That it's almost impossible to find indigestion tablets that aren't strawberry floating Mint flavoured.

People who sit through a film at a cinema by looking at their giant, bright phone screens. Absolute tossers :toot: .

That's because peppermint is great for settling the stomach.

You can get Tums or supermarket brand antacids in fruit flavours.

I got some orange flavoured Rennie once that were great for indigestion but I've never seen them since.

What is indigestion like? I've never experienced it. Can't imagine having to buy things like that on a regular basis.

You can normally get children to take medication by crushing it up and mixing it in with something like a yogurt or milkshake

Phones. More specifically phones at work. We are short staffed today and I am constantly answering other peoples damn phones.

Why can’t people just use email? strawberry float off with the strawberry floating phone calls!

Not really, there’s hardly anybody else around to do it and we have to answer the phones if they ring.

I hate answering my work phone, I've normally got the ringer on silent.

I dont have a phone at my desk, its wonderful. In previous jobs its always been a wrong number when the phone has rang so unless someone IMs to say theyll call me I would just ignore it.

We have clients, other companies and members calling all the time so not answering isn’t an option.

I am tempted to go outside and cut the phone lines though.

I literally just answered a call at work and the conversation was so one sided it may as well have been an email. It really annoys me when I’m in the middle of something, as I have to answer the phone if it rings, but I’m just a cranky old bastard so I should probably work on that.

I hate when people contact me on Skype at work as we use it as an internal messenger, then as soon as I respond they say "call?"

No, strawberry float off. Just strawberry floating type it.

We have an internal instant messaging service but I never use it. My profile is set to “appear away” and I ignore any messages that come through on it. Email me or strawberry float off. :lol:

I was once working with an external auditor and he was showing me a file on his laptop when an instant communicator message flashed up in the middle of his screen

“How’s it going big dick?”

I basically funnel everything in my business towards email but provide other "options". But it's not actually email, it's a helpdesk solution that digests and sends out emails. Sometimes go to messenger or WhatsApp or even text if people don't answer, but I really should ring prospects if I should get any sales. :fp:
