One of my managers gave me a Christmas gift yesterday - a M&S gift box of a 1/4 bottle of port, Blue Stilton and vintage Cheddar. It had a use by date of 27/12/2015 on it.
Her: He must have had that sitting about his house for a while! Look at the use by date.
Me: It has cheese in it...
Things that annoy me thread!! Use by dates like that on cheese!! Both those cheeses are probably 2 years old before they go in that pack!!Her: He must have had that sitting about his house for a while! Look at the use by date.

“My car wouldn’t start this morning, but then I revved it and it was OK after that”
I’ve given up trying to get reasoned analysis from her about what is wrong with a car because as soon as I ask for more details she either repeats the same thing or gets pissed off and shouts at me.
I must be lucky, my wife normally gives me her thoughts as what it could be. ie last winter she said it was turning over slow and the lights were dimming and the batterys dropped a cell, go get me a new battery I’ve given up trying to get reasoned analysis from her about what is wrong with a car because as soon as I ask for more details she either repeats the same thing or gets pissed off and shouts at me.
Still mulling over this one from Mrs Fox
Cyclist in front, out a bit from the kerb to miss the pot holes and drains
'Isnt he stupid, all in black and no lights showing'
This was 11.20 this morning bright sunshine
I had the brain in gear and mouth ready to go ,but better judgement took over and i just kept quiet

As a 'vulnerable road user' myself at times, I would do everything possible to make myself visible, including wearing HiViz, fluorescent clothing, lights, etc. And bright sunshine is often worse for visibility in rural areas as it's harder to see cyclists, walkers etc in the shade when you've been sun dazzled.Cyclist in front, out a bit from the kerb to miss the pot holes and drains

Quite. Also DRLs are becoming mandatory for cars, no real reason why bikes should not be considered as well.Vaud said:

You'd think so wouldn't you? She used to say some odd things. For example I noticed, if she was telling me about something that had happened to her, that nobody ever just laughed or cried. They had to either "burst into fits of laughter," or "burst into floods of tears."
She did come out with loads of strange stuff, but I've forgotten most of it now. Probably because I've been trying to.

Was busy yesterday doing officey stuff, so asked the current Mrs Straight Dad to make a doctors appointment for me. Now she has very little time for officious doctors receptionists and takes offence when they want to know in detail what your reason is for the appointment. I guess the question must have been asked as I heard her say "his dick tastes funny"

I'm confused. Was this a case of your Mrs being really dopey and naive? Or really smart and getting one over on the receptionist?sbird said:
