My first post and my first annoyance is....United bloody Airlines.

I limit all of my travel to them what do I get in return? A snidy little witch telling me that i am "entitled to my comments about them, but many people just love their service, their mileage offers and their fares"

I litteraly snorted at the last bit as everyone knows that they are the most expensive airline and it's just that I'm a whore for a free upgrade that I continue to travel with them.

My BF, who usually reads "serious" books, proclaimed himself in need of a good story and picked up an old copy of The Silence of The Lambs. For the past few days he has been imitating Hannibal Lechter. "Where's the toiletpaper we just bought?" "I don't know . . . Clarice." It is driving me nuts!

You'd better find the toilet paper. And watch out if he brings home some Chianti.

Or tells you he's having an old friend for dinner.

I don't like United. For a while I used to ask when checking in (no matter which company I flew with) if there was a chance of an up-grade (I don't do this any longer as it doesn't seem to work any more). Anyway, on this occasion, the United staff member said sure, and I got a seat in business. Before we took off, a ground-person (one of the ones who inspect the airline and then skip off) asked to see my "voucher". Voucher? I had my seat # voucher. She said I couldn't sit in that seat if I didn't have a voucher. Turned out, United needed a flier miles voucher or somesuch (which the check-in person didn't ask for) before an upgrade was given. There was an awkward moment when I thought the United person was going to ask me to go into coach. But the plane was about to depart and she thought better of it.

Then they lost our luggage in Seattle, I think it was. It was later found.

And welcome, Suzie.

I can't be annoyed in here, since YOU are here, and since you booked your flight to see me!

HOORAY!

Sorry, that's not very restrained, is it?

[Suzi Edwards]

I find restraint to be very over-rated.

Odd series of mystery pains, including one in my left arm from shoulder to elbow. It seems to be worse at work, though I don't think I sit in an awkward position. I hope it's not a bruised nerve. Oh, and I'm getting 2 fillings replaced this afternoon.

At least the rain has stopped.

[Wilfrid1]

...to be replaced by an icy, bone-chilling cold. None of my current pains are mysteries - I can identify them all quite confidently. But I sympathise.

You may find this odd, but for a while I had an odd pain that started in my neck and radiated down my arm. At the same time, I was due to have a root canal owing to a “pulped-out” tooth. As soon as the root canal was complete, the pain in my neck/arm went away.

I'm just saying.


My annoyance: trying to alter a pair of lined wool trousers. What sick fuck ever came up with that idea? I mean, it's nice to keep the itch of the wool away from your skin, but have you ever really looked inside a pair or, better, tried to take them apart? My goodness, what a complicated exercise. Now that I've got them apart, I'm not sure I'll ever get them back together (in any wearable form, anyway).

That's interesting, because I have an impacted wisdom tooth on the same side as the arm pain (though I don't have any pain in my mouth). I'm scheduled to have that taken out at the end of the month, so we'll see if they're related.

Your fantastic destiny can't be hurried.

People you dial up accidentally and explain to apologetically you have reached a wrong number but who persist in calling you back (thank you, Caller ID) for the next day or two because they are pathetic imbeciles with no lives who imagine you must be stalking them and that they must find out who you are, and who have apparently never heard of anyone simply making a mistake.

[mongo_jones]

just admit it--you planned to call them.

my favorites are the geniuses who call your number thinking it belongs to someone else, are set right (with the number read back as confirmation that they have the wrong number for who they're looking for) but then call back 4 times in a row because obviously you must have been lying.
