Things that give you the sh1ts

Twitter. I hate it but others in my field are currently using it to publish all the clever things they think of so I have reluctantly jumped on the bandwagon. I might like it a bit better one day but at the moment it seems a royal waste of time.

Oh God, YES, YES, YES. I hear you sister and I feel your pain.

FFS is it necessary to tell the world about every waking minute of your life by plastering it all over the public domain? "Just woke up". "Having Coco Pops for breakfast. Crunchy!" "Oh no, little Kaitlyn just woke up, she wet the bed overnight again." "Sitting on the can passing rusty water from my @rse. I'm not having curry for dinner again LOL".

Wake up twitterati: NOBODY CARES about the minutiae of your mundane existence. All you are doing is lowering the already-tiny signal-to-noise ratio of the internet by a few more pegs. Kid yourself that your existence is newsworthy, but behind this self-delusion is the cold, hard fact that NOBODY CARES.

Frankly I'd be very concerned if anyone did care about what I had for breakfast, where I was going for coffee, and what I thought of the refugee situation. The concept of anyone hanging off my every word is just plain sinister - and another good reason to avoid twitter like the pus-bloated corpse of a plague-stricken rat.

I would extend similar thoughts towards all other so-called "social networking" sites, with a special hatred of facebook. Social networks? Bah. Call me, email me, or GTFO.

you could almost be my husband Pseudo - although he'd extend your thoughts to forums as well

All true, except twitter could come in handy for blokes who can't wait to tell their mates when they score ...

It will consume everyone until some other "social networking" phenomenon outdoes it.

starting to play an easy 9 at Regency, hitting 2 par's and a bogey on the first three then getting a blood nose and having to go home. it started at 12:20 and is still going now at almost 1:05...

[Booney]

Not being able to get to sleep on a Sunday night. Feeling like trash right now.

Have you had it quarterised NG? That sorted me out, the doc just sticks a magnesium thingy up the snoz, bit of a sting and sore for a couple of days but that's it. Now if I get a blood nose it only lasts a minute or so, no more hunching over the sink for an hour.

The washing machine - keeps beeping at me every few minutes to let me know it's finished. I know it's finished, I just can't be bothered getting up yet.

When my washing machines beeps at me I tell her to concentrate on the cooking for a change then.

and at you too Booney!

My washing machine is beeping as I type...lol !!

Reminds me of a story

My friend had a really crappy old washing machine that used to leak oil, etc, etc - she went and bought a new one like mine that beeps when it's finished - I was there one day and it beeped and she yelled "Coming my darling" and I'm like when mine does that I say "Shut up!!"

Ive heard a rumour about women and washing machines that could explain that reaction

[A Mum]

When will I learn to watch what I say around here !

[fisho mcspaz]

Yeah, I guess this washing machine beats our old one - it used to leave black marks on clothes from time to time. It was strange, though, it seemed to put the black marks on according to whose clothes they were, not what material they were made of!

I'd leave it beeping until my partner gets home from work but he's finishing late and I don't want the washing to grow mould. Going to go and hang it up now. I wish I was little again because my parents told me that household chores were fun and I believed them.
