Little Things That Irk You VII: Seething Pains

[eastyy]

To tie in with my smile thread connected to my trip to rome, Wifes phone was stolen the last day and the amount of scammers and pushy sellers really got me annoyed

Cyclists who don't wear any protective gear and insist on weaving left and right in front of you.

Even though I'm in my mid-40s, and after a heavy, long term dose of Roaccutane a decade ago, I *still* get cystic acne. It never ceases to amaze me where it pops up.

Current blob is a Nigel Kennedy special about an inch below my right earlobe. It's only just swelling, it's about the size of a grape and hurts like fook. It'll be ready to pop in, I'd say (being an expert), about five days but I'm gonna have to walk around with this thing attached to my neck for the best part of a week.

It's not as bad as it was ten years back. Wow. It's really weird to think that when I was enthusing on here back in 2007 about PS2 OutRun 2 I had a hideous, acne-swollen visage that made me look like Citizen Toxie and hurt so bad and so constantly it made me wanna die.

I guess this is a drop in the ocean compared to *that*. But it's still a pain in the arse. Neck.

Remembering to bring the Switch to work... only to realise I left the controller at home.


Also, (not that use them) women's public bathrooms. The missus regularly informs me of the state of them and it sounds like something from Hostel half the time.

Mine complains about the ladies' bathrooms, too.

It may have been Boy Meets World but I remember an episode where the boys visit the ladies' bathroom for some reason. It was really nice and had a sofa, too. I held onto that fantasy until very recently. It was like when Monica told Chandler women don't have pillow fights all the time.

Every time it's a tale leaving you wonder how they end up in the state being described if not done intentionally which raises its own questions

It's a not-often-shared bit of knowledge among people like cleaners and female-wing prison wardens that, despite the reputation to the contrary, women's toilets tend to be far more troublesome to keep clean than men's, and that's down to the people who use them.

This is probably in part to how men often use urinals, which are probably simpler devices overall when it comes to plumbing, but that's not the only reason.

[Neon Ignition]

There's definitely a weird psychological angle as well. Too many tales of things... smeared... on the walls and such.

We need mixed bathrooms asap. I’m sure these messy women would ‘clean up’ their acts if sexy guys were hanging around. They’ve been relying on the separation to wreak cosmetic havoc on all manner of surfaces.

Is this the thread where we were talking about if Google is listening to you?

Yep, we know of that. But I’d counter that with: Facebook and Google’s business model.

I don't know, but I remember the group from the seventies and how Lufthansa flights got special treatment at airports due to the security threat.

Found out that over the years Universal Studios Hollywood has progressively removed Back to the Future, ET, Backdraft, Jurassic Park etc




But they still have Water World
