Small things that annoy you (3)

^ It doesn't make sense as a nice gesture when you're so far away from crossing that all they're doing is wasting their time. You'd think they would learn what's efficient from experience. Worse still is it's now the time of year when some drivers can't seem to comprehend that the sky being dark combined with it being dark inside their car and their headlights shining means pedestrians can't actually see them when they're presumably making a hand gesture for someone to cross. A lot of them seem to think "I can see you so you must be able to see me", forgetting that they can only see you because they're shining bright lights at you.

How some people go about never servicing their car, drastically reducing it's life.

So many dealers advertise cars as full service history, then you ask the mileages/dates it's been serviced at and they come up with some bullshit. One of the worst I've seen is a ten year old car with 4 stamps

Recipes on tv or online that literally nobody will ever make.

E.g. "Kim-Joy’s recipe for apple crumble desert with camels and cacti"

^ Might make it to prove you wrong. Not really it doesn't look very appealing tbh

At 8:39 I get an email saying "Your H Samuel order is scheduled for delivery to you on 09 Nov 2019 between 12:00 and 16:00". At 9:00 there was banging on the door which I ignored obviously and turns out it was these jokers. Luckily they just signed for it themselves and posted it through the door.

That I am most definitely getting rosacea. I'm trying not to freak out about it, but f*cking hell, can't I get a break in the whole appearance lark? I don't drink, smoke or sunbathe ffs, yet once again I'm tripping over my genes.

The last time I went to the doctor about it he did at least acknowledge my skin was looking red and patchy in places, but as I'm 'under 30' it's not something to worry about at the moment apparently. Hmph.

[3stacks]

^Ive had it since I was about 13 and doctors never do much

[Appear]

^ That's naff. I've always been a blusher, only now the blushing is starting to look more permanent. Very annoying.

The dogs worked herself into having an anxiety attack and we've had no fireworks (yet!) tonight.

[Mo34]

^ aww bless her. Is it she's just anticipating them do you think?

[Rocket Spud]

Yeah, that's exactly what it is, there was nothing happening to set her off. I'm sure she'll be okay later in the week, just gotta let her do her thing for now.

[Utopia]

I've only had two dogs in my life and one of them would bark aggressively, and our border collie doesn't like them but I think by now he gets it - still doesn't really like them though.

[Rocket Spud]

^^ Yeah, darkness is the primer. I've tried things and not tried anything, but it's really difficult to judge where she's taking her cues from

[Utopia]

^ Try distracting the dog with treats when it goes dark, this should then hopefully help it associate the darkness with something nice instead.

My mum didn't get H Samuel to deliver something to my aunt, because she thought they used royal mail, so she had it delivered to herself and she is now sending it to my aunt via royal mail.

So she thinks It's better to have it travel through the RM network twice rather than once and she thinks when she sends it via RM it's magically safer. I tried explaining it to her 20 times and she just has no comprehension.

I'm so angry at her stupidity and lack of basic comprehension that I've got hick ups.

[Dougella]

^ I'm confused, does she trust Royal Mail or not trust them?

[Schmosby]

She only trusts them if she's s the one using them

[Dougella]

Oh, ok

[Sisyphus]

Chilblains.

Every year it comes earlier and gets worse. My toes are driving me nuts with their itching and they will soon start to look like they are about to drop off.

'Ooo, 3-months free premium subscription to Deezer - i'll have some of that, save £30 that i'd otherwise be putting in Spotify's pockets .... let's check when i last paid my Spotify sub... '

The way my hands go to shit in this weather. Well, my fingers do - cracked, dry, etc.

Looking at some 'working hands' product on Amazon - wouldn't some shea butter do just as well, anyone... ?

[Dougella]

^ My hands do that too in the winter. I think pretty much anything moisturising will help, you could cover your hands in vaseline if you have any. Oh, coconut oil works too I think.

[Rocket Spud]

Yeah, i've just rubbed in a dollop of shea butter, which i'll probably stick with, i prefer natural products. Never had this problem when i was younger

[genovese]

^ How far you gonna go, boyo?

[Rocket Spud]

Erm, is it the chicken episode.. ?

That The Guy messages me all the time (I'm talking like 30+ messages a day) including good mornings and goodnights and when he's at a party like tonight. I can't not respond because he's so dreamy but it's making me wayyyyyyyy more emotionally involved than I should be. Stop showing me interest FFS (if that's even what it is). In any other situation it would be more than welcome.

I should chat to him about it but don't wanna scare him off or something. Ugh.

(Feel free to middle finger the screen at how annoying this post itself/me in general is. I understand - just did it myself.)

[newbs16]

^ Have you met him in person?

[Appear]

^ Yep, a fair few times.

[Schmosby]

He sounds needy.
