RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Malarkey - 03 Sep 2015
My Dairylea Lunchable was short of 1 Cracker and 1 Slice of Cheese, so I was left with 1 Cracker and 2 Slices of Ham to finish with, never been so disappointed in all my life.

One lad keeps annoying the hell out of me...
The joke was funny to begin with, like worn out joke, like the Andreos and Fencehouses Popular Front joke on here, it is worn out and not really funny anymore.
He is a Sunderland supporter and for nearly 2 months now he takes delight in reminding me that Sunderland beat Darlington in a friendly back in July...He goes on about it like they won the F.A Cup Final...Not being a person who likes confrontation, I can't be arsed with getting back in his face for the fact he is only 15 or 16, it is even more annoying now because:-
1. It was only a friendly
2. Sunderland were utter shite, but despite getting beat 4-2 we were 2-0 up after 17 minutes
3. It would have been a different game if Stevie Thompson didn't miss a penalty at 2-2
He now thinks Fabio Borini is some kind of Demi-God, that statement alone would not out of place on our jokes thread and quite possibly the most deluded thought I have heard since the 2006-07 when a lad I know predicted a League Two Championship winning season scoring 100+ goals in the process and Barry Conlon would score at 40 that season, quite a claim considering Conlons Goals to Games ratio was about 33.9%...
Anyway the lad I am referring to does my napper in...
Oh well, guess I just need to find a way to not be wound up so easily

Tight as a ducks arse in first class tonight. I've been offered one drink in an hour.

Let's play how much chewing gum can I fit in my gob while doing 100mph around every estate in Washington and Birtley and then stopping very sharply when someone asks me to stop and then miss out Wrekenton High Street.
It was a great trip on the 23 today...

A middle-aged woman kicking off with me because I didn't offer her my seat on the Metro this evening.
I didn't actually see her prior to her sitting down next to me to even offer her my seat (head down looking at my phone for the majority of the journey), but that's besides the point...

Wonder if this was the same driver I saw on the 23 yesterday, assuming this is a Gateshead Central Taxis working as I saw a Fiat Bluebird going down Birtley Front Street pretty quickly yesterday afternoon. Guess I made the correct decision to get the JH Coaches working to Washington yesterday.

The Plaxton Primo doesn't look like the type of bus that is designed to go very fast anyway tbh - too bulky. The bluebird on the other hand...

Make use of some of the stunning views then if you're on that section? Especially between Berwick and Waverley

A couple of month ago, a middle-aged woman kicked off with me while standing in the queue at the Co-op in Sunniside. I was accused of queue jumping even though I was stood in front of her. The basis of her accusation was that I was stood looking at the newsrack while in standing in line despite never actually leaving the queue. She started to kick up a fuss, going-on about manners and how I should've acted like a gentleman. I simply explained that I believed in equal opportunities and it was my commitment to equality which prevented me from acting in the chivalrous way she would've liked. It seemed up shut her up.

Haha!
I don't think the middle-aged woman I encountered tonight would have shut her up if I came back with a smart-arse comment. I was far too tired to be able to argue, so I simply shrugged my shoulders. After her extended rant about my lack of manners, she rang a bloke up (presumably her other half) to discuss 'the youth of today'...

Speaking as a middle aged woman who sometimes desperately needs a seat (though not on the Metro, unless I'm having a very bad day) she's going about it all the wrong way. Bloody rude, in fact.

And I agree with you. Lacking a certain appendage doesn't mean I can rightly insist on being given a preferential place in a queue.
What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 04 Sep 2015
The fact that I've had a bad dream pretty much every night this week, before waking up this morning I was reliving my dog getting into the heartbreaking state that resulted in us having to put it down. Normally I don't get bad dreams but I've had one pretty much every night this week and I'm not sure if there is a real reason why, although I have not been sleeping in my own bed this week.

Not more annoying me, but greatly upset me that the fact that my partner has dumped me and I'm now single again.

Ice cream?
Just from the little I've picked up, I get the impression that this relationship has been a source of much anxiety for you. Trust me, no man is worth that much misery. It's time to have a good wallow, then bundle up your self respect and move on.

Yeah you are right, it has caused anxiety for me quite a bit. Takes a while for me to get over things as I can be a bit unstable emotionally.

You're definitely better off single than with someone who doesn't love and respect you and treat you in a way that helps you to feel good about yourself. I think that, when you're feeling fragile, it's easy to convince yourself that having someone else in your life means that you will be taken care of when, unfortunately, that relationship may end up draining your emotional reserves more than filling them.
