When you lend out a pen to someone and they chew the end of it and look offended when you then throw it in the bin. I don't want to use something with your saliva and teeth marks all over, that's utterly disgusting. Its a minor thing but it really irks me.

Also other people then lending my things out to someone else so that when I get back to my desk half of my shit has gone missing and I have to go hunt it down again.

Two extractions: half a curved root and a broken molar.

Nice dentist ladies.
Amazing view (Guys Hosp, 23rd floor)
Fortunately no stitches this time, and no jabbing of my lower lip with dental instruments.

But ... NINE injections (five on the bottom and four on the top) and ... ultimately ... two missing teeth I will never see again.

At this rate, in Amsterdam I may be blagging Steradent from Bodyguard

In fact, even as I was posting the whinge, I knew I was setting myself up for at least one remark typical of that. He'll keep

The cat who spewed the mouse the other day, has gone on to spew not one but two lots of cat biscuits.

However ...

... When my number one chaperone gave her some chicken tikka masala last night, she kept it down and hasn't spewed it at all.

Fuckin bastard cats.

I need to go back to having a dog. At least a dog will chunder and then eat it again afterwards.

Lettings agents

My daughter is moving into a student house. Letting agent requires a guarantor for the rent if she were to default. So far, so typical.

However the letting agent has not only insisted on credit referencing me but also wants information and hard evidence of my income. Well they can FRO.

Incidentally my Exquifax and Experian scores are excellent.

As a guarantor I am legally obliged to pay, my financial situation is irrelevant. I object to this gratuitous harvesting of personal data.

My dilemma is that by refusing to play their game I may jeopardise my daughter being able to move in.

Grrrrrrrrr

Play the game, then request all the information they have on you.

Watch out for signing anything that makes you "jointly and severally" liable, because if all the wasting scroungers bail out, you'll in principle be on the hook for the entire rent for the property.

Not that they've got much chance of enforcing it, but... careful now.

I wouldn't set up any of mine as HMOs. Too much headache. Mind you I don't rent to students in any case.
Too good at pissing their rent up the wall, not so good at looking after houses. For most it's their first time away
from mummy and daddy and they are way more interested in that than keeping the place clean and decent.
I do hope you weren't relying on the deposit money for anything else.

Of course, the DPS scheme is a given. My last experience of a student house wasn't great, (Mrs grr lived in one for a
very short time) nobody could cook so the kitchen was like the somme with enough burnt food on the cooker to make it
difficult to accurately count the hobs. A fridge full of out of date food growing mould and dirty dishes with half
eaten food left on pretty much every flat surface, there was never a plate in the cupboard, you'd have to go and find one,
then scrape it off before washing it assuming you could even get it under a tap bacause of a sink full of dirty pots
and pans. There was a weekly indoor spacehopper/flourbomb race which seemed to amuse them greatly, every
door was hanging off its hinges, all the sinks were blocked with god knows what, the gardens were completely
un maintained (reasonably maintaining the garden is in my tenancy agreements) and were 7ft high and counting
when the mrs sensibly left there. Not to mention it was BEDLAM pretty much around the clock which would have
been shite for the neighbours. It would have taken hundreds of pounds and a LOT of cleaning and repairs to make
that place lettable again after they rather disrespectrfully trashed it. The Mrs moved out after 4 weeks as she couldn't
study for all the racket. I doubt the remaining four saw their deposits come back at the end of the tenancy.
She moved in with a friend who worked and they shared a small flat above a tyre fitters (because it was quieter)
until she finished her degree. I usually credit check all over 18's living in one of my lets. Have never done the guarantor
thing before so I can't comment on that, if they fail a credit check then it's usually "keep looking" time for them.

other people's idea of kitchen hygiene, and especially those who think it's okay to wipe down surfaces with a dish cloth

Pissed of with diabetes and poo.

Sugars way too high even on a bland diet, Doctors are working on it. As for the poo, one day I could use it in a fountain pen and the next I could use it as a foundation block.
