Padded envelopes on their own do NOT make good delivery systems for comics - use some cardboard next time dammit.

Pick up all the washing from the bedroom floor....check you havent dropped the odd sock on the stairs

Set the washing machine off.....go back up stairs to find a pair of HIS underpants behind the bathroom door

Because of the 5p bag charge they have had to take away the bags from the self service isle of tesco. I assume people were just taking them, so now they have someone holding the bags and you have to call them over and ask for one. It's very annoying and multiple times I haven't been able to find someone or have had eyes rolled and been tutted at because I had interrupted a conversation that they were having with a colleague (Which is another gripe altogether) ... Bloody ridiculous.

I don't know what it is, but it irritates me intensely if I find a dirty sock on the stairs after I've filled the washer. My son brings his washing down once a week, and there's usually three or four loads-worth to do. I guarantee I'll find an odd sock somewhere between his room and the kitchen - even if I go on a scouting mission before I finish his washing. Argh! (I'm getting the feeling he's winding me up and planting one on the stairs haha!)

I find it a pain when a load of washing is actually two so have to be done on seperate days so it all dries. You can guarentee the pairs of socks magically get seperated!

Is not like that at my tescos, tons of bags- but it is in the co-op.
As the goods pile up the cashier says "oh-do you want a bag?"
What do you think? I'm not putting everything in my pockets, am I?

When I'm lying next to my wife and she wiggles her toe so it lightly tickles my leg. It actually sends me into a frenzy, and not in the good way.

When you say you think something is rubbish and someone tries to justify it by saying "but that's very in at the moment", so I've got to like everything because it's 'in'?

I'm aware I'm gonna sound really young ranting about this.
I recently graduated and left my student house. I really like this guy and we've met up and basically we like each other. Now as I'm finding it impossible to get a full time job- so barely any money and that dream of me having a flat is far away atm. So I'm stuck in the family house where there is no privacy. If we become romantically involved well it's awkward - I thought he (26yrs old) had a flat but he (long story) had to move and is not living on his own anymore. So yeah now thinking this possible romance is doomed.

Ugh and now I sound like a 15yr old.

iiuc being miffed that there's no easy place in which to have sex is more a 12yr old + older thing. [not sure what smilies to put in here]

btw: I thought that's what movie theatres were for

btw: you ARE older than 15, right, and not a really intelligent child prodigy.

Vehicles that stop at the side of the road just to talk to somebody on the footpath which in turn causes it to be in the way. If you're picking somebody up or dropping them off then fair enough but just to talk is taking the piss.
Another is two cars stopping, one going up the road and the other going down, and talking to each other. Stop blocking the road. You can talk in your own time.

I don't drive but when in a taxi and they have to suddenly stop cause of these idiots it can be an annoyance especially if the road is narrow enough as it is due to cars being parked outside the owners homes already. Thankfully I'm gaining my confidence again to walk but the only way I would talk to somebody in a vehicle is when the driver asks for directions which takes 45 seconds. Not chat casually.

Getting excited at the addition of tru tv and cbs reality on freeview, only to find out its literally four shows on repeats. Fear factor, car show, something else and another show on a loop all day!

I really hope they are testing the water and will add more shows eventually. One of the channels is just judge judy for about 5 hours straight then a block showing of another show for several hours.

When my best friend messages me when I'm about to go to bed. That means we'll have a conversation which obviously I don't mind as she's my best friend, but the timings annoying.

What's also annoying is that facebook messenger keeps closing half way though me typing a message

I'm not 15 I'm early 20s. I've savings but they're not enough for a flat. This economy
It would help if potential employers would actually treat me like a person, Graduates to them seem to be poison. They don't want to know you unless you've had at least 2 or 5 years in a Professional agency and have had design work published. How am I supposed to gain Experience if they won't give me an opportunity?

I hear you. Can you not go the blog route, and maybe generate some support through that? I mean, just create a blog, post your designs, promote your page etc etc etc, approach magazines for free 'freelance' work and get a leg up that way?

Sorry, I'm a novice at that sort of thing, and I know it's not the quick route, but it might help? Edit: once you've got an online presence, and have had some stuff published (even though they didn't pay), it might enhance your reputation and portfolio at the application/interview stage.

How things were last week:

If the Royal Mail postman couldn't deliver something because it was too large and/or required a signature, he would leave a "Something for you" card and I would pick it up a few days later from the Delivery Office which is about 10mins walk away. Simples. Been like that for years-n-years.

How things are now:

Same as above except since they are closing this handy delivery office I now have to go 4.6 miles (googlemaps is my friend) to a different one, which apparently takes 1hr 31mins to walk. Yippee. :cock:

Can't you just turn off your phone an hour before bedtime? I never answer my phone after 9pm because I can't cope with long conversations late in the evening!

My alarm is on my phone, I do need to get a separate one at some point as it doesn't always work but for now I'm stuck.

To be honest it doesn't happen often, I was just really tired last night. Plus she's going though a tough time at the moment so I want to be there for her.

Bought myself a new alarm clock. Runs off batteries, lights up when touched, in fact, all singing all dancing with a SNOOOOOOZE button - every EIGHT minutes! Why the f*ck eight minutes! Why not five, FFS? My eight times table has improved, tho.!
