minor things that make you fume

Not fume levels but it irritates me when someone says 'I could write a book me'. I always feel like saying 'I bet you couldn't'.

Virtually everyone over the age of 25 will have a collection of funny, curious, frightening or otherwise interesting anecdotes from their personal experience which, in the right hands, could make a book. The hard part is writing it.

Doubt it. The vast majority of people live incredibly dull, mundane lives. I doubt I could muster 1000 words of genuinely interesting anecdotes of my life. Nothing that anyone aside from me and the wife would consider worthy of reading.

Maybe I should have said lots of people and over the age of 40. Because after thinking about what most people post on facebook and twitter you've probably got a point.

Then again, you're possibly just being argumentative. It happens to me a lot. In fact, I could write a book about the people who get argumentative with me.

No, most lives really are mundane. As you say, 10 mins on Facebook can confirm that. Problem is people not realising how mundane their lives are, yet continue to post utter tripe on Facebook as if anyone cares.

Thing is though, some people do care.

And if you don't then you do know you have control over what appears in your feed, so weed everyone out, then you can look at a screen with a Facebook header and a lot of whitespace that is now filled with ads and FB promoted posts.

I took the easier option and quit FB.

Just realised that the initials of FaceBook are the same as Federal Bureau (of investigation).

I knew it was a trap.

Get out before it's too late!!

Anything that starts by saying blah blah is "fantastic entertainment for the whole family" is absolute pass the sick bucket time.

or use it in a different way, 'like' all the bands , DJ's, sports teams etc that you are into and then most of your feed is things they post which is interesting rather than baby bores and the like

Dying for a poo, rushing into the bathroom to find whoever used the toilet before you has pissed all over the seat.

I've noticed that the flush in the work toilet sends splashes all over the seat. So all the time I was cursing fellow employees, it's actually just the toilet.

You think you've got clean glasses until you go to the cinema
