I'll start.

I ate a sandwich at my desk today that was really messy. It fell apart all over the place and got my fingers covered in Asia Chilli Hähnchen. That was annoying.

And I still haven't paid my S-Bahn fine from when I got controlled on my way back home from the airport after Christmas. Man it's gonna suck to have to pay that.

And I hate how my curling iron sometimes pulls those little hairs around the top of my head. Sometimes it even pulls them out. Damn.

God I'm glad I have TT to moan, groan and complain about every single fucking thing that bothers me. What a relief.

I no longer have internet access at home and have to go to EAsyinternet to get online, it is so shite.

@GG

Just look out of your window. mad.gif The misery. The weather is so unbelievably shitty today, I mean, I know I complain a lot about the weather but this is the pits. And it's going to stay like this for a while.

Think that's bad...I was walking to my car this morning and slipped on some ice and fell into a puddle. I got completely soaked and cut my hand. I had to go home and change my clothes and ended up being late for work. mad.gif

I am the "funny english guy" at the office( im not english, i just speak it!) and it has come to the point (ive been here 3 months) that the teutons are demanding i begin speaking their language to them, even though my job doesn't involve it! ( I am learning, just not confident enough yet to embarass myself infront of work mates...)

Here here! I admire your direction your going with this GG.

-After snowing two straight days here it got really warmed and started to rain. Now everwhere is sludge, and my socks get wet. I hate wet socks.

-I woke up this morning and the studio is just a mess. i would complain but it is no fun when you have only yourself to blame.

-neighbors invited me to a party this weekend. I always feel bad to say no and go to these shindigs where it is nothing but german techno and horrible american pop songs mixed together.

-got a package today from the folks(when i told them not to send me anything since I am leaving soon) to top it off I had to pay DHL €16 for the f**k*r.

-I still cannot find my Garden State DVD, and watching Before Sunset is not the same without Before Sunrise(it only reminds me my life is unfullfilled)

Anyway I am off my soapbox next...

Oh yeah I lost my sketchbook...

@kza. You win.

my hair looked acceptable when I left my apartment at 6:20 this morning, but with the rain- yeah, I look weird now at the office.

I am frustrated doing more than my share of the workload (not patients but the behind the scenes stuff), so I spoke with one of the bosses about sharing the small jobs, sharing a week per person (there are 5 of us) and he thought it would be great ot have it in writing, I just got my first case of shit, from Coworker number 1, as she feels it dumb, and she is only parttime, doesnot feel she should be required to do anything, as she has a family (yeah, and a cleaning lady and a nanny and a rich husband). I told her to talk to the Boss, I am just the messanger.

Join the club. Same thing happened to me a week back. But I will just say that you got off easy by just falling into a puddle !!! dry.gif

i had to stand around in the freezing cold for 15 minutes this morning, waiting for my lift to work to turn up

@SiM

This morning I was peacefully having my third coffee. In my nighty. The BF had already left a minute ago. Then I observed from the window that the bugger was slipping backwards in his car on the ice trying to go up the ramp, coming out of our underground car park. I ran into my room, changed within a minute, ran outside, picked up a big heavy back of gravel and poured the contents over the ramp in order for him to have grip under his tires again. All the time he was sitting in his car watching me. I don't know, it somehow didn't feel right. dry.gif

My co-worker won't talk to me and I don't even notice it coz she always speaks so low anyway so she's getting no-where with her enraged royalty airs - hey this is turning out pretty positive.

I could not find clean underpants this morning so I had to resort to the slightly dirty ones I wore last Wednesday.

My toilet won't flush and I'm too scared of my landlord to call him about it so I have to dump buckets of water into the toilet everytime I want to flush.

This has been going on since January 3
Eleanor Rigby
Crawlie, don't you know the longer they sit on the floor, the cleaner they become. This applies to socks as well.

two of my toes on my left foot still hurt. Am assuming they are probably broken. The baby(2) was playing hockey, went to slap shot the ball and got my toes by accident. sad.gif
Blimeygirl
I have a sinus infection and my face hurts. When I bend over to pick something up or tie my shoes my head almost explodes. I have to be off work and I am bored sad.gif

And I ripped a nail off as it caught on my towel earlier grrr dry.gif

Hey thanks gg...nice topic laugh.gif Feel better already...

Is it because of the day you smelled like garlic?

yeah, I got a leaky faucet- going to Toom to get a bucket was much easiser that calling him. laugh.gif

Widow, aren't you supposed to complain about something? Think about Frost GmbH in Deggendorf or something, bad, evil, stinking German meat. Yuck.

No, those are meant to be kept as gifts for your fiancee.

No no Er you have it all wrong.

Crawlie I just hang mine out on the balcony. It gives it a fresh scent. The lady across the way complains but I always just say "Was?".

Also i always wear swim trunks in an absolute emergency(and I dont even know how to swim)

No, it's because I told her off for saying I looked ridiculous - in front of the boss. She's a dyed in the wool dish-it-out-but-can't-take-it.

I had the same problem with my old job here. Before I came my boss told me I didn't need to learn any german and that everything could be done in English. But I was the only foreigner in the department and no one wanted to speak English to me. The Germans started saying I was rude because I didn't talk to anyone at lunch...well, duh I couldn't understand what they were saying. My German is okay for one-on-one conversations but they talk really fast at lunch. I was usually proud of myself if I knew the topic being discussed.
Pirulero
my coworker talks loud normally and louder when shes on the phone, often in portuguese, possibly the most annoying language in the world, especially for someone who speaks spanish, coz i can understand all the shit she is saying.

She also has dead-eyes, does nothing and is and drinks too much to be of any use...

@winegirl, isnt it just horrible!? and it makes em want to not bother learning the language because it would just vindicate them...

I studied my pic yesterday and realized I am starting to look very old, when did this happen!!!

I have had back trouble for the last few days.

It is snowing out. Which isn't a problem for me usually - I quite like it. But now it is a problem because I have to drive in it. I am a sunny southern californian girl who has never driven in snow and now I have to drive in this slushy mess. Jebus, help me.

I live in a podunk town 2 hours from my friends in Munich and I cant go to CN or Quiz Night until these next 10 weeks are over.

My dogs are on the other side of the world.

Men are liars.

I am done "whinging".

I got that too. So one lunchtime I got up and a called them all a bunch of humourless, whining wankers and if they actually spoke an attractive sounding language then I would participate more,in perfect German. They hated me even more after that. Can't please some people. Cnuts

It's not dirty. The lever thingee just isn't attached to the flush mechanism anymore. Can't seem to fix it.

May take that hint though.
Pirulero
liar.

The Iraelis won't pull out of the Golan heights and stupid activists destroy any point they might be making, by being annoying flops...

Well for some reason the Bee-Gees song more than a woman is stuck in my head. Its been a week now and it wont leave!

No man, Bavarian is the most annoying language to listen to.. When you sit in the Underground and the driver announces the stations in a thick Bavarian accent, screaming into the mike, shutting the damn thing off in between, the suspense, the agony, when is he going to scream again..?
@120 decibel following happens
Driver: "Nächste Halt" (brrrzzzll)
Mike off
Driver: "Oh-deons Platz"(brrrzzzll)
Mike off
Driver: "Umsteigemöglichkeit.."
Mike off
Driver: "(brrrzzzlll) auf die.."
Mike off
// thinking :"Say it! Goddammit, say it! Get it over!!"
Driver (brrzzzll) "..U4 und die.."
Mike off
Driver: "..U5. Fwoargeste bitte links" (brrrrzzzlll)
Mike off
Driver: "awssteigen" (brrrrzzzlll)

Bavarian hurts!!

I believe that Bavarian is a rather uncommon language for Munich U-Bahn drivers. Most of them seem to speak Sächsisch, Berlinerisch or other non-Bavarian dialects... rolleyes.gif
