People stood at the bus stop who wait until they've boarded to fumble through their purse / wallet for the money / bus pass.
Seriously, you're waiting for a bus, why is it then a surprise that the driver needs some form of payment or identification?
Ooooh yes... A few months back, I was on the bus going from North Manchester General Hospital into the city center. Woman got on with me (been waiting about ten minutes) and could she find her pass? Driver let her on under condition that she showed it asap. It took her 20 minutes of rummaging through her handbag to realize it was in her coat pocket. It was pissing me off watching her as she was being so dramatic
People catching a bus..They have stood queuing for the bus and leave it until the bus pulls in before scrambling around looking for their fare, usually at the bottom of their bag.
re: "My Bad" - I kinda like it. It being a short hand was of acknowledging a mistake on your part, that you've been a tad stupid, that you shoulda known better, and let's all be friends and move on, no need to dwell on it, bygones and all that... all wrapped up in 2 words.
You know how when you're wanting to cross the road and a car, though not having to, stops to let you pass, and all that's required is a smile, a nod or a single wave type gesture with a hand. That fits in the same category as the My Bad, with their simplicity of doing little but meaning much and helping us move on to the more important things in life.
My annoyance is that software is too damned expensive.
On the plus side I've been offered an internship at a design company.
The downside is although I can use their Macs (and software) I'd still like to have my own InDesign, Illustrator etc for my laptop but it's just way too much, I don't have that kinda money.
I know how to use the programs but I'd like to be able to keep practicing/do it at my own leisure.
Also I don't like this chilly weather as it irritates my sinuses and gives me a headache - similar to brain freeze

It's been used since the 70s in America by sports people. Buffy the Vampire Slayer made it popular in the 90s and it's grown since then.
People supposedly drinking out of mugs and cups in TV dramas. It never looks real, I would love, just once, to see someone lift a cup to drink and there to be tea visible in it.
You should check out the DVD out takes for Extras. They did so many takes of a particular scene that Stephen Merchant resorted to spitting the tea back into the mug as he couldn't drink any more!
I went to a memorial service today. I'm trying to recover from the shock of seeing a person reading/using their smartphone while someone's giving an eulogy. How crass.
When you see something on eBay, something very rare and impressively cheap, something akin to the missing piece in your 10+year old 1000+ jigsaw puzzle, something you just gotta GOTTA have. Then you forget all about it for a couple of days, only to remember about 2 hours after the damn auction has ended. So now you're looking at your frustratingly unsatisfyingly incomplete puzzle thinking to yourself "what's the point in keeping it if it ain't whole" (ish)
Also, when I'm typing on my new (2nd hand) laptop and the cursor suddenly moves for no reason whatsoever. It's as if I clicked a mouse button and the cursor goes to where the mouse icon thing is located. And if I don't spot it quickly enough I have to delete a bunch of text that's typed in the wrong fkn place. Serves me right for buying this cheapo crappy thing but methinks I can probably blame my parents for this one cos their combined DNA produced this fugly person who made sure to by a non-reflective laptop so to avoid staring at his mug whilst using it, thus saddling himself with a crappy bita kit. (Maybe I can sue them )
[edit] just seen someone else is selling that missing piece on eBay. Double the price I coulda got it for but it's available nonetheless.

I can sympathise. I have rhinitis and something called mid facial segment pain sydrome, both of which are aggravated by the cold. I walk around outside with my hat pulled over my forehead and my scarf pulled up over my nose and mouth, which gains me some funny looks.

Next comes the new 3D versions no doubt, with techni-colour, surround sound and smellie-vision...for that realistic effect of the food you are cooking.
if you're not one for checking your email often then this doesn't always stop you missing out
Sometime you do get lucky and the seller relists the item you missed.

That's where your Watch List comes in handy!

Perhaps you should wear a burka!
That could work!
*Adds burkas to ebay watch list*
I have never sounded my horn. I find people who do so very odd as bad as shouting at someone who made a mistake. ( I dont mean you BTW)
Maybe its a "thank you" type of beep?

Are you my neighbour?
*Swipes Christmas edition.* pfft
