People supposedly drinking out of mugs and cups in TV dramas. It never looks real, I would love, just once, to see someone lift a cup to drink and there to be tea visible in it.
Since he wasn't allowed to move from his spot, he filled his prop cup of cold tea with something alcoholic. This allowed him to sip away while waiting for someone to finish sorting out sound or framing or whatever. In that particular 13th episode, there were several technical problems, which meant he drank and refilled his 'cuppa' rather heavily while waiting each time. I don't know how he managed to make himself sound sober, but he pulled it off. At the end of shooting, he literally staggered towards a waiting van for his trip back to hotel. He was so drunk that he claimed he for a moment couldn't remember where he was when he woke up next day. |

The term "white glove customer service". I heard it for the first time only a few moments ago in this rather modest video.

People stood at the bus stop who wait until they've boarded to fumble through their purse / wallet for the money / bus pass.
Seriously, you're waiting for a bus, why is it then a surprise that the driver needs some form of payment or identification? |

People catching a bus..They have stood queuing for the bus and leave it until the bus pulls in before scrambling around looking for their fare, usually at the bottom of their bag.

The expression "my bad". Huh? Does that mean "my fault" or "I'm bad"? Isn't it grammatically incorrect, because it doesn't make sense?

re: "My Bad" - I kinda like it. It being a short hand was of acknowledging a mistake on your part, that you've been a tad stupid, that you shoulda known better, and let's all be friends and move on, no need to dwell on it, bygones and all that... all wrapped up in 2 words.
You know how when you're wanting to cross the road and a car, though not having to, stops to let you pass, and all that's required is a smile, a nod or a single wave type gesture with a hand. That fits in the same category as the My Bad, with their simplicity of doing little but meaning much and helping us move on to the more important things in life. |

My annoyance is that software is too damned expensive.
On the plus side I've been offered an internship at a design company. ![]() The downside is although I can use their Macs (and software) I'd still like to have my own InDesign, Illustrator etc for my laptop but it's just way too much, I don't have that kinda money. I know how to use the programs but I'd like to be able to keep practicing/do it at my own leisure. Also I don't like this chilly weather as it irritates my sinuses and gives me a headache - similar to brain freeze D: |

I went to a memorial service today. I'm trying to recover from the shock of seeing a person reading/using their smartphone while someone's giving an eulogy. How crass.

When you see something on eBay, something very rare and impressively cheap, something akin to the missing piece in your 10+year old 1000+ jigsaw puzzle, something you just gotta GOTTA have. Then you forget all about it for a couple of days, only to remember about 2 hours after the damn auction has ended. So now you're looking at your frustratingly unsatisfyingly incomplete puzzle thinking to yourself "what's the point in keeping it if it ain't whole" (ish)
Also, when I'm typing on my new (2nd hand) laptop and the cursor suddenly moves for no reason whatsoever. It's as if I clicked a mouse button and the cursor goes to where the mouse icon thing is located. And if I don't spot it quickly enough I have to delete a bunch of text that's typed in the wrong fkn place. Serves me right for buying this cheapo crappy thing but methinks I can probably blame my parents for this one cos their combined DNA produced this fugly person who made sure to by a non-reflective laptop so to avoid staring at his mug whilst using it, thus saddling himself with a crappy bita kit. (Maybe I can sue them )[edit] just seen someone else is selling that missing piece on eBay. Double the price I coulda got it for but it's available nonetheless. ![]() Quote:

That's where your Watch List comes in handy!
I can sympathise. I have rhinitis and something called mid facial segment pain sydrome, both of which are aggravated by the cold. I walk around outside with my hat pulled over my forehead and my scarf pulled up over my nose and mouth, which gains me some funny looks. ![]() |

When I sound my horn for a perfectly valid reason, like if someone's reversing out of their drive, and they sound theirs back in a tit for tat way.
