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

[merf]

pubs/bars that charge £10-£12 for a decent burger and chips then ask for an extra quid for a bit of cheese, really winds me up.

I've said it before... But... Women.

Anyone else ever think it may be worth just being gay?

(though the idea of another man's bits and pieces doesn't quite fill me with happy feelings...) It's a no win situation really.

"fill me" chortle.

Work it out or find another. Took me ages to find one that was a match.

I am so there. So, SO there.

But, y'know what? When the one I have is sticking emotional spears into my heart n' soul, all I do is look at others of her type and lusticize/romanticise.

You simply cannot win, and being a gay would be worse.

But don't ever "strike" her, eh?

BOOM-BOOM!

[charlesr]

Wouldn't dare. She can bicep curl more than I can. Not difficult admittedly.

A minor annoyance... Why do people rating games have to use a score out of five system and then give "4.5s"

If they need a ten point rating scale why can't they just do it out of ten?

I think being friends with Sean means you are half way there anyway mate, don't worry.

I'd say bad pub food in general is a reasonable irk.

I remember ordering a steak and chips in one pub once and what I got for my money was a slab of bloody near raw meat in a bun. And yes, I know steak can be rare, but there is a line between rare and undercooked, and this was on the wrong side of that line. The cook took it away and cooked it up a bit more, but it still wasn't up to scratch so I just asked for my money back and left. Hungry.

Oh, and I usually go home for lunch because I live right near my work, but sometimes I'll pop into town if I fancy a pub lunch, like I did last Friday. Usually when I get lunch in a pub, I wait up to 15 minutes at the most for food. Last Friday, the pub I chose took 40 minutes. Yes, 40. To do a burger and chips. In a pub that wasn't even near full.

Just got asked for ID twice.

Picked up a bottle of glenmorangie and went to the tobacco counter in Sainsburys because the main tills have massive queues this time of year. The woman instantly takes the bottle away and asks if I have any ID, I reply 'I'm 31 and don't usually have any problems here as I've been buying alcohol here for almost ten years', she basically has none of it and says I don't look over 24 so I'm not getting jack.

I leave in a huff and decide I will beat the system and just go back and try another till, I pick up two bottles this time because I am defiant, queue up after about 3 people. When it gets to me I open my wallet and .. oh ffs I've left my card at the tobacco counter where I left in a huff.

I say I'll be right back and then run to the tobacco counter, realise I have to queue for a bit and then ask the lady if I dropped my card here, she says yes, but its at the customer services desk. -_-

I queue up at the customer services desk and eventually after 5mins sign for my card. I then run back and have to argue again with a member of staff as to why I have no ID and that I am in fact over 24.

god.

[wakka]

Hey maybe you should carry ID.

[kernow]

You know thats a good idea, but no, no thanks.

[gunrock]

RAGE!!! Why the 'eff can't a man buy booze if he's 24 or under? WTF is that all about?

This kind of arbitary non law-enforced rules that drive me MAAAAAAAAAAAD!!

[kernow]

Yer, if you look under 24 or is it 25, you have to provide ID to prove you're over 18.

I refuse to carry ID simply because I can't be bothered to carry my passport around with me, and I don't have any other form. Plus I usually just state my age firmly and they give in anyway.

I can understand their point but meh.

This reminds me, a brother of a friend of mine sent a steak back 3 times because it was overcooked (burnt to a crisp) and on the 3rd time, he stormed into the kitchen and slapped the chef. Legend!
