My works sick policy that doesnt take important things into account.

Basically today im not well but i have to go in. I woke up feeling under the weather, full blown cold and zero energy. Every muscle aches and i have no appetite what so ever.

A cold isnt a reason to miss work, but if i worked in an office i wouldnt complain. I could sit at my computer and work, drink plenty of water and graze at something light.

But since i will be rushed off my feet doing physical work, with almost no chance of keeping up my fluid intake, and having to force myself to eat during my short break i just feel ten times worse! Not to mention my imunity being lowered due to how i feel so i will no doubt feel worse at the end of it!

foreign phone callers..they phoned before but i didn't answer the phone then..Once i answered it , a foreign woman on phone asked for me, and i said she wasn't in , and i just put the phone down..but they keep on phoning , annoying

'You love' instead of 'you like' in some adverts, e.g. the TV programmes 'you love'.

Referring to pets/animals in adverts as he or she. What difference does it make, when you are selling pet food for example.

'Intimate area' when selling female products. It's called a vagina. What next, 'man area'.

etc.

It's the usual bollok spiel that advertisers dream up, most likely when they are on something.

People who walk on the wrong side of a staircase or the wrong side of a corridor.
You walk on the LEFT hand side, NOT the RIGHT hand side !!

When I am in a hurry, why do I always get stuck behind the slowest walkers in the world ??

Then there's the group of idiots who take up the whole width of the corridor but somehow expect everyone else to get out the way - how? Walk all the way back to the start? Climb up the wall to let them pass?

I usually put the phone down straight away if I don't hear a voice instantly.

Because we think of our pets as 'he' or 'she'. Must admit I had a devil of a time with my sea monkeys.

I didnt know that

When you cook / bake something that you've made several times before with perfect results and it suddenly decides to turn into crap

That little kick the contestants and crew do at the end of Bargain Hunt. I loathe the programme anyway, but I always seem to catch that bit and I want to rip their nasty red and blue shapeless ugly fleeces off and strangle them all.

One of the managers at work likes to use the phrase "with a view to" as often as possible. It didn't bother me too much at first but it drives me nuts now!

It bugs me when you spend money on some lovely flowers for someone and they just plonk them all into a vase full to the brim with water without stripping off all the lower leaves first, cutting the ends to vary the heights or putting the food gel in !

And they probably don't cut the bottom of the stems at an angle either, which makes the flowers last longer.

Those inspirational quotes ya see, some of them I just don't agree with. Like 'life's what you make it' - well if you're a victim of circumstance it's not is it. Like someone could be trying hard to find work and other people get the job. Money matters are often beyond control too. A bit like saying if ya wish hard enough you could become a millionaire.

Or things like 'a best friend is a friend for life' well myself and others I know have had their best friends become rather horrible over time and decided to cease contact. Those quotes kinda irritate me because they fill your head with nonsense and make people want to achieve an idealised goal which sometimes is hard or not possible.

Buying a few cases of wine in Lidl (try it, some if it is v good) and having the youth on the till smirk and try to make conversation out of it...

Having a party? me: No.

Aah - stocking up then...? Me: umm, no, not specifically.

How long will this last then? Couple of weeks? <smirk> Me (in thought-only mode): maybe the weekend if I really go for it big time but really it's none of your business. Do you ask these questions of people buying sanitary products?

The usual disinterested 'hi', met with the equally disinterested 'oh hi' followed by a well mannered sale, payment and completion of the transaction, will do fine. Judging my drinking habits won't, thanks v much.

When you ask for a Coke/Sprite/Fanta etc. at a bar or pub and they give you that horrible machine/soda stream version of the stuff. Never tastes as good.

That staff member needs a retrain. They shouldn't initiate conversations like that.

When I forget to by my Euro Millions lottery ticket....... again.

Do it online...

^that's what I was going to do, but I kept on thinking "got ages so I'll do it tomorrow", then it got too darn late, darn it. Hopefully it'll be roll-over time.

I didn't mind it when M&S used to ask me if I wanted a 5p bag. It was easy. I could answer in one word. ”Yes".

But now they seem to have changed their policy.

Now I have to say 5 words. I have to say "I'd like a 5p bag" before they try and cram a weekly shop into a small (free) bag that will barely cater for a sandwich.

Having worked in one of the major supermarkets, I can pretty much guarantee that is sort of what they are trained to do - make conversation when scanning their stuff through the till - not doing so would fail a mystery shop - but sometimes it's hard!

Me. Especially when I wake up.

Oh and You.

Even more so when you wake up.

I don't look that bad when I wake up

My gripe is people who message you but the conversation goes nowhere. For e.g.
Person 1: Hi
Person 2:hello
Person 1:How are you?
Person 2: Ok thanks, you?
Person 1: Alright

I'd like to think at least when I message people I have something (of interest) to say.
If I don't have anything, I won't message them - logic.

People who think that their opinions are FACTS.

(Yes, I'm talking about you!)
