Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

I've come across a lot of people that bloody stink recently, some are normal looking and you don't expect it, some you can tell they are going to reek by looking at them.

This is so true. It's usually that nasty sour sweaty stink as well for the most part. I don't know how some people can smell like that and not notice or, for that matter mind.

I worked with some one who was discplined and utlimately dismissed for being smelly. Disgusting.

[kernow]

Yup, I've worked with people who have been talked to about it. Honestly how embarassing would it be to be called aside by your boss and had a word about it.

I've had a fair few stinking housemates too, its a difficult subject to bring up, 'you stink' , but they seem to be able to walk around smelling all the time, yet you find it difficult to bring the situation up. bah,.

Yeah ppl with those farmers wax coats tend to smell a lot like that, oh & my dad cos he's like a tramp.
Also that kinda spag bol smell of sweat seems to be everywhere these days, along with ppl who smell of a stinky wet dog, & smokers who dont wash their stinky manky yellow fingers & reek of fags yuk!



......& while we're on the subject of smells - bad breath. I've tried the usual ways to smell mine & it seems pretty good. A lot of ppl's reeks of the living dead or has a sh1tty smell to it.

Reading match reports of the MLS Cup final and seeing LA Galaxy referred to as "the Galaxy", especially when seeing it on UK based web sites.

It better not catch on over here. "Great strike from Rooney, that's 1-0, and now the United have the advantage!"

Putting a 1 week auction on eBay with a starting price of 99p and a but it now of ?185 and within minutes a swarm of emails asking:

Will you take ?50 for it?
How much Do you want for it?
If I bid ?120 will you end the auction early?

What the hell is wrong with these people? All the required details are there FFS!

I'm prepared to accept as little as 99p for it and if you want to secure the item then pay me ?185. It's not difficult. eBay needs a "Report stupidity" button.

I really hate how eBay removed the ability to leave negative or neutral feedback for buyers, but leave them with the ability to give whatever feedback they want to me. Because the feedback is now essentially 50% useless, I no longer give it at all.

What kind of a sick freak wants to move house a flipping week before Xmas day???!!!!

Ha! I moved on the 4th Jan (back in 2006) and it was singlehandedly the most stressful Xmas and New Year I've ever had. Nightmare!

Thanks, sounds like I'll need it!

[losersclub]

The completion date for my new house is 24th December

Oof!

I thought mine was bad! I think you'll need my share of luck as well as your own to avoid a festive breakdown.

I think that due to some bad sellers ebay have gone totally over the top & given nearly all rights to the buyers even tho its the sellers that are putting money into their site

I've not used ebay for years now due to things like that, too many cheap tight fisted buyers on ebay, even if you put something up at a bargain price you still get a load of people trying to get you to sell for way less.

The idiot that started this thread! I guess it was a design to air and get stuff off our chests and have a discussion. I didn't realise how moany a lot of us are!

This does not include the serious irks....
