Agreed, I even annoyed myself with it enough to make a new account. Shouldn't be allowed.

I only seem to attract middle-aged women :/

Mind you, my life is pretty much; work-home-work-home-work-home-work-home.. and repeat

I just left the stupid machine and went to a till

The bag was in the bagging area. Those scales are really sensitive. I scan everything, pay, then bag it up.

Farm vehicles driving at 10mph on public roads in daylight.

Not having the house to myself. My nephew and his girlfriend is here and seem like they plan on staying another night >_<

Generation Erm · #**582** 27th November 2013, 16:12

cooking potatoes in the oven. they take so long to cook so you have to plan your meal around the potato. it also varies on the size so its a tricky balance to get the timing right.

Not being able to hear the TV over the sound of your own eating.

Appear · #**584** 27th November 2013, 17:08

^ Ah yep, same. The sloppy thing especially. I actually can't eat sandwiches if they have anything that's in anyway sloppy in them - butter, marg, cream cheese etc. - because I have flashbacks of friend in junior school school who always used to have such things at lunch and sit there open mouth with it all slopping about.

Just the sight of another eating a Philadelphia sandwich still makes me cringe. Ik.

And on another similar note, I can't stand getting stuck behind trucks on a dual carriageway overtaking other trucks just because they want to go 0.1 mph faster than the other truck, there was one time where it must have taken a full 3 minutes for the truck to overtake cause it was uphill

I hate it, it makes my skin crawl.

Or people who talk when their mouth is full of food - so disgusting.

I hate noisy eating. My good friend who was staying with me for a few days recently is a particularly noisy eater and it was driving me mad!

That's one of my annoyances as well! Although it really doesn't take much to annoy me.

I personally think a law should be passed, forcing anyone who wants to eat crisps to eat them in a sound-proofed cubicle

Perfume and fragrance adverts near to Christmas and how it seems everyone has their own fragrance out, I've just seen an advert for the new One Direction fragrance, I mean WTF seriously

Getting a strong craving for cereal at a time which is totally inappropriate for it.

Appear · #**592** 28th November 2013, 01:35

^It's only societal convention that says it's inappropriate. I say if you want cereal, have cereal. Toast, on the other hand, that's another matter.

I have toast with dinner. I'm assuming you're a strict breakfast traditionalist?

Toast with dinner, that's a bit radical and something I've never considered.

Actually, I have been know to have brown toast with a prawn cocktail starter - so I guess that's the same? And, I occasionally have toasted sandwiches for lunch ... do I need to worry?

Mr_Bean · #**595** 28th November 2013, 08:48

Boss with a cock and bull story to make me come in earlier. But heyho 3 more working hours.

Oh my god, neither of you want to be admitting this in writing. When you get exiled for crimes against dinner propriety, don't expect sympathy from me.

I should start visiting my library again, I love the smell of libraries and it'd give me a good reason to leave the house other than work. You could go to charity shops when the library closes, they usually have a good selection of books.

Well you could read it again

Good luck back at work, glad to hear you're going back.
