Annoyances XIII - When you can't tell if water is hot or cold...

...as it just caused your hand to tingle a little.

Well, the answer yesterday was that it was hot. Incredibly hot. So hot my hand still hurts.

Next time, i'm using a temperature probe.

Annoyances XII - Sleep

Why does my body work against me.

I know when I need to get sleep. I know when I want to wake up, and I know about 8 hours should be ok.

But obviously, my body decides that this isn't a good idea. It wants to keep me awake for the next 5 hours.

Then, when I have no reason at all to get up before it goes dark this evening, to wake me up at half 5 in the morning.

Half 5, ffs.

Annoyances XI - Hatred of traffic wardens

I could understand if an individual was ticketing people undeservedly, targeting vulnerable people, or something like that.

Ok, several parking regulations are daft, and it costs far too much to park in the city centre (I mean, it's not like they would want to encourage you to go in there, is it?).

But the thing is, they don't dictate parking regulations, and there needs to be someone going around penalising those who fail to abide by the regulations to act as a deterrent, otherwise carnage would ensue, and people would just park anywhere.

They are just doing their job, a job someone needs to do, so why all the abuse?

Considering the widespread disregard for parking restrictions, personally i'd say there isn't enough of them. Just because the double yellow lines are outside a Tesco, doesn't mean you can park there. Sorry.

Annoyances X - Pins and needles

Is there no other way our body can alert us?

I get it a lot, 5-6 times a day, and it's seriously annoying. Especially when it wakes you up. Like today.

Body, please stop doing it. Cheers.
