You're not up the duff too, are you? Keep with the BE tradition and keep quiet about it if you are, though.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Peeve #1...Trains that block crossings (although they are a good excuse for being late for work) This morning they were backed up from the town that I live to the town where I work:sneaky:
Peeve #2..Train drivers that keep sounding their horns during the night and wake me up:sneaky: Never used to hear them and now we do. The only reason I can think of is the massive loss of trees since Hurricane and Ike and last years drought and fires. They may have blocked the noise some:confused: Peeve #3...Last minute changes with co-workers so now I have to come into work tomorrow and we had planned a ride to see the bluebonnets. Why do people have to be so indecisive and why do I give in, I'm peeved at myself really:sneaky::o |

Bloody inconsiderate people. How dare they blow their train horns at night, I think you should write them a letter voicing your disgust. I bet it was the train drivers wife that asked if you'd change your shift with her, too. Absolutely terrible. :frown: :D

Re: Pet Peeves?
Mayo jars.
The squeezy bottle is half the size of a regular tub and usually costs a couple of bucks more...so inevitably, me being a tight arse, I get the large tub and have to scoop the mayo into the old squeeze bottle using a spoon. What a pain in the arse...why do they bother? Meh. |

It unbelievably shits me off no end, especially when you can hear them have the hump over the phone that you would ask, despite you telling them you don't give a shit and that they called you first and phone etiquette isn't complicated. Double bonus points for when those flacidpickledforeskinheadedarsecheeks give you another huff when you say you are in fact not that person they asked about and nor do they live in the house and in fact they have the wrong number. It's even more awesome when you have this argument via text message. It gets better when you get a call in the morning from someones mum asking why you were being so rude to their son via text message and they hadn't ever heard of anyone being so rude not vile before. What sheltered lives they must live...also, they have a new view of English people and it isn't all Inspector Morse. I call it a cultural enrichment to ones vocabulary to extend ones ability to go beyond just using a four letter rude word. The person didn't quite see it that way. Basically, don't call me...I really don't have a pleasant phone manner. |
