When I've done same I think of it as a four putt after hitting the green with my tee shot on a par 3 - only to find the hole is cut in a ludicrous position on a slope and I can't get the bleedin' ball into the hole.

Overheard daughters 6th form achievement assembly "... award goes to Fred for smiling." - seriously! These are 16/17/18 year olds, and they are being praised for smiling! There were 2 awards per class and I realise that there are a lot of grumpy teenagers but surely a school must be scraping the barrel to not be finding other reasons than that. Give me strength!

Liked because I share your pain, not because Fred smiled.

People who mark every email they send you as being of high importance. Quickest way to the bottom of the list.

Maybe Fred has some mental health issues and the award will mean more to him than another “well done” certificate to a kid that’s already getting good grades. ??

People that request a "read receipt" for their email are my bugbear.

Well he's been pretty crap for Man Utd this season

Cars. Specifically our family car, a BMW X1. Had it packed last night and ready to go cross country for a family getaway to the inner Hebrides. Had everything prepared, I’d even vacuumed it, filled the washer and checked the tyre pressures in advance. Everything was ready. We even managed to lock the door and set off an hour earlier than we needed to catch the ferry - a miracle with a 9 y/o involved.
We got as far as pulling off the drive when there was an almighty bang. I get out to find the front n/s spring has self destructed, broken off the shock mount into 3 pieces and jammed into the inner wheel rim.
So everything out, repack half of everything into the Panda runabout for a cramped jaunt across country instead.
Could have been worse I know but it’s yet another thing that has gone wrong with that heap of crap car.

It's all part of the woke culture, even failures have to be praised and rewarded so they don't feel left out ?

Sent the kids off with wife Monday (back now) in the juggernaut.. all packed 3 kids, mother in law, wife .. boot full of stuff
Thing wouldn't start, no option to take the Corsa as you can't fit them in Lol
Managed to jump it
Cars your right are just a pain, even if you look after them they fail
That's a major ouch, no idea in terms of cost but I'm thinking of the start to a holiday. Hope the rest goes well, and the repair bill isn't too painful.

We don't know why Fred got an award for smiling. Could be all sorts of reasons! Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
Could be BiMGuy's reason below. Could have had a recent bereavement. None of us know.

My other half is a teacher, I often hear about some of the ridiculous awards given out these days.
Been struggling this week and popped round to my parents this evening.
Not sure if my mum doesn’t understand mental health issues but continually asking me what’s up and what’s causing it isn’t helping and neither is telling me to cheer up.

West Ham owners taking a great big dump on the fans again. Greedy buggers have decided to create an elite section right through the block we sit in so we (and load of others) are being moved along to make room. But they haven’t got the guts just to say what it is, they present it as “exciting ground improvements” they sent an email last night after the ticket office was closed telling us if the move “didn’t quite work for us” to give them a call about relocating to the new 1966 area. Ah one thing, it’s 50% more expensive than my current ticket and there are no concessions for my pensioner dad or student son!
We feel gutted as we only transferred into these seats this season after being up in the nose-bleeds since we moved there.

My socks wriggling down my foot whenever I wear wellies. Walking the dog this morning, I had to stop twice; take the welly off each foot and pull my socks up. It never happens with any other footwear.
