The wife.
She does this thing where, after we arrive somewhere she'll just sit in the car. For seconds. I don't know if I should just sit there as well or what. So I'll jump out and kinda hang around for a bit.
Also if we're driving through a toll, I likes to have the cash ready beforehand. Not the wife; the purse will only be located once the car has stopped and the window rolled down.
There should be a "things the spouse does that irritates you" thread.

Having to pay almost half the price it cost something to fix it and not having the knowledge to do it myself for much cheaper.

Client phones me... "My computer keeps crashing and freezing, I can't get any work done!"
Me: "OK, can you bring it to me?"
Client: "No, not today - I have too much work to do!"

Yeah, I think your avatar sums up the required reaction perfectly.

Off Topic: Great idea for a Friday thread but it would be headlines on Saturday that MyBroadband was responsible for thousands of wrecked marriages or killings. :D

And it would give MyBB a week worth of articles. E.g. "Advice from divorce lawyer, who gets the Internet (or ChromeCast)" "Watch out what you post about your spouse online" "Why men die quicker than women" "Why it is a bad idea to share passwords" :D

Housemate that believes in washing her hands in HOT water because the doc said so. Don't mind the unsuspecting next user of the tap ...

Were all the bridges taken?
I'm a fussy hobo that needs wifi. Don't see many bridges with that around...

I'd imagine it'll help if its proper hot...some bugs die at reasonably low temps.

All airports should have these....
It actually did (well not quite that pod-like, but super compact rooms by the hour)...that was the plan, but fully booked. :(

Jirre, just got back from the movies and this *****ing family behind me just wouldnt shut up, also taking a call in the middle of the movie, not whispering but rather talking.

They also came in late and started up their flash lights on the phones to walk up the steps.


The freaking cheek people have...



Would any of you have turned around and told them to shut the hell up? I was too scared to just in case the brother/father (but realised at the end there wasnt, only females) would klap me.

I dragged someone out of a cinema once for similar reasons...

And then came and sat back down and after five minutes walked out because I realised I had been fuming so long that I had no clue what was going on.

Went and demanded my money back at the front desk and they told me it's not their problem. I argued what happened to the old days with ushers inside the cinema and so on. The chick issued a refund expecting I might klap her I guess because I was vibrating I was so angry at that stage.

Now I very rarely go to cinemas and it's usually the big deal stuff and the in IMAX or whatever.

And lots of WOOO SAAA.

Haha. Nah actually tiled floor. Couldn't bring myself to part with 4k zar for 4 hours of hotel bed.

Anyway I now have a newfound gratefulness for not being a hobo.

Surely you can book into some or other lounge with your bank card for less than R500?
