I HATE THAT TOO! That and when they climb on the machines. There was a trainer in the Australian biggest loser who was really petite and at the start of the series she was sitting on the part of the treadmill where the controls/buttons are when the contestant worked out. It would piss me off so much because it can't…

We implemented something similar at my work. I would yell or leave a note to the effect of "hey everyone, it looks like shit storm in the spare office but they are just my files and they'll be like that for another few days please don't tidy them". Remarkably effective.

I got asked "and you don't plan to have any children or travel anytime soon do you?" by a fucking lawyer who should know better. I was young and wanted the job so i said "no". Unfortunately, I got the job. I got out of there after I saw that they were taking steps to try and fire the second pregnant woman in the…

I would need a fucking mountain of Valium in between being told there were maggots in my head and getting the surgery. I stepped on an ants nest once and ants ran up the leg of my pants and I could feel imaginary ants on me for days.

That is awesome. Thank you. I will now be referring to her as my eskimo sister in a very matter of fact tone.

I know the feeling! I dated a guy that had a semi high profile (in my home country, not America) relationship with a (kind of)celebrity but thanks to a significant age difference between him and I, I never knew about it until a friend mentioned it after we broke up. Now, when I see her in a magazine, I think we are…

I am probably wrong but if I'm not it was Australia's first ever gold in the Winter Olympics. Which, for some reason I find even funnier. His post-race interviews were hilarious.

I like your thinking, I picked a pair up recently and made a price assumption based on weight, I was wrong. I almost fell over when a guy I know paid just under $200 for what I would consider "thick foot gloves" to run in. In Australia I did a lot of fun runs and would always see a handful of people running barefoot.…

I thought they must've been doing that, thank you. I'm a huge sucker for a gimmick, I remember a decade back wanting the really bouncy/shock absorbing Nikes.

Thank you! Yes, those. I wasn't very specific - I just want the sexy shoes all the cool people at my gym have! I don't buy sports shoes often because they are expensive in my home country and prohibitively expensive in my new home.

My boyfriend has been grumpy and distant all week so I (stupidly) decide to approach him about it right on bedtime and have started a huge thing and now I'm sleeping on the uncomfortable couch. Ugh. What a stupid way to spend Saturday night.

I've had two all dude share houses in my life and I think it's a great living arrangement but the first bathroom clean is just. The. Worst.

I remember hearing her and Bob on Australian radio and they were really critical of the biggest loser format especially the games where you eat fatty foods to get immunity. I'm sure she mentioned something along the lines of it's more about entertainment and the producers want drama etc. I can't remember what else but…

I have a mate in the sates and I was following along with the temperatures when the polar vortex hit until someone explained that -40F was the same as -40C which is when I gave up.

Holy shit, that would do my effing head in! I'm Australian so we use the metric system but I always thought it must be a pain for you guys when I'd hear Americans quote race distances in km instead of miles.

Thank you for the perspective. I am having my first European winter in France and I am miserable everyone keeps saying it's not so bad (we haven't even had snow). I think the problem is that I left my home country during the end of winter to arrive here for the start of winter. Double winter, ugh!

I think it has to do with your personality. Like o- means you're organised (I made that up) when I visited Japan a few people I met asked me my blood type within a few hours of meeting me. I didn't know my blood type then and everyone was really disappointed.

Seriously! I effing pains me so much that Fruitvale Station didn't get a nod. Ugh!

I'm on my third meal in a row of fajitas because I didn't realise I'd be home alone this week. I get so upset at throwing out food and luckily my boyfriend and I are on the same page about it (if I think it's a bit old he'll usually eat it and there is no consequence because his stomach is made of iron). I've just…

Ugh! I feel for you. My friend got put on a restrictive diet after surgery that was something like no soy, dairy or gluten. I remember I wanted to cook her something to cheer her up and the soy and dairy restriction was the hardest because if you can't have dairy then you get soy of course! That and her grocery bill…
