I watch so many movies that are exactly the other way round,
 

The swimming lessons are probably the worst. There are a lot of Beijing oysters around the pool.

I already have the burden of teaching them English, swimming and table manners.

I don't know why I find your dry wit so funny, but I do. Keep them coming Kenneth!

Anyways, back to things that piss you off -



It looks like an accident at Alton Towers.
 

It's the first stage of Cotter World London, it's the Spicer Life Rollercoater of misfortune
 

Really pissed off.

Woke up really late as I could not get to sleep at all last night until 2am thanks to a bouncing pup.

When I did wake up, found I have a temp, upset stomach, and glands bigger that Mercury.

Missed bidding on something I really badly wanted on eBay. It went for 99p, I threw my mail across the room.

Discovered a parcel I'm waiting on hasn't even been sent yet and it's all looking suspect over if I'm going to get it at all.

The house looks like Beirut.

My face is still red.

The fridge was raided in the middle of the night by the snack fairy (My Father) so got to do a shop.

Going back to bed.
 

That grey spiral bit better be a slide.
 

People who get cranky because you ask them not to call you early in the morning about something that can wait a few hours.

To add to my list, the fire alarm going apeshit because you are trying to make toast.

Not true. James Cotter at age 20 is almost the next Ray Winstone, apart from the boxing career.

I wish.

Not true. James Cotter at age 20 is almost the next Ray Winstone, by which I mean my mum wants to have rough unprotected sex with him

Nothing special about that

What about Dads, single people or couples who don't have kids. We buy stuff to.

I'm not as bothered if it's a specific product aimed at a small child. It does annoy me though when they advertise products like heart burn medication and dish washing tablets as "buy this- Mums do".

And by the same token people who call you late at night just for a chat and then blame you for already having been asleep! I start work at the crack of dawn and my sister calls me at least once a month at 11:30pm and then accuses me of being an old fart for thinking it's rude! Grr

Yea. I'm often still up at that hour but still annoys me if people text or call. Mostly because I go into a slight panic thinking something is wrong. If something was urgent like you're in trouble, hurt or just really need someone to talk to then I don't care what time it is. Otherwise wait until a reasonable hour.
