Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[dickturpin]

When I'm in a shop looking at something on the shelf...you step back to let someone pass on the aisle...and they stop in front of you looking at what you were looking at!!!

[tommyardin]

What gets my goat? People who take things from somewhere and then don't put them back, eg scissors, selotape, tweezers, etc.. People who borrow tools and equipment from you and don't bring them back without you asking for them, but to do that you have to remember who you lent them to months ago. People who cant use roundabouts. People who don't fold over the end of the selotape so you can find the end. People who think is ok to park up at the side of the road, then fling the drivers door open as wide as possible to get out, oh for a landrover with Armco all around it! People who leave the top off the toothpaste. People who put butter in the fridge so its impossible to spread onto bread. Almost all women drivers, absolutely no idea about what is going on around them (sorry, but there you go) . Motorway roadworks with 50mph camera enforced limits with no one working on them.

I've got to stop, I can feel my blood pressure going up.

I hope I don't get reincarnated as you Billy, because I would come back as nearly the same person as I already am.
My kids and wife drive me mad, I purchase all the useful stuff that you mention and keep it in the cupboard in my home office, so I know where it is when I want it and knowing that I have it, no panic.
BUT Who the f--k has taken my sellotape, glue stick, postage stamps, ruler, tape measure, stapler, hole punch, pencil rubber, you can replace any of the former with almost anything else you might happen upon in a home office cupboard. Why Oh Why?  can't people put things back after they borrow them. :'( :grumble

[tommyardin]

Please notice the absence of tweezers  :lol

??This really tickles me because I'm the exact same. But I have hidden all my useful things in my tool box. I have a tray that's got my scissors, sellotape, super glue, batteries etc etc and the family don't have a clue it about it ?

Strange how you change with age. Not too many years ago I would have been hiding porn in places like that. Now I just have a secret craft tray ???

[tommyardin]

Ha ha ha!
I love it Dude it's not just me then that is an old nag bag about tht sort of shit.
The only trouble is with me hiding things away is that I forget where the foc i have hidden them, and the end product is exactly the same as if some one takes them from my cupboard, I don't have them. :'(


I was up at my mate Terry's (Wild Plum) house this afternoon when he got a phone call on his mobile about PPI, he grinned at me and tapped his ear then switches his phone to speakerphone.
I nearly wet myself, man that guy thinks so fast on his feet.
He said to the girl what do you want to know? she said just a few things, do you have a bank account, Terry said yes its a 'Sandyair' or something like that the trouble is I don't have a very good memory. The girls said that's alright Sir I sure I can help, she than asked if he had any other bank accounts like Nat West or Barclay, Terry said sorry what was it you were ringing up about? she reminded him it was about PPi, Oh! yes he said what was it you asked? she said about your bank accounts Sir, also do you get benefits of any kind. Terry said benefits no,  but I think my wife, no my carer does to help look after me. What was it you were ringing up about again my memory is really bad, well I think it is, how can I help you, what do you want said Terry, the girl then asked if she could talk to the carer Terry said no because she is in hospital, Oh I'm really sorry to hear that said the girl, Terry said thank you but it is my fault really because I pushed her down stairs because she kept asking me questions and I got confused and then I get really angry 'CLICK' and she was gone.

I could hardly contain myself at that point I really wished the was such thing as a Tena Man pads with leak proof wings, tears were streaming down my face.
I really wish I could think on my feet like Wild Plum does.

He come out with so many funny things that you wonder what the foc is going on inside his head.

He was the first one i ever heard the Loaf of Bread joke from years ago now, he said to me Hey! Tommy I was shopping with her in doors yesterday in Tesco and I saw a loaf of bread with your name on it, but when I looked again I saw it said Thick Cut.  :eek

OOOOH Billy Boy and I thought I had a problem
BUT this bit

People who take things from somewhere and then don't put them back, eg scissors, selotape, tweezers, etc.

First off what the FOC are you doing with tweezers and secondly the only joy I get in life (apart from riding my Fazer) is NOT putting things back -just so to piss off Mrs Sharp

So how do you get splinters out of your hands and fingers? Snipe/needle nosed pliers will do the job at a push, but tweezers are better.

If not putting stuff back is one of your only pleasures, I hope Mrs Fazersharp doesn't find out, you could end up eating some weird stuff without knowing if she did.

waiting....i dont like waiting  :lol

[ogri48]

When you do loads of research on the net for decent sub £100 good comfy easily and quickly fitted pukka short waterproof boots that actually do keep the water out, and find some called prexport Passos which fit the bill brilliantly but then can't find anyone, anywhere who has them in stock in your size 47, and when you finally do, and you pay for them and order them you wait a week and they don't turn up and your feet are getting cold and wet every day in your leaky old bull sons and then you get an e mail saying actually we havnt got them in stock but will send them when we have in two months time...

Those new sweeping Audi indicators that light from one side of the unit across to the other.
I think they are focin stupid and distraction and harder to see. First off the daylight running lights go off and then this sweeping amber light flashes across. Maybe I would like them if I was 12 years old.

:finger  :lol :lol :lol

[fazersharp]

I was going to put it in your new post but thought it best to keep that for nice things as it was set up to be.
They are stupid though  :b

They're better than the ones that you can't see because a) they're far too small, and b) the foccing blinding DRLs don't dim.
Usually found on the Far Eastern makes for some reason, but I guess they're built to a price  :rolleyes

[Fazer99]

First of all AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Now thats out of my system, what is it with FOCKING Audi drivers thinking that they can pull out as soon as their indicator goes on 'it's not safe to go, SO FOCKING WAIT YOU COCKWOMBLE' just poped out to get some antifog spray as my new pinlock visor hasn't arrived yet and on my way back this Audi wanker flipped his indicator on and at the same time turned into the side of my bike  :2guns :car :grumble no contact made but but it was focking close.

Anything with a smell that does not need to smell.
Air fresheners, NO they don't they just add smell - that's not fresh air, I don't want my air to smell of focing lavender and silkwood, I want it to just smell of air.
Laundry detergents NO I don't want my clothes to smell of summer meadows -- that's what they smelt of before I washed them and that's the reason I washed them.
Washing up liquid NO, I don't want my plates to smell of lemon - that's what they smelt of before I washed them.
Shampoo NO I don't want my hair to smell of focing coconut
