I've been on a few web meetings over the past few weeks. My own web cam is disabled.

TA'd that I don't see any off script things happening in the background on peoples webcams.

No messy houses - they are all perfect.

No kids running in background.

No wife/mistress in a dressing gown making coffee.

I was on one last week and I got three hours of looking up someone's nostril - angle the camera properly people! They looked like they were going to ingest the laptop :eek:

I hate that. Packs/nets of onions and carrots / parsnips.
But if you only want 1or 2 the only loose ones, if at all, are whithered runts of things

Don't feel bad about it. Most of those suffering from toxic positivity are probably deeply unhappy somewhere in their subconscious. They're trying too hard to prove their happiness. Better to be a cynic, less potential for disappointment.

Buy golden rum.
Espresso, butter and rum (bit of sugar, too)!
Amazing.

In a busy take away last night some woman on the phone couldn't seem to grasp why her order was going to take so long. She does know other people exist, right?

My car's wing mirrors retract when I lock it,it makes it handy to know it's locked just by looking.
But I had to change that as the mirrors were constantly moving out a focus.
Now I'm clicking my key constantly to check it's locked

You can't use the words plan, schedule, scheme, programme anymore, everything is a "roadmap" now.

Or a narrative or a conversation

Maybe no so ta but...I often see this being said and it shouldve been dispelled by now.

Telling a small woman that if she keeps standing up to a large man he will "soon back off" is bollocks.

Let me see youstand up to someone you're unevenly matched with. How about two or three armed men?

Just stand up to them, mate. Put them in their place with a few carefully chosen words, a little witty put down, and they'll drop the weapons and go running. Reformed characters forever after.

When girls stick the tip of their tongue out between their teeth when they smile for photos....why?!?! Can you not smile with your tongue fully in your gob like a proper human?

Video calls /facetime.

Yes, I understand there are situations where it is useful and great when families are apart.

But generally, use the fcuking voice call feature.

This morning, was having a bit of a lie in with the Mrs. Sitting up in bed chatting. Lovely.
Male pal of my wife's rings up for a chat - except it's video chat! Fcuk of, please. I don't want people watching me in bed, thank you very much!

Also, now under so much pressure to get involved in meet ups on zoom. I'm fcuking allergic. Yes I miss my friends. No, I don't want to go on camera as part of a group chat.
I have to do it on occasion for work.
Not for pleasure, thanks.

I had a male colleague who used to do that all the time, even when talking.

It's only cute if you're under 5.

Trigger Happy

When half your icecream falls off the stick and on the ground.
It was a brunch too.

You're not having a good day Trigger!

My TA. There's about 12 settings on my tumble dryer. Sometimes I don't realise it's already on the right setting and I press the button and then I have to keep pressing and go through every setting to get back to where I started.

Now that really is trivial but it does irritate me.

When people say "put some time in the diary". For example, "we need to discuss project X, can we put some time in the diary next week?". No Dorris, you can't put some time in the diary because you don't get to create time. You can schedule a meeting for some of the time that already exists within the diary, but you cannot simply "put some" there. God :rolleyes:

I had a ( badly needed) shave yesterday. Today the tiny bits I missed have grown , above and below the lips. (I'm a man so geet you heads outta the gutters) which means an unnecessary shave , imo, tomorrow.
Just annoying
