    Finished work a half day as I'm on two weeks annual leave and I get home to see the missus walking around with a measuring tape. So much for a relaxing time off

    Do deliveroo cyclists know what a bicycle light is ? Or reflective clothing ? I've seen several recently in the dark and they are not visible.

    When you get a charger for a laptop, and the little velcro strap that's supposed to keep it tidy isn't long enough to around the whole thing - it just goes around the wires but not around the chunky block part. Is an extra inch or two of velcro too much to ask for on a laptop costing hundreds?

    That’s more than trivially annoying to me . The idea of parent and baby parking is that, like disabled parking, not only are they closer to the shop but they’re wider to allow for opening doors etc . As a man who both brought my children shopping and am now disabled , i’d fcuk him out of it .😡

    When you go for a quiet pint at a quieter time of the day, with the sole intention of switching off from everything, and the ambience is ruined by two fellas with the loudest, gutteral laughs imaginable. It'd be tolerable if they only cackled occasionally, but it was literally after every sentence. They must be hilarious story tellers.

    My ears are still ringing.

    An acquaintance who never txt me back tonight, when I realised why … I was doing two things .ie cooking when replying to a couple of their messages, not focused and only half reading… they tried to communicate something of a semi serious nature, which I replied with a laughing emoji, misinterpreting it that they were taking the piss… so I’m probably in the doghouse and they undoubtedly think I’ve joined the population of the people’s republic of weirdsville, which let’s face it, I’ve visited. 🤓

    Just pray it’s not Ikea stuff. I actually worked for a while putting them together in America. They are really simple when you do a few . For novices and , yes , women they’re infuriating . If it’s a assemble at home kit, book yourself a weekend away in a hotel !!

    Oi! I'll let you know I (and most women) can assemble even Kinder Egg surprises without looking at the instructions! But I guess you don't come across many of them in the States, do you? (the Kinder eggs, not the 'wimminz'!)

    My TA is nursing homes with incompetent, negligent or careless staff, that cause harm to the patients through their incompetence, negligence or carelessness. "What can you do, these people have to work, too, you know." Would you apply the same principle if "these people" happened to be electricians, gas technicians, mechanics or even civil engineers carrying out work on your house or car?

    I have a fitness monitor watch like lots of people, and yesterday, after a busy day in work, I saw that was 250 steps from my daily target by the time I got home at 5pm. After chilling out, watching a few programmes (and dozing off to sleep a few times), I eventually woke up at 11.30pm, 16 steps from my target so I decided to go to bed.

    My very trivial annoyance is that...next thing I know, it's 12.20am and I haven't moved, so missed my target for the first time in over 140 days, by 16 steps. As I said, very trivial and it means nothing but it is still annoying me...

    When communication is free, simple and instant, and when someone says they can come see about a job "around 9" but don't turn up or even send a simple message saying they can't turn up.

    Bus into work this morning.

    Got about halfway up the stairs before I was hit with the worst smell imaginable. I thought to myself, FFS! I'll just have to open a window for a bit.

    I took a seat but soon realised that the smell was not clearing. I can't describe how bad the smell was, it was somewhere along the lines of a combination of actual sh1t and spoilt milk.

    It was completely unbearable, so I decided to grab a seat downstairs lucky enough there was a spare seat.

    I thought to myself great, I can relax now. Unfortunately then my nostrils detected another ungodly smell, one of unwashed sweaty balls, it was then I noticed the unkempt man sitting to my right.

    The man seemed to be having a conversation with someone who wasn't there, he just kept repeating over and over again:

    "They wouldn't have any drugs there John..."

    He continued this for the duration of my 45 minute commute.

    A small trivial annoyance but I'm getting a pain pinch point in one of my elbows, like a burning sensation or like a burst blister, it seems where I'm wearing my hoodie or my puffa jacket, I'm also getting it from the bed sheets sometimes. I looked it up and the condition is called 'Allodynia' its a bizarre condition. ' A rare type of nerve pain that is triggered by something that wouldn't normally cause pain, such as your bedsheets, seam of a sock, or the warmth coming off freshly made toast' I mean WTF!!! life is complicated enough as it is.

    Is there an option to add manual steps? I have the Pacer app on my phone but if I leave home without it, I’ll just add an estimated number when I get home. It can be done for previous days too.

    Shoe shops.

    What's the point? For nearly as long as I can remember, even going back to my childhood in the 80s/90s, every trip to the store room results in "sorry, don't have those in your size"

    Who are these shops serving?

    Thank you!!! I've been getting that for as long as I can remember on the outside of my left arm, about 5 fingers down from the crook of my elbow, every time I brush my hair on the left side and pull one or two hairs. It's like a hot needle with electricity running through it.

    Youtube videos made by people that don't have a clue!

    I've a whetstone grinder that I'm trying to get the best out of. It's OK for but I'd hoped it would give me a better edge than I can get by hand. So I'm watching youtube videos so see if I'm missing anything.

    Doh, most of the videos are made by people that don't have a clue and no way would doing what they say give you the results they achieve. The last four I looked at have setup instructions that are incorrect. Its even pointed out in the replies so its not just me that say they've got it wrong.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I can't add the steps manually and I won't bother with trying to change the time and date, so I'll just have to take the lesson of just doing what you mean to do and stop procrastinating (and falling asleep)! I could have just walked to the gate and back, and I would have reached my target.

    Now my trivial annoyance is that I've to watch the programmes I recorded but didn't watch last night due to tiredness...so this evening is my televisual Friday, such is my social life. (Have I Got News For You is coming up next! 😄 )

    The ‘new’ Beatles song…. Someone really should have had the common sense to admit.. “ look, as Beatles singles go, their songs go and their legacy is…not only should this not be a single, it shouldn’t be on an album aside from an extra curio buried on a future compilation maybe….

    its pretty turgid, dull, uninteresting and bland….. and a couple of fellas in their mid 80’s swaying and gurning, basically grandad dancing and attempting to look all hip, vibing and earnest and failing in a very thrown together amateur and ridiculous looking video…. Lads, come on….just leave it be….

    the song itself is nowhere good enough…..a bullshît concept really…… watching the video and listening as a guy who is a Beatles fan…. “ ahhh fellas, come on “… 🙇🏻‍♂️. Cringey.

    They probably have an excuse these days, oh I have this "condition" that entails I agree to something and then don't bother my arse turning up or don't bother letting the other person know that I'm not bothered. And I'm entitled to use a disabled parking space too because of chronic couldntbearseditis.
