Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

when do we get to drop e as a prefix for example e-briefing and e-newsletter. everybody gets their info electronically now, it is the norm so can we drop the e now. (lol)

Can we keep it for e-mail?

Don't fancy telling the wife about the mail I had at work. Especially if she wasn't surprised.

How old can you hold one of them for?

It depends if you have a younger brother who looks like you or not.

Whatever you do, don't look at what you could have saved by splitting your ticket between intermediate stations. It will only annoy you even more.

I got to Queen Street station and decided to chance it on the train. Presented my ticket, with my thumb covering the "Y-P" bit on the ticket. Got away with it. So quite relieved about that but know I won't get so lucky again.

Being in zombie mode due to nightshift

Too much wanking over King Kebab's GIFs?

Edit: aw, pish. Should've realised someone else would've taken advantage of that particular open goal.

The dictionary definition of "compete" is "to take part in a contest".

Contest is "engage in a competition to gain supremacy or power"

Even if the result itself is pre-determined, the wrestlers still have to compete against each other to get that result in their favour by showing throughout these matches and behind the scenes they have the skill and talent to be worthy of winning matches.

The wrestling's fake, but the office politics are real :lol:

I understand that marrying the CEO's daughter helps too. Maybe Messi can try slipping one to Sepp Blatter's relatives in order to get that elusive World Cup winner's medal.

It's used all the time by the young folk of Dundee. As a teacher I get lessons in all of the yoof language and I can confirm that 'weapon' (sometimes 'wep' ) is used to describe someone who is a bit of alright.

WTF? I officially hate children.

Who am I kidding? I hated them even when I was one.

im afraid not. emails will henceforth be known as mail. physical mail will be known as post.

Apropos of nowt, there was a lassie in my college class (back when mail was called e-mail) who would accidentally ( <_< ) type 'hotmail.com' as 'hotmale.com'. Cue regular hilarity when her screen was filled with gay porn popups.

hotmial.com was another good one; viruses everywhere and a good bollocking from the network tech. But only if she'd been very, very good :P

Random one; when people can't close a door properly, and spend ages opening it and closing it. Infuriates me.

Also, folk who once lived somewhere with a sticky door, and spend the rest of their lives slamming every door they meet as hard as they can.

Especially good if they manage to catch your fingers while doing so.
