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

Also those 'Just for Men' adverts are clearly implying that the bird the bloke is trying to hook up with would disregard everything else about him and ditch him simply because he had grey hair. Sounds like a wonderful woman to be with

Posers who hang around outside the Gym in their gear after having a sesh.

People who go to the Gym, then out of desperation come out still in their gear just to light up a cigarette.

People who go to the Gym, then come out & go straight into the greasy Kebab/Fast Food shop next door.

What is the point?

1. THe postie not ringing my doorbell to get a signature, then scribbling on the 'Sorry You Were Out' form with what looks like writing done by someones foot! How many hrs am I supposed to wait before picking it up?, because I cant tell whether he's scrawled a '3', a '5' or a '6' ffs!!

Very unlikely that he didn't ring your bell dude, remember, if you don't sign for it, he has to write the card and carry it for the rest of his shift. Trust me, he wants you to come to the door.

Oh and it's probably a 3 or 5, but you are better off waiting til tomorrow unless your collection point is open all afternoon.

You are a very angry man though Tommy, but you get +10 points in my book for using "trou".

Some people go to the gym to bulk up rather than lose weight. Fast Food can be good for that, fatty acids, carbs and lots of protein.

On the subject of Mens hair dye adds;

That horrible adverts were the dad's daughters are going "it's time dad!", "you'll be a real catch for someone". I would be so incredibly creeped out if my daughters ever said something like that to me.

...and in truth, not many daughters/sons would be so keen on a replacement mother!

It's terrible! It's basically eight year old kids going up to their widower father and saying "Blimey Dad, you really look like you need a shag!"

Which, of course, he has no chance of getting with GREY HAIR!!!!!

Trousers waist sizes are a complete mystery. I've lost a bit of weight this year so I'm able to get back into some old trousers that I haven't used for a while; found a 34 inch waist that fit with no problem yet a different 36 inch pair would barely zip up!

Yes, how is it that different companies' tape measures don't measure out the same length? I assume this also explains why everyone on the internet has a 10" wanger.

Just for Men ads: How old is that lass in the one where the dad goes for a job interview supposed to be? And wtf is up with her voice (well, voiceover)? It must be hard being grey haired, no fanny and you can't get a job either.

my post man NEVER uses the bell. I don't think he even knows it's there. I've actually considered putting a giant arrow on the door, pointing to it. New rule: if you're blind, you can't be a postman anymore. And anyone who only has to wait 3-5 hours should consider themselves lucky; mine is 24 hours, no exceptions. I can actually see the sorting office from my bedroom window too.

[NW2013]

It's 48 hours for mine

Ours is 24 hours too.

Not the postmans fault though, the callers offices aren't open all day and the postman aren't allowed out til much later than we used to, therefore we're not back at the office before it's already closed.

I've always had a suspicion that some companies like to massage your ego while others like to call you a fat get!

Not that angry mate, just annoyed. He definatley didnt ring the doorbell as I was home all morning, & I actually have sign on the door saying 'If delivering parcels please ring bell' (it still didnt help noobish so dont bother mate).
Not ringing the doorbell & sending me down to the sorting office is 1 thing I can deal with, but the caveman like scrawl of 3, 5 or 6 hrs just took the piss mate. I know you guys are busy & have a set time to deliver but it would have only taken him about 1/10th of a second more to write it properly.

Ah right. So those fat f**kers staggering out of the Gym covered in sweat are actually 'bulking up'

On the 1st I have 2 pairs of Levi's both the same size waist both DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT IRL sizes. There is no hope of fitting into one and the other drowns me

2nd Half of your post appears to be me IRL

My old postie used to do this all the time. Lord only knows why he just couldn't be bothered. I think he would just write the card on the way up to the top floor and just post it and go.

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

News on the postie irk.

It was a new postie & she was a dippy blonde lady, which explains it all really . Should've guessed that was the case as the usual postie is a pretty decent chap.
Still doesn't excuse the fact that she didnt ring the doorbell & needs to sort out her baby's scribble-like hand writing. Even the guy in the sorting office couldnt work out my surname from her scrawl.
