Knowing You've been to Ikea when Instructions make no sence what so ever

putting your keys down then not being able to find them, same thing hapens with screwdrivers and spanners I find.

Or getting in that tight space or balanced on top of a ladder and dropping the nut/bolt >

Getting halfway up stares and then forgetting what you were going up for :? this never happend 10 years ago.....SAGA moment.

People who call speed cameras 'safety' cameras and pretend to be sincere about it

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) chips embedded in wastebins

The loser who drops a 'Toffee Crisp' wrapper in my front garden every week

Ahh, feeling better already...

Realising that all the lads who came round for the Saturday afternoon footyfest now want you to fit motorised satellite kits for the lot of them >

realising you haven't paid your credit card bill, so bleary eyed at 2 am you do it on line only to find you have paid £150 to the wrong company

So you call the bank to sort it only to give the wrong answers to a security question and have your phone and internet banking "locked" until you can go into your branch and sort it out

BGonaSTICK · 19-09-07, 02:32 PM

Cables.

They are always either too long or too short. Always.

Don't ever try to relocate anything with cables attached, no matter what Feng Shui or the Mrs might have to say about it. Just walk away mumbling.
