Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I've got a raging toothache. I seem to remember chewing gum helped last time, so I picked up a pack of Starburst gum, which I'd no idea existed before.

Wish I still didn't. Tastes nothing like Opal Fruits, and only lasts about a minute. The disappointment is worse than the pain.

Until you get a chance to get to the dentist, hope aspirin gets you through the night!

Am I the only person on the planet who has absolutely no interest whatsoever in 'true crime'? The proliferation of it in the last 5 years, podcasts, documentaries etc etc has been incredible and I haven't watched or listened to a single bit. 

Thinking this might be a classic case of me being right and literally everyone else being wrong.

Is that what she calls the knives in your house? If so, nice knowing you.

Have you put your tune up on the Funeral music thread for info?

She’s always said she’s an admirer of the Tales of the Unexpected episode when the wifie batters her husband to death with a frozen leg of lamb then eats the murder weapon.

She is switched on!

There is no way you can out run a frozen leg of lamb.

If people get upset at a shop closing, they should have supported it better or find an alternative ffs.

I'll add, shop owners who think they have some divine right to thrive.

Just recently, we had a guy open a smoke shop near here. No, not that kind of smoking...the traditional stuff - tobacco, cigarettes and the like. It seemed an odd business move to me, given how few people smoke these days and those that do, mostly get their fix from the petrol stations, Walmart or other discount cigarette outlets that seem to be everywhere. Not only that, but he was in a fairly out of the way location with little passing traffic.

I went in with a smoker mate a month or so ago. The guy had a right-wing hate radio show playing, anti-Obama and pro-Trump posters on the wall and a hand-written sign stating "Me no hablo Mexicano" on the counter. Remember the army-surplus guy from the Michael Douglas film "Falling Down"? Yeah, him. I noticed he had a display case of Zippo lighters so I took a look. The design of every one was of the theme "Yeah 'Murica!" and were about 100% more expensive than you can buy them pretty much anywhere else. My mate said his cigarettes were equally stupidly priced. Almost as if the guy was buying them at retail and trying to add his own markup.

We didn't linger.

Anyway, his business lasted about 4 months, which is about 4 months longer than I would've expected. He's currently all over social media ranting "So much for the community spirit", "Whatever happened to supporting local businesses?" and "It's time all you liberals went back to the city!"

From reading the story and your obvious dislike for this fella shouldn't this be in the reasons to be cheerful thread?

Snorkmaiden is currently bemoaning the fact that she has run out of serial killer stories to watch.
