Small problems compared to some, but meh.
HOW did I lose my iPod on a trip to Scotland?
Arrived there last weekend, had it on the train. Went shopping with my friend on the Saturday evening I arrived. Either Sunday/Monday morning, couldn't find it. Or the headphones. I asked at the police station, I asked at all the shops in the precinct my friend and I went to on the Saturday, I called the train company's lost property office. Nope, nothing. I only got it in December, as a Christmas present.
It is SO RARE for me to actually lose things like this. Usually if I can't find something, it's *somewhere* in my room, under mounds of stuff, which makes it all the more annoying when I actually DO properly lose something, because I am so careful with my things. I'm the sort of person who double or triple-checks that I've got my keys/phone/purse/fob for work before I leave the house, even when I know they're in my pocket. GAH. All someone had to do was hand it in!
Guy I was dancing with in the club on Thursday. (I'm 23, and for me and a lot of people I know, it's pretty common to end up at least kissing someone when clubbing. Just to provide context.) Yes, I enjoyed dancing with you. But when I pretty much directly ask for a few kisses (hey, if you don't ask, you don't get), I'd prefer an equally direct response, instead of, "
maybe... if you ask the DJ to play song xyz."
I was
interested in getting a snog, not
desperate. I was having a good night regardless. So yes I walked away and started dancing by myself, and later, with other people.
Also: 7-hour train journey from the north of Scotland to central London to go home. That's OK in itself, I've done it before - and it's far better than going by Megabus. So, I deliberately book the QUIET COACH. I put my phone and anything else on silent so as not to disturb anyone else. I take along magazines.
But still, at every point in the journey, there is at least one group of people constantly talking!
Seriously? The train guard/driver announces at each station we stop at, which coaches are the quiet coaches, and there are signs on the windows. But no, there are always some people who seem to think they're exempt, and carry on chatting loudly for hours at a time. GRRR.
What made one group even more annoying, was that at one point, on of them stage-whispered to the rest, "Shh, this is the quiet coach. Some people specifically book this coach for the quiet, so no talking." Cue giggling and return to loud conversation.
There were at least 6 other coaches to choose from when booking tickets, why choose the QUIET coach if you wanted to chat?
