Silverton End Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 2 hours ago, Dee Man said: I was staying on a house boat on the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, Thailand (not relevant to the story but makes it sound more exotic). I got up one morning and started brushing my teeth with what I obviously thought was toothpaste but turned out to be my girlfriend at the time's Canesten - thrush cream. Would not recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these people not have phones? Watches are largely redundant these days anyway. I was bought a watch as a gift for my brothers wedding but I genuinely don't think I've ever worn one. They just aren't required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also sat navs. The amount of conversations lately I've had with people who have asked me my address and then 10 follow up questions about how to get there. Seriously.... Is Google maps complicated to work????? I very much hope you don't vote because you're clearly very simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being dependant on your phone for everything is the mark of a moron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your watch could stop working the same way a phone could run out of battery. Watches are an accessory not an essential.

You quietly seethe for the next hour or so, wishing only, that you could hurl both them and their infernal iPhone out of the fuckin window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-dee Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 As my gran got older, she stopped saying her actual age and talked about what she would be on her next birthday, eg “I’m in my 90th year”. This bizzare trait seemed to be present in all her pals at the care home as well, although she definitely did it while she still lived in her own house, so she was probably the p***k that passes it on to all of them. Anyway, my petty thing today is that I needed to pick up a parcel. The shop is only a 10min walk away, but with it being a nice day, I planned a nice wee walk round the long way, which would see me pick up the parcel on the way back. Great walk, but did I remember to pick up the parcel? Of course not. I even bought my fucking lunch in the shop I was supposed to collect it from.very similar to yourself mate i just went to the shop as ran out of milk. got home with a load of shopping but no milk. i want my cheerios! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 When you are getting on with your day and generally having a good time, then your brain decides to remember some random shit you did 20 years ago which leaves you depressed for the rest of the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just aren't required.Their phone is charging, they left it in their room, it's switched of because they're at work, or they're carrying something so they don't have a free hand to access their phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
