Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 My OH does that too . He also often says "you got a minute?" and expects me to go through to the next room rather than come through to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestchook Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wii fit telling me 'Alison, its been three days since out last session, come back every day for best results' Actually, Mr Snotty Wii fit, I've been on the rowing machine working my doodahs off! It's Wii fit demanding a reason for my increased weight before continuing to point out last time it was a different time of day and weight can vary by 2lbs over a day that gets me. Oh, and a certain department at a certain energy provider, who cannot be contacted directly and think the wording of their letter (via a third party) is fine because it got them the info they wanted... Yes, granted it did, but if the wording is so effective how come I have a still have complaint open FIVE months later. Ironically, had I actually meekly complied with the letter they would not have got the info they wanted! The list goes on... and varies in length depending on my mood.

Cinnamon Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Neighbors who, at 1am, take their boozy conversation with their girlfriends into the garden, which is right under your bedroom window. They are so loud & its so warm that I cannot close my windows......so I am having to lay here listening to them talk about their sex lives, to a background of rubbish mor music. I am sure I can smell 'herbal' cigs too. I would never wish anyone ill, but I hope they all have very sore heads tomorrow when my husband starts the cement mixer to work on the patio.

Cinnamon Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I have loudly slammed the windows shut a few times & they seem to have got the message. However, a monster of a spider came in as I was by the window, making me scream, & now I can't sleep cos it is SOMEWHERE IN THE ROOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I get that sometimes Sarah; people walking drunkenly up my road int he wee hours, and stopping to have a natter/argument on my garden wall. I usually lean out of the window and say that scintillating though the conversation is, I'd rather they take it elsewhere. Thanks ANH, she settled down soon enough, I hope it didn't wake the neighbours; she's quite highly strung and doesn't much like banging noises.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 When did it become the norm for anyone being interviewed on the radio to start each sentence with "So, ...."? I'm finding it really irritating . If you haven't noticed this before, I bet you will now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 How to pronounce Aspergers gets me. Is it Asburgers as I often hear it, or is it Ashburgers or even Aspurgers ? Please tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Having just had ES diagnosed it seems everyone calls it Aspergers with the p not b - the in slang for one who has it is an Aspie. However, the 'professionals' are moving away from even using the term and now tend to refer to it as high functioning Autism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I work in a school for kids on the autistic spectrum - we all say Aspergers. I do hear it said with either a hard or a soft 'g' though. Not sure which is the correct one! I use the soft 'g'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlina Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 This weekend I'm mostly be annoyed by the sofa company advert, which seems to be on every break, telling me the sofas are covered with a '"blend of leather and science" hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many sofas do the general populace need, for goodness sake? And as for the tag line 'No one does a sale life DFS' well, quite frankly I'm not surprised as they've had enough practice! On another subject entirely...I dashed round to the village this morning in the pouring rain for the paper. I met four people I know (at least well enough to say hello etc too) and three of them said 'Morning, wet enough for you'? WHAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfer_chicken Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Delivery companies I had a package delivered on Monday which no one was in for, but the delivery company didn't leave a package slip, and the tracking details just said I was advised to collect from the post office. Well there are quite a few in Glasgow, so I had no idea which one to go to I ended up having to ring customer services (which wasn't free) to find out where my parcel was. The woman was very apologetic that a package slip wasn't left to be fair, but it wasn't her fault. On top of that my new laptop was delivered yesterday. It was dispatched over a week ago and I didn't get any updates or an estimated delivery date until 8am yesterday morning when I got a text saying it would arrive between 9 and 1! Now I'm very lucky that I only need to be in uni 9-11am on Tuesdays , and I didn't want to miss my laptop being delivered and it coming back at a more inconvenient time, so I took the day off and studied at home. It arrived at gone 4:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Gah! A gripe from me today: every morning I walk the dogs (with a friend and their dogs) through the park to get a newspaper, at the same time every morning (sad I know, but that's the routine in the rush to get up, fed, Rosie up, animals sorted etc) recently, the normally peaceful walk has been marred by a newcomer walking two yappy terriers which snarl and lunge at our dogs, the other morning he let one off lead and it went for poor Cyrus, who was terrified. I asked him to put it back on the lead, which he did... but you'd think he'd have enough sense to alter his route if his dogs are like that - the rest of the park is empty, but oooohhhh nooo, he heads straight for me every morning I am having to take evasive action whilst his two horrors lunge at my dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Big irritation for me last week - ROYAL MAIL PARCEL PRICES. I had 2 identical parcels,same size, same weight, one to go to the UK, one to France. The UK one coast £5.20, second class. The French one coast £3.40! So yes, it is cheaper to send stuff overseas than in your own country. This is a seriously messed up system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
