Hiya all!
So what do you think are the 10 most stressful things in the real world?
Write them down and post them to me here, also if you would, with the name of the continent you live on, but this is optional so you don’t have to.

If you can’t think of ten, which I’m sure you can , this is the real world we’re talking about here , post as many as you can think of.

I’ll publish the results on my page after Christmas sometime, but this depends on how many results I get

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

1) ALARM CLOCKS!!!! No number of BLEEPS could possibly express how much I despise them!
2) Posters that keep falling down a couple of hours after you put them up no matter how much blue tack you damn well use!
3) When people (we all do it) make the same point over and over and over and over and over and over again in an argument without listening to the thing you said that clearly just made that point irrelevant
4) Losing arguments!!
5) Dogs making sweet love to your leg.
6) Stuff not working
7) Microsoft being crap
8) Having to tidy my room
9) when stuff falls on my head
10) When people don't even pretend to care about anything happening in the world.

Here a few stressful things:

1. Shopping trolleys
2. Travelling on the underground
3. Filling in Forms
4. Waiting for a bus or train
5. Trying to use a street/road map
6. Waiting in Doctors surgeries
7. The dentist
8. Needles especially blood tests
9. Paying at a checkout
10.Job Interviews
11.Trying to learn something new on your own at adult further education classes and not have any one to help you.
12.Yahoo email
