Random Irritations

[Orikoru]

Losing clothes at home. Every now and then I think of an item of clothing that I haven't seen in a while - it's not in the wardrobe and not in the washing basket - so where the hell has it gone? I've lost a Castore baselayer somewhere, and now I can't find the new polo shirt I got for Christmas and only wore once. Baffling.

Buy a new one.
That'll find 'em!

Or they're under the sofa.

I fine my lost stuff inside other clothes such as jumpers.

When my wife can't find her underwear she asks me to strip off

Do you have the same size or bigger breasts then?

Just heard that my cousin, lovely bloke who I saw at the weekend, has been diagnosed with MS. One of the nicest people you could meet, he's had a few illness problems recently and this probably explains it.

They've made progress with this, yes I've been doing my research, but it's a real kicker for him.

Whilst it's a difficult time for him at least knowing what was causing his issues means he can try to get on with his life.

As someone with MS myself it's not all doom and gloom. He'll be monitored regularly and have quick access to treatments should his symptoms worsen.

It will take time to come to terms with and will need some managing but there are plenty of examples of people living normal lives whilst keeping the illness under control.

Good luck to him

When I was working last, early 2000's, one of my team announced she had MS.
She quickly attached the strapline "I don't have MS, MS has me" to all her comms.
20+ years later she is married with twins and socialises regularly with her old girlfriends.
I don't pretend to know anything about the condition, only about the one person I encountered.
Stay positive.

Those who drive without turning lights on when it must be impossible for them to see their dash instruments.

Fog lights are another massive irritation alongside those who are never off the brake pedal because they can't cope with being more than 3 feet from the car in front.

Most dashboards light up when the engine starts these days.....that's why people forget to put headlights on.....
Fog lights . If you think about how poor the visibility has to be before they need to be used there's a good chance that you shouldn't be on the road.....
With brake lights I had the same gripe until I got my Hybrid...every time I lift off the gas, or even ease back, the brake lights come on as the regenerative braking kicks in.
So they might not be touching the brakes at all....

Thanks. I now understand the excuses these morons may use if challenged

Why are fog lights a massive irritation?

That's hardly a valid excuse. My dashboard doesn't light up in that way, and if you wait until you can't read it, that's WAY too late.

For me it's those people that use them when it is foggy, then forget to turn them off for the next two weeks!

Most turn them on when it is raining and that is totally blinding.

Only when there is no fog and they are in use.

Actually, forgot to mention those manually operated low 'driving lights' people have on and drive a 900cc 0-60 in a hour car and think they make them look cool.
