Aye that's exactly it, attention seeking. Nothing more, nothing less.

Same goes for that elf on the shelf  bollocks. It has nothing to do with kids supposedly being all excited to get out of bed every morning to see what mischief has been made, and everything to do with needy maw's craving Facebook likes to make up for their vacuous and boring real life personalities.

 I'm still completely convinced that ditching social media and all that type of needy 'look at me' pish that goes with it has been my best decision of the year by far. Highly recommended. 

I have never understood the Elf on the shelf carry on, most folk I see doing it on my Facebook are maws who have too much spare time. A lot of it just looks like a mess they’ll then need to spend time cleaning up after.

Unplugged myself from the matrix about 5 years ago now and can't say I've ever had one thing to make me regret it .

Folk who ask you to ask somebody a question then when you give them the answer go and do what they wanted to in the first place even though that's the opposite of the answer you gave. 

If you aren't interested in the answer, don't ask the question in the first place!

Smoke alarm battery warning beep. 1.30am. Problem is, it took me about 10 minutes to work out which one of the seven alarms it was.

Locate said beeping unit, uninstall it, remove the dying battery and mail the alarm and battery to @RH33 so she can toss it under her neighbours settee with the battery reinstalled. That’ll puzzle them a fair bit.

I saw a thing - about the size of a thumbnail consisting of a watch battery, a wee bit circuit board and a wee loudspeaker. Designed to be easily hidden, it emits a beep at random intervals from 1 minute to 12 hours. I want some! It would drive folk daft trying to find it.

 

Forgotten where I saw it though 🙁

Mrs Mathematics left one of those in a busy office at work.

When someone gives you a bottle of port for christmas, and then the cork falls apart when you open it as its obviously been sitting upright in their cupboard for 10 years and dried out.

Having to decant it through a sieve, clean the bottle then find another feckin cork.......

Christmas is a wonderful time to get rid of random shit out of your cupboard by giving it to someone else though.
