Can we please put in Room 101 everyone who has annoyed me so far today.
1: Teenage girls who throw sickies to dog school (although as I've already suggested 'teenage girls' generally, that may already be covered.) 2: Teenage girls who not only expect me to be their human alarm clock, but also the fecking Speaking Clock. 3: People who get on the bus before you, even though you were at hte bus stop before them. If there's not enough of you to form a proper queue, then it's imperative you keep a clear mental note of the bus stop arrival order and replicate that order in getting on the bus. 4: Drongo Jobsworth bus drivers who won't just open the doors and let you off, even though the bus is stuck behind a double-parked fish van with no driver. 5: Passive, weak bus passengers who refuse to join in and support the one brave passenger who is pointing out to the bus driver his idiocy. 6: Lovers that always want to take you to lunch when you'd rather skip a couple of lunches and have a handbag instead. 7: Members of the public who are so self-important that, when they want to engage with an organisation, they e-mail the CEO directly, thus causing consternation and a breach of heirarchical management structures. 8: Junkies who stand around street corners waiting for their fix. 9: Colleagues who haven't done their budgets and don't plan to, when you've done all yours like a goody two-shoes. 10: Little girls barely out their teens employed in the Finance Department who don't show proper respect to their elders and betters.
It's only ten o'clock. The list may lengthen shortly. Especially if nobody offers to make me another coffee soon.

Does Riotgrrl have someone who makes coffee for her? We sort-of take it in turns, but I go in a bad mood when it's my turn because I'm the only woman in the team, and I think it's sexist when I have to make the coffee. (Well, obviously I don't logically, but I say I do, and the men I work with are sufficiently scared of me to take it.) But it's my turn now . . . Plus, today, unlike me, I have been scoffing the biscuits. I think it's wrong that our work provides biscuits for all the retired cops who work here, but won't provide fresh fruit for me & The Admin lady. That's probably sexist too. Mmm . . . grumpy, scoffing biscuits . . . .where's SWL to come up with a hormone-related theory?

So, will it be a mini-Riot or just a little disturbance?

Being pregnant doesn't make you grumpy or biscuit-eating.
Jeezus but. Imagine. I can't think of a worst nightmare than getting myself knocked up at this age and stage.

Men who wear hats while driving Poseurs who wear sunglasses indoors. People who insist that you have to take a drink Over-sensitive MB posters Brandon/IMGR8/Iron Naz or whatever he is this week Cheapjack Women who wear exceedingly low cut tops or very tight t-shirts then complain if you notice. Politicians Idiots who think a bone-crushing handshake is manly. People who finish your sentences. Catholics. Weegies SWL You were doing so well then you said this ; Idiots who think a bone-crushing handshake is manly. No ! My version ; Idiots who shake hands with such a pathetic , wet , repulsive action that makes you want to gag or even go home and shower - so sullied and bespoiled do you feel .

Adults who read Harry Potter books in public...I mean FFS, if you are going to read a childrens book, at least have the decency to read furtively and in secret. Christ, you wouldn't catch me sitting on public transport flicking through my Mr Men books...I have standards. AH Thats a bit rich -coming from a Starwars obsessional .

Let's put ''grumpy'' in there too. It's a bit wishy washy as an emotion.

And leads to biscuit eating that we only regret later.

Oh I agree about that, it makes my skin crawl. But there are some real twats who think a handshake is a challenge. What pisses me off is there's no warning. You offer up a normal, firm handshake and get a vice in return. Of course, being a bloke you can't show any reaction or make any comment so you're left inwardly seething. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago and I really had to resist the urge to nut him. It was purely instinctive and I so-oo nearly did.

Put Kleenex tissues in Room 101 please. I KNOW I checked that there were no tissues in the pockets of my jeans when I shoved them in the washing machine this morning along with a dark brown jumper and 50,000 pairs of black socks. I had to stand in my garden (and I just know everyone was looking out of their windows) and pick bits of white soggy tissue off just about everything before I hung it on the line. Why does it never happen in the light-coloured wash?

Why does it never happen in the light-coloured wash? I blame the supermarkets. Pay attention next time your in Boots or your local comestible superstore and you'll see what I mean - Anything you like as long as it's Kleenexe! Talk about lack of choice! I have to go to Wilkinsons and ask to go down to the cellare where they hide their stach of soft - non falley to bitsey Tempo Tissues! ..............and you can only buy the Vicks flavoured ones if you go to the chemist attached to my Doctors! Crisps are the same! You know why Golden Wonder went out of business? Walkers - saying to supermarkets "Stock our crisps or we walk! - Stock anyone elses next to it - and we walk!" Both Golden Wonder and Smiths and KP were far superior to Walkers - but they bullied their way to Monopolydom! Where wa the monopolies and mergers and OFT then!? That's what I want to know! Oooh! I'm not well today and that's taken it right out of me!

Yeah but no but...have you tried Walkers new flavours? Builder's Breakfast, Chocolate and Chilli and Onion Bahji. I tried the latter today. A bit yum. Better than eating Vick's flavoured tissues.

Only ones I've seen are "Red Sky" and "Blue Sky" - They all taste like prawn cocktail half the time anyway! ..........and don't talk with yer mouth full!
