Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Things you can't do despite being a grownup
Basically, stealing the idea from this thread on reddit.
So, b3tans, what can't you do despite the fact you're a fully grown and responsible adult?
I can't work out which way is east and which way is west, most often when working out which platform I need on the London underground, without muttering "never eat shredded wheat" under my breath. Also I never learned to do a signature, I just write my name in my normal handwriting.

Needy Co-Workers
My other half constantly bitches at me about a co-worker of hers who constantly bitches at her about everyone else at her workplace.
Have you any experience of this? And how, if you have, did you deal with it / them?

Snoring cunts.
Who's the loudest-snoring cunt you know? I think it's the guy in the room above.
Alt: ever woken yourself up snoring or farting? I nearly did after falling asleep waiting for the question to change on here.

Homemade alcohol
I have a 'make your own absinthe' kit here, fucking terrified of making it
imgur.com/O5bW9IZ
Tell us your stories of when you got so drunk on homemade mead you pissed in the cupboard. Or tell us about the time you tried to buy wine stabiliser but got chased out of the friendly merchants shop because that compound is used to bash cocaine. Tell us about the trials and tribulations of not being able to afford 4 cans of strongbow and couldn't brew your own poison so you got pissed on antifreeze and the next day pissed in your own mouth.

Annoying words and phrases.
"Limited edition" really annoys me, in it's overuse in erroneous situations; it only make sense for things such as published media. Can chocolate bars be limited edition? No... that should be "different recipe".
What words and phrases annoy the fuck out of you?

Saying things out loud
My wife makes a lot of things with a kind of wheat called spelt. She often says, "I've made a spelt loaf today" and before she can finish her sentence I have to say, "L-O-A-F, loaf". Same with spelt pasta, "P-A-S-T-A, pasta". Oh the hilarity never ends (neither has the marriage so far). But I can't stop myself.
Post your stories of things that you say out loud because your can't help yourself.

Overplanning
Before even so much as a day out a friend of mine would set up an Excel sheet with a to-the-minute rundown on the day having researched everything from bus routes, stop numbers and times (with backups) to places to eat near where they would be when they might be feeling hungry (with stars by the ones he had a voucher for). Do you overplan and does it ever actually go to plan?

Unwanted attention
On recent forays into the /offtopic portion of this website I have had to suffer the unwanted sexual leerings of noted sexpest and weepy sprinter "Richard Mcbeef". Have you ever had to deal with the online equivalent of a dog clamping onto your leg and rubbing up and down? How did you deal with it?

I recently discovered that I am magnetic
Small children just seem to be attracted to my penis. Also tablets seem to cling to my hands and I have to finger my own mouth to take them.
What is your super power that hasn't been written about by some shit comic. Perhaps you have the ability to smell the difference between chlamydia and herpes. Or you know a tv is on in the room before you enter the room (we can all do that so fuck off)
