Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

The fact everybody (at least here in the UK) finds it necessary to shop relentlessly because a second national lockdown is in force. And I’m not even talking essential shopping here, this was DIY and garden centres! What the hell is it with lockdowns and going en masse to the shops???

 

Large scale oppositional defiant disorder? Maybe if your duly elected/appointed leaders ordered everyone to spend at least 50 pounds in person at a shop they'd all sit on the sofa with their arms crossed and spend a hundred online instead.

 

I wish they would. All these bastard shoppers making me queue!

 

I sleep in Sweat Pants, but it also gets really cold here, so I found long-handled underwear makes me itchy, so instead I have been wearing sweatpants under my jeans if I am outside. That keeps me warm, but is kind of bulky under jeans.

One really cold day I tried a pair of my wife leggings, just so I could get a triple layer on, and must say, they keep a person warm, and without the bulky feeling of sweatpants. I am tempted to get some leggings and wear that under my jeans in the winter, but am afraid if I cut myself with a chainsaw or something, and had to take a ride in an ambulance, people would think I was funy, so I have not done that yet.

 

It's pretty common these days. Men's leggins that is. In case of a chainsaw accident you'd astound the medic crew with your sense of fashion.

Passive aggressive signs. There’s one in the toilets at my work’s depot that has a series of hand prints and the words “Did you wash them?”

Well if you’re going to take that approach then I’ll answer in the simplest of terms. No, I didn’t wash them.

 

If you think that's bad, you haven't lived. I've seen many such signs, but this one has to take the biscuit:

 

I wouldn’t call that passive aggressive. In fact I’d say it’s refreshingly direct.

 

W

I dare you to write it in...chocolate pudding.

 

Seriously, though, does anyone wash their hands after taking a leak??

 

Many do, but I doubt you would find someone admitting to it.

 

Admitting to washing their hands or admitting to not washing them? I think people are far less likely to admit they don’t wash them, because, well, of course, you’re a disgusting animal if you don’t wash your hands after a visit to the bathroom.

 

It depends on the culture and the image the person is trying to portray.

 

Amazon's policy of tagging a book as a '#1 Best Seller' with an orange background so it stands out, then adds 'in Forensic Medicine' in regular type as a modifier.

 

Pot bellies. There's something wrong with men who look like they're pregnant.

 

That was some primo fat shaming there. Congrats.

 

I think we should be able to recognize the inherent humor in potbellies.

 

I am not sure about humor, but when I got thyroid cancer, my weight shot up, and now I have a gut that I never had before.
Its not a random thought, it is a constant thought: getting old sucks!

 

Vests...what is the point? No...please tell me what is the point? To keep your "core" warm while your arms freeze off? To bulk up your chest so you look tough when all it is, is down feathers?

Here is an idea...put on a thinner jacket that has sleeves, and you will be just as warm, if not warmer. Add a stocking hat if you are really cold. It will do more good then a VEST!

A bullet proof vest...yeah I get that. That has a major purpose without needing sleeves, but normal, every day vests?

 

Tesla have got a deal for you!

 

There's a world of difference between being fat and having a pot belly.

 

Your inner self was telling you something.

 

When you get into a film and then realize at some point that you've seen it before, just from a different country... and theirs was better.

 

I'm wearing one right now, and all I have to say is don't knock it before you try it. A good vest keeps your core warm without encumbering your arms.

Which is kind of the problem. I don't want to be warmer than I already am when I am wearing a vest. That's why I'm wearing the vest.
