Don't you love it when...

I was casually knocking back a bottle of water when, during the final sip, I felt something solid hit my tongue, and I immediately spat it back out. Ah. My daughter had thoughtfully backwashed chocolate cake into the bottle, and I only noticed then. Don't you love it when that happens?

What wonderful things do you just love happening to you?

Hearing people spout nonsense over and over again, and when you call them on it, they just talk louder - as if that makes a difference.

I love it when I don't hear someone clearly, and I ask them to repeat themselves, and JUST THEN as I'm asking, the words somehow unscramble in my head, I understand what they originally said, and then I have to hear them repeat it. Except by then I'm nodding impatiently, and they're wondering why I pretended not to hear them when I clearly did...only it wasn't a ruse! It was my slow brain or something!

Similar to that, I hate it when I can't remember the name of something (person, song, whatever) and I think and think and think about it, and then I finally ask someone, and the moment I ask them, I remember, and then they're like, "Well why the fuck did you ask then?"

I have finally, after 26 years, learned to ask the question aloud to an empty room first. Works wonders.

You love it when you eat cake that's been in someone else's mouth?

I hate it when I accidentally flick ash into my can. Or if I go to take a sip from a can and find I've used it as an ashtray.

When I give an opinion off-hand only to have someone counter it with a half-hour dissertation on why I'm wrong and they're right only to find out they've been agreeing with me all along.

I like proper tea. Unlike the communists, which you're sounding suspiciously like.

People are wrong, generally. If everyone drank tea like me it'd be much better, notwithstanding that national drought would be imminent. :tongue:

Tis nice. You can get to Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, London, ect. fairly easily. Quite quiet, fresh air.

Ummmm. I live in an underdeveloped trouble ridden dangerous area of SE London, and would love to move my wife and two teenage boys out that sorta shit, so what can I expect from Bearstead?

Applogies to the OP BTW.:D

Crime wise? (http://www.kent.police.uk/PerformanceStats/cdrp.jsp) Fairly low in the district, and I'll bet far lower in Bearstead it's self.

When I go to take a 6 or 10 pack of beer out of the box and the pack stays in my hand, but the bottles stay in the box. Blargh.

Forget tea....what really chaps my ass is when somehow sugar gets into my coffee instead of cream. ARGH! Coffee is patently undrinkable with sugar! This is why I hate those places that put in cream/sugar for you. Sorry Timmy Hos...no double double for me!

I love it, in a sarcastic manner, when...

1) a program won't compile
2) a program compiles but crashes
3) the whole computer crashes
4) I receive a random call (maybe wrong number) on my cellphone when I'm sleeping (why the hell do I keep it on??? :p)
5) my monitor shakes cause of earthquake (happens recently for some reason)
6) I read TvTropes or post in forums and then look at the time to see 4 hours passed ;)

etc

I just love it when I'm saving something on my computer (a game, an office document, etc.) in case the program crashes, and then the program crashes specifically because of the save (and before or during the save, so either its not saved or the file becomes corrupted).

By not putting any sugar in the drink?

Why do you need sugar anyway? The flavour is in the tea/coffee already, sugar adds nothing.
