Things that make you go... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! Mk. II

[Lady Ava]

Being ignored.
I am aware that I am not the tallest, nor the loudest person in the world, but neither of those are excuse to just not listen to me.

[Capt. Dirigible]

So I'm going to have to get a bus all the way home tonight and to and from work tomorrow and probably Wednesday morning (as it will be cheaper at £2.20 each journey rather than £6.20 if I incorporate the Tube as well) but it  is going to take me over an hour each way for what is usually a 35 min commute

The best laid plans of mice and steampunks...
I get out of work at 6.00pm. I go across to the station just as my bus approaches. I get on and proffer a £5 note and 20p in change and ask for  a £2.20 fare. Driver informs me I have to get my ticket before I board at the machine by the bus stop. I get off to go to the machine..driver closes doors and f*cks off! Bastard!
Machine  will only take exact  fare. I have a fiver. I go to every consession and food outlet outside Euston and no one will break a fiver unless I buy something and I don't want to buy something as I need every penny til I get paid.,
So I end up back on the tube. Two stops Euston to Highbury...£4
I get off at Highbury and wait for my bus which turns up after about 15 minutes. I use my last £2.20 to get home and get in at 7.15pm
It's cost me £12.40 to get to and from work!

Half term in a major public attraction. Actually its not so much "GAH!" as "whimper".

Always visit the zoo in term time. I go to see the animals not the misbehaving 'little monkeys'.

I work there. I can't avoid it!

So, I went to the animal shelter earlier. It was absolutely packed because today was a holiday called 'Family Day', so of course, everyone was there trying to adopt an animal.

There was a puppy there who no one was looking at, so I went in and tried to play with him. The little bastard bit me. Now I've got a nasty bite that I brushed off earlier as nothing because it didn't hurt much, but now that I look at it, it's looking pretty gross. And of course, now that I've looked at it, it's starting to hurt.

I had a dog once when I was a kid. German Sheppard Collie cross. She had loooooots of energy, but she never bit me. She played rough once in a while, but never bit me. So needless to say, I wasn't expecting that.

That puppy was freakin' cute, but... argh. Now I'm trying to clean it so it doesn't get infected, and it hurts like a bitch. Gaaaah.

Oh-ho, you got me there. If you hear howling twenty six days from now, trade all brass for silver IMMEDIATELY.

..probably why no one was playing with him!

My truck was broken into last night & I can't find the recipt for the stereo/GPS we had installed that was stolen.

I hope they catch them and send them to the gallows.

Spending all day turning my room upside down to find car papers only to find out that they're at my parents. What a waste of time!

Fifteen page research papers where one needs medical journals, opinions, and scientific views.

[SteamBlast Mary]

Coming out of an 8-year relationship and finding your favourite forum littered with my own smug (smug-sounding, now) references to the "Significant Other", the "other half" and the in-jokes between folk who know us both.

Realising that what they told you in school is true; I WILL die alone and cold and people will discover my cat-eaten body only after 3 weeks, when the place starts to smell too much to go uninvestigated. (however, I have a few years of cackling-mad-drunk-auntie to go yet, so that's not too big a worry).

Realising that I'm probably never going to get laid again.

[The Governess]

None of your last 2 paras are true, Madame. I know for a fact you're allergic to cats and therefore unlikely to have any in the house to eat you. And as for the rest...

[Damien Frey]

Realising that I'm probably never going to get laid again.

I know that feeling! People keep telling me the same old stuff about there being plenty more fish and wotnot and that I just haven't met the right girl yet. Actually that's coming from all of my friends who are in relationships so who knows, maybe there's something in it? 

[Ezra Hogbin]

Discovering my chimney is on fire!!

Well, that was last night. Managed ot put it out without any damage, but 'twas a scary moment.

>Shocked and stunned<

What can I say, except I'm really sorry to hear this? I do hope it wasn't an acrimonious parting.

Realising that I'm probably never going to get laid again.

I had several witty rejoinders to this, but none of them sounded quite right when I read them back, so I'll just limit myself to - Nonsense!

[Lady Ava]

My Mother.

She knows EXACTLY what to say to wind me up, and does so whenever I am even vaguely in any sort of disagreement with her. She also does this to show off infront of people, like shouting at me and punishing me for burning halkf a dozen chips when master seabear was over for the weekend. I swear that she is genuinely just out to ruin all the things I put so much hard work into, then she wonders why I can't get to University quick enough.
I attempt to compromise with her, constantly, because I know that she needs me as she has noone else.
 
I know it sounds awful, but I think I am starting to understand why I am the only person in her life here by choice. 

[bicyclebuilder]

Mother-in-law doesn't want to know what our baby will be (boy or girl).
She says we don't respect her wish to be surprised at birth. My wife and I, really want to know what's coming and intend to tell everyone, as soon as we know it. We did respect mother-in-law's wish with the last pregnancy, but we also did tell everyone else. It was unconvenient during purchases and birthdays. We couldn't tell or show M-I-L anything gender specific. Also we couldn't unpack curtain birthday presents, because they would reveil the feutuses gender. Not very respectfull towards the present giver, but we said we shouldn't tell her. Also everyone who knew what the gender was going to be, had to keep it a secret to M-I-L.
This time it's tough luck for M-I-L, because we are going to tell her, weather she likes it or not. No more secrets, it's our parogative to tell or not. And the date of birth is still a surprise. Same goes for how he/she looks. Funny thing, the 3d echo picture was plesantly accepted by my mother-in-law, with the last pregnancy. That picture was stunningly simular to our little girl when she was born.

[Damien Frey]

Just a couple of whiney ones from me for today. I spilt hot water on my sock when I was making a cup of tea. Wouldn't have minded but I was wearing it at the time...

Even worse than spilling tea though: Realising that I probably won't make it to the asylum as work is still rubbishly underpaid and even if I do get a full time job in time then the tickets will have more than likely sold out. Boo, hiss etc.

Bb, it's your baby so it should follow that it's your choice, in my opinion anyway.

I've been trying for 2 days to get my sewing machine to work, it's something to do with the tensioning.  I've cleaned it, re-threaded it, checked the bobbin tension, adjusted the upper tension, changed needles twice, tried different stitch sizes, in fact everything I can think of more than once.  I'm beginning to think it's going to have to go for repair and I've only had it just over a week! 

[Lady Ava]

Trying to find somewhere in Nottingham to live whilst I am studying. I can't get in any halls of Residence, because I am studying a part-time Higher Education course at a college, and they have nowhere to put me.
Looked online, and there are so few house-shares and things also. They are all £100+ a week too, and I could rent somewhere on my own for that.

CALLING ALL NOTTINGHAM STEAMPUNKS! 

[Aleister Crow]

Static mother*-ing electricity. I can't tough anything without a massive lighting bolt jumping out and hitting me.

Cant wait until we get back to weather with some humidity to it. And no more bloody snow! It was amusing enough when everyone had their white christmas. Two months later it's just irritating. Stop it!
