9:30 Breakfast
20:00 After Gym

Maybe mid lunch one as well.

In fairness, I'm probably 1 a day. Unless hungover. Unless I've eaten bad stuff.

Those two scenarios means lots of poop.

After each meal.

Thus two a day are the paid kind.

You will probably also notice an increased posting activity from me at that time. The WiFi reaches the toilets.

Noticed this especially in Dubai - people who just stop walking at the end of an escalator so you have to push past, or those who don't let people off the train first before trying to barge on! You get this in London too mind

same with those who are waiting for the lift, it drives me insane when people try to either push past you to get into the lift, or don't have the frigging patience to let those out of the lift first before entering the lift.....in my experience the worse culprits are those from the subcontinent....no manners or etiquettes whatsoever.

You're most likely not as big as me. I just stand and block the whole lift. Generally makes the point.

SCAMPY you can't be THAT huge to block the width of a lift??
even if you stand in the centre of the door way to the lift doors, people will just push around the side of you to get in.

Almost. 6ft2 and 16 stone is hard to move or barge past if it doesn't want you to.

No chance in the big wide lifts but the ones at work and home are just narrow enough to at least make your point satisfactorily.

What annoys me more and is disturbingly common is holding the door for people to just get completely ignored. Red mist. "YOU'RE WELCOME" at the back of their head loudly helps, but doesn't satisfy the rage.

Probably my BMI.

Which doesn't take into account my muscular build or my giant, fat head.

Self important tossers on aircraft that make a massive fuss over something trivial and spend the entire flight complaining about it while dragging as many flight attendants into their narcissistic hissy fit as possible.

When I am pulling a weed but the whole bloody root does not come out, instead it breaks off at some point along the thickest portion of the root meaning the dam thing will grow back.
