Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Made a lovely pork casserole for dinner, and the wife's just covered hers with barbecue sauce without even tasting it.

Mine pours half a bottle of soy sauce over any stir fry I make before tasting. I'm tempted to stir a load of salt into her plate full before serving next time.

Are you suggesting that or is it just something that gets on your nerves?

Either that or oor Miguel is getting confused with the Reasons to be Cheerful thread.

An old girlfriend wouldn't eat without copious amounts of ketchup, to the point of tantrums. The wife's an upgrade TBF.

My wife hasn't taken my surname. It's actually easier to change mine to hers over here but not sure I'd suit  9888.png&key=fbdbeca175066b1cd3b96ff82c39a27c495cb58d5fde86a39ba6a855ffeb41fdas my surname.


Here in the Philippines, when a women gets married she takes the husband's name but her maiden name becomes her middle name. Children's middle name is the mother's maiden name.

Keeps the feminists happy I suppose.

At the airport now. Tannoy to remain seated at the gate and boarding will commence soon by grouping. Cue heaps of people immediately standing up and waiting at the gate.

We deserve to be extinct.

Never understood this behaviour. I just sit down until the queue's gone then wander over.

Also the idea of letting folk on rows 1-18 then 18-36 or whatever is ridiculous. Still leads to the aisles being clogged up while everyone puts their luggage away. Would make more sense to board the people on the window seats, then the middle seats, then the aisles.

Best way is to put the seat number on a ball and get the airport to employ a Z list celebrity to draw the boarding order before every flight

I took this at Malaga airport last week.  45 mins before the flight was due to leave and the plane hadn't even landed yet.

Cattle.

ETA. The guy in the blue and white stripy top near the front rocked up with the folk he was travelling with, deposited his bags at the front of the queue and then went and sat down.  I gave him my best Greggy face as we got on before him as we were travelling with kids.

Should have alerted the authorities to the unattended baggage

It happened to me once and it is a horrible experience. One poster said "Come on throbber its hard enough having to read one of your posts" [emoji20]



Must have been devastating.

Having realised what happened, it now just looks like people agreeing with me, and not ripping the piss.

Hopefully.

Annoying wummin from the office next door comes in earlier to make porridge and takes out a fresh bottle of milk.

"There's one already opened"
"But there's not enough in that for my porridge"
"Well use what's left then open that one up"
"No point is there?"
*proceeds to open up a fresh bottle of milk to make her porridge

I cannae get ma heid roon this wummin. Refuses, point blank, to use the office milk unless it's been unopened. This means the milk goes off quicker and there's always four or five half finished bottles kicking about by weeks end and if I forget to do the sniff test it's Russian roulette making a cuppa that I don't get the one that's went off. She fills the kettle right up to the top to make one cup of tea, always turns up 15 minutes late and takes an extra 15-30 minutes on her lunch break every day.

Worst part is when I've got a quiet 10-15 minutes and I decide to watch a video or listen to a podcast or something and she sees me doing it she will, without fail, come over and strike up conversation about whatever boring as f**k pish she done the day before. "I was going to make a cake but I ran out of cake mix so I didn't make a cake and just made a fruit salad instead"

f**k off hen.

But she's a nice enough wummin and quite pleasant and friendly. That makes it worse somehow.
