When an alert keeps popping up for this thread and yet the last post I can read is dales.girl regarding feeling sick.

What about alerts that pop up from threads you posted in a gazillion years ago.

And then a thread you posted in yesterday = donuts.

Glittery Xmas Cards.

Just say no.

Being a scrooge this year, am saying no to ALL Christmas cards. (well giving them out anyway). Cbf'd.

After I posted my whinge, it POPPED up and yes you are right Dalegirl - should of left it at that.

As for xmas cards, I stopped buying them about 5 years ago and since then I now no longer receive any myself - I find them such a waste of time. People I really like I see or talk regularly to anyway, including xmas and if the only time I'm in contact with you is a christmas card exchange then surely it's okay that I no longer bother.

My family doesn't do Christmas cards, we do a family newsletter


No matter how much I protest, they insist every year

We have friends who do this and tbh, we spend much of the time taking the mickey - not very charitable of us but funny none the less.

Yeah, I don't blame you haha, but they've been doing it since my older brother was born. They only send it to old friends and family that live overseas etc. not people we see all the time.

Yeah, you don't want glitter christmas cards near kids, glitter on them is just wrong.

I reckon you should give an Elaine Benes style card

Sounds lame but a cool kind of lame (as long as it wasn't my family)

People who don't cover their mouth while sneezing or coughing

I'll put my hand up and say I've done this probably a bit more than my fair share.

Sometimes you just forget.

It probably comes from living alone for too long, you don't need to be worrying about covering anything.

Being stuck awake because of nasty phlegm that just won't go away in my throat. Was up until 3:30 last night with the same problem, ended up getting a cold glass of cola and ice, seemed to work, am trying the same now. Worse now though because I have work in 6 hours

Certainly doesn't shit me that I'll be overseas for Christmas this year: no cards, no awkward meetings with family you don't like. A few gifts for the people I do like before I left and I was done and dusted. Only obligation now is a (probably hungover) quick Skype on Christmas morning.

Public transport:

People who who don't have the patience or manners to wait and get on the bus at the front door. Instead they use the rear door and then while touching on with myki block the aisle for everyone who came through the front door.

Bus drivers who open the back door when no one's getting off.

People getting off the train who have travelled from zone 1 to 2, and touching off causing a huge blockage at the exit. If you travel from zone 2 to 1 in the morning, touching on and off, and then touch on again in zone 1 on your way home, you don't need to touch off again in zone 2. The system will charge you for a 1 and 2 daily anyway. A lot of these people then go and touch on and off the bus!
