Little things that irritate you

The twats on rally bikes in the woods behind our house. I know they're just having fun but you can fit silencers on those things you know. They've frightened off the ****ing woodpecker

Mid-meal, the front door rings. Some bloke asking me to buy windows. Go away.
Came back to my outside food, only to find one of the Dogs had knocked the plate off the chair and had half a ton of Spag Bol on his head.
My bloody Spag Bol. That I had been looking forward to eating since Thursday. Little four-legged fleabag. Still love him to bits, though.
I don't think there's anything more disproportionately upsetting than dropping your dinner on the floor. :arry:

Wife constantly on the phone for hours at a time talking to her sister.

Sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. The most negative , dreary bitching about others you've ever heard.

Starting to really drag me down .

Just talking utter utter ****.

Think yourself lucky mate. My other half has 7, yes seven sisters in various parts of the world and it is near impossible for an evening to go by without having to pause whatever we're watching for a half hour of sisterly bitching in Farsi. I wouldn't mind but then I have to listen to the crucial details of what a said to b after she was upset by c because she isn't talking to d gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :P

My wife having a go at me (and I mean a proper go) for my 7 year old daughter watching weightlifting videos on Youtube with me.

Why I hear you ask?

This will give her a greater chance of being a lesbian when she grows up. I've asked her to document a causal link between the two things.

Still weighting for my evidence.

Beggars belief sometimes.

Anyway she's told me not to do that any longer, so I'll be ignoring that sage piece of advice obviously, so she can make herself look more and more stupid every time she puts her theory out there.

Why would you show your 7 year old daughter weightlifting videos in the first place, and why would you want her to continue watching them?

I didn't make a point of seeking her out and showing her, I was watching a contest a while back and she came and sat and watched it with me. Since then, she will often sit and watch them with me if she notices,as she is interested in sport generally.

If she doesn't want to watch them I don't particularly care but I kind of resent the point my wife is trying to make that it will turn her gay.

She did however, with a straight face, say that I should encourage her to watch tennis more as that is acceptable.

Pretty sure that guarantees heterosexuality 100%. Or so Martina Navratilova tells me anyway.

Quite apart from the absurd lack of logic in her conclusion, why is that particular sexual orientation to be actively avoided?

Whitey, seems to me that your missus wants your daughter to grow up to be feminine, a girly girl, Nothing wrong with that but what you'll find is your daughter will be easily influenced at that age so what she sees, hears and experiences will have some effect (clearly it won't make it her gay).

It's really about what is considered appropriate.

I agree HD1 , that's exactly what she wants but her thinking on watching lifting and it's causal link to sexuality is absurd.

Plus she's more than happy to ram religion down their throats without a second thought.

So no weightlifting videos but this weekend she'll happily back telling them that a man is able to rise from the dead and if you don't worship the man's father, you're going to hell.

Like FJ says. I wouldn't give a **** if she was a lesbian anyway.
