to be pissed off when people have to check?

[bogeyface]

Actually, one person in particular.

"Whats up?"

"The weed burner wont light automatically, its my fault I forgot to put it away last night and I think it has got damp, I'll light it with a spill"

"Let me have a look" proceeds to turn on the gas, attempt to use the auto light switch, it doesnt work, turns gas off. All the things, in fact, that I have just done.

I AM NOT A LIAR OR AN IDIOT! If I say it wont light because it is damp, what on earth will your magic touch do?!

FFS!

^Right, it could have so many uses! BBQ wont light? 'Good job I bought that weed burner!' Teenage DCs wont get out of bed? 'I'll just go get the weedburner...' Zombie attack? 'Good job I bought 12 weedburners!'

(eyes 3 foot high patch of nettles in garden with new confidence. I shall BURN YOU! Mmmwahaha!)

you picked one shaped like a cock! Does that say something about you?

Yes, yes it does.

YADNFBU, It gets my furry goat, especially if for a minute I think it is on any sexist basis at all.

And I never, ever do it, no sirree.

Dh just called and said he's bought me a weed burner from Aldi!

Report back about whether you and him both play Aliens!

He's not home till after 7pm tonight, I have ages to wait.
