Things that are making me cranky: many things! Twitter makes me cranky - people who tweet every 5 minutes, people who live tweet shows, people who decide to tweet 100x instead of writing an eljay post! My gran is making me cranky because she has taken to following me around the house and sitting on my bed whilst I am trying to make the most out of my 2.5 hours at home each night. This stupid train is making me cranky! Why does it take longer to get from P to C than it does from P to LONDON?? Why does it cost so much and why is the connect not cheaper?? WHY DO I HAVE TO STOP FOR 20 USELESS AND FREEZING MINUTES IN THE MIDDLE?????

Why is tumblr so lacking in netiquette? Why are my co-workers such accidental assholes? Why do people get so fucking wound up over a basic admin error? Hello, this is not a personal attack, it is human error. And you are rich to talk! You can't use a fucking apostrophe!

Despite my cut-what-thou-wilt attitude to eljay, why is it so hard to cut the people who annoy me the most but have known for a while? (Rectifying this shit as soon as I grow a pair.) Why do some people persist in making musing posts designed specifically to show off their levels of intellect? Did you notice..? Why, yes, I did notice that, I am just less of a cow than you. But, by all means, well done; your powers of observation are *stunning*. Aren't you a clever dickie?

Why do people ring up about forms they have to fill in? You get care, you have to pay for it. Your pension went up on Apr 12th like everyone else? You get reassessed, like everyone else. You resent having to pay for your care at all? Well, you can always opt out and pay for all your care without state intervention. You think it's appalling/disgusting? Great. I don't care. You are being helped with your bill. Suck up the cost or pay for it yourself. You are entitled to the same as everyone else - no more. You are not special.

GUYS I AM SO CRANKY TODAY AND IT'S ONLY 8AM. Fuck this shit.
