Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I'm 23 on Wednesday but I can already see 1 or 2 grey hairs kicking about at the back of my head

It is only a few, is this normal?

Anyways they're just fucking pissing me off, I'm getting old and I don't like it

Wait until you find your first grey pube. I found one last week. I'm never going back to that kebab shop again.

when I'm at the gym i have to walk through 5 separate doors between the gym and the pool and when ever there is someone behind me i have to hold open each door out of courtesy and when theres someone behind me they always thank me for each individual door i hold open for them out of courtesy and its awkward as f**k. everyone behind me is like "thanks" "thanks pal" thanks mate""cheers" "ta" thank you" just to break up the pleasantries

I reckon that people that go to the gym are going for the exercise and not pleasantries, give them a wee challenge that the doors present.

I have to go through this routine everyday whilst dropping off and picking up my daughter from day care. As the "gate holder" I don't want them to say thanks every time once is enough, but as the "follower" you just feel like you have to say thanks each time. Good manners can be a bitch sometimes.

I believe the etiquette is that after the 2nd or 3rd door you let them overtake, meaning you split the choice of gratuities.

Door holding etiquette is awkward as hell, for example at what distance is the follower before it is ok to let the door shut behind you?

The overtake is a dodgy manoeuvre IMO, very easily makes things weird.

If all this door-related malarkey is getting you down, there are parts of London where you can hold a door open all day long and never see so much as a nod of gratitude.

Catch me working at the Ritz again :angry:

I used to know a laddie who claimed getting older was great. Society considers that men generally become more attractive as they age (to a point), while the opposite is true for women. According to him, women who wouldn't have touched him with a ten foot pole when he was a young man became desperate if they'd reached a certain age and were still single, while younger lassies thought he was all debonair and mysterious purely 'cause he was older than them. Plus, he reckoned some liked to hook up with him to spite their parents, or because they had daddy issues. So, basically, he was plowing everything like it was harvest time.

He may have been a bit of a sociopath, thinking about it :unsure2:

Never heard of the saying "men age like whisky, women age like milk"?
