    Most irritating part is, it already had a fault which she was going to the Apple Store for anyway, and hopefully they would have replaced it free of charge.
    Now, given its water/piss logged, we'll have to pay for a replacement as the thing wont even startup anymore.
    ultrasonic cleaner, dry, present at Apple Store.

    refuse to accept defective moisture sensors are of any relevance?

      I would do the same but don't have the height or weight advantage to do so.

        People who eat like a cement mixer because they can't close theor mouths. My folks used to tell me off for eating like that and I soon stopped.

        People who sit there grunting! That clearing your throat noise. There was a bloke who worked in the office in Geneva who would do this all the time and really loudly.

        My mum scoffing polos - it sounded like she was eating her own teeth as she snapped them.

        Bobs hocking up flem in the bogs

        People who wander slowly about reading their Kindle, phone or paper.

        Monday 4am starts!

        The fact that stand on the right is only a london thing.

        People who drive in a 30 zone at 25

        People who drive at 15 when its been snowing - even though the road has been cleared and it is clearly just wet.

        People who hog the middle lane on the motorway. Are they scared their car will fall off if they drive closer to the edge?

        Yapping dogs whose owners appear not to notice that its 8am Sunday morning and their stupid frigging little rat is outside making a racket.

        Our dogs ability to find a muddy puddle to roll in!

        Gout

        TV shows where they have say 3 stories and constantly chop and change between them, constantly telling you the same stuff over and over again in the hope that you won't realise that there is actually very little to tell you. That the 30 mins you've sat through could have been done in 5

        That bloke on the one show. I can't stand him

        Britains got talent/x factor/the voice/stricly/z listers on ice and the fact that these shows are on annually - As soon as one finishes its run, another comes along to knacker up the schedule.

        People who abuse disabled parking

        People who buy their stuff and then spend ages coppering up at the till. Get your payment ready while you are waiting. Its not hard!

        American series shows that start off well but that never seem to end!!
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            What was she trying to take a photo of at the time?

              No, apparently it was in her back pocket and fell into the toilet as she dropped her trousers, but she had to finish what she'd started before she could rescue it.

              We had just got back from a night out and she was very drunk too.

                Germany too, and on the buses. I take my time getting off and as they try to get around you, do a little dance in front of them so they can't get by until I'm off. I'll also push them and 'talk' at them and I've noticed that its quite often little old ladies, tough ******* tulip, let me off the bus first and then you'll be able to get on quicker.
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  - people who confuse Tax Avoidance with Tax Evasion
                  - people who say "wiv" instead of "with" (also other works with "th")
                  - people who say "Can I get a ........" when ordering a coffee, burger, etc
                  - short people who think they need to be loud and gobby to make up for their lack of height
                  - cyclists, horse riders, joggers, tractors, learner drivers, bin lorries, pot holes, boy racers
                  - Ryanair
                  - dog mess
                  - slugs, snails, rabbits, deer and anything else that thinks it's OK to eat my allotment vegetables
                  - tasteless, uniform supermarket fruit and veg
                  - my wife

                  Jeez, I'm turning into a grumpy old man. I could keep going with that list - quite therapeutic.

                      Nah. I still have bladder control. I bet it was more to do with the fact that she was, herself, bladdered.
