Small things that get to you very easily

I write what I speak... then again, I speak like I write too... no-one ever seems to understand me.

Hmm... I pronounce wonder 'wun-der' and wander 'wahn-der'

Dates... I use day/month/year - it's only logical... however, filing on my computer (only for photos really...) I use year/month/day. All depends on where it's being used. Either way makes sense... but having the day in the middle is just silly.

To offer an analogy of my own...

"How long did it take you to write your book?"

"It took me 37 seconds. And 12 minutes. And 3 hours. And 11 days. And 4 months. And 2 years". Makes perfect sense to me :dizzy2:

Agreed!
The only logical order is
yyyy/mm/dd (I don't think anyone shuffles minutes and hours about ~:) )
I also accept yyyy.mm.dd and yyyy-mm-dd

I hate it when some bottle says "use by 04.05.06"
:furious3: When is that?

People who touch my monitor with their grubby fingers when they want to point at something on the screen.

I do that a lot ... it's actually fun (especially poking laptops) :yes: :hide:

Even worse, than that - much worse - is when someone else has been using your computer and they have failed to cover their mouth/nose in time for a cough/sneeze.

The next time you use your computer you find yourself staring at a screen covered in horrible little snot globule splatters. Eugh.

People who don't get my jokes.

Recent example: I made the old joke "Sex is a race and I never lose" ,
idiot's comment "but that is losing !"

It was at least the fifth time he had said something that stupid that night, I think everyone was ready to punch him by that point.

(on a side note: I was only making a joke, I do, occasionally, lose)

Sometimes I hate it, sometimes it's amusing. If I know that I have friends within earshot who will get the joke, then the non-getter is just another bonus joke-butt.
