😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

My missus won’t do Polish shops. She tried to buy some Mr Sheen from one once and left confused and disappointed.

Being booked on 2 more courses on day 1 of the first course
1 of these is a self rescue course in water and the other for lifeboat maintenance.
I can swim and fix diesel engines and row some oars.

Hate them. Suffered badly in my teens. I have had brief visual migraines since but haven’t really had a headache of any sort.

The closest description to what I’ve been hit with since March and why I’ve been traipsing round to get different tests done/booked.

I feel your pain.

Not that it will help with current UK waiting times but some can be caused by a jaw imbalance often caused by an uneven bite. A dentist can spot that very quickly.
(One of the 1st things my Neurologist checked last week)

Had that checked but not the cause. Worst thing is I get allodynia with them and I am lucky enough to get a migraine at least once a week, always have since I was 5yr

Total sympathy.
Quite shocked that I’ve been pushed through for scans so fast - the attacks were agony, eased at the moment, but jumping the queue by 6 months is good for hopefully getting a resolution but worrying how serious the Docs think it could be.

Well I’m the perennial optimist (Saints supporter) and I’m betting you’ll be OK, not sure if that helps.

In my experience, nowadays they check for nasties first and then take a leisurely stroll through the lesser but more likely outcomes.

If they start by shoving things up your other end, suspect their motives.

Not shutting the freezer properly on Sunday and inadvertently defrosting it with several hundred pounds worth of food. The Ayatollah immediately blamed me. Annoyingly she may be right

Being allowed to let rip with fire extinguishers at actual fires is just epic fun.
My old MNC flew me to Galway for EHS training 6 hangovers, remembered the avoiding back injury bit & letting rip with the foam.
Ah memories.
Bloody brilliant fish & chips washed down with proper Guinness

Funniest bit of this course was watching the 16 to 22 year olds being told to turn there phones off and leave them in the lockers.
They are helpless without a phone attached to them

The idiot who got upset at a merge in turn and tried not to let me merge in turn, he even sped up to try and stop me. Then beeped his horn at me.

Then, later, he tries to undertake me in a cycle lane and scrapes the side of my car and drives off. Luckily he got stopped in traffic and my son got out of the car and stood in front of his to stop him driving off. I asked him for his details and he refused to give them to me.

After about 10 mins of us standing there not letting him move the police turn up…nothing they can do as there was no injury, insurance job.

He claims he’s got it all on dashcam, if he has then he is admitting guilt, bet that never gets submitted to the insurance company. Especially as he drove off at high speed and drove erratically after scraping my car…

Even worse, it’s Mrs Btripz’s insurance policy that the car is insured under :slight_smile:

If he drive off after an accident it’s a criminal offence - that’s like 9pts

Yep I’d get back to the cops and point that out and that you’re not satisfied with their answer. It needs to go on record.

One law change here works perfectly.
In a merging queue you MUST alternate.
Failure is a £200 fine every Bus Cop Ambulance & about 1/2 population have dashcam.
Any member of public can send dashcam video in & they issue the fine.
It’s now a ā€œthingā€ here, how many BMW/Audi drivers you can Nick.
Brother in law has 3 so far :clap::clap::clap:

I won an ā€œargumentā€ today.
Proper haircut & beard trim.
Told him what I wanted.
Mrs P_F said something else.
I end up with an early Grealish.
I point out he needs to take an inch off top. No is the reply.
You idiot I say, you know what my hair will do when that gel fades.
We got home.
Oh shit you were right she says :man_facepalming:
