Pointless But It Does My Head In

Wow! Im not alone.
My first food was tomato, it was the only thing I would eat. Then, by the time I was 8 I hated it, could not stand it on the table, slowly, by the time I was at college I could handle pizza and sauces, but not fresh tomato, even the tomato-y residue left on salad leaves was still horrid and repulsive to me..... now after a few more years I can quite happily enjoy the odd chunk in a salsa..... I had my first BLT a few weeks ago - not an unpleasant experience! Sun blushed raisiny tomatoes are quite nice to with parma ham or cheese....
BUT
Those psychopaths who tuck into a whole raw tomato at lunch need their heads looking at, utter nonsense......
and one more thing - find me a cafe/supermarket wrap or sandwich packaging that does not obliterate the contained foodstuff upon removal! Agggh its easy open, easy pour ( my arse ) orange juice all over again.
and one more thing - that show on channel five, the apprentice girl and Ian Wright waffle on about a 'celeb' with insightful comments like "not right though innit" - makes loose women feel like newsnight in comparison.
Im grumpy and going to bed. hmph
Was just idly surfing back through the thread and came upon this:
Reminded me of a bit in a book I read recently; dude mentions a trick he learnt as a student in shared accommodation to stop this happening - write MILK EXPERIMENT on the bottle.

Yeah, butter is best kept in the cupboard apart from during the hottest part of the summer when it gets squidgy and wet rather than merely soft. I guess ideally it's kept in a larder, but who the hell has a larder these days?
I don't get people who keep eggs in the fridge. There's just no need unless you live in the tropics. They're not refrigerated in the shop, are they?

Oh god yeah, I hate this. Often the thing in question is not even particularly weird. Like you'd have to be tripping your tits off to think of anything even vaguely outside of everyday humdrum reality.
People who say that are just advertising their own crippling lack of imagination.
My turn: anyone else notice a huge surge in 'phishing' attempts on facebook recently, i.e. blatantly spurious 'friend' requests from people you've never heard of?

People who don't know how to use mobile phones - specifically, people who think you have to hold it to your ear to listen then move it around in front of your mouth to speak. Do they not realise you can just hold it still at the side of your face? Bizarre.
People who use their mobile on speakerphone in public. I've only seen this a couple of times but I think it's far, far worse that playing music out loud. It's pretty much the same thing as wearing a T-shirt with "I don't deserve to breathe" printed on it.

Maybe they just mean 'as cold as water which has ice in it'. Not that I'm anxious to stick up for advertising copy.

i always laugh when i see people all twisted up like a pretzel with the phone in their right hand but holding it against their left ear (or the other way around). why not just move your right hand to your right ear, or switch the phone to your left hand?
Arrghh one of the infinite number of managers at my summer desk job does this in his cubicle. He doesn't have his own office where he can close the door, but this doesn't stop him from having loud, business-speak riddled "ear-to-ears" with people over speaker phone. I'm going to stop here before I go into a hysterical tirade. This man is the bane of my existence between the hours of 9am and 5pm.
