» Stupid Tourists
At the WTC wreckage site
American: Sure takes your breath away, doesn't it?
Scouser: Yeah; it changed the world.
American: That's a strange accent, buddy; where you from?
Scouser: Liverpool.
American: What state's that in?
Scouser: About the same state as this...
Okay, so it's not a story, it's a crap joke. Shiksa; it has to be said, it's a lot of big talk from a bunch of people who're guilty of, after all, being ENGLISH TOURISTS. Grimacing, humourless, fat ugly old bastards* or sweaty, drugged-up chavs swapping diseases on a Spanish island.
* I'm probably one of the former.

» The passive-aggressive guilt trip
An ex from a few years ago...
...had a level of skill with the 'passive' half of the phrase that I've never before seen. If I was out for a pint after work, or meeting up with friends (or even, once, my mother), she'd phone me and get me to call her back because she didn't have credit. The bar I was in never had good mobile reception, so I'd have to go out into the street and call her back.
At which point she'd sit silently on the phone, for a good five minutes at a time. When I'd say "oh - are you there? I can't hear you" she'd pipe up enough to keep me on the line, then give me another five minutes of silence.
She'd basically keep me standing around in the rain while she sulked remotely. On my bill.
What angers me the most is that, despite not putting up with this sort of thing, I let her get away with it for months.
I love SMS - "okay, YOU come back whenever you WANT, I'LL be just FINE" is instantly reduced to "okay, you come back whenever you want, I'll be just fine".

» Weird Traditions
cinema habits
I fall victim to cinema tradition as well, and always have to shout "LIGHTS ARE DIMMING!" when they turn the house lights down (from Looney Toons Summer Vacation too - they used to have a member of staff shout it in the days of old to stop old ladies fainting when the room suddenly went dark).
And I always have to dance around in my chair to the Pearl & Dean ident music.
And I ALWAYS have to have a massive hot dog dripping in mustard. Okay, that last one's more gluttony than tradition, I'll grant.
I've gotten myself out of the habit of watching ALL of the credits, 'cos Ms Hairy used to get bored.

Squiggy...
Yes it bloody is! It's full of people who *claim* to be Scottish, but in everything other then a freak of geography, it's full of people who seem just like pretentious home counties w?nkers to me.
Sorry. I'm in a bad mood.
