    Things that annoy

    So far today...

    1) People who don't wait for others to exit the lift or train carriage before trying to pile in.
    2) People who have personal discussions via email with their mates in work but 'reply to all'
    3) People who walk into your office and just start talking to you whilst you're on the phone.

    It's only 9:30 FFS. It's gonna be one of those days I can tell and I was actually feeling quite good when I woke up.

    Anyone else thinking that today could go a bit pear shaped? (Do people still say that?)

    I have felt like that since I got divorced.

        There is a story(urban myth?) about a chap who offered an overwight lady a seat on a tube - she said "do I look pregnant to you?".

                Yes, that is just wrong.

                  I have a very pointy elbow and solid shoulder with considerable backing for such types.

                    Thats equality for you,
                    Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.
