A Collection of Irritating Things

[Tuesday 29th May]
Yesterday's crappy bank holiday did unfortunately appear to mark the start of a generally less-than-great week.

Today I found myself getting irritated by lots of things.

At work, I discovered somebody had stolen my box of tissues. Whilst this isn't really the end of the world, it did wind me up somewhat, as for me it is actually quite a big deal to go out and buy a box of tissues - usually I just make do with paper napkins and toilet roll. A couple of weeks back though I'd had a particularly irritating runny nose so had decided to actually invest in a box of Kleenex. Expensive ones too - the ones with some kind of balm on. I retaliated in the only way I knew how - with a long, self pity ridden email full of whinging to the largest distribution list I could find for my office. That showed them.

We couldn't be bothered to cook for dinner so decided to go again to one of those vegan Chinese buffet places we have recently discovered. Whilst the food was very good as always, I fear it may be our last visit. Some idiot girl came in, clearly not getting the point, and asked where the sweet and sour chicken was. As if that wasn't irritating enough in itself, she then proceeded to stick her fork directly into a couple of the big serving dishes, screw her face up, and then put a half chewed bit of food back in the dish. I was reminded why I had stopped eating at buffet places a few years back. I had hoped that this sort of place would attract a more intelligent and considerate clientele (as vegetarians are well known to be), however unfortunately it seems there is a good supply of non-vegetarians who are too stupid to understand, and come in anyway, spreading their filthy carnivorous germs all over the place.

The final source of irritation was directed at another of our country's social undesirables - dentists. Chie had managed to get a bit of dental floss stuck inbetween her back teeth at the weekend, and so today went to the dentists to get it removed. She had already spoken to the company who manufactured the dental floss, and they'd agreed to foot the bill (as it isn't meant to get stuck like that). So (hopefully) we won't have to pay anything, but still the final amount was a bit of a shock. Around three hundred quid. Less than an hour's work. I wonder how dentists in this country can sleep at night.

I am afraid to say that dentists do sleep VERY WELL at night trust me! :D As for the buffet girl I would have whacked her in the face right there! Was she named Jocye by the way?

How bad is that!?!?!? Awful!

Makes you wonder sometimes about restaurants in general - and what you don't se... :(

Dentists: the new estate agents.
