Ooooh, ghastly. From now on maybe a enviromental friendly cleaner down the plughole every month or so? We also get a build -up in the shower & basin drain.
One can buy a compressed air can which gives it a wooooosh.

1221. Oversized sheets and pillowcases.

Everything was a standard size for the longest time. Now, all sheets are made for those monster marshmallow-topped mattresses and apparently people's pillows are now the size of mattresses. Some of us have (& prefer) regular mattresses and pillows, but have to to put up with shoving extra fabric under the mattress to make the bottom sheet fit and having long tails on our pillowcases.

1223. Coming home with more than 15€ worth of groceries from the supermarket and forgetting once again to buy the one item that I had gone there to get in the first place.

1239. Fat people who find the very smallest of village shops in which to move along tiny aisles at the speed of Coastal erosion so that there IS no way past them. It ends up being quicker to go the "long" way around.

I don't like using firefox on this forum because on my computer it makes the screen jump around too much. However, if you lose power or whatever, firefox will usually restore any windows you were using at the time. Also, I never got the BSofD when using it -- that's an IE thing. Suggestion: use FF when putting together a photo post.

But yeah -- my condolences, too. Generally I don't need the browser to scuttle my efforts, as I manage to accidentally close the wrong window or tab myself. :-/

The thing that upsets me the most is that it was the very first time that I got the Blue Screen of Death on this laptop. It is never a good sign for the future.

1242. people who get angry when i continuously don't understand them - i don't mean not getting what they mean, but acustically. and don't believe me that it isn't my ears, as i understand everyone else fine, but the fact that they mumble into a different direction while we are at a busy street...

1243. People texting on the stairs instead of walking, people texting in doorways instead of going through them, people texting in the supermarket aisles and preventing me from shopping, people texting in the subway exit, people texting in the middle of the crosswalk....

1244. People who are WITH people texting other people they are not with. Ditto cell phones.
