The grumpy thread

Long life milk .. Leave it in the box and no one uses it because its differant ....... Put it in a milk bottle and it just gets used ...?

[vulgalour]

The unseasonal weather must have affected some folk.  The van wandering into my lane while I'm in the space it's wandering into is fairly expected.  The Mini undertaking me on the approach to the next roundabout and then hurtling off at ???mph, not so much.  Why are some people like this?  Urgh.

Was it a cooper S with an oversized intercooler?

Bollox. MOT test on the Holden had to be abandoned half way through! More repairs needed!

[wuvvum]

That doesn't sound good.

Oops never had a test abandoned- not safe to continue?

Did a school governor training session last night, only male with 9 women, six of whom had their water bottles that they kept sipping from.  Why do they do it ?  Is it mass indoctrination that doesn't work much on males?

 

Not women specifically.  It's everyone that believed the 'two litres of water a day' bollocks a few years ago.  The fact that it's a complete myth is another rant all in and of itself.  If I drink two litres of water a day, I piss like Seabiscuit.

 

The fact that the original guideline said 'total intake' of two litres a day (including food - which is a significant contributor) and that bit was conveniently ignored by companies that sell bottled water says a lot more about marketing success than anything else...

[sierraman]

Everyone at my work does this, constantly drinking litre after litre of water from one of those sports bottles. Some of them must go through 2 gallons in a day. Making that irritating noise when it back washes.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

It's the bottles that have motivating messages on the side to encourage more drinking that really, really boil my blood.

Arrrh shoite…….. that sounds ominous. I take it fluids or gasses are coming out where they shouldn't be…….. or of course you own the extra-legera ventilated everywhere version….. which is a win in my book

Stepdad had his appointment at the Christie yesterday and was told treatment isn’t a goer, he said he’s been given weeks/months at best. FFS he’s such a decent man, was good to mum and my sisters too. Just an all round good egg, I’d really started to build a relationship with him too.

 

WFH today as can’t be arsed with stuff.

I wish him all the best and hope that he can prove them wrong and have a bit of quality life. As Chadders said it's not always an exact science, my one grandmother beat the odds, having been told to make the most of the next few months she lived for another ten years, including beating a subsequent stroke. She was too stubborn to die.

I have done something to my back.  Not sure exactly what, but it hurts like feck every time I breathe in, which is rapidly becoming tiresome.

Every single one of these should have their hands melted together to stop them ever driving again, what a bunch of cunts !!!

This place... people are even annoyed at others drinking water.

 

 

If you've ever had been in a room with ten other people noisily and pointlessly chugging it down and leaving their hugely expensive designer bottles in the way...

/\Just stick some earpods or whatever in and listen to some soothing waterfall music.

That's shit news, sorry to hear

[Sheefag]

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Right.

 

I give a shit because I have to regularly go around sorting the bloody things because people tend to leave them behind in my department and never pick them back up and there's nowhere good to store them in the meantime.

 

We have 30+ people walk in and out of rooms at a time several times a day, leaving them behind for the next group of people to do the same.

 

I have to walk through crowds of people quite often and the things get left on the floor, leaving me tripping over them.  It is dead tight on space and frequently people leave mess everywhere.

 

Drinking water is not a pointless exercise, it's just that drinking two litres of the stuff a day is a complete myth that's been manipulated by bottled water companies (let's not forget that they sell product with an order-of-magnitude markup) and these bottle manufacturers because people will believe whatever they read on the side of a bus.

[Sheefag]

[GrumpiusMaximus]

On the scale of grumps, it's not really a grump.  It's just that I hate the fucking things with a burning, fiery passion.

 

I also hate quackery.

[Sheefag]

It's the Geese you need to look out for, even bigger killers than expensive water bottles. Look at this bastard, they are not your friends.

 

[GrumpiusMaximus]

A goose with a designer water bottle is a right bastard.

[Sheefag]

Can't see the carpet for water bottles in my office. Bastards.
