minor things that make you fume

Upon entering the conveniences of a drinking establishment there will often be a male stood by the washing facilities.

Whilst you are making use of the toilet said male may display various behaviours such as staring at you, attempting to establish conversation with you or alternatively make humorous exchanges with other convenience users whose behaviours and perception of social norms are affected by the misuse of anabolic–androgenic steroids and excessive recreational use of Benzoylmethylecgonine.

After you have made use of the convenience you may well wish to wash your hands for cleanliness, health reasons or programmed social behaviours. At this moment the male stood by the washing facilities will attempt to pass you soap and a paper towel in exchange for money. For those who simply wish to wash their hands and require no assistance it is a mildly annoying diversion with the potential for social awkwardness.

I remember the first time this happened, years ago in the States, Florida.
My lad who was only about 10 at the time, came back to the table after going to the toilet. He said ‘hey Dad, there’s some fella in the toilet who squirts soap in your hands, then passes you a little towel to dry your hands, and he’s even got loads of aftershaves if you want a spray’
I looked at him and in a polite way kinda said, WTF are you on about. (I didn’t swear but you get my drift)
So a bit later, and by this time I’d forgotten about this yarn my son had told me, I goes the toilet and holy moly it was true.

Mate of mine plans to buy old pallets and turn them into tables. Little effort but plans to sell them for a couple of hundred each.

I don't mind that so much as he'll probably have to use a modicum of effort and carpentry skills. Unless he's just going to screw some wheels on the bottom then he can gtf. I'm not sure about the price tag though..

Yeah he won't be using craftsmanship beyond a hammer and a lick of paint.

We keep expecting to go round his house and have to sit on pallets as he still havent got round to it yet.

Any novel, film or TV programme with the words 'Good Karma' in the title.

For me 'enlightenment' was an Everton home win, 8 pints of Higson's bitter, sausage chips and gravy, and last bus back to Walton from town.

Minds me of Nouveau Cuisine.

"Oh look at that tiny spec of food on my plate. It's tiny and sooooo expensive it must be good"

What really us the issue in making a good tasty meal that is also a meal?

True story. At the height of the Nouveau Cuisine fad, my tit of a brother took me and the missus out, to show off basically, to some fancy place.

There were 4 of us, the veg came out in the daft little dishes, and there were 3 bits of caulie. What was the actual point?
