minor things that make you fume


my mate text me just saying 'hows things mate?'. While I appreciate that he just wants to make sure we stay in touch its just plain lazy, I have to think of something to write as I cant just say 'great, how are u?' so I tell him I went to the Palace game at the weekend, 60 grand and all that, how u doing mate? No answer...and that was 2 days ago! Whats the point in texting e in the first place, if u want to go pub or go play golf then fine, text me but don't waste my go dam time

Why would you be flashed on amber? We're you speeding at the time?

AFAIK it's not illegal to go through the lights on amber.

It is mate, amber is a warning the lights are now changing so you cannot proceed.

Hands up it was my fault, but it was partly because the person in front of me, who I caught up with at the lights, was going just under 20 meaning I wouldn't have been in the catch zone if he was going the speed limit.

Just checked, and it seems you can go through if you've already crossed the white stop line or it's too dangerous to stop. Sounds like you've been unlucky there. Bummer.

Yeah mate, like I said if I didn't slow down because of the old codger in front I wouldn't have been flashed.

Hoping I get offered the course like but depends if it's either 3 years since your last incident or 3 years since you completed the course..

Tbh I always believed passing through on amber was fine (though you run the risk of it changing to red and getting caught), now I know amber is bad too, I'll be changing my ways!
 
In Canada today is "Bell: Let's Talk Day". Bell is a phone network company like BT. My Facebook is covered with people applying their Bell:Let's Talk Day photo filter and #BellLet'sTalkDay hashtags.

A corporate interest has co-opted mental health for a PR campaign and it really annoys me.
 
Me= ' A cup of hot chocolate please'.

Barista= 'Would you like marshmallows on that?

Me= 'No thank you'.

Barista= 'Are you sure it's only 10 pence extra?

Me= ' No thanks, just the hot chocolate please'.

Barista= 'Just the hot chocolate then?

Me= 'Yes please'.

Barista flashes a sarky smile, and heads off into the steam to work his magic.

(6 minutes later)= the drink arrives, and I attempt to pay.

Barista= 'Can I stamp your loyalty card?

Me= 'I'm sorry I don't bother with loyalty cards'.

Barista= ' Are you sure, your 10th cup of coffee will be a freebie'.

Me= 'Honestly no thanks'

Barista=' would you be willing to go on line and detail your experience with us today?

Me= ( rapidly losing the will to live and lying through my teeth) 'Sure'.

Barista explains the process of how I should do this.

I finally sit down with my chocolaty beverage rapidly turning cold, and myself reflecting on a good 15 minutes that I will never get back in my life.:dodgy:
