TA is a lady in another queue said she was queing longer than me and I skipped her. I didn't say anything, went backpacking

My fellow TA'ers, did I break some etiquette? I think I skipped nobody and she was daydreaming, snooze you lose

Maybe she will be along here shortly to TA about me!!

I was eating a breakfast toastie in O'Briens earlier and got a real chawy , gristly bit of fat in my mouth that I had to chew, chew , swallow really quickly before I started to feel pukey as I had no napkin.

You were first in the new queue. She chose to abandon her place in the old queue.

I hate being photographed. Was at a family do yesterday and had my snap taken many times. Some people can switch on a natural looking smile at will, not me, as soon as I see a phone or camera my face automatically goes into smile/grimace/panic mode. I always end up looking like Jack Nicholson's Joker with a bad case of constipation.

And soooo many more photos are taken these days. It’s really annoying actually. One or two is all that is needed to commemorate any occasion. I hate having to go through the selfie process with friends:

- take selfie
- check selfie. Oh no, double chin
- take another selfie
- check selfie. Oh no, I blinked!
- take selfie

And so on. And nobody ever really looks good in selfies due to the angle.

This last few days I can't stop eating junk. My brain says 'don't eat that, you've had enough, but my grasping hand says 'screw you pal, I'm running this show'

I’ve always admired people who can open a packet and just take one or two things. If I know the packet is open, it’s like it calls out to me

My mother can do that. When Time Out bars used to come in two fingers, she’d eat one finger and be able to save the other one for the next day’s elevenses. SKILLZ.

I am in serious awe of that. I didn’t think that was possible :eek:

Which reminds me, I miss old Time Outs. The new ones just aren’t right

There's some sort of durty joke there somewhere about 2 fingers uhuhuhuhhu

My granny would buy a Fry's chocolate cream when she did her shopping on a Saturday and make it last until the following Friday. Different generation i suppose and things like that were scarce so they learned to enjoy and appreciate them.

TA'd that my son can't stand still for a second but a relative is shoving chocolate into his gob. I then get the usual "oh for god sake don't be so mean/ what harm is it doing him?"
My response - "Its ok, I'll nurse him when he's a diabetic!"
Only joking, I expect the state to look after him.

(Ah no in all seriousness children and adults have no appreciation of a treat anymore. When i was young we got something nice on a Friday but now its to hand all the time)

We only got a small bar at the weekends. Desserts after dinner only happened a handful of times a year. Fizzy drinks were restricted to birthdays and Christmas (those big bottles of Country Spring). I’m 34.

I didn't think it was actually legal to only eat one finger out of a 2 finger bar. I thought the Chocolate Police would come in and arrest me.

Jesus, I love chocolate.

I seemed to forget that they existed. What's wrong with the new ones?

No matter what you say, someone has to question it or judge it. It's very irritating.

I'm so hungry but I'm afraid to eat in case I'm sick.

Signed off work for 2 days and the thoughts of going back to my classroom on Friday. It will be turned upside down with other people looking for things.

This explains it. They are now called time out wafer. The chocolate to wafer ratio is just all wrong.

RobbingBandit

They is so tiny it's not even funny it's like a pot belly pig, just inconceivable that a bar called timeout can now be eaten in seconds.

I used to get one at lunch time once a week in secondary school. The new thing is a disgrace.

RobbingBandit

Same with most bars now the size or ingredients are nasty compared to 80s/90s chocolates. Same with everything really size goes down price goes up.

When both Joy-Cons are running low on battery, and the Switch has to be played handheld, without a pre-charged Joy-Con charging grip at disposal or letting the battery deplete. It's worse when both the Switch and the Joy-Cons are running out of battery. That's not to say I dislike handheld mode, I just prefer playing it docked.

Wishing I was raised with a chocolate bar a week! I was given money to go to the shop and get sweets every day (50p usually which got you a decent haul in the early-mid nineties) and there was always chocolate and crisps in the cupboard at home. My parents worked full time so I went to my nana' s after school and she had a chocolate bar waiting for me, that was on top of the one I had for my lunch in school. If I was upset my mum gave me sweets or she'd give me sweets to do something I didn't like, such as piano lessons. I ate a lot of ready meals and rubbish as a child because my mum was working and was too tired to always cook properly. It wasn't until I met my wife that I realised that you could make your own tomato sauce and didn't have to use dolmio. Now my mum works part time and spends the whole day making food in the slow cooker and I can't help but feel a bit resentful that I've struggled with my weight as an adult trying to undo all of these bad eating habits.
