The people across the street who have festooned their house with Christmas lights. It wouldn't be so bad if my house wasn't on that side of our house.

It's the ones who hold their umbrellas in front of themselves, completely obscuring their view and then walk through the town moaning every time they bump into someone.

When people insist on showing you a video on their phone. Normally it's a 2 min comedy sketch you've never heard of and you're thinking in your head which pretend laugh you're going to use.

BIB. I've seen the later posts too and I might be able to help. I used to work in deep sea exports and the weight of the goods is usually described as e.g. 1000 kilos Gross, 20 kilos Tare, 80 kilos Net, where the Gross weight is how much it all weighes, Tare is the weight of the wrappings, and Net the weight of the product inside.

So in a bag of sweets say, the sweets would be the Net weight, the bag would be the Tare weight, and the bag + sweets the Gross weight.

The origin of Tare in phoenetic alphabets from what I have read indicates that it was first seen in print in 1913 in The Bluejackets Manual, which is the basic handbook for US Navy personnel, first issued in 1902.

That if I stay in bed too long I get up with a mild headache that lasts about 3 days.

I hate it. Sometimes on Saturday, I'd like a lie in for an extra hour or two but I have to force myself to get up.

You're prone to low blood pressure. I was like that and always had to get up and get the circulation going.

Buffet restaurants that have a chocolate fountain in their dessert section but use chocolate sauce in it instead of proper chocolate....I hate that.

Myself when I make a post like this one above that doesn't make any sense.

It should have read that they've got so many lights on their house that, despite the curtains being closed, can still be seen in my room (as my room is on the front of our house).

Mirror selfies. It looks so stupid when selfies are taken in the mirror and their phone covers up half their face.

I've been informed that "Netflix and chill" isn't just another crap piece of slang to rank alongside "bae" and "relationship goals" but a euphemism for sex...as if there weren't enough of those already.

When you go into a public toilet and you happen to pick the one thats ran out of toilet paper.

nnnnnngggngnggngng.....arrrggggghhhhh

when you go into a public toilet and all the other cubicles are empty and someone comes in and chooses to use the cubicle that is right beside yours...why do people do that? is a closed door among open ones a sodding magnet or something?

It's the same when you park in an empty car park and someone parks their enormous 4x4 next to you (and puts a dent in your door to boot).

Had one of the worst interview days ever today.

Was told it would be a one to one, but it wasn't as I was pitted against another candidate for the whole time (some hours). We had to do a few tasks together first and she was not very co-operative.

I did some tasks/tests which they didn't bother to mark/give results for. The other candidate ate into my interview time leaving me with only about 20mins of actual interview, and to show my work.

At one point we had to meet the boss, who is best described as an egotist and the other candidate kept being a suck up and flattering him. In the end I didn't say much I guess I was getting a bit put off, not once did the boss talk about the actual job role, it was just 'me me me' literally.

And the day was about 5hrs long.

Sorry to hear that bbclassics. I wouldn't want to work for a company that interviews this close to Christmas anyway.

Thanks, I was disappointed as no useful information came from those hours.
I had previously researched the company and rehearsed what I wanted to say and didn't get a chance to say most of it.
Not that fussed on working for the company anyway, a lot of the staff were quite rude and basically rushed the whole process cus they 'wanted to clock off already'.
I'll focus on my other interviews instead.

Another vote for poor English. That should obviously be "our splitting". The illiteracy nowadays is unbelievable. I have just read an eBook, whicht had clearly been "published" without ever passing through the hands of a copy editor. The author had written "copywrite" on the first page!

(For the benefit of the great unwashed, without access to a dictionary, the correct spelling is "copyright".)

Note: true dyslexics excepted. They have a good excuse - unlike the rest of you lazy lot.

People with no sense of humour.

Sleep. I'm *sure* I slept the past two nights for reasonable amounts of time, but I might as well have run a marathon for how tired I feel.

People who park cars in Bus Stops.

Absolutely this! I've had little sleep for a few nights for various reasons (sadly mad passionate sex isn't one of them) but last night managed the full eight hours and a bit extra.

Yet today I feel more exhausted than I did before! Why?

That's what it means? I've been refusing to say it because it sounds completely moronic but now I will definitely avoid it.

The fact that I keep on thinking today's Thursday, even though I know full well that it's Wednesday.


It is? *quickly Googles it* Well, I'll be buggered (metaphorically, not literally).

I might have used a similar phrase to 'Netflix and chill' with one of my female friends, I hope this has not confused her.


My current annoyance is people who think all benefit claimants are the 'scum of the earth'.

The remarkable (/so NOT remarkable) correlation between fussy eaters and those who claim they have allergies.

Of course some people do have food allergies, but I'm convinced most people are just fussy. It seems a coincidence that adults I know who claim to have allergies to certain foods are also tremendously fussy eaters, even with things they don't claim to be allergic too. Whereas those who don't have "allergies" tend to be far less fussy with everything else.

My cousin claims a dairy intolerance, likely based on having a headache soon after eating a bowl of cereals once. She also picks through every single piece of food put in front of her and has a list of foods she doesn't like so long that'd embarrass a defiant toddler who throws a tantrum unless every meal is pizza
