More than petty, but my Papa had a heart attack after his dialysis yesterday and had to be resuscitated. Unfortunately he passed away early this morning.

Sorry to hear that, Gaz. It puts all the petty moaning here into perspective.

When people use statements as questions.

Example: "I can't get into my office" as opposed to "I can't get into my office, do you know if there's a spare key or a way around the problem?".

Deserves the cool story bro thumbs up imo.

Sitting at work and for absolutely no reason at all, the scene in "Porno" near the start with Spud, another bloke and some disgusting, piss stained hoor came into my head and I physically dry boaked. Thankfully nobody noticed or I'd have a hard time explaining.

If you've read it, you'll know what I'm on about. [emoji53]

People who use dozens of words when a couple will do. Had an idiot in my office earlier asking me to sign off some paperwork. I did it, and she proceeded to prattle on about information in the documents which I knew about and could not have cared less about. Get to f**k, it's signed, I've got a cold, leave me alone.

Fucked my ankle ligaments again, which means I can't walk, just in time for the tennis season. Wonderful, was also 15 minutes late to work cause I'm very slow moving. [emoji23]

Thanks for all the kind words, folks.

My wife does this all the time.

"The heating's not on."

Then about ten minutes later: "Did you put the heating on when I asked?"

I can't help myself.

Why, when they were minted in 2016?

 

Because they were released in 2017. I now know they were minted in 2016 but like I said, it just irritates me slightly.

These Tesco advertising posters that say things like 'Nan's magic soup' or 'Frank's 'accidental' salmon'.

Agreed. The smarmiest adverts since those horrible Kodak ones back in the day.

Also, the "nana" in those ads looks maybe 45. The grandson looks 10 or 11.

Maybe if she spent a little less time priding herself on what seems a pretty basic soup recipe, and a little more time teaching her daughter not the repeat her own family planning mistakes, then she wouldn't be squandering her middle-age on looking after the truanting wee shit.

You want to have a look on some of the local Facebook selling pages.

Full of absolute weapons who think that because it says 2016 this is some kind of mistake and they're worth hundreds of pounds.

Even when pointed out that this is incorrect they're still insistent because "there are loads on eBay for £200!" forgetting that this doesn't actually mean someone's bought it for £200.

Yeah you always get folk at it, I'm sure there was a new fiver on ebay for something like £32k. Even if someone paid that (obviously nobody did) it's still only worth a fiver ffs

I went to Norway last month and despite changing my phone settings to 'English - United Kingdom' everywhere I can see the option to, it has since decided to display all occurrences of 'ae' as the Norwegian æ.  e.g. aeroplane shows up as æroplane.

Thought it was funny/cool at first, but it's now pissing me off knowing that I can't change it.
