Even if that were true it would be rendered useless the moment one person set of for a journey with the sign up and no child in the car.

The fact that huge numbers of people do so makes a joke of the idea.

Exactly!

eBay woes.

Did a last minute bid on 4 items (model kits), won 2, lost 2.
Received 2nd chance options on those lost 2 cos the winner withdrew.
Am sat here wondering if this oik also bid on the 2 which I won, causing me to pay much more than I needed to. :bugger:

Numerous threads on here over the years lead to the same conclusion that the emergency services don't base their searches on the presence or otherwise of a twee announcement in the back window, regardless of whether it reads princess, child, or small boy with fair hair blood group rhesus -ve on board. They're a vanity and nothing more.

Following my rant about duvet and pj days, I see O2s latest advert is not only condoning pj days but also hanging a child upside down by its foot.

1) Putting comments and points of view on to all sorts of DS Forums and having nobody reply or comment back. Tumbleweed scenario. Hate that!
2) people who say "prostrate" when they mean "prostate"
3) People saying "that was quick" when I give them a flu injection at work. How long do they expect it will take? All day?
4) Not being able to open Cadburys chocolate bar wrappers. You now have to grab two ends near the arrow and peel apart. Sooo annoying.

Ketchup sachets, I was in mcdonalds a few days ago and couldn't open the ketchup at all, they were all greasy from being behind the till so were slippery and impossible to open, asked for some more, they wouldn't open either so I gave up and had to eat my chips naked.

I hope that you didn't drop a hot one in your lap.

All technology companies tend to have annoying ads. Google, Microsoft, many others....... I think Apple have to be the worst though.

I think you're on the money.

I've felt for a while that this is a common occurrence on Ebay.

Hand carwashes; when the operatives spray the liquid wax all over my windscreen!

I've never worked in a carwash in my life, but even I know that it's not wise to spray wax onto the windscreen as it will call smearing & noisy wiper blades.

When you're peeling potatoes over the bin and you're just on the last slither of peel left on the spud and the bloody thing slips out of your hand into the bin. It never lands on top either so you can reach it and rinse it off. Oh no! It has to fall all the way to the bottom if the bin.

I've been asked to get a place in voluntary work within a week, which is ridiculous as its not enough time. I've exhausted all my options and the companies just say things like 'we'll get back to you' but you never know if they definitely will.
Hoping I won't get sanctioned for this as really its beyond my control.

Also I dislike youtube comments as everytime I scroll down they're full of sexist,racist rubbish. The sort of people who can watch a video about cute hamsters and then go to the comment section to talk about incest. Creepy weirdos, most are trolling but still nobody wants to read that.

Also people who use the terms lefty loonies,do gooders,bleeding hearts etc. Like name calling is gonna help further your political viewpoint.

I peel them over a piece of old newspaper on the counter and then pour the peelings into the bin, maybe try that.

When I cut my nails over the sink or bin. One, perhaps 2 clippings (if I'm lucky) will fall down the plug-hole or into the bin-bag. The rest will be scattered across my flat like shrapnel.

Couriers drivers who don't leave your parcels as you "didn't leave a note on your door" when you clearly left 2, count them 2, notes on your door and it is obvious that the rivergjjgfjgrjgjkgfjf fjsdksdjklsdffsd - trying to enter a "thing that bugs me" post when my computer is doing something god-knows-what in the background causing a delay of about 45mins (ish) between me typing and the words appearing, makes this fkn irritating darn it. Oh wait, it was my fault cos OPERA ALWAYS fks things up for a short while when it has just finished downloaded something. Everything's cool now...

Anyway. A certain courier company was to deliver something. I leave a SIGNED note on my door saying "leave it there if I ain't in". Today I get an email "we came yesterday but couldn't leave it cos there was no signed note". The 2 notes on my door remain in the SAME position, untouched and unmoved. Obviously the driver rang the intercom, got no reply, and fked off rather than taking the lift upto my floor and DOING HIS DAMN JOB.
Now I find they don't have any drivers today so I must wait till tomorrow and hope I don't get the oik who failed the first time who got eaten out by his Bosses (that's means chastised, right ?!) and who has taken out his frustration on my poor parcel.

I don't mind when a cat does a mad dash around the house for no reason whatsoever.

I do mind when all three cats do it.

I use Dropbox. Just download pics/files from your PC to Dropbox and right click on it for the URL which you can paste on here.
