    No fruit with your cereal in the morning ?

    Cereal is for health freaks and weirdos.
    I even turn my nose up at the fried tomato along side a full English.

    Orange juice is however acceptable according to amendment 4 paragraph 2.

    Gotcha. Based on your food choices above i guess it's a couple of bangers, some fried bread and a few slabs of black pudding for your breakfast at the local greasy spoon :) ?

    That would be my preference.

    Normally it's a cup of coffee when I get to work though.

    You're wrong, or at least being too generalistic.

    I’d add to this, Halloween is bad enough. It used to be one evening of terrorising the elderly, now it seems to last for weeks. One of my own friends who has no kids and is 30+ went and picked a pumpkin with his girlfriend and carved it LAST weekend for god sake.

    But that’s not what even annoys me the most, on the subject of fancy dress, social media is always full of posts along the lines of ‘best Halloween costume ever’ yet the costume in question has nothing to do with Halloween.

    I saw one earlier on Instagram which was somebody dressed as Jamie Vardys wife’s Instagram?

    So now Halloween not only goes on forever, the costumes also have absolutely nothing to do with Halloween anymore?

    As soon as the clock hits midnight on Thursday, Christmas begins. Expect to hear Slade, Wizzard etc. from Friday morning until January every time you leave the house. When you are in the house the TV will bombard you round the clock with vomit inducing Christmas adverts from every shop that can afford to screen a faux-sentimental 30 second promotion to get you to spend what you don't have on their tat.

    WillisWasTheWorst Its making less grammar mistake's thats important

    Why do we put up with this nonsense? Because some people not only like it but revel in the interminable build-up. It would be instructive to learn what proportion of the population fall into this category.
    In other news: our town has had Christmas decorations up since early October and, two years ago, I emailed the Council to ask why the decorations were still there on March 1st.

    Floated the idea of not bothering with a tree this year, you know because we’re both nearly 30, don’t have kids, the only place it can really go without physically getting in my way is in eye line of the telly and it’s yet another thing in the house that the dog will either chew or stash half eaten treats behind.

    The look of horror on her face....

    I get the same reaction when I reject the annual proposal to update our 25 year old xmas tree which is still in relatively good nick.
    Apparently the fact that it was bought by my previous wife and enjoyed by her and her/my children is somehow an issue ...????

    The M&S near our office in London has already jumped the gun on this, literally overnight an Xmas display has appeared spanning the full length of the shop front.

    I can fully get behind all things xmas from 1st December. It’s like the Friday equivalent of months, once we get into December I personally feel like it’s better to embrace it rather than fight it. But anything Xmas related even a day before December will be completely ignored and wasted on me. October/November are not Xmas and have absolutely nothing to do with it.

    I've been talking to a recruiter about a job for the last few weeks. Sometimes we talk 3/4 times a day. Every single time she calls me she says, 'Hi, How are you?'. Sometimes we'll have been on the phone, literally 3 minutes before she called me back. I find it irrationally annoying.

    My phones autocorrect is surely on the blink. I get typos come through like thimking and it thimks "yeah, why not?".

    I did once 'hear' of a disgruntled IT employee who, before leaving, took a screenshot of everyone's PC screen, deleted all the icons and replaces the PCs wallpapers with said screen shot - it was rumoured to take the IT dept. the best part of a day to solve this conundrum... Another one I found funny was a person who was said to add an "auto-correct" of "the" to "the f*cking" to Word...

    I used to work in Oxford and added "Oxford" to autocorrect in word to "Swindon". Caused chaos until I came in the next day to "I dont know what you did, but fix it".

    People too ******* lazy to spend 30 seconds to park their car considerately so as not to inconvenience others mainly because they'll "just be a minute"

    96.5 my best. Wondering if the app is taking into account the speed of the draw and the thickness of the line? It could also be done easier on a small phone screen or landscape flip screen fit.

    The automatic volume adjustment on TV when the ads come on - the volume goes up by 100 decibels so you can hear the bloody adverts when ur out of the room.

    I had this weird experience with a recruiter - he called me up and spent 30 minutes or more asking me about my experience, expectations or whatever, and then talked about 2 roles which matched that he was going to send through - he didn't. Nothing particularly unusual about that. Recruiters are generally the bottom of the barrel in terms of brains, integrity or organisation, so I didn't bat an eyelid, but then he calls me up 2 weeks later and renews the whole process again, because he has something else in mind based on our previous conversation and my profile makes me a perfect match.

    Again - following the call, nothing happens. I message him on LinkedIn and he just replies - sorry, we don't have anything in your salary bracket on our books right now.

    I expect he'll call again in a couple of days.
