Facial scarring with a sword is too good for them He was lucky you didn't release some bears at the wedding, merely not attending was a generous gesture

Oh my guilt is quite naked, i have no shame

Yeah yeah, I'm yet to see it... yet to see you be embarrassing.

I think I'm the expert. You better not disappoint me over Christmas

Is that a trivial thing that annoys you intensely?

*sings*
I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes,
Christmas is all around me

Haha, naaaaah.

One thing I will say about Wet Wet Wet. They picked a brilliant name for their band. Describes them perfectly

A bit niche this but the people who do what appears to be the non-job of handing out the Evening Standard at Liverpool St station.

It's a free newspaper but there seems to be a military operation involving a small army of people who when they're not pounding the paper somewhat aggressively into your outstretched hand look like they're involved in something gravely serious and important.... what happened to just putting the papers in the stands and letting people help themselves ??

Odd.

People who run up crowded escalators!

The fact that I failed to see the message from DS saying that it would be down for quite a while. When I tried to post something I had that awful message telling me that I'd done something wrong! I wracked my brain trying to think what I had posted to be banned!! 😱

Thinking of a great joke but not being able to tell anyone because it's so horrible.

When my favourite work time distraction is down for 72 hours, I actually had to do my job! It was terribly dull

That sounds inhumane

There's one that winds me up, particularly around this time of year:

People who take pride in telling people how drunk they got and how they can't remember what they did/how they got home last night etc...

Sorry, no. I know too many people who have either died prematurely or have had their lives ruined by alcohol consumption, or have put themselves in potentially dangerous situations as a result of having consumed too much alcohol.

Somebody who drinks excessively is not a 'character' or anything of the sort. He/she is a danger to him/her self and to society.

If you haven't seen the other side of alcohol consumption and the sheer misery it brings, you can consider yourself very fortunate.

Pretentious perfumes adverts - what a load of old town most of them are - celebrities doing 'deep and meaningful' monologues! It's a perfume/ cologne people - it makes you smell nice, it won't change your life!!!

That is the most sensible post that I have read on DS for a very long time.

Bravo! realwales.

Also people who refer to their prescription( medicine) as their "script". Just no!

I agree with you that these arbitrary shortenings of words is maddening. That said, I sometimes have to say script, because I have difficulty articulating the word 'prescription' at times. I don't have a speech defect, but I do have trouble with certain words.

Shops that can't grasp that if a certain thing is popular, you order more of that thing, erm, because it's POPULAR you muppets.

Prime example, men's shoes, size 9 is, and always has been, the most popular size for the average man, so why don't they order 33% more size 9s than say, size 7 or 11 ?

But no, "do you have them in a 9 ? " I ask, expecting the answer no, " sorry, we've sold out, we've got plenty in the size 11 ".

See ?

Since the Schengen Agreement was signed, shops been unable to forecast accurate demands for Size 9s.
Large parts, and numbers, of our Demography are simply unknown.

The situation will be resolved when Brexit is completed.

How much of a faff trying to put a hearing aid in is.

One fairly trivial thing that annoys me happens in bed at night............oo er !

It's when you lie sideways and put your head on the pillow so your cheek is on the pillow

then I find that my nose is a few millimetres away from the pillow but close enough to feel it's brushing against it

and it's really annoying cos it feels like an insect walking on your nose or a stray hair itching it

grrrrrr.................

I had an Australian colleague who used to shorten "documents" or "documentation" to "docos" whether this was spoken or written. For some reason, I used to hate this.

Australians are known for this , you gift these lazy colonial ingrates a perfectly good language and then they proceed to ruin it with slang and crass patois.

Lads on a drunken night out wearing Christmas jumpers

I have no idea why but it irritates the life out of me!

I hope you're not trying to get out of wearing the beautiful one with the naked elves on I've just spent 3 months knitting for you?

Yeah, and the way they always call out "Free Standard... Free Standard!" as if no one knows what it is

Blimey!! Where did you pop out from?

Well all Christmas jumpers apart from that one
