Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

The Flu is fucking horrific! Had it once several years ago and was unable to move for days. Started to hallucinate,ran a fever, the whole lot.

When I was finally able to drag myself to the GP she asked if I had any episodes of bursting in to tears while ill (which I had). Apparently the Flu can cause severe depression on a temporary basis.

Took me about a month to fully recover and must have lost about a stone in weight.

A load of my wife's dad's family added me on Facebook a while back after meeting them at her gran's birthday in Manchester. All aunties and cousins and the like. Every single one of them has since posted a succession of racist/sectarian/bigoted shite on Facebook and shared stuff from Britain First and the like. I get that Greater Manchester (they're all from Rochdale, Middleton, Oldham etc) is fucking grim, but you don't have to also reflect that grimness in your personality.

Also, as an aside, but also annoying; they all look like they're from Greater Manchester. Wee baw faces, bulldog expressions, stout, squat, balding and ugly. The women and men look exactly alike. Exactly how I imagine Grim O'Grady off here to look.

I've had it just the once. I was due in on a night shift, went to work with a vague feeling of not being quite right at 7pm. By 9.30, I needed to get home as I couldn't walk the length of myself. Despite having been asleep for the full day, I climbed into bed and was out like a light and couldn't move for several days after. I have never felt so bad in all my life and it took several weeks to feel normal again. 'Flu doesn't f**k about.

My missus has just joined Facebook. She has no idea how it works, what it does, how things magically appear on her timeline or who she is friending. Im also getting an hourly update on "items" which she thinks are interesting.

Its like having the Top Five Annoying Things on Facebook live in my living room every evening.

Ive asked her if she's witnessed any Britain First, Muslims Out posts for people she knows and she was completely taken aback that this could happen (despite her timeline being full of dildo factory pictures from some random family member of hers). I said I'll give it a week.

You should chalk some thieving gypsy signs outside the house to freak her out when she gets a be ware o gramme.

They'll maybe claim to be City or United fans, but which of Scotland's gruesome twosome is their "big" team?

I haven't worked there long enough to get sick pay, but that's irrelevant.

Yeah this. I always seem to think they're trying to rumble me in case I pulled a sicky.

My work phones your house every day until your signed off.

Folk who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're"... :ph34r:

And FWIW, anyone who says they have "the flu" and are walking about, haven't got flu. If you can walk more than 10 feet you've not got flu. If you've got flu, you'll KNOW you have flu.

Flu.

If you do ever find yourself in trouble at work , wanking in the bogs or turning up on ching, go off with stress and then keep a record of them doing that. Constructive dismissal nae bother.

*Bookmarked for later shenanigans*

Flu.

Yep. I'd agree with that. Had proper flu once and was off work for nearly a fortnight. Absolutely floored me, could hardly lift my head off the pillow and had to crawl to the toilet. Tried to walk at one point and passed out and face planted the hall carpet.

People who wait on traffics lights to go red even tho there isn't a car in 100 yards.

People who take 5 minutes at a bank machine.

Driving home from work last week there was a cycler actually cycling along the Kingsway. Ah that makes me rage. Fools

Flu.

"There" and "their" also get mixed up quite often.

Indeed, although I believe the term is 'co-habiting partner'.

Stick with that. Don't think I've ever heard of anyone being convicted for cohabiting partner beating or murdering a cohabiting partner.

Am sure I've whined about this before but people who print off a slip to check their balance, glance at it for less than a second then scrunch it up and put it in the bin.

Wtf is the point in that? Just bring up the balance on screen. Save a tree.
