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

Betty Blue Eyes.

I know zero about it, anyone seen it?

[Spooky]

Disappointing someone important...

[randombs]

All I know is it's got a guy from League of Gentlemen in it.

Musicals are wack. Stay home and play your 3DS!

Theatre > games!

Only if it's a play. When most people talk about going to the theatre they mean to see Michael Jackson's Thriller or something ;/

A good play is a great experience. I saw Speed-the-Plow at The Old Vic with Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum playing the leads, fantastic stuff. Hmm, I'll have to go and see something again soon.

No one (including me) coming up with any good Libya/Labia jokes.

[Spatial]

People who use words to try and sound clever, without having a clue what it means.

Today I've had two separate people reply to me saying something is under consideration and they will `revert to me soon`

You'll what?! You're going to turn back into me in the near future?

When did revert ever start meaning reply?!

[NW2013]

I've heard that one a few times recently and thought the same. Bull**** business catchphrase.

[merf]

oh god I hate that, its been floating round for years now, 'Ill revert back to you' is an even more irritating version as its a double negative and kind of turns in on itself.

I also hate the use of light industrial terms in offices, workshops are where wood and metal gets formed into cool stuff, not wear a load of suits suck all the air out the room self aggrandising and talking about stuff they don't really understand.

Most mornings, I stagger downstairs in a battered daze. I grab the kettle and fill it under the tap. Then I switch it on. While it boils, I do a few dishes and wipe down the benches, to get the night-time cat paw prints off it. Following this, I open a cupboard and take out a big box of Weetabix. I grab two from the packet inside and carefully place them into a nearby bowl, being careful not to loosen any bits off on the trip from box to bowl.

I congrate myself on having not dropped a single crumb onto my shiny clean bench. Then, I lift the cereal box back into its cupboard. In its place, on my nice shiny clean bench, lie hundreds of little bits of Weetabix. They'd escaped through tiny cracks in the bottom of the box while it rested on the surface. I curse them and get the cloth out again.

Every day I go through this. I never seem to learn. For some reason I'm always surprised to see the mess. Get a grip, lad.

[koopatroopa90]

Sellotape the bottom of the box?

[prinnysquad]

That would work. But I guess it's really not that big a deal to warrant the effort. It's very much a little thing that irks me.

Besides, I like to get the day off to a good whinge.

[koopatroopa90]

Lol. How about putting the box in a plastic bag or something? Less extreme, or buy one of those airtight plastic tubs and empty the box into that? Probably thinking this through too much. I'll stop now!

[randombs]

When I open one of the white packs of Weetabix(inside the box), I put that opened pack inside a little bag and then put it back in the box to keep them fresh as I don't eat Weetabix very often. It also has the added side-effect of catching all the crumbs.

[Adrock]

Keep the white packet out of the original box once its been taken out. Then all you have to do is contend with the white packet. I never have any problems.

I also eat them every day, pretty much.
