Default Whats peed you off today?

Just before heading off to bed i'm channel flicking and catch up on Souvs favourite channel HGTV, theres a couple looking for a place in Florida and the realtor takes them into the master bathroom.

He says "and in here you have two double sinks"

NO YOU DON'T you are in a bathroom with a double sink or you are in a bathroom with two sinks. There are not f****g 4 sinks in this room, so you cannot possibly have two double sinks. (there weren't 4 sinks either just 2).

So its just petty, but that pissed me off today - oh and the fact that for the squillionth time my air card didn't get any service so I had to connect to dial up which was being a pain so I hit the computer.

Edited to add when buyers are being shown around these houses I detest the phrases "neutral tones" and "blank canvass" and people who say oooh this room would be perfect for an office who blatantly don't work from home

SO WHAT YOU MEAN TO SAY IS THIS SPACE WOULD BE GOOD TO PUT THE COMPUTER AND OTHER TECHY STUFF IN, DON'T TRY AND MAKE YOURSELF SOUND IMPORTANT!


Wow I should go and lie down!

Would a double sink be the same as a double bed? It's really one sink/bed only double the size of a "normal" one?

So if that's correct, a 2 double sink comment could well be correct in the same way as hotel rooms can have 2 double beds

Default Re: Whats peed you off today?

Anyway, what pee'd me off?

My brother-in-law and his young lady friend came from Vancouver to stay in London with us for a few weeks. Their departing gift in return for free room, food, use of a car, free petrol, and a fridge stocked with booze?

A ruddy horrible cold and a sore throat..............

The snow, the fact that my OH has been in Florida since Saturday, where they have been getting record highs for October. Skidding at the traffic lights, which was scarey- I never thought I should put my winter tyres on in Oct.

Shovelling the drive at 6am this morning as the snow was still coming down. Then realising that this is only October. We still have November, December, January, February and March to go. And, seeing as this is Calgary, 'shovel season' will probably include April and May too.

Then, cheering up when I realised it also meant that I wouldn't have to cut the bloody grass for 8 months! Hooray!!

Yep - snow. Not the fact that it is snowing itself, but that it is mid October. And the last snow fell on 6th June - the first snow fell 3rd October - that's not even 4 clear months. However J - I hear you on the mowing

Also - the word "Awesome" - or to be correct, " Awwwwwwwesome". But whilst listening to Radio 1 on my Sirius yesterday, some poor, very mistaken, British woman used the word "awesome-ness". Aggggghhhhhhhh

Default Re: Whats peed you off today?

Off to the supermarket -(well yesterday), and scraped the wall of the car park right along the side of the car. There was an awful scraping noise - all heads turned to look.

Steamed around the aisles so bloody mad at the stupid design of the entrance and got to the checkout.

Well I HAD to let them know didn't I? Ranted on for a bit to a blank young face at the till who eventually replied..."Have a nice day!'

PS - turns out it was only black rubber, which did rub off the car - phew!
