I hate

No wait, one more: People that don't acknowledge you when you are polite. If you let someone through a tight gap (walking or cycling) or through a door or something, just a smile, even a friendly look if you can't spare the energy for a smile. I'm not letting you pass because you're special and I must defer to you but because I'm trying to be a little bit sociable. A small smile or even a thank you for the seconds of my life that I've given up and will never get back will be fine thanks.

Used to get me but then I learned that judging others by my standard is a path to unhappiness. If I can't fight it I tend to loudly sarcastically say thanks as if they've acknowledged my action.

Norbiton Tesco Express, I was riding along and had stopped where the car is parked in the image below.

Clearly it's a footpath where cars are allowed, but not cyclists, obvs innit.

It looks like Private Land belonging to the shops and the bollards are on the edge of the public highway.

just punched my screen.

This fucking shit:

Some of it it so vague it doesn't really mean anything, is it a translation?

For they are part of what makes him a richly charactered individual.

Dinosaurs aren't what they used to be.

What the fuck did I just read?

Guy who invented Purple Ronnie apparently, I was alerted to it as it was read at someone's wedding. Nauseating.

Do you have to read that at a wedding?

.. my job.
Did I already mention I hate my job?
It's only part time as a working student, it makes good money, but it's just plain stupid.

But my bosses boss is trying to get me a nice job in research, which is where I want to go after I'm done with my degree, so there's that.
5 more months...

Suddenly it doesn't seem so surprising anymore.

God, but actually having it be a reading at your own wedding? What sort of emotional inadequate would do such a thing?

Are these people your friends? o.O

those words in that order are bad! and you should feel bad!

Nothing to do with me! I'm washing my hawns of this whole affair!

It seems this is still a popular reading in Irish weddings http://www.rathkennyparish.ie/component/content/article/248

Lines such as

A silent wife is a gift from the Lord

seem pretty reasonable

?

If I don't bring his slippers, pipe and newspaper there's trouble too <-- yes, joke ;)

He doesn't smoke a pipe.

Does he smoke the reefa?

People who say things like this, overheard in the 2 months premature xmas toys aisle of a supermarket:

" I don't think a hoover is the sort of toy you'd want to give a boy is it, mind you most boys nowadays are f**king queer anyways, they don't make them like they used to"

The letters W, A and C spring to mind.

they don't make them like they used to

I agree with that.

You're much better off with a Miele nowadays.

Badoom-tish!
Wish I'd thought of something like that at the time, however I doubt he would have got the joke and probably wouldn't have appreciated me butting into his "conversation".

What I don't understand is why would anyone give a hoover, toy or otherwise, to anyone else?
