Irritations

[Herlock Sholmes]

Have you heard of the Riddle of Epicurus?

If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able
Then He is not omnipotent.

If He is able, but not willing
Then He is malevolent.

If He is both able and willing
Then whence cometh evil?

If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?

I just love it, our ancestors were pretty smart.

Like it Wick.

[Wickerman]

people who type a space before the full stop - period.

people who always write in caps....

[Wickerman]

People that watch videos on their phones without using headphones.

And....people who read out loud on their computer, when you're trying to watch something on TV!!

It’s irritating when people use that one with an accompanying smug look as if it’s a ‘gotcha’ moment.

I like to hit back with - if God is all powerful can he create a stone that’s so heavy even he can’t pick it up.

If humans evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys around? Checkmate evolution.

To give orders, to make decisions, to be elected, ordinary folk aren't capable . . . apparently.

Hi Tani - I'm probably biased as I grew up watching the early Doctor Who episodes but I do agree with you.

Second Doctor Patrick Troughton was a fine actor and rarely gets the credit he deserves for making a success of the reincarnation which is now such a regular feature but had never been anticipated when the series was first written and produced. Had he flopped, that would have been it.

Kind regards,

One of the best imo. I've watched as many of his episodes as I can get my hands on for free.

Black and white is no issue for me. A lot of the best Dr Who eps are in black and white

People who refuse to watch old, classic movies because they are in black and white or say something like well there were no car chases or explosions and no special effects.

I just arrived at my aunts house to find her watching Dickinson’s Real Deal (for non-UK posters it’s a programme where people bring in items which dealers try and buy)

Before the programme came on the announcer said, something like “and now Dickinson’s Real Deal which contains two drawings of naked women by a well known artist.”

This wasn’t just a bit of information about what was for sale today, this was a warning. A ‘naked woman drawing’ alert.

cd i worked at a lot of restaurants too when i was younger. i the remember my first time the waiters warned me that scottish people and or pipe smokers were always cheap on the tip. so true lol.

speaking of getting sacked..I got canned once as a bouncer because i refused to work on xmas eve. of course there was a huge fight that night and my manager had to break it up because no one would work the door that night. the next time i was scheduled to work a few days later i go in and was greeted by manager sporting a big ole black eye and my last pay check. i laughed my arse off all the way home.

i got a hundred of these stories. too funny.

[FISHY1118]

Yup .

Okay

People you don't know who call you and leave a voice mail message asking you to call them back. When they give their number they hold their hand over their mouth and say it at the speed of sound and don't repeat it a second time. Idjits.

The cocktail waitresses at my restaurant used to wear these long, slinky black dresses with a slit up the side. On Friday and Saturday nights they had extra busboys helping out. They were usually 16 or 17 year-old high school kids. The waitresses would approach them getting very close and bat their lashes saying I know that's not your table but do you think you could clear it just for me? Followed by a little shot of cleavage to go with the request. Poor kids. They could barely manage to mumble a yes and you could see the perspiration forming on their faces.
