Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

She's not a bad singer I just don't like it when people assume I want to hear what they're doing.

 

Be grateful she's only singing...

 

Oooh don't worry, I heard that when my room was next to theirs. That's a sound that makes me glad my hearing is not the best now.

 

It is snowing and it isn't in July.

 

Star Trek melee combat.

Just keep bashing the center of that shield, captain.

 

When WF goes down. By now, I should be used to it.

 

My coworkers. Being away from them for almost four days and now I'm dreading going back.

They (some of them) are awful people to begin with, but the Corona virus has brought out the stupid and paranoid in them.

They keep reading the most untrustworthy news (and random shit off Facebook) and believe it over anything that sounds actually plausible.

I was supposed to look for a new job next week, but with everything shutting down... I'm probably stuck here for a good long while

 

For the last few weeks I haven't been able to make a decent cup of coffee, but the annoying aspect of this is that I can't determine what the problem is, only that something is 'not there' taste-wise. It's the same instant I always have, same mug, and I'm not doing anything different in the making. I may have just got a couple of bad batches of the stuff in recent weeks, or maybe Kenco changed their recipe. Or maybe something happened to my sense of taste (although nothing else tastes wrong) but I'm fast approaching the point where I need to try swapping it out for a different brand.

 

It might be an early sign of covid. It seems a lot of patients noted a change in their sense of smell, and/or taste before it developed. Sudden loss of smell or taste is unusual.

I would ring 111 and tell them your coffee tastes funny

 

that's one hairdresser culture that surely is annoying...I tell the person cutting my hair that I enjoy meditating and thinking while getting my hair done, so no talking! But the truth is that I dislike the dumb conversations hairdressers seem doomed to make despite their years of practice. It's a trap! There I said it!

 

Sorry, @flawed personality - not taking the pee there (well I wasn't at least ). If I start showing other symptoms I'll do what needs to be done.

 

Who's Kyle? That's what I want to know.

 

If you're lucky, that would be your only symptom, and you would be classed as a "hidden carrier" .

 

I did consider this but forgot to buy some when I was in the supermarket just now. Not that they'd have had any left anyway.

 

C'mon @Jud, a 'bottled' water?

We all know @Hammer is my hero but here, in this instance, and in most reasonable people's opinion the 'bottled water' is one step behind golf-play or checking investments 24/7 at a widescreen, or eating pre-cooked chicken prepared by the Filipina house slave.

All are behaviours that certainly will not pass muster of neighbourhood Covid watch committees.

By order.

 

There are times, @woolfy, when I don't know how to converse with you. If we were face to face I'd be shaking my head and saying, "What?"

 

oh...[crushed]

weeping.

 

That Greg Rutherford clip:

'And you definitely can keep your ab flaps in supreme conditioning during this...'

...his kids start hopping on the bed behind him:

'Oh children, please don't, my blog will go viral [snort] hah, hah, haw...'

...

I bet he seeded the kids...well...

FAKE

 

Ab flaps? The mind, refusing to boggle, just hides itself beneath the covers and tries to think of happy things like kittens and popcorn ceilings and the smell of freshly poured hot tar and the feeling of a handful of feathers...

 

Don't weep. I see it as my inability to match your wonderfully creative genius.
