    People commenting on my food at work. "Ooh that looks healthy!" - piss off, leave me alone you intrusive winker.

    Smug mothers who don't work full time. Nuff said.

    They way the milk tab ALWAYS breaks on me, therefore causing me to have to gnaw at the seal with my teeth/stab it with scissors.

    That ridiculously strong plastic that razors/headphones etc are sealed in, that breaks scissors and hurts your hands.
    actually my pt job is at a uni in the phil dept and i would be grateful for some small talk instead of ppl trying to show how clever they are!

    commenting on other people's food or WEIGHT!!! should be a punishable offence. i'm a size 14 and okay i wish i was smaller but this skinny (and more importantly ugly) woman in my course always says 'o you've lost weight' - i wish i was quick enough to say something like 'i have and it looks like it's found you, those yoga pants are looking tight around your boney arse'

      What is so clever about a whole dept for research into people called "Phil"?
      Although I imagine our moneygrabbing Greek one might command a sizeable percentage of the available resources all by himself.


      As for the other stuff, I prefer birds with a little "padding" anyway. Birds that are too skinny often have other "issues".

        Say it next time, bet she doesn't bother you again!

        Bit like the odd woman in this office, who barely knows me, but approached me yesterday with "oh, you've had your hair cut! It looks lovely." - I thanked her, but said no, I haven't actually had my hair cut. Her baffling response was "You have!" - Oh OK - you must know better than me.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          People who misuse the word CRUTCH instead of CROTCH.

            The classic example of this is when you get scissors packaged this way.

                What car do you have then?
