SPAM random annoying things

[old.Tohtori]

Oh for the days when there were no cell phones and people would just have to wait till they caught you next to a land line. Now hustle all the time lol

I still do that, see someone calling and just ignore it and call back some time later when i got the time

It only that people can get hold of you 24/7 if you answer 24/7. Ancient chinese wisdom.

People who moan they are cold in the office so stick the heating on 24 degrees

There's two people at my work who keep changing the AC - one to 30 degrees on the heat setting, the other to 20 degrees on the chill setting. It's fucking infuriating. Also (yeah, poor me etc) I have eczema and when the heating is on especially it makes me itch like a madman, but the constant changing of temperatures is even worse.

one to 30 degrees on the heat setting

Girl

the other to 20 degrees on the chill setting

Boy.

Leave a post it on the controller saying "22 degrees, put a jumper on if you're cold"...

 

[miri]

Both men actually! However the 30 degree putter-oner is decidedly more whiney.

I think it might be time for a passive aggressive note.

Tell them to eat more red meat and stop being such a massive fanny. It's what I did.

Boogie raging as himself? Things are bad

Walked all the way to the train station this morning (15 mins), realised I didn't have my wallet (and my train ticket), so all the way back home and back again. And no-one to blame but myself. Which is annoying.

It's especially annoying when, in the run-up to leaving your house, you're constantly reminding yourself not to forget x. Back then the confidence is high enough that you think "no chance I'm going to forget it this time with all this helpful self-reminding, I'll be a proper muppet if I do". Fast forward 10 minutes to swearing.

I left my flat the other day, forgetting my ID (which I needed to get into a lecture), my keys (Couldn't get back in) and wearing two odd shoes.

That's what happens when you forget to set an alarm

No, that's what happens when you're Gwadien...

Its particularly irritating because I was feeling very smug and organised this morning; I actually walked out the door early (which with a three year old and a toddler is nothing short of a miracle) because I sorted everything out last night before slumping in front of Strike Back, rather than my usual "ah fuck it, I'll do it in the morning".

Random nose bleeds.

I ain't got time to bleed.

Call of Duty Ghosts. I accidentally clicked "new game" instead of "resume game" when I started it and it didn't popup a "this will delete your current progress" dialogue or anything, it just scrubbed my current game and went to start afresh. I escape back out to the main menu and "resume game" is locked. What the actual fuck?

Disagree (quite strongly) with most of what he says apart from the meritocracy of posts.

You need ID to get into a lecture?

You're fucking joking me right? And students wear that???!

Some buildings you have to scan to get into, sometimes they leave the barriers open, but you defo have to scan to get into the library, every time, it's a bit gay.

 

[miri]

Nothing worse than a gay library.

Nothing worse than a gay library.

They seem to employ more staff than the rest of the university combined.

Fuck - all trains at baker street were evacuated sp had to walk to kings cross.

Something about trespassers on the track.

 

[Moriath]

Working in London is just one big stress. Glad I never got the job I was offered there. Reading is bad enough.

 

[rynnor]

Bit freaky at the time - stood on the tube waiting for it to move on then station tannoy starts looping 'Emergency! Evacuate the station' - which we all studiously ignored until the train driver told us to evacuate

Not knowing which particular emergency it was is the worrying bit.

All the more reason to get out ASAFP, you would've thought, instead of standing around ignoring warnings...

You've been in France too long...

It seemed a bit incongruous so people didn't take it as gospel - mistakes happen. It was earlier this year waiting for a train at Paddington railway station that somebody hit the terrorist attack button and it started talking about a bomb threat and evacuation - it stopped a few minutes later - the staff just ignored it - commuters looked a bit concerned but didn't evacuate.

Edit - the best guide is the staff - if they look bored its a bullshit emergency - if they looked freaked get out quick.

You're probably right.

That's because as a johnny foreigner you lack the necessary sang froid. You wait until you can actually see the flames, keep waiting until the first Spanish exchange students catch fire, then walk, not run, to the exits in an orderly fashion, women and children first, and queue at the ticket barrier in the prescribed manner. The authorities will have tea and biscuits and some forms for you to sign before you may return to your home.

 

[old.Tohtori]

women and children first,

That i can relate to as it means yiu send the women/children first to see if there's death outside the door, to save your own arse

To be honest though, Finnish people don't get that panicky either. Probably drink some coffee and comment how the light of the nuclear explosion is a bit bright this time of day.

EDIT: Then again started thinking when was the last time something panic worthy happened in Finland...winter war?

Pretty accurate actually - we all queued peacefully to get through the barriers while texting/phoning people.
