What small and stupid thing has recently gotten your goat?


Mine would be spell checks that never give you the right suggestion for what you want even though you only barely misspelled something.

The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

lesley153 At eleven o'clock last night I sent two picture text messages. One arrived at 5am, the other at 9am - that's six and ten hours to travel seventy miles. Perhaps that's why they're called short messages, and not instant.

People who spam the Chat Boards with 10 or more contributions in a row. Do they want to get the badge or don“t they have anyone to talk to?

Well there is nothing stopping you from joining in. I know a couple of members who are housebound and in wheelchairs and to chat on the boards is an outlet for them and a way of being in the thick of things.

Relatives who ask you to babysit their horrid children at short notice.

Reply #928. Nov 23 11, 1:20 AM

lesley153 Is it any better if they give you plenty of notice?

lesley153 Congrats if you are! but just think how annoyed you'd be if they assumed you were and you weren't.

I hope the pumpkin tasted OK. :p

A mother told her five year-old son that if he swallowed his bubble gum, it would stick in his stomach and swell up like a balloon.

A few days later they were shopping at the mall when the boy saw a pregnant woman. He walked up to her and shook his finger at her and said, "I know what you've been doing!"

Autolycus2 Here's a small but annoying thing... last week there was a brain teaser posted somewhere in the Chat Rooms (I saw the announcement on the "Buzz" page). You were in a room with three doors. One door said "Death by drowning", another said "death by electrocution" another said "death by something else". I posted an answer, but now I can't find that topic ANYWHERE. Does anybody remember it?

Yup! I do. The answer should have been go through door 1 - 'death by electrocution' - because the power was off.

lesley153 Shop-bought pittas.

Perfect world definition of pitta: a flat bread that puffs up when you heat it, so it can be split and filled.

Real world:
1. You split it down one side, fill it, pick it up to eat it, and it's empty. The bottom has split and the filling is all over the plate.
2. It saves you the trouble - it splits down both sides while it's still in the toaster.

It's not just me, is it?

One can only assume that only the US has universities and colleges. Funny, I always thought Oxford was in the UK.
