Pet Hates!

[Lemonade]

Ummm that isn't an official Post Office, otherwise I'd have been upsetting the customers there by closing it for 90 minutes. It's a Royal Mail service centre but I have no idea what that actually is.

Nearest actual Post Office is either Holburn Juction or John Menzies in the St Nicholas centre

Well I guess that's me told!

New pet hate then. My fucking phone. *BEEP BEEP BEEP* "LOW BATTERY". *BEEP BEEP BEEP* "LOW BATTERY". *BEEP BEEP BEEP* "LOW BATTERY".

Yeah well, maybe if you didn't beep, light up and vibrate every 30 seconds to tell me that, then the battery would last a little bit fucking longer.

Also, discovering dog shit on the bottom of my trainer - after I've been walking around my flat in them for an hour.

Women. I swear to fucking god the situation i'm in right now i could not be any more mature at dealing with it, any more rational or logically thinking about how to resolve it, thinking months ahead if not years to think of the bigger picture and sort things out. Absolute bint of an ex girlfriend can barely think three days in the future to resolve it! Wise the fuck up and get it sorted.

I'm sure you can guess what's up.

Have you knocked her up?

That's my guess, condoms are wonderful things.

Up to now I've had the same experience as you living with a bunch of annoying minks when I was an undergrad student, but that just takes the disgusting biscuit No need. That said, the only reason for that is that the flat I was in with the minks has ensuite bathrooms so thankfully I never had to share. The kitchen was a fucking state though.

Christ, I was confronted with that in my halls too a while ago. My reaction was pretty much

EDIT: Unintentional LOL at the film title.

Assuming she's up the stick, demand a DNA test.

On principle.

One of my friends lived with this girl who would always leave her mooncup lying around everywhere, it was horrible, I'd go over for dinner and it'd be sitting in the most ridiculous of places. On top of the TV seemed to be somewhere it would frequent. It was always a nasty shock when it'd turn up somewhere unexpected and my friend would get quite embarassed if it showed up when we were over. The girl and her boyfriend shared a room in the flat and used to use a lot of my friend's stuff without asking and would occasionally accidentally damage his things but would never replace them. They used to damage his saucepans quite a lot. Unknown to them, my friend's girlfriend also used a mooncup and kept a small saucepan in which to sterilise it, she'd only ever use it for that. One time this couple went to borrow one of my friend's pots to make an omelette, it was brand new and one of the ones he'd bought to replace one that they'd damaged, so he refused to let them use it and instead suggested they use the mooncup pot. I've never seen him look so satisfied.

Incidentally, I now live in that flat, in the bedroom once occupied by that couple, it was such a massive job to clean it up to a liveable standard and it was full of horrible surprises (there was a very past-it bulb of garlic under the mattress for example, ?(), but I'm really happy with it now. The only thing is that while cleaning, I never did come across the mooncup, I really hope its owner took it with her when she moved out, but I'm not totally certain judging by other things she did leave behind that she will have. So I constantly live in fear of this thing just jumping out at me one day when I least expect it. It's really quite terrifying.

[TelecasterSam]

maybe its because I'm male......and a bit clueless

but wtf is a mooncup ?

I didn't know what it was either until I met these people! But luckily I worked it out before I ended up picking it up to move it or anything.

[Alan Cynic]

I was too scared to ask! I was assuming it was like a teacup, but used for drinking menstrual outgushings?

Probably a teuchter ritual to ensure a good harvest or such

[paranoid]

Maybe they were paranoid about vampires...

Well, I guess that would make sense somewhat with Alan's definition of the mooncup...

[Alan Cynic]

You could use em both to make a tasty black pudding!

Sweet jesus christ that thing looks uncomfortable. I couldn't bring myself to read up on it but it looks like it would end up clarted in ming upon use.

I know, I can't imagine what wearing one would be like. I reckon the girl in the picture is only smiling like that because the morphine's kicked in.

Edit: and it does. That would be how I figured out not to touch it.

[MattJimF]

My missus uses one of them, usually don't see it lying around that much.

[Monster Zero]

So presumably the mooncup requires to be emptied then rinsed. Empty down the bog, fair enough, but that surely means that fanny offal is being rinsed into a sink either used for kitchen activities or washing yer coupon.

Gads min.

Awesome!

[Panda Strong]

not necessarily a pet hate, but this torcher parade isn't half annoying. i was trying to do work this afternoon and for the bulk of it all i could hear was HONK HONK HONK.

[Scootray]

er. No they're not. I'm sure all guys on here will vouch for that one.

Regardless i wore one every time and we're still in a wee mess. Anyway the actual pet hate is her seemingly not being in any rush to talk about it or deal with it any time soon.

Ehh, you weren't just using a condom were you?

[Frosty Jack]

She was on the pill, but was seemingly useless at sticking too it and skipped days here and there.

Anyway, i'm in a mess, she's a bitch and useless with dealing with the situation. Maybe a little more than just a pet hate.

Maybe you shouldn't be discussing this here...

[Soda Jerk]

You'll gather more respect being a Dad than a student. It's win/win. Just don't take John Junior on the bus, or you'll reignite 1000's of Pet Hates from this thread.
