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

[eastyy]

here is a bank related irk

Dad: Me and my wife are divorcing and we have agreed she signs the house over to me so i need to change my mortgage soley to my name

Bank: Sorry you need to reapply for a new mortgage

Dad: ok how can i do that

Bank: sorry you cannot as you are not working and on disability

so its between a rock and a hard place type of situation....so i have had to leap in and get my name on the mortgage so it can be signed over

In regards to all the drivers licence irks: if only there was some sort of ID card, maybe the government should look into that? Ha. /satire

Use a passport instead plus most banks will accept utility bills, council tax bills, etc, etc if you don't have a driver's licence.

Had our work xmas party last night. Why do DJ's insist on making it so loud? It makes no sense to me. It's not like turning it down a bit would make people dance any less, but it means everyone has to shout as a result.

Plus the music was too contemporary for my tastes, sounded like the kind of playlist I'd expect at a university party. And I don't like dancing. I didn't get drunk enough to overcome my inhibitions.

Looks like you were right. We had a big barney cos it took her 4 days to finally tell me, when all she had to do was say there n then (something I have learned from my past) so we could discuss it instead of us both getting wound up & frustrated over time. She does this all the time. Its like trying to get blood out of a stone with her most of the time. She's so guarded.

She assumes I didnt want to move in with her ever, which is BS, but I told her that she is so up n down all the time that I dont know where I stand or if I'll move in yet. I didnt really mean it. It was spur of the moment stuff, but she took offence & assumes I dont want to be with her. There is something not quite right about her tho. She has actually told me that she's changed since she moved here a few yrs ago. I dont know if its bipolar or something else. She jumps from 1 extreme to the other, & I dont know whether I'm on my arse or my elbow a lot of the time. If she carries on like this she's gonna be a lonely bitter old woman.

I apologized over that little outburst but it looks like I'll probably be adding myself to the 'Gf left me' thread again, 'sigh'.

Only you can decide what you want at the end of the day but I know your experience well and I'm glad its over for me. My ex was crazy like that, one minute she was in love, the next she'd go beserk at me for the most trivial of things. It's no way to live.

I always tried to convince myself the good outweighed the bad, and when it was good it was awesome, but when it was bad, it was beyond a joke at times. Can't live with the constant ups n downs. So stressful!


Edit:

Agree with you on the loudness thing. I love going out etc but I absolutely hate when I wake up the morning after ALWAYS with a sore throat from shouting so much. It's just stupid.

Football injuries are my current irk. Suffered concussion and a night in hospital a few months back. After a few weeks rest I get hit with a nasty two footed tackle that leaves my knee badly swollen. A couple of months pass by until my knee is fit to go again and on the first game back today I twist my lower back in an awkward landing. Can hardly walk now!

Need to look for a new sport I reckon.

Drink nothing but straight rum and don't eat anything. Sure fire way to overcome inhibitions...and cause lots of other problems...

Sorry if I'm out of turn here but wasn't your last Mrs Bi Polar?

You know where this is going. Either spill the full beans to her or just bail out an dtry again with the next 'Bi Polar'

Harsh yes, but there does seem to be a pattern.

Oh my god. Come to think of it, youre right . Nah the other 1 was severely depressed. There is a difference btw. I've spilled me beans over her but not inside her (for the obvious reason).

Problem is mate that some women are clever little things. When you 1st meet them & date them they can be the sweetest little things, but eventually they cant keep up the facade forever.

Sherlock Holmes: [on the pyjama suicides] Directing them is one of the most fiendishly clever minds in all Europe today. I suspect a woman.

Dr. John H. Watson: You amaze me, Holmes. Why a woman?

Sherlock Holmes: Because the method, whatever it is, is particularly subtle and cruel. Feline, not canine.

Inspector Lestrade: Popycock. When a bloke does himself in, that's suicide.

Sherlock Holmes: Unless a bloke is driven to suicide; in that case it's murder.

Dr. John H. Watson: Driven? That *sounds* like a woman, doesn't it?

This brings me to an irk of mine.

You're at a party, the music's not to your taste, but you're quite happy chilling, sitting down and getting into the vibe of the event. You may even be talking to someone.

Then, all of a sudden, somebody who knows you decides that you're not having enough fun and tries to pull you out of your seat to get you to dance to music you don't really like very much. You then spend the next 10 minutes fighting them off and telling them you're OK where you are, you are enjoying yourself, but just don't feel like dancing just yet.

But nooooooo.... that's not good enough, and so you're dragged onto the dancefloor and expected to try to bust a move to something you'd ordinarily not even be caught dead listening to, let alone trying to dance to.

Why is is some people insist on forcing you to have fun their way?

[kernow]

Repaired a 360 and it decides to crash or freeze on utterly ridiculous things like downloading an update (omg you have to display a progress bar), or playing a trial of some pathetic indy game, and then you try a few graphics intensive demos and its fine for a few hours wtf

If anyone tried that with me I'd open a bottle of Vintage Special Reserve Cuss and pour it over them. I hate the Fun Fascists.

Hate work xmas parties. Expected to drink loads (I'm not much of a drinker it must be said), get deafened by crap I'd never listen to, and can't have a decent conversation with anyone because I have to yell in their ear to get anywhere. Naturally if I don't attend, I'm seen as a bit of an arse... can't win.

I went in, what is usually, a quiet pub in Durham before Christmas for a pint. It was maybe 7.45pm. I bought a drink and sat at a table. Then some wanky wanker DJ started up a disco thing at the front of the pub, complete with gash tunes and flashing lights. Nobody did anything, apart from scowl and have to raise the conversations they were enjoying to a shout. All of the old boys looked suitably disgusted, and I downed my beer and walked out.

It was deafeningly loud and wholly pointless. Why bother in a quiet pub with a clientele who are not into that kind of ****?
