Oh you got grumpy because the automated gate hit you as you shot through it - while I was opening it for someone who's disabled - WELL REMEMBER YOUR DAMN FCKIN MEMBERSHIP CARD AND USE THE TURNSTILES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE :cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing:

The state of your face again this morning, you really need to sort your life out on way or another :dry:
I had someone come up to me at work once (about 25 years ago) and ask me if I ever looked in a mirror! My reaction was pretty predictable ..."WTF?" I asked if I had food on my face? If not, what? He simply repeated that it would be a good idea to go take a look in a mirror...

I adjourned to the Gents and looked in the mirror there. Given that I hadn't yet turned 40, I was pretty shocked to see a haggard pensioner staring back at me! Somehow, I hadn't seen what everybody else was seeing until it was pointed out to me, that my boozy, lazy, junk food lifestyle was slowly killing me!

It hadn't been a very nice thing to say, but at least it prompted me to start making a few important changes in my life. I actually look younger now than I did back then.

Don't know if my "like" is quite the right comment, but a very worthwile and positive story to share. Good for you

Not nice but it did you a nudge in the right direction I suppose.

My colleague is open about how much she dislikes her partner and at times is really nasty, she isn't exactly an angel herself to be fair, their kids are out of control and most mornings start with a row because they seem incapable of holding conversations they just shout at each other all the time. She turns up is a bad mood and it continues for the morning. I know we all have bad days but this is every day :sad:

I have neighbours like that! I'm used to it but guests get very alarmed by the noise of their rows coming through our party wall.
