Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

So i had a family member in hospital recently and during that time as a surprise i decorated their kitchen and bathroom single handedly over 3 days, it was a b*****d to get it done but i was able to. I ran out of tape during so a double of edges were free hand and while they were happy with it, me being a perfectionist decided to go back tonight to clean up the edges in question with a new roll of tape. I got really talked down to like a piece of shit, basically along the lines of "how can ye no do it without the tape!?!" "If i could i wouldn't be here fixing it" "if your hands could go as fast as your mouth you would be done already" Well i just dropped what i was doing and walked out, absolutely reuse to get talked to like that when i'm working my arse off for free as a gift to them. I had even agreed to get the living room done this week and now i've refused unless i'm given a apology, which i might add i know i wont get cause this particular person is more stubborn than i am. 

Am i being too harsh?

If you want to burn the house down, P&B knows a man that can help. Sounds like they're thoughtless, selfish, ungrateful c***s though. No point wasting your time with folk like that.

Totally vindicated IMO.

A kick in the pie, would have been acceptable end to this.

I normally carry my wallet in my front left trouser pocket and my loose change in the back left. However the new trousers I bought don't have a back left pocket so the change has to go in beside the wallet. And every time I take my wallet out (which is several times a day; I don't come from Aberdeen) some coins get caught in the fold and fall on the floor.  :guns

My bluetooth headphones quitting 15 minutes into a hour session in the gym today perturbed me somewhat :angry: 

The little minx in the tight leggings giving it what for on the x-trainer in front of me went someway to redeeming the situation ;)

Sorry mate, we're going to need more information on this story I'm afraid.

A common PTTGOMN is when barmen are called baristas, it's both pretentious and incorrect (see panini/panino debate). I've just about come to terms with such wankery though.
That was until yesterday when I noticed that at the package drop-off/pick-up point at my local supermarket a notice says to ask a "parcelista" for more information.
