I have introduced the receptionists at my place of work to  "3 second theatre". Their desk is in front of the lift (elevator), so you basically look at them as the lift door closes. That gives them three seconds to entertain, educate or generally catch attention - usually by pretending to be on the phone. Some of my favourites are:

    * "I'm telling you, he's not your father ... I'm pretty sure."
    * "Cancer. Definitely cancer ... no ... early July is Cancer."
    * "What kind of bomb?"
    * "There's a problem with the lift ... uh-huh ... oh! That sounds serious."
    * "I hear and obey ... Master ... I will do your bidding ..."

I've just come across my latest annoying thing. You go onto a video link from Fbook, less than 5 seconds into said video you get a bl**dy advert THAT YOU CAN'T DELETE!!! you have to wait for the whole 30 seconds or longer before the video will restart at the point it paused.

Open handed figures  that require you to attach the weapon with superglue.

This is especially true with  pikes in smaller scales, as the length of the pike and the fulcrum of where it is glues means, very little pressure is required t the top to break said weapon off.

Parents who use participation  games at wargames shows to "babysit" their offspring while they go round the show.

Message to all Parents

IF YOUR TAKING JUNIOR TO THE SHOW, BY ALL MEANS GET THEM INTERESTED IN A PARTICIPATION GAME - BUT STAY WITH THEM AND PLAY YOURSELF.

OOOHHHH!!! I am on a roll here


Children whose parents allow them to touch and pick up figures at wargames shows without asking if that's ok.  Then they are surprised when asked to pay for what the child has broken !!

Wargamers who fiddle with stuff on the stand for hours and hours and hours (only a slight exaggeration here)  with no intention of buying anything.  

P.S they are mainly te competition gamers who have their "Killer armies" so only buy occasionally when rule changes mean they need to modify or change their "Killer Army"

My eldest step daughter.!!!

Yes she is little and yes she is VERY irritating




P.S I am open to any reasonable offers to take her off my hands (That's reasonable in what I need to pay you)

Attractive 26 year old brunette, Nice bum (I know I should not notice, but hey!  I'm not related  ;) ) only works part time, naïve, loud, inherently lazy. Does not know how to cook or iron, will clean when heavily berated.  Needs high speed internet and constant phone connection. (suspects she even checks phone while having s*x)

Any takers ??  PLEASE.

That's what Mrs Orcs says too.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
