A Blog of Lists
Things my mother does that get under my skin:
- Lets the cat(s) out after I've gotten them in and then I have to stay awake until I can get him/them in again
- Smoking. I hate it. She's spending a fortune on these pills but still bums a smoke at work. Now she's smoking at home again and it's such a selfish and disgusting habit.
- Falls asleep on the couch, snores like a gutted pig and then gets shitty when I try to get her to go to bed because I can't hear anything.
- Goes to the toilet with the door open.
- When a toilet roll runs out, instead of simply putting a new one on the holder, she sits it on top of the holder.
- When she gets on the piss she falls asleep in the bathroom or does other cringe-worthy things in front of company.
Things customers do that drive me mental:
- Give me shit about something that is out of my control. That's right, we're upgrading the loyalty system and thus rendering it impossible for points redemption to occur just to spite you. I simply felt like disabling a national system because I didn't want you to use your whopping $6 credit.
- Wander aimlessly in the store ten minutes after closing. See also: phone twenty minutes after closing, open and entre through the CLOSED doors.
- Give me vague information and then get annoyed I cannot find what they're after. Again, I'm doing this solely to spite you.
- Think that just because it's listed on our website we have it and then get annoyed when we don't.
- Think that just because you can order something online in three days it will take the same amount of time for us to get it and then get annoyed when we can't.
- Don't listen to what I'm saying and then ask me a question that I had just answered if they'd been listening. See also: Don't listen when I say we don't have something BUT I can look to order it in and after I've spent ten minutes organising the order go Oh, so you don't have it? Don't worry.
- Don't know what a thesaurus is. Furthermore, it is NOT pronounced THEE-AH-SAURUS. Do you see an a there???
- My hands. They're so delicate and feminine.
- My eyes. They're such an odd colour.
- My boobs. They're small and don't get in the way.
- My brains. I like being smart, even if it makes me a snob.
- Rain. It's wonderful.
- Winter. Nothing better than hot chocolates, coats, boots, scarves and snuggly duvets.
- Tigers. I think they're one of the most beautiful creatures on Earth.
- Boys in waistcoats
- The fact that I have the freedom to blog aimlessly.
