Perhaps we should just accept that everything causes a horrible, horrible death and just enjoy the time we have remaining. Perfect health is just the slowest rate of death
Well, life is a terminal sexually-transmitted disease. 
That's the most depressing statement ever

I am one of those people and very happy about it. I have read so much about what's actually in tap water that I really don't ever want to drink tap water, whether from home or work. I therefore by bottles upon bottles of the stuff and consume around 1.5 to 2 litres a day.
I feel tired and get headaches when I don't drink enough
Read where, on a "natural health" website?I feel tired and get headaches when I don't drink enough
When you send an ebay item internationally to the US using a combined service, where one courier does the UK bit and delivers to the international courier's depot... ( pretty much the same way ebay's own GSP service works )
You explain to your customer that the tracking number input on ebay covers only the UK portion of the journey, and you provide the separate tracking number for the international part...
The customer totally ignores what you've told them, sees it as having been delivered using only the UK tracking part, starts calling you a f
king scammer and raises a dispute case on ebay demanding a refund...
The customer, even after having the split tracking explained to him ( again ) is still refusing to back down, claiming the tracking says it has been delivered to him - it doesn't, it says 'delivered to Landmark Global depot'...
The customer then sends a message all in CAPS (
) saying his purchase screen showed it delivered to him, and he doesn't know what 'this other thing' is, and complained that he should have been informed in advance about this - even though I did tell him when I posted it...

Of course. The rest of us are ded of tap water. Bodies line the streets. Councils can't cope with the amount of corpses and disease is spreading. It's like a third world country after an earthquake out there, don't open your curtains for God's sake. Armageddon approaches because of "what's in tap water".
The tap water round my way tastes disgusting, so that's why I buy spring water. For tea, coffee, squash, etc., I'm perfectly happy to use tap water though. But yes, tap water dodgers can also go on the list of beyond reason annoyance.

When you get gravy or a sauce on your Cutlery Knife or Fork "handle",then have to clean your fingers up with a napkin and said handle.
What is wrong with you!?!?! That's what a tongue is for, or in your case you could always get the dog to do it for you!!! I have no time for pseudo-posh "rules" at table. If'n you get butter, jam, sauce, gravy, etc on the handle of your cutlery, just get the feckin' thing licked, for Heaven's sake! Or learn to use it properly, so that you don't get sauce on it in the first place?
Same thing with utter weirdos who get twisted out of shape when someone licks the blade of a knife. It's cutlery, ffs? The fork and the spoon both go in your mouth, both get washed, then both get put back in the drawer and are soon being used by someone else, and we're all OK with that. But somehow "eugh, that's disgusting - you put the knife in your mouth..." ???
Well I'm as tight as a duck's arse, so I'll not be wasting that jam/peanut butter/whatever by washing it down the plughole. The damned knife isn't even sharp, ffs. I'm at greater risk of injury from the tines of my fork. Oh, for a return to simpler times. Tudor table manners, and your own personal knife and spoon, taken with you wherever you go.
Ah! The "olden days". When men were men, and vegetarians were simply referred to as "the poor"...

t was when the missus served me up beans on toast with the cutlery on the plate to find the knife handle smeared with bean juice
Ah, now that's a different matter, Mrs fatboy needs educating as to what is or isn't acceptable, the best way to do this would be to tyrow the cutlery on the floor and just chow down with fingers as cutlery, when she asks just WFT you're doing merely point to the bean soaked cutlery!!!!! 
As an aside, Mrs Bobbers doesn't like her beans on her toast when we have beans on toast, but then she is from Gosport!!!
Badgers. The country roads are littered with corpses. Is it rutting season or something? Mr Brock just doesn't seem to understand that 2 tons of steel is going to sting a bit. Why can't he just use a w*nk sock?
A lump of squishy flesh is OK, but I don't like splintered bones in my tyres.

No, you are not. Last night I made an Eton Mess for pudding, and even licked my wife's bowl clean. (F'naar, f'naar) But I didn't want to be the first to admit it in a public forum...
Popular with the ladies.

Currently annoying me beyond reason is Shreddies.
Specifically their "Proud to be Vegan" slogan on the box.
Well "duuuuur". With ingredients like "wheat", "barley malt", "molasses" and "salt" it's no surprise, really...
100% Beef Shreddies. Specifically their "Proud to be Vegan" slogan on the box.

Now those I would definitely buy!
Vegans are OK, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Proud to be vegan right up to the point you pour milk over them. Or are they suggesting eating them dry?Specifically their "Proud to be Vegan" slogan on the box.

You'd be surprised how often animal products are used in supposedly vegan things. Gelatin, for example. Specifically their "Proud to be Vegan" slogan on the box.
