Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 4)

[ClockworkCupcake]

Jesus, popeyewhite, you could pick an argument with yourself if nobody else bit. You're contrary on every single thread we both participate in. Do you get some kind of perverse pleasure from it?

My bin men.

Failed to empty landfill bin,only thing I can let them off is I had filled it with polystyrene packaging which doesn't move quickly .

Also failed to empty my food waste bin which consisted of some potato peelings wrapped in newspaper.

It's not hard.

After just going to the loo at work my daily rant is about toilet etiquette.

There were two issues today. Not really annoying but I don't understand why when there is row of empty urinals they then go and pee in a cubical. Are they shy?

Which leads me onto the next point of why some men can't aim. Lets be honest we have had years of practice holding it so why can't some men hit a target. There is nothing more annoying of going to the only empty cubical and there is liquid all over the toilet seat and floor. You then use a ton on tissue cleaning the seat and floor.

And if they must use one of the traps to go for a slash, why can't people have the courtesy to lift the seat?

But then you have to touch the seat, are you mad?

Could have been someone has had a dump and used a bogbrush to clean the bog so as not to leave it looking like Brands Hatch and dripped a bit of water on the seat.

On that topic - people at work who leave the loo looking like a Guatemalan mudslide or someone has pebble-dashed it. Why can't they use a bog brush?

out work toilets don't have a brush, I do feel guilty when I do it. Especially when I walk out and someone walks in ;-)

Seen a fox in the garden quite often, which I thought was quite nice. Except this morning I go outside to find the head and two legs of a rabbit strewn over the lawn. Going by the colour scheme and the fact I'm in an urban area I think some poor child is going to be wondering why Hoppy isn't in his hutch this morning........

Bloody insect bites

I got bitten 6 times in the garden on Tuesday evening, and now my ankle, foot and toes are all swollen. Walking with a limp because my ankles stiffened up and hardly slept last night because of a high temperature.

Don't know what the little blighters were, definitely not mosquitoes or midges more like a small black bug or fly about 3-4 mms long. But the bites are bloody itchy and my foot is throbbing!

Grrr! I've encountered those little b'stards too. Getting busy with the shears in the garden of an evening and they're everywhere. Seem too small to do any damage, but leave a bunch of bites all down your legs which aren't too bad on day one, but they swell and itch like crazy the following day. I didn't get such harsh symptoms as you, thankfully!

fkin' ouch!

If the high temp is from the bites, or rather if you don't already know what is causing it, it's time to go and see a medic… might be an infection getting going.

I bloody bitey flying things. Lost a whole night of sleep to just one mosquito in my room a couple of weeks back. Every time I turned the light out I could hear it…

The temperature has gone down this morning so I'm not too worried. I could feel the throbbing in my thigh last night so was a bit concerned but it's just around the ankle and foot today. I've just been to get some Anthisan which has reduced the itching a little bit.

I'm more bothered that I've got a football tournament to take my son to on Saturday morning, followed by a home match at Leicester City, followed by going out for my birthday at night. Currently I can't put a shoe on

The fact I can't find anything on why the M1 was shut between J40 and 41 northbound yesterday, during rush hour, really annoys me

I know there's a stton of works going on there too, but they'd surely not actually close it in rush hour for any of that…

[matchmaker]

People who use the present tense when talking about events that have occurred in the past. Yes, I mean you, Jeremy Vine. You cocksocket.

Nope, that was on Tuesday. Google Maps told me there had been an accident but I didn't read further into it.
