    Happens to me too, people passing me out who are way older and they're probably wondering why the hell this young thing is moving at such a slow lazy pace and I'm actually so out of breath I can't go any faster. Pain in the hole looking young and healthy sometimes.

    Yup. The out-of-breath feeling is actually frightening, isn’t it? And it’s also just a pain in the hole that I can’t walk faster. I used to have some trot on me. It’s hard for my hubs too. He’s both long-legged and a fast walker so to slow down to walk in tandem with me is difficult for him to do. When we were both in full health, I’d have to jog a bit to keep with him when he walked at his fastest (if we were in a rush or something). :pac:

    Some evil genius in my office left ginger cake cut into squares in the canteen and everyone thought they were brownies and that my friends is how you do April Fools.

    I’d prefer the ginger cake so that would be a pleasant surprise to me!

    Oh wait, that might have been your point.

    When your at a deli counter and you ask for a certain kind of ham or a certain roast chicken and they make you out to the most awkward customer in the World.

    Standing in long queues affects me that way, feel like I am going to pass out (and me looking the fool for not being able to simply stand as long as others who are older.)

    a young woman on a train yelling “Could you move?” at an frail old man who was shuffling slowly into his seat. She’d had to stop for, oh, five seconds or so. The humanity!

    When people can't understand you don't enjoy something that they enjoy.

    If you order poached or fried eggs at any cafe, they seem to be nearly raw. You have to ask for them well done, which is a bit ridiculous, as, while there's no need for them to be rock hard, very runny is potentially dodgy.


    For fried, the best is when the yolk has a "skin" on top but soft inside. Generally if I ask for that, the yolk ends up being hard.

    People asking you "are you alright?" When all you want is to be left alone for a while.

    My husband has this issue at work. The two people he shares an office with have dubious taste and are often shocked or apoplectic when he says he doesn’t like or hasn’t seen shït things they love.

    The best example: they both couldn’t believe he had never seen ‘White Chicks’ and has no interest in it seeing it. Like, completely shocked. He was thinking “Really?”.

    On the plus side my young daughter thought my ranting and raving and wheezing and harrumphing was hilarious.

    I was out walking at the weekend and a car passed me, windows rolled down and two full McDonald's bags thrown out. Burger wrappers, drinks cartons etc.

    Shaving cuts that in the shower look like massive bleeds but turn out to be tiny niggly cuts that my clothes or shoes rub off of when I go about my day. I always seem to cut the back of one or both of my ankles. Every damn time!

    I know we're all fed up of Brexit, but Jebus, does Theresa May go to bed in that feckin' blue coat? I know, I know, a very TA, but it's driving me mad.

    Chuck out the cheap razors and invest in a good one that will do the trick.

    I'm TA that I didn't think of any good April Fool pranks today.

    I find the rugby crowd the most insular when it comes to condemnation. I mean a person can say he doesn't follow soccer and it's respected. Same applies to GAA, horse-racing, American Football etc.

    But if a fella says he doesn't follow or like rugby, it's seen as plain unusual or even bigoted.

    Get over yerselves!

    People driving 15kmph on a 50kmph road. In rush hour traffic.
    It was nearly 3 hours ago but my blood pressure is still high from the stress of it.
