I wasn't allowed my ears pierced until I was 16 and able to make an adult decision (according to my dad), just before I turned 17 I had the second piercing done, then second year of uni it was my navel, then the following year my nose :)) I had my tattoo when I was 21 as well and whenever my dad wanted to express how honest he was with me it always started with "I told you I didn't like your piercings and I told you I didn't like your tattoo"

I was allowed as a teenager but never wanted them done, wasn't bothered in the slightest. I had my first tattoo at 18 and also had my belly button pierced. Only fancied ear piercing when i turned 30. I've also got arm tattoos :) I want more!

Aw piggy daddy's 78 year old uncle did that too, he lost his keys but the porch was open and it was raining and he was tired so he sat down on the floor in the porch... but he's 78 and weighs about 20 stone and the poor chap couldnt get up and couldnt reach the door handle! Luckily piggy daddy rescued him but uncle was too proud to say he was stuck on the floor of the porch so he hadnt phoned anyone and there was a lot of piggy daddy having to pretend not to notice his poor old uncle was rolling about on the porch floor and just acting like it was a normal social visit...
So who's in charge if you are locked out @sport_billy ?

Haha mine was summer, I did an outreach at the local children's centre. Nipped home for lunch. Left my keys on the coffee table and rushed out for the bus. The second the door clicked to I realised I didn't have my keys and now I couldn't get back in to the house or unlock the front door to get on the street. Luckily I did have my phone and had to call my mum who has spare keys, she was with my brother, niece and nephew who all found it really funny to see Aunty Kelly locked in the porch
 
I had a really bad start of the day today... My physics teacher asked me yesterday evening to collect my physics file from school today. I could have collected it tomorrow if I wanted to but I cancelled my plan for shopping and went especially to the school just for a file. I woke up super early. All the kids are on winter vacation. I went and unfortunately the principal was standing at the gate talking to some other teacher. She said I can't enter the school in casual home dress🙁 I told her that it ll take only a minute I just need to collect my file. She pushed me back out of the school gate😫 everyone was watching😫 I came school in such a cold rainy day on a bicycle. I stood there for 10 mins thinking what to do now because I needed my file. Everyone ignored me so I came back and now my mum is getting angry on me that why didn't I brought my file. There was no such rule ever that u have to be in school uniform to enter it🙁
 
When you can only make outgoing calls and not receive them. You report the fault 2 day ago (Wednesday) to a computer that informs you there may be a fault in the line and an engineer has been called. The next day there is no phone or internet so you report the problem again and this time you get to speak to an actual person (wonders will never cease!)who informs you that there is a problem with your phone line! (Like you didn't already know DUUH!) and an engineer should fix it by Tuesday. It's fixed in a couple of hours which is great (or so you think). Today I wake up with no phone line and no internet. I check the BT fault line only to find that the problem is being worked on. I go out and there is an Engineer with his head in the box at the end of the road. I wait most of the day. Still no phone line. I check the BT fault line online again using my phone to the good news that it is fixed. ERR no! So I phone up BT for a THIRD time explain the situation only to be told that it should be fixed as the Engineer said it was. I say but I have no dial tone and no internet. I have booked an Engineer to come out between 8am and 1pm on Tuesday as this is the earliest time I could book and I may have to pay 85 quid for the privilege of them fixing a fault that I didn't cause in the first place!

I know about paying for a BT engineer when it wasn’t my fault 😡

That really does annoy me! It belittles how bad Mental Health conditions are. My Mum had a serious Mental Health condition for most of her life. She was known as being "delicate".

This gets me too. The most common one I hear is along the lines of "it's my OCD". I called someone out at work on it. Told her that being a perfectionist, liking to get her own way all the time and not liking change was nothing like having OCD. (I don't have OCD either but I get very passionate about people being dismissive of mental health conditions and I have previously made a complaint to management over other terminology used in the office)

Yes I agree
 
When you’re catering to someone and they complain about going to the same places when they won’t choose themselves and I’m the one paying for it :(
 
I remember when my wife dropped a whole 3 litres of cooking oil on our old kitchen floor lino 😱

If you ever do it, mop what you can up, and soak the the rest with flour. The floor comes up like brand spanking new lol
 
When people keep expecting lifts off me because I'm the one who doesn't drink, which saves them a good £20 taxi fare, but won't even offer me a few pound to cover petrol costs to give them a lift. I wouldn't mind if they just offered me 2 or £3 each way. Why should I lose money and they gain money and the ability to have a drink on top.

Unbelievable, they all have their own cars aswell.

That's very inconsiderate @SkyPipDotBernie, my family always get piggy daddy to do the driving usually because he works evening shifts so can't have a drink until he gets home at 10pm, but I did buy him the car and my daughter always cooks him big meals in exchamge so I think that's a reasonable swap! My mum does take advantage though, trying to get him to go fetch her 2 random things from the shops when he's working 20 miles away and getting offended when he won't!

Lol, some people just don't get it.

We do have one friend, she will buy us a coffee or pay part of one of our meals in exchange for lifts, which I don't mind atall.

I might start my own price list for lifts

Or just start saying no. Maybe say that you can't afford to anymore and they might get the hint
