The leaflet is supposed to always be on the same side...either the expiry date side or t'other, I forget which it is. But once you clock it you'll forever be leaflet free.

^ I've just checked my pill packet and the leaflet is on the side without the expiry date, interesting!

No she's just selfish. It uses hot water from the taps rather than using electric. She just thinks she's awake, she can do it. Ultimately I need to move out, (one housemate like this who thinks 4am is a normal hour to prounce about, and another housemate who gets drunk and has his TV blaring) but everything takes time.

Oh that sucks. :C The worst thing about flat life is the neighbors you have to deal with for sure.

^ Living in a flat does open your eyes to other people's behaviour, I would never live in a flat where you would have neighbours in every direction and I'm happy not to live on the ground floor.

It's shocking how much noise carries.

I bet they think you're the odd one out as you don't seem to have a noisy 4am hobby!

Pogo sticking?

[Ronnie_Pickering]

I'll have to try that! but basement guy won't be happy.

[biscuits]

^ you keep a man in your basement?

[anxiouslondoner]

I used to get a lot of noise from the neighbours but these days, not so much.
Actually that's a bit worrying, now I think about it.
What happened to the crying baby upstairs? Did that family move out?
I don't remember seeing the woman from upstairs in a while, so probably they moved out.

I still get noise from the street, and random noisy a-holes walking past having arguments at all times, plus the bin lorries making a racket.

Mother’s Day. Any ‘day’ really.

[anxiouslondoner]

People stupidly using my address instead of their own.
And then I get taxi drivers turning up to collect someone who doesn't live here.
Anyone capable of ordering a cab should know where they live, surely.

Not really being able to relate to about 50% of the lyrical content of the music i listen to. Then you have a good chunk of other normal shit i can't relate to. The existential content isn't enough, so bring on the robots i say. I almost certainly won't be around by that time but my type of person will be happier no doubt.

When you sit on the loo reading for a while and your legs go numb

[biscuits]

When you're going out for dinner and you just don't know what to eat in the day because you want to eat but you don't want to not be hungry for dinner.

a small bowl of cereal usually does the trick

[Ronnie_Pickering]

inconsiderate drivers. You want to come out a junction, the other guy wants to turn into your junction. An A+ driver holds back lets person out, then goes himself. Too many people are like f*ck the guy coming out, I'm gonna obstruct you and then turn in.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

virus. Managed a year without one. And courtesy of a low amount of sleep and mother's day with a mother with a cold/covid, and bam I have it.

[anxiouslondoner]

I like tomatoes. I know that's a luxury nowadays.
But I don't like it when you put some slices of tomato on a sandwich and then you have the half-used tomato just sitting there, staring at you guiltily. Sometimes I think I can hear it whispering to me "you absolute monster". I feel compelled to put it out of its misery rather than have it sitting there like a stain on my conscience.

[biscuits]

^ I usually cut the left over bit into segments and put a bit of salt on top and eat it!

Tomatoes in this country are the least tastiest, unless you grow your own. They're so watery and tasteless from the supermarket. I've only had Spanish and Portuguese tomatoes and they're far superior. I will still eat the UK ones though but they're a bit meh. I know the ones available here are grown abroad, but they're not the same!

I can just eat a tomato like an apple though. I love them!

The mispronunciation of people's names after they've told you how to pronounce their name correctly. It really annoys me when people do this.

For example, Pedro Pascal, Timothee Chalamet, and Rihanna. Always mispronounced! I'd feel awful if I was mispronouncing someone's name to them.

[Percy]

How is Rihanna suppose to be pronounced?

you try to create a bank account. computer says no.

[biscuits]

^^ Thanks, Ronners, that's correct.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Housemate above me: vacuum cleaner 6.30AM. Unbelievable how selfish someone has to be to do that.

you mean, be more like these people?

[Ronnie_Pickering]

oh yeah he's a decent driver.

[Mr. Nobody]

^
aye, those videos he does are usually quite educational,
I tend to find that if I'm relaxed and not in any hurry, I'm a much better driver.
It's all about getting rid of that speedy mindset.
