People on Guinea pig Facebook groups telling parents to get their children fish instead of a guinea pig... like fish do nothing, YOU STILL NEED TO FEED, CHECK AND CLEAN THEIR TANK! I’m tired of fish being the easy way out... they’re not easy, just easier. 😂

Get a cockroach more like
 
I hate when people cough and sneeze in public (especially at the doctors) without putting their hand over their mouth, scarily I have seen more adults do this than children.

This one time I saw this guy on the train pinch his nose and sneeze with spittle flying everywhere. It's great that nothing came out of your nose buddy but you've just sprayed the rest of us with your spit and germs.

I see a programme about that. When you sneeze without a tissue, it projects the length of a bus
 
How about this one...

A few weeks ago my eyes were getting sore again. I know I get a thing called blepharitis and also eczema, caused by an allergy to milk. I was doing what I could to treat both of these and yet one weekend they were just getting worse and on Monday my right eye was so swollen and gummed up I could barely open it.

I rang the doctor for an appointment thinking I had an infection. They sent me to the opticians clinic - he confirmed that my eyes were fine (!) And that the blepharitis was very bad (which I knew), said it wasn't bad enough to be an infection, but couldn't advise me about the skin problems which I assumed to be the eczema I had previously been diagnosed with.

So I've been to see a nutritionist (at my own expense) to try to get advice about the allergies and get some more tests. She told me the GP could do some tests so I booked in an appointment.

Finally saw a GP yesterday, who, after all that, diagnosed a FUNGAL infection related to the blepharitis and gave me some cream for it....

I am still getting the allergy testing done as I want to know where I am with all that but if I hadn't been fobbed off by the doctors receptionists all those weeks ago I wouldn't have been using steroid cream unnecessarily on my eyelids and scratching them to bits all this time. Now I'm worried I've done permanent damage!
 
Half term holidays, and parents who let their kids annoy people! A 7 or 8 year old kid stood on my shopping bag on the train and squashed my salad, then stood on the seat and jumped around and kicked me, then spilled a drink down my back. Parents said nothing and weren't even shamed by my disapproving "I'm too polite to say but your kids need discipline" glares...

And a lot of parents! I know kids can be excitable but if I was riding a train with my junior family members and one did that I would at least make a point of telling them to sit down and stop being annoying and ask them to apologise to the affected passengers...
 
Chav parents who chern out kids knowing that the tax payers are paying for them and the " father"will do a runner whilst they smoke 20 a day, pull out the latest iphone to take a picture of their little brat who has just learned to walk, sharing a private moment to the facebook world, who they dont even know half of, then make what could be nice areas look like a dump causing my service charge to go up because they think its ok to put a sofa in a wheelie bin.


And breathe arhhhhhhh!

My husband is a teacher and I HATE half term holidays. Everywhere is busy and there are brats everywhere. But what I hate the most is having to go on holiday with them all

That doesn’t sound nice at all.
Hope you can find the triggers.
I can recommend the ‘Free From’ section in most supermarkets.
My husband is gluten & dairy intolerant so I always trawl those shelves.

Yes if I was the parent I’d be so embarrassed but some just don’t care :(
 
Was travelling back from Kent yesterday after a week away seeing family. First part of the journey went fine. Got to Plymouth, and the train was delayed because another train had broken down on the track. Fair enough. Was tired of travelling by then, however, and when I’m tired, I get irritated really easily.

What didn’t help was this young girl as the train was approaching Truro. She and her family were waiting to get off at the station, as was I. This girl would not stop shouting. Her mother kept telling her to be quiet, but she was taking no notice whatsoever. Almost considered telling her to shut up, but I hate confrontation, so just stewed silently.

Got to Truro, and headed down the platform to wait for a train to Falmouth. Sat down on a bench, then decided to check the overhead display quickly. The 21.05 to Falmouth was...cancelled. Got told by a attendant to wait for a replacement bus service. Waited outside the station for coach to turn up. 21.05 came and went, no coach turned up.

Eventually managed to get in a taxi that they’d gotten to deal with the people waiting, and headed for Falmouth. Didn’t get back home until 10 PM.

I get blepharitis too, the itchiness and the gritty feeling in my eyes drives me absolutely nuts sometimes and because my eye lids get so red and puffy I am always getting asked if I have been crying or if there is something wrong with my eye because I've rubbed it so much my eyeball has gone all red.

When I finally saw a GP she said I have sebhorrhoeic (not sure of spelling) dermatitis which often goes alongside blepharitis, I thought it was the eczema which I've had diagnosed before, but apparently not.

You'd need a gp to tell the difference but if your eyelids are red, puffy and constantly itchy it's worth going back to the GP and getting the right treatment. I've had this going on for weeks and it's driving me loopy.
