😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

I bet that wasn’t the “you carry on” hand sign he gave you, Phil.

Delayed flights

delayed an hour and half in KL so have to drink more free Vodka and Coke

but will now not arrive home until tomorrow :lou_sad:

At least you could get past security to wait for your delayed flight unlike thousands in the EU at the moment with these new passport checks!

What new checks?

Basically if you are not in the Schegen area, they have to stick your passport through the reader - most of the continental airports dont have the staff to cope with this and as a result the queues are massive.

On the up side, we now won’t notice the difference when we Brexit

Over posh over loud accents in the bloody lounge

Similar to this.

When a company approaches you, asking you to apply for an open role. Then asks you to carry out a skills test, which took up a fair amount of your time, and then the bastards don’t get back to ya.

Pricks.

Applying for a job in Local Gov as it fits your CV so perfectly that nobody else in the world could match it…and you don’t get a reply. Methinks I was better qualified than the person set to recruit a new team. :lou_eyes_to_sky:

You’ll have seen on the tellybox that absolute commuter armageddon was foretold about the London Waterloo station"improvements". Being clever I thought I’d avoid it by spending a few days in my Co’s Cheltenham office.

According to Mrs C_S there was no commuter meltdown and they were giving away free icecream…FREE icecream!!!

Now stuck in a hotel with no decent televisual entertainment and the slowest of slow WiFi - ahem!

This is everyday life and I am annoyed!

Getting slowly marinated in Amstel on a Monday without Mrs C_S bending my ear.

Life ain’t too bad after all

Unrequited love.

I loved Matt, then I loved Rickie - and they both loved me back.

Every other fucker has been shagging around.

It is also a small known fact that microsoft have several lines of code built in which they call the anxiety matrix. In simple terms it reconfigures the computer microphone to detect the level of stress and anxiety of the user. It then increases the length of time an update takes in direct proportion to the level of anxiety and stress detected.

Good luck

Selling a Digital SLR camera on the local FB trading page at the beginning of August.

150 quid…it’s a bit of a bargain because I’ve also thrown in a 100-300 zoom lens. About an hour later I have a buyer with a foreign sounding name. Where are you? I ask. Just off Gibraltar he replies, he’s crew on P&O Azura back on the 12th. Well if you’re serious about it I will save it for you. Yes yes he says you have my word…I will have it. OK I will save it for you and I’ll meet you at the terminal on the 12th…I won’t sell it to anyone else…it’s yours.

An hour later I have a message from someone a couple of miles away who would also like the camera…sorry, I say, It’s sold.

I’m good like that…the buyer has my word.

As time approaches he messages me asking if everything is still OK. Yes I say you have my word.

Yesterday he messages me with a string of questions…some he’s already asked and pictures I’ve already sent. How many lenses? Two. How old is it? 6 years…bla bla bla. Can we meet at 8.20am tomorrow? OK no problem.

So I say if you’re having second thoughts, say now, I will understand. No reply. He has my mobile number so no problem contacting me.

This morning I check FB to see if he has replied…he hasn’t. Does he want out or does he want to buy. I re-read his messages and get to the bit where he says, “You have my word” OK I go to meet him for 8.20 at the Mayflower Terminal.

The fucker doesn’t show. He has my number…I wait 30 minutes and then go home.

I messaged him when I got home:

"You know what annoys me more than anything?
That you value YOUR WORD so cheaply. Not even
worth a 15 second phone call, text or FB message."

It’s a trifling thing but Kharma will teach him a lesson…hope he remembers me. :lou_wink_2:
