You know what pisses me off?? If I order a coffee with sugar in it, STIR THE DAMN THING!!! Swishing the cup in 2 circles is NOT stirring. Waving a spoon over it for a half circle is NOT stirring. Stir it properly so the sugar dissolves. That way it'll be drinkable from start to finish. Won't be bitter, bitter, bitter then all of a sudden syrup! 
I even had one woman tell me because it's raw sugar it just dissolves. No sunshine, it doesn't just dissolve, you have to stir it!!! Grrrr. |

It's better without sugar, that way you can taste the coffee (unless it's a short black). 
I always offer a person I'm seeing (where I can) a cup of tea/coffee/ water. The worst request I've had is a coffee with 7 sugars. I'll put 3 in as the max in those small polystyrene cups & make some joke about offering to assist people but not to give them diabetes.

Yeah, since I keep getting unstirred coffee, I am getting used to the taste of sugarless coffee.
I once had a customer ask for 7 sugars in his coffee. I said "7 sugars????? Show me your teeth!" Which he did, and they seemed ok. I actually didn't mean to say that out loud to him but it just came out - from the shock I guess! For the record, I only have 1 & 1/2. |

Must be coincidence, but as I was typing this I had made a pot of tea for three people: Me, oldest daughter & her friend john as they are about to drive to Sydney. Couldn't find any bloody sugar (he has 1). Brown sugar - tick, icing sugar - tick, castor sugar - tick, rice molasses - tick, honey - tick. No bloody raw sugar FFS

However, I just looked at the chaplains thread and really don't understand what's upset you. I can't see where any "crap started". Was that posted during your Friday or Saturday day from hell episode ? I've seen worse, put it that way. |
haha
yeah, and i guess just a culmination of all the other threads that seem to get derailed by shitfights! straw, camel, kinda thing,

Only one and a half teeth?
You're clearly barracking for the right team.

Haha. My bad. For the next record, I spent thousands having a couple teeth basically rebuilt, part of me thinks it was just to break the Collingwood supporter stereotype!  |

Ditto on the rebuilt teeth.
Root canals are not my idea of fun.

Add to the root canal about 3/4 of the tooth broken off, on 2 teeth.
Endodontists are also not my idea of fun. Especially with their Porsche parked in the car park, that I'm sure I made a payment or two on for him  |

Yep. When I went back to the dentist a few years back after a long lay off I basically said tell me if they're worth saving or do you need to yank the lot. He reckoned they could be saved and several thousand dollars later all good. The private insurance took a fair whack of the hit but still cost a bit.
I'll have to stick in my will that when I croak, pull out the gold one before you stick me in the ground, that was $300 worth of gold 5 years ago.

The big bloke really doesn't like other dogs.
Got home early today. The neighbor is pulling down the fence between my place and his and getting it redone over the weekend while I'm away. He's using my driveway for access and has a skip in which doesn't fuss me.
So as soon as he starts pulling the fence down the big bloke discovers he can get into the front yard, so I grab a drink and start giving the front garden a water while he just hangs around the yard with me.
Then some young bloke across the road (friend or relly of the people who lives there) comes out with their dog, white Lab, and their 2 year old son to go for a walk in the park.
Big bloke sees the other dog (which was on a leash) and squares up. I see trouble about to happen and yell at him to stay, he looks at me, looks at the lab, says **** it and charges across the road.
****.
Drop the hose, plant the drink on the brick mail box (busted the glass in the process) and scoot over the road after him about 3 metres behind. The Lab sees him coming and is up for a blue so all of a sudden these two dogs are going at each others throats while the young bloke holds the lead and looks like he's having a heart attack and the 2 year old is right there.
****.
Charge straight in, grab the big bloke by the collar and haul him out of there. Lost some skin of my left knuckles in the process but didn't notice till about 10 minutes later.
Hauled the big bloke back into the yard, grabbed a piece of temporary fencing and barricaded him into the 5x5 area that he normally sleeps in anyway after giving him a couple of clips over the ear for being a douche.
Grabbed a smoke and my drink and got the heart rate back down (he's a strong boy) before I went into the park to make sure the kid was OK. All good on that point thank christ.
All going to plan by the time I get back there'll be a new fence up and I'll have a clear driveway so I won't have the neighbors mutt running out every time I open the frigging roller door

He's got his own house with a bedroom (kennel) and an open fresco area with 2 leather couches to choose from.
It's called OUTSIDE.

I like the big boy stories - post a photo of him some time. I'm getting to feel like I know him.
