childrens joggies that have fake drawstrings that you don't notice when buying

Is it wrong of me that I felt vaguely pleased with myself for having no idea to what this post referred until I googled it?
After googling it, I think that it merits a mention in the 'council' thread.

It is if you are doing the cool PH thing of pretending not to know what somthing/someone is.

Whats wrong with children wearing jogging bottoms?

I don't know, is it wrong of you to be supercilious and judgemental?

When I was a child I lay in bed one night listening to the faintest of scratching noises above and dismissed it as the wind outside. After ten minutes the 'wind' stopped and the large house spider that had been scrabbling on the ceiling above my bed lost traction and plummeted towards me, landing on my face. To say I was traumatised would be an understatement. I try not to think about it after all these years as it still makes me shudder.

Cleaners who seem to regard it as a challenge to cram as much toilet paper as possible into the dispenser, so you end pulling a load of shreds out of the dispenser before getting any full size sheets.

Mrs. 1879 and I were once tucked up in bed when there was an audible thud and a monstrous arachnid started legging it up the duvet towards us. It had jumped off the top of the wardrobe. Still plagues my dreams to this day.

It's that time of year when the buggers start coming inside too. Only last night I had the pleasant task of moving a pile of laundry one piece at a time to find the beast that the missus had seen lurking in there. I didn't know whether to kill it or buy a saddle and ride it to work.

Glad I'm not the only one!

I don't have a problem with spiders when I see them first... but being viciously attacked from behind while sleeping is well out of order!

Reminds me of a 'spider incident' when I was a kid. My brother ran downstairs crying to mum one night. He claimed he'd been "bitten" by a small, brightly coloured spider that had got into his bed. And to be fair, there was a bite mark from something on his upper arm. Anyway. Mum calmed him down, and "put some cream on it" for him, and back he came to bed. But while he was downstairs I'd found my big rubber spider, the kind that hangs from a piece of elastic so that it's long black legs kinda wobble in the air. Then I put it under his duvet and waited for his return.



Boy, was I deep in the st when mum came up the stairs to see what all the screaming was about.

Hi. My name is yellowjack, and I'm a sociopath. What do I win?

Just think yourself lucky it was only a spider....

Mobile phone vibration alerts in an office environment, when the phone is placed on a desk. The desk amplifies the vibration and manages to penetrate my noise-cancelling headphones far more than a sound would.

Also, if someone is getting a lot of notifications then it's almost constant and very annoying.

Xmas instead of Christmas.

I always write xmas, just in the hope that someone will pull me up about it, and I can point out that it's a very old way of writing it, from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, Christ

i'm an insufferable pedant, clearly
