A thread to vent all those things that annoy you, big or small! No gripe too petty!!

The person at work who calls me Stefan when my name is Stephen - She genuinely believes that's how it's pronounced despite the fact I've corrected her lord knows how many times

The fact that my spelling and typing skills have gone to gooseberry fool over the past year or so

The spelling of Spider-Man. It has a hyphen, always has, it's not Spiderman!!

My 2 year old netbook being on it's last legs forcing me to buy a new computer at a time I really can't afford it

Yakuza 3 and GoW 3 being out, forcing me to consider buying a PS3 when I can't afford it

Being told by friends I'm annoying for talking about my new girlfriend. I know it's tongue in cheek guys but give me a break!! I was single for 13 years, I'm the happiest I've been in a long long time, let me enjoy it!!

Pushy people at work - I'll bring my Japanese holiday food in when I'm damn good and ready - and for making an issue of it, it'll be on your day off!!

The culture of the celebrity.

I don't care about Jordan or Peter Andre or Peaches Geldoff or Amy Winehouse or any of the other desperate, vacuous, talentless banana splits that our nation seems to obsess over. strawberry float off.

Not sure Amy Winehouse deserves to be in that collection, at least she has talent. Or had it.

I suppose you're right, she certainly can handle her smack

Forgetting what show you were watching because you cba watching the adverts and started flipping channels What makes it worse is that you do this even though you know all the other channels will have gone to an ad break too.

See TCRT.

Goddamn university work. It's utterly relentless. And I don't mean in a "lol, you lazy student" way, i've been working all day every day for months, now including weekends. I'm writing a stupid essay on the security roles of the european union, and it's super-dull, and i'm sure what i've written is utter balls. All this in between working on my dissertation, which is coming together and is due in on the 26th, however i have ANOTHER essay due on the 29th, meaning i have to finish it early to get started on that, and in turn finish THAT to do something due in on the 4th.

I've basically sacrificed my friends and social life to do this, and i've barely seen mrs. trelliz for about a week, despite living in the same house. And i'm terrified that i'm going to cock it up, despite working my ARSE OFF for months. PLUS, my lazy-ass friend has done next to no work until days/hours before the deadlines, and if he comes out with a higher grade than me i'm going to go round his house and kill him.

Staff are being paid to do a job though. There is a huge difference.

Also, what Preezy said.

On Radio 1 the other day they were interviewing Madonna and she was talking about how her daughter (presumably quite young) was getting into fashion and wearing mummy's clothes 'n' gooseberry fool... WHO GIVES A strawberry float?!?!? If it wasn't a celebrity telling the story people would have considered it an insanely mundane story and in no way worthy of being broadcast on radio, but because it was a celebrity... Oh how interesting!!

MCN when he says stuff like this

He used to be alright but this kind of gooseberry fool seems to make up about 75% of his posts now

You know when you need a wank but can't do it because apparently its 'leud' to wank in the work place? That pisses me off no end.
