Really minor annoyances


Sorry mate, I hate thumb typers...
If you’re one of those index finger portrait typers you are dead to me. Dead!
When you just spent 7 quid buying superglue and now you can’t find it.

I went on a safari, where we were just camping every night. The rules were the guide led the cooking, we all pitched in, ate and then washed up while he chilled out. We usually bought him a few beers.

He was really pleased with our group as we all just did our shifts, but were also really interested in the wildlife.

The previous group had been a load of Americans who complained about camp fire type food every night, and expected him to do pizza (on a camp fire). They also complained because he had not brought any ice cream. They branded the animals boring, because some were just lying there. Up close encounter with wild lions and they didn’t like it, because they were not singing and dancing or god knows what else they expected.

Feel like we need to come to a universal agreement.
