šŸ˜  The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life

My mate who is a teacher never does any training on inset days. They do an extra 1/2 hour every week and take the day off. Funnily enough two days always seems to bookend the Glastonbury weekend.

Delivery drivers.

Knocked on my door at 6:35am, just as I was getting in the shower. He got told to fuck off.

Why is it always raining and shit? Itā€™s genuinely beginning to get me down. Since snow in December, its been continuous days of horrible weather. Rain, cloudy, windy, snow, ice, hail. There was one nice day last Thursday and that has genuinely been it. I reckon itā€™s been 5 months of relentlessly shit weather.

Yepā€¦I got my old car out on a sunny day in Februaryā€¦20th Feb to be precise. It was the cars 60th birthday on 3rd April and was hoping to go for a run in it to to celebrateā€¦not a fuckin chanceā€¦still waiting for a clear day.

You arrive back in Europe. You sleep wonderfully. You have a can of beer that tastes like nectar.

You drop straight in to village life watching cyclists go by with the temperature a perfect 23C.

Chicken soup is cooking. .

Then you realise you are going to watch Saints play next Sunday

Why must everything always happen at once?

In the past week:

Weā€™ve had an offer on an house accepted. So all the stress that comes with that. Estate Agents, Solicitors, Mortgage Brokers.

Had to attend an engagement party in Newark, which also involved several cancelled trains, delays and diversions. Granted, it was a lovely day - shudder to think how much is being spent on the wedding(s).

Our boiler has broken, of course the landlord is relying on me trying to solve all this - and being there whenever someone decides to show up - not like I have a job or anything.

And our Airbnb appartment in Barcelona for Primavera has just cancelled. Leaving us with the choice of either spending 3-4 times what we initally planned, or be on the other side of town with no hope of getting to and from the festival.

Heart feels like it is about to burst out of my chest.

I have no idea on what you mean apart from Wednesday was pool night.

The Wifes Bank account has just been hacked luckily no overdraft facility but WTF

That what she told you?

We will find out when the main branch opens in the morning and somebody can tell us exactly where and when the money left the account.

Doing tā€™weekly big shop, getting home and finding the 8 pack of Penguins I purchased only contained 6!

I got more annoyed than I probably should have.

First world problems peopleā€¦

Global warming innit.

And Iā€™d even cleaned the BBQ specially like.

Queue jumpers.

Yes, I know it makes me a petty arsehole, but if I have been queueing 2 hours to get into rough trade with a stinking hangover you have another thing coming if you think I ainā€™t gonna kick off at you.

That anoys the fuck out of me as well especially at airport immigration

ā€œWe were with these people on the plane they are with usā€

ā€œWell go back to where they joined the queue thenā€ is the standard responce

The Americans and Eastern Europeans are the worst at this I can say.

Itā€™s a lovely Saturday so why not take some stuff to the dumpā€¦along with the rest of Cobham

:lou_angry:

Then find out the dump has turned into a Neighbourhood Recycling Center. Whatā€™s that I hear you say? Itā€™s a place where every single item you want to dump has to go into a different skipā€¦fucking eco-mentalists!

:lou_angry:

I still find this annoying at bus stops in London where you just have to run to the door and hope you can squeeze on. Or when there is only a few of you, the one who was there first is likely the last on.

The day before you have to go back for a only a 21 day Betty Ford Clinic this time.

Can you find the stuff you need?

Do you get e-mails from people already there can you just bring me this?

Half the stuff they want is illeagal in ther own countries. (Why can I not spell ill eagle)

The family wants a get together for a sit down meal.

The wife has changed the chief housemaid so none of the others has a clue what to do.

The driver has requested time off and the replacement has never driven to Manila before.

Luckily I have already checked in so its only a bag drop but knowing Duterte he has changed some rule or the other which will mean me hanging around for a couple of hours with no bar.

Oh dear there goes another beautiful relationshipā€¦how did she find out? :lou_wink_2:
