All I want to do is lay in bed and watch Love actually whilst eating chocolate cake. Great plan except I can't find the film anywhere! Even signed up to amazon prime thanks to google's lies (it's not on there) it's not on Netflix either. I can find good copies elsewhere but they don't have the subtitles needed to enjoy the film at certain parts. I don't want to pay £5 for it but it could be my last resort.

It was also on in last few weeks and I recorded and watched it for the first time.
Surprised it was a hit in America. Lots of swearing in parts. |

shower heads which are fixed to the wall
![]() How on earth do people rinse themselves properly or clean the shower without a handheld one ? My offering - the dividers inside my dishwasher are out of kilter so when you're putting the plates in some of the plates end up touching and therefore don't clean properly.

The Daily Mail and their photo or visual "Can you spot....?" puzzles which they like to pretend are tricky or difficult, or that only a few people will solve, but are usually ridiculously easy or obvious.

People who have to open their gobs and chip in to a discussion just for the sake of saying something, no matter how banal. I've a colleague who does this constantly and it drives me up the wall. Even if I direct a question to another person, addressing that person by name, this annoying, wittering gobs***e will jump in to answer it. I found her in the staff room talking to the trainee teachers before the end of term and dispensing advice on how to teach...she's not even a trained teacher, and has only been a teaching assistant for a year, a job her boss has complained to several people she does badly. When she'd finished pontificating about how to be the best teacher in the world, she actually said to them, "If you take one piece of advice away from this place, let it be that!" I was desperate to chime in and say "Actually, let the one piece of advice you take away be to never listen to this clown here!"
She constantly makes stuff up as well...saying her boyfriend had paid £650 for tickets to an outdoor theatre show that cost everyone else who went about £20 was unbelievable. Oh, and she's always banging on about how much she's done at the gym and all the healthy meals she cooks, then wonders why she can't shift the spare four stone around her belly and backside...nothing to do with the two bottles of full-fat Coke she drinks every lunch time and the lashings of mayonnaise she smothers every meal in. Or the two teacakes with butter and biscuits at break time. Eat what you like, hen, just stop cracking on about your so-called diet while I'm trying to ignore you. |

She also told me that she was on a "double-dose" of amytriptiline for stomach pain; when I was prescribed that for whiplash, I couldn't go into work as it made me so drowsy I couldn't drive.

She reminds me of that character in 'Shirley Valentine' - "If you've been to Paradise, she's got a season ticket. If you've got a headache, she's got a brain tumour." |

People who dot their Facebook posts (or anything else for that matter) with #feelingblessed
I also resent being told to 'Live, Laugh, and Love'. Just let me be a misanthropic, scowly bitch in peace, will you? I'm not harming anyone. |

- Millennials crying themselves to sleep in twitter posts because some celebrity died that was middle aged and decades out of the game before they were even born and who they'd probably never heard of before it started trending on their feeds
- Millennials calling something classic because they’re too young to remember how naff everyone actually thought it was at the time and think it’s just good because it’s old - Millennials grasping on to any culture they can get because they’ve made no cool culture of their own - Millennials.... (in hindsight I think I probably could have just left it at that) |

While I'm on a rant, she also dropped a spoiler for 'The Force Awakens'. I yelled at her for that and have no regrets about doing so, as people like that are absolute morons. She's also stolen several people's break time snacks.
She reminds me of that character in 'Shirley Valentine' - "If you've been to Paradise, she's got a season ticket. If you've got a headache, she's got a brain tumour." Whenever something didn't go her way or she was told she'd done something wrong we had a lecture on how she was on Prozac and we shouldn't be like that with her. This was also the person who found God just as it was time to select a secondary school for her son, and the Catholic school was the best in the area. We didn't name her Katherine of Arrogant for nothing. |

I loved all the hatred for Thatcher from people not born until the mid 90's. It was so funny when they were clearly following a cause they'd been told to follow. I bet most of them couldn't name her in a line up of pictures... They'd probably pick Meryl Streep!
Twitter is like a cesspit of overwrought emotion. I blame the character limit... everyone thinking they have to try and sum up and be inspirational, makes them write everything like it's some iconic speech. |

Everything has happened to her and ten times worse than it has to anyone else. A couple of colleagues have died over the years and she has gone from not knowing they existed to being their best friends when they passed away telling everyone about her and how much she knew and liked them. She constantly lies about things and gets caught out. She books herself into work events last minute pretending she only just saw the email or invite and asks people to cover her deposit until she can give them it the next day usually after the cut off and then pulls out and refuses to give the money to the person her subbed her. She picks different people each time who don't appear to know this is her thing and that's how she's managed it so many times. She's the opposite with the the food though. Claimed to have never heard of subway or McDonald's and had never ate pizza before or tried Coke or any fizzy drink amongst other things which imo are pretty basic foods most people would have tried once whilst drunk or as a kid at a party or something even if it's not part of their normal diet. She looks down her nose at anyone who has had one of those things. Constantly dishes out parenting advice to everyone regardless of their age compared to hers or the ages of their children and number of their children. Tells people in work she is their mother or grandmother depending on their age despite her not being old enough to be either, who even needs another mother or grandmother anyway. She starts rumours about people and then denies she has heard anything about it when confronted. There are so many annoying things she does. |

Urgh, I hate this. I usually counter this crap with 'Just been to Mass but didn't take communion. Feeling blessed instead.' I know. I'm a dreadful person.

I work with a lady like this but different profession and she really peeves everyone off in work. She actually tries to tell doctors and nurses what's wrong with their relatives or themselves and tries to give medical advice when she's barely even a health care assistant.

She starts rumours about people and then denies she has heard anything about it when confronted. There are so many annoying things she does. The main reason I can't stand her is because of her behaviour on her transition day. She contradicted me in front of the children, refused to believe anything I said about them or their needs, and then I overheard her laughing about me with the department brown-noser when they didn't realise I was there. If you're that willing to kiss a*** to ingratiate yourself with your new coworkers that you'll belittle someone who's been trying to help you, who you barely even know, then you're not worth talking to. She also once told me to eat/drink lots of calcium because my nails were quite brittle and flaky. Nails are made of keratin, which is a protein. Nothing to do with calcium. Can't stand the woman. |
