Trivial bugbears

[Pamplemousse]

Another one for me is that I got used into a mammoth disagreement with a classroom assistant at school back in the early 90s who always spelt 'potato', 'tomato', etc with an 'e' on the end, and when I told her it was incorrect she said 'how dare you!' and got extremely arsy with me over it!

I believe that one turned up with a US Presidential candidate.

There was an incredibly fearsome maths teacher at my secondary school - quite the "character" but actually okay in classes.

He once gave us a maths test (this be what I'd call my first year) and he got an answer wrong. NONE of us dared challenge him, so I only got 19 out of 20 in that test - well, it was 20 but you know where I'm coming from.

I remember playing Dungeons & Dragons RPG many years ago and one of the monsters was a Bugbear.

Why?

Maybe try and be less annoyed by trivial stuff.

Because most of us aren't perfect (or think we are).

Yeah, stuff that one person may be concerned about is likely to pale into insignificance as far as another is concerned (and vice versa).

Trying to be less annoyed by trivial stuff isn't being 'perfect'.

Is somebody here autistic?

[pulisa]

Yes-Lencoboy is on the spectrum.

Exactly... but I guess it's comes down to poTAYto/poTAHto thing. Life is too short to let trivial things, whatever they are to you, ruin your day is all.
