”Is that your natural haircolour?” ”Did you dye your hair?” ”You hair is so beautiful, how often do you dye it?” ”Which dye do you use for your hair?” ”What’s your real hair colour?”

I’m a natural blonde ffs. It gets real funny when I try to explain I was born with bright orange hair though. Their little brains just can’t seem to fathom that.

Back on the subject of handwriting: Mine is awful. It’s readable and small, but that’s pretty much it. I always use the excuse of being a lefty.

My handwriting varies from being incredibly neat to a scrawling mess, depends on the situation. At times I write almost illegibly just to annoy folk if they’ve moaned before about it.

I tendtojoinmywordstogether………..I can read it!

Other’s say, ‘it looks like barbed-wire strung out over the Somme battlefield……………..’The ink blots didn’t help.

Had it analysed once…….Apparently your handwriting can give pointers to your personality. Three of us did it anonymously. It was actually very close to the mark.  Got my strengths, my weaknesses and even my profession right.

I have a naturally blond friend that has darker eyebrows so she gets that question a lot and can relate.

Same here. Actually, that statement also neatly represents my general state of organisation, or lack thereof.

I’m the same way. If I take my time and be reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllyyyyy slow at writing, it’ll be neat. Normally, it’s large and messy. Mine even varies by my mood, strangely enough. I’ll write really small when I get uncomfortable for some odd reason. I don’t know, it’s really strange.

I know quite a few people who end up in similar situations. I mean, I would relate, but I’ve always had dark hair (which is literally impossible to dye anyways) so, yeah….a-hard-days-night-paul-7

I do this too! Or sometimes when I’m writing something I don’t really want to be doing I’ll do it with my non-dominant hand. I always sign my name that way. It’s still legible, but it looks like a little kid wrote it.

 

One of my pet peeves is when someone wants me to stop doing something that’s bothering them, but instead of asking me to stop, they just glare. I don’t respond to rudeness, so if someone’s glaring at me I’m going to continue doing what I’m doing.

I absolutely hate it when people glare at you in general. It makes me feel really creeped out

 

Pet peeve of mine: when my computer decides to have a seizure in the middle of typing anything (from essays to these forum posts) and turn on caps locks after every. Single. Word. Example:

*types word*

*caps lock turns on*

*turns off caps locks and types a single letter*

*computer goes back to caps lock*

*repeats for a while*

One of the posts above reminded me of a peeve I have……..

 

When you say something to someone…….And you know they’ve heard you but they look at you and say, ‘Pardon?’ 

This is just lazy, or it’s a habit, or it buys them time to digest what they’ve heard and already understood….. but forces you into an unnecessary repetition. 

I usually won’t repeat myself and pause…….If they haven’t actually heard then they will ask me again and I’ll repeat what I said….. but generally they can answer perfectly.

Usually that’s code for something else entirely as in “I’m going to start an argument where I’m right already, and if you continue, you acknowledge that you’re already wrong so you can just stop now and save me having to remind you how right I am”. a-hard-days-night-paul-10 I hate those.

I hate running out of milk for my cheerful beverage. I can foresee when I’ll run out, but I still do.

Yapping / barking / whatever dogs.

Had one out the back at the old place – now I have them on either side.

I have no problem with dogs barking now and again – but 3 hours straight is just insane.

Sometimes I crashed in a mates flat where you could hear the folk next door talk as the walls were paper thin, was even worse when he blasted out music all thru the night at times, there were many sleepless nights.

Its very highly likely* he was into his drugs. Was delighted when my mate moved out of there. A horrible place.
