stupid first world problems you're dealing with

an engineer in a meeting i was in today kept saying, "that's a mute point".

I hate it when people keep using the same words over and over and over. My boss is turning all my colleagues into mini-versions of himself so they all go around and use the same "business"-words that he does. Luckily, as I'm writing this I can't even remember any of the words they use. But I cringe every single time they do.

i fucking love that bit in peep show where mark feels so proud of himself saying 'chance would be a fine thing'' that he says it three times in a row.

Shouldn't it be "moot" point?

Kind of reminds me when some people mispronounce "nuclear" as "nookyoolur", they sound like dumb rednecks

I'm just going to pretend it's some sort of engineering pun that's beyond muh ken.

i had to listen to a guy use the word "culture" to refer to people in a company probably a dozen times over the course of a presentation the other day. made my teeth hurt.

lol

google disabled the backspace key for returning to the previous page in chrome, been annoying the fuck out of me for the last week.

Alt-Left

yeah, I know. but it's really annoying because I used that one almost all the time, no good reason to remove it, and if they did they should've made an option to turn it back on. also. you can't do alt-left with one hand.

*presses Alt-Left and exits thread*

wish they would've changed it to alt-right just to see the john get angry about it

was taking a whiz a while ago and encounter a really long pube. thought it must be a head hair that got in the undies some how.. so i pulled it out fast.. nope.. it was a pube and attached and plucked out with s typical hair pluck zoink.  i managed to not redirect the stream though. 

the electrification of Bristol's rail lines

the deteriorating quality of our local chippy compounded by finding the ultimately supreme equivalent down the coast, this is serious business

summer effectively ending in a few weeks

enough free opiates from Britain's NHS to indulge Zammo & a small army, its either all or nothing with this system

the cunt roofing his garage @ weekends a few doors down, 8am on Saturday is wrong mate, gonna borrow me Ma's dog and have him leg rape you

Well done!

I have one chest hair that is about 6 cm long. One time when I was showeing I accidentally wrapped it around my finger and yanked it out. It hurt.

Why do people care if the checkout assistant accidentally made a mistake that cost them half a dollar?! WHY?!

Because money. I have a friend that had a "blazing row" with a cashier because the slices at 99 Cent Pizza are actually a dollar. She also berated a cashier at Davina's bc he overcharged 5p. Refused to ever do business with the place again, and started walking ~1 mile out of her way to shop at Tesco Express instead.
