TheScarf Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Unless you work outside all day, so someone like a farmer or a tradesman. Why the f**k do you care if its 1 degree? Or raining? Or windy? You walk out from your place of work to your car for no more than a minute presumably. Drive home, and walk into your house. Probably less than 15 seconds from car to door. This obsession with small talk, particularly about weather is most certainly a PTTGOMN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I get asked this every day at around 3pm when I come back from a smoke by 1 lassie. We don't have a window in our office but it still does my tits in. I just wonder, why do you care ya cow? You're finishing work, going home to your cat and sitting watching recorded episodes of Homes Under the Hammer, the weather outside is of no consequence to you.Ditto for me. The same cow asks every single person about the weather that's been out and gives us all a report when she returns from her lunch that nobody asks for. Infuriating! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 When the packaging has the cooking instructions under the label. You try to take it off and it rips into small pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Currently watching the Edinburgh derby in the dark on my exercise bike because I forgot to buy sweets for Halloween. Its like sauchiehall street out there and don’t want to tell kids I don’t have anything. My nice neighbours on the other side have grandkids and go mad for it which makes it worse as I get sloppy seconds. I gave a kid about five packets of Harribo last year and he went awww as if complaining. Nearly booted him in the face. If I had kids fair enough but after seven years I’ve had nothing in return so feck it. If you could donate money to a kids charity or local issue then I would do it but I don’t see what’s good about eating loads of sweets. They don’t even sing or tell a joke now ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay in quite a residential bit so thought I better bother my arse and get a load of sweets in. 25 to 9 and no a single chap at the door.

mizfit Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 For the last hour my girlfriend has rotated phone calls on loudspeaker with a cousin, her Gran & her friend. Apparently I have to suck it up as we’re watching the football. Yet if she’s watching eastenders and I so much as cough I’m to keep silent. I sense a boot in the pie coming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made that mistake first couple of years after we moved here as well, but it turns out there are no kids of traipsing round the doors at Halloween age within at least ten houses either side of us. so we've got away with it for about the last three years now. Based on the rationale that anyone who does come round is someone we've literally never spoken a word to and their spawn who can consequently GTF, we stopped buying stuff in and we've not been bothered since. Turning the security light off so any aspiring guisers are forced to traverse a big dark garden helps as well.

I forgot to buy sweeties too but nobody chapped door tonight despite hearing kids in the street all evening. They were probably warned to stay away from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
