No; when the forum gets sleepy I’ll park myself in a random thread and ‘jump to page’ whatever number strikes my fancy.

I hear ya. Have been off my head for days with the worst hayfever/sinus cold combination I can remember, that can’t decide what part of me it’s attacking, and all I can do is drink fluids and hit the ibuprofen every so often to reduce the inflammation. Bugger that other snakeoil. I am not a good sick boy humph.

Same with me. Sometimes I’ll just go to page 1, then to page 4, then to page *random number here*.

Anyways, a pet peeve of mine is people who text you, and will not stop. I have a friend who was asking me about going over for her birthday party, and she sent like 10 texts asking me that within not even 5 seconds. Please, if I’m not replying to the texts within a few minutes or so, it means I’m either busy or don’t have my phone on me. This is the reason I came home with 21 unread texts yesterday, and I was going bonkers blue-meanie

I’d imagine all these odd ingredient remedies work but what i’ve found is that warm salty water gargled does the job, especially if backed up with hot honey and lemon (actually honey and lemon, not those artificial concoctions you get that you make up). Its generally agreed that the cold and flu medicines you buy out of chemists are a waste of money.

Pet peeve: When people say say that something is made out of chemicals implies that it is unnatural even though everything is made out of chemicals.

When I’m wearing a coat indoors and somebody asks me if I’m cold – how could I be cold if I’m wearing a coat? 

Also when people use “of” when they should use “have” (“should of” instead of “should have” for an example)

For that first one, I’d probably just be sarcastic and say “No, not at all. I feel like it is 100 degrees, so I’m wearing this extra piece of clothing so it can feel hotter”

I haven’t had much of a problem with people using of instead of have. I get more concerned when people spel leek dis!

Speaking of proper grammar and spelling, I hate it when people use internet language in real life (lol, lmfao, ect). Please talk real words, instead of random letters that look like gibberish. I’ve had to look up more definitions of Internet abbreviations than to real words within the past few months blue-meanie

Listening to a podcast on the Profumo Affair where the two most frequent words are “umm” and “eh”. Can’t go ten seconds without both being heard. Turned it off. Turned to John. a-hard-days-night-john-5

iTunes having more bugs than an entomologist. Trying to merge two albums together results in a 10 minute fight as it either does nothing or just tosses them around so you have to go hunting.

Can’t they roll back to the version from 7 years ago that was basic but actually worked properly?

When you set up a job alert to get notice of any local jobs and they send you everything that exists. According to one site local jobs near me include places such as Milton Kenyes, Bristol and Cardiff. That’s one heck of a commute.

If the Cardiff job looks good, you could move there and hang out sometimes with Joe, Ellie, and the kids.

Someone has managed to add to the ‘taking far too long at a cash line/ATM’ art of annoyance by immediately afterwards standing having a chat with the person behind them even tho the individual waiting obviously wanted to get a move on.

I don’t queue in the freezing cold to witness such behaviour.

People that shout out in class either when the teacher is choosing a person to answer the question or while the teachers explaining something. Today in math applications, this kid kept interrupting the teacher, even though she firmly told them to be quiet. Same thing happens in English class, and then the kid asks stupid questions and the teacher starts threatening them with lunch detentions. Seriously, shut up before I go crazy

Oh wait, too late! blue-meanie
