    I cracked two perfect eggs but then whipped them into a frenzy. Of course when you want a fried guggy egg is when you’ll break it.

    TA at ignorant door slamming housemates who put the washing machine on at 8.40 on a Saturday morning. And then slam doors.

    On the bus connect Ireland double-decker behind me, the chungwan prattling non stop with the worst dose of chronic verbal diahreea I've had to listen to in a long long time.

    The older I get the more sh*te people seem to talk.

    My TA is that I'm smuttered with a cold. It hit just as I left work yesterday.
    Goodbye weekend:(

    Kids in shopping centres. As I hissed at one "It's not a playground!" My 70 year old aunt was knocked over recently by a child in a shopping centre. The child in question was about 10 (I was with her) so old enough to know better. Mother didn't give a s**t. I'm sick to the back teeth of parents who don't control their kids in places like this and if you say anything about their little angel then, you're the worst in the world.

    Another road related TA: when you are merging onto a motorway from a junction and a driver in the left lane doesn't move into the fast-lane to make room for you to seemlessly enter, particularly when the fast lane is clear.

    Some asshole done this to me earlier. Grrrrr

    People who think the right lane on a motorway is a fast lane. It’s not. Yes, I’m talking to you dickhead bmw drivers. Flashing your lights won’t make me move over either.

    Just curious.....what's your interpretation of the 'right' lane?

    Just remembered seeing kids in Douglas village centre going up the wrong escalator for a laugh, only for a woman to follow them and nearly fall as a result. The parents didn't seem to notice.

    Why does boards sometimes unfollow you from threads? I know I'm subscribed to this thread because I've posted in it. I didn't even notice I wasn't following it anymore until I looked in AH and I saw it and realised it hadn't appeared in my followed threads in about four days. Does anyone else ever get that glitch?

    Yes, has happened me in other threads too.

    I remember someone telling me once that they could never remember my name as I am very "unremarkable". How rude!!

    TA , it started off looking like it was going to be nice and I got sadly excited at the thoughts of putting washing out. Now it looks like rain:(

    something tells me you're in the wrong lane, for example while you're focusing on the bmw, the cars behind the bmw are also wondering wtf you're at, eventually they will begin undertaking you and the bmw who nicely tried to ask you to move aside is stuck behind you. One day you will cause a pileup and children will die, which will give you a hard on.

    You know when you email someone to ask them a time-sensitive question, you give them ample time (like, a week) to reply, they don't, you send them a reminder, they still don't reply, and a day later they write to you asking you a question of their own (for which they already have the answer because you're told them at least three times before - verbally, by text, and by email), but still providing no answer to your own? Well, that's a TA, and a massive one at that.

    They still haven't answered. They phoned me asking me had I got their email. I told them I did. They asked me their question again. I replied. I asked them did they get my emails. They said they did. "And? "Oh, I haven't replied to you yet." (in a matter-of-fact tone of voice). Then they proceeded to change the subject and they hung up. I still don't have my answer.

    Slapping them them across the head with a shed door would be a legitimate response, wouldn't it?

    The right lane is meant to be used for drivers who wish to pass slower moving traffic in the left lane. .

    I had to start writing down things just to get them out of my head - just notes on how to word a business-related email. Not something that should be done at half three in the morning... :( Didn't work too well, mind you.

    Made the mistake of going away this weekend past with the in-laws. We couldn't figure out why the hotel was so jam packed of kids. Finally realised that it's the end of mid-term.

    That's fine, we thought, we'll go for dinner and by the time we're finished all the kids will have gone to bed. WRONG! The amount of unsupervised children running around the bar and hallways of the hotel at 11pm on Saturday was an absolute disgrace. I saw a toddler running around in his pyjamas and nappy ffs. No parent's within sight. Absolutely impossible to relax.

    EBS now need a 3 step authentication . No problem , except we have to download an app on our smart phone . No problem except we don’t have an up to date one with IOS 11
    We ring IT and they can do nothing at all to help us with that dilemma
    There are lots of people our age with no smart phones at all who now cannot access their accounts online

    Commented on my need to cut my toenails( the context of that not as exciting as it may sound to some)
    Told me that my interpretation of a situation they knew nothing may have been 'misinterpreting the body language involved'

    Mary Wilson on DriveTime- will you ever stop interrupting people! She really annoys me when she asks a guest a question and then just butts in halfway through the answer "Come on now, briefly now". I understand she has a timepoint to stick to but shes so rude in doing so.
