Lateness:
Article in the DET about being late:
http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/special-features/youre-late-youre-selfish--717730
I personally hate being late, usually will be early rather than late. I know sometimes it really cannot be helped, but those that do it all the time really do my head in, i do think its selfish as the article suggests as they think there time is more valuable than others.
My wife has a friend who is ALWAYS late, and I mean always. When they meet up or are going out you know she will be late. So her excuse is 'well you know im always late'
Not long ago they had an afternoon tea booked, my wife was there a few minutes early, by the time her friend was 10 minutes late shes texting me complaining and im telling her just come away and i'll come pick you up, but no shes too politie and her friend turns up 20 minutes late. All she said is well you could have started without me...
My wife gets home and notices at the time she should have been meeting , her friend was posting pictures of her new shoes on facebook.
Totally rude and selfish in my opinion.
Right on. I hate this.
Mrs Wolfie recently took an afternoon off work to go shopping with a friend of hers - who ended up being 1.3/4 hours late, with a really rubbish excuse and no apology. This was a lot worse than average but they are consistently 30 mins late whenever we arrange anything for us & our kids to get together - and then do nothing but argue in public when they do show up!

That screen notch thing bothers me & does spoil it IMO. There's no way Steve Jobs would have let it happen.
Having said that I've only recently upgraded to a 6S+, so it'll be a while before it becomes a decision I have to make.

I get that you dont have to move the sofa, which solves that problem.
But what about the f****** tele

I'm guessing if they want a tree like that then they've probably got an Exorcist type swivel head anyway. Problem solved.

LED light bulbs.
For example. I've just replaced one on a security light (so only occasional use) which has been in operation for about 3 months, when the packaging claims it'll last for 25 years.
Over the past few months I've replaced most of the lights inside and outside of my house with LEDs and I seem to have to replace them about as often as I used to have to with the old fashioned ones.
So much for saving me money on electricity, when the bulbs cost loads more than the old ones.

It’s my wife’s and brother in law’s birthdays next week. Went to WH Smith’s and bought two cards...£8.03p. These were not fancy Dan all singing all dancing situations with all the whistles and bells, just an improvement on the tat the card factory sells.
I’m not tight but eight quid for two cards is an out and out rip off and I’m still annoyed about it this morning.
This grinds my gears as well. Spend £4 on something that's going to get looked at for a few seconds, gather dust on a shelf for a week and then get binned/recycled. Massive waste of money.

Date night & Thai restaurant for us tonight. First time I've been able to talk Mrs Wolfie into it. She thinks it'll all be really spicy.
Haven't had proper Thai food in ages.

I sent an email with a suggestion as to what it could be, they confirmed that it was possible, we compared notes, ran a line of code on one of the files to disable a caching method. Hey presto the forum is fixed.
Taking full credit for my diagnosis of the situation to ensure a speedy fix was put in place. Now back in your tree house
Was the email content along the lines of: "Turn it off and back on again"?

I parked at Newark Northgate station this week, for a business trip to London. When I returned, one of the parking pay machines was out of order and so there was quite a large queue at the only other one. I noticed a woman walk past & said that she wasn't prepared to wait that long to pay.
10 minutes later and I'm now in a queue at the barrier because someone at the front (in a 16 plate Porsche) was pressing the button to speak to someone because the barrier wouldn't rise. No prizes for guessing who.
What did she expect was going to happen?. Presumably she thought they'd let her off the charge (£13). I suppose Porsches don't pay for themselves......
After a few minutes I noticed that there was another exit and so went to that one - followed by the 6 or 7 other cars who were waiting. I really hope they didn't let her get away with it.

When the Mrs asks me if we did it last night
You should mess with her mind & start talking over breakfast about the amazing rumpy pumpy the night before - when nothing actually happened.

People who take laptops into meetings or presentations & sit there catching up on emails etc. Makes my blood boil. Show some respect!

T2: Trainspotting
The first one was a landmark of my youth and I'm just pleased that this one didn't kill the good feelings about the first. Very good follow up, overall.

Being at work and having nothing to do. Far, far worse than having too much to do.
Agree.
When my brain is in high gear (as I call it), I'm a lot more efficient, concentrate better & decision making improves. Weirdly, I have a mild stammer but it pretty much disappears when I'm busy & stressed, when you might expect it to be the other way.
I hate it when I have too much time to do stuff (or nothing) because I over-analyse everything & my brain goes to mush.
