Mouth Ulcers and Canker Sores

This week, I happened to discover a ghastly canker sore in my mouth. I do believe mouth ulcer and canker sores are the most inconvenient infections. I've never had canker sores before, so I freaked out thinking it was some sort of tumour. In reality mouth ulcers and canker sores are non-contagious, and can be caused by a multitude of factors. What I'm angry at right now is my inability to eat, sleep or smile because of the tiny pulsating glob on my lip.

In fact, canker sores are very common affecting nearly 20% of the population. They are more common in young adults and teens. It's not uncommon to find canker sores in the mouths of teens under immense exam stress. Women are more likely than men to get them. Some home remedies include a milk of magnesia solution, teabags placed on the lip or a 'swish and spit' salt solution. At the end of the day there is no cure for them, so you just have to suffer for the 2 weeks they take to disappear. Just great!

Fragment Consider Revising

A phrase annoying as the little word paper clip himself. Fragment Consider Revising has plagued word documents for years. What's worse is that fragment consider revising is only a mere suggestion by the helpful word therefore, even when you continue to ignore his most helpful suggestions he'll just keep offering the same advice, with no real explanation as to what the grammatical offence is.





It typically means that you are missing the noun subject of a sentence or the verb. It will also come up if an offending sentence is a just a clause, e.g. "If the boy were walking his dog". It will also show up if a sentence is too wordy with lots of parenthetical expressions without the proper use of commas, semicolons, colons , etc

Queuing

Now this is a common grievance, i know this to be true because everyone knows it to be true like the sky is blue and grass is green. Queues especially anger people because of what they represent. The most common being that here you are queuing for commonly a bank or post office to access a service that inevitably you have or will have to pay for. The Catch 22 of our daily lives. Queues represent time wasted, that society has deemed necessary to run our day to day lives.





People waste more than 5 months of their lives queuing.

On average the Brit will wait in line at the bank or post office for 27 minutes each month, and even queuing at cash machines wastes almost 25 minutes a month. Just reading the statistics is enough to make you angry!

Late Public Transport

Wherever you are in the world, whether it be bus train tram or even a tuk tuk no one likes standing out in the elements waiting for that train or bus that should've arrived 4 minutes ago. Public transport grievances have been staple conversations for many generation and continues to be one of the many things that we can neither live with nor without.



About 60 billion passenger journeys were made by public transport in 2008 in the EU-27. This figure refers to local public transport, including urban, suburban and regional public transport services. Considering the total EU population, this represents about 120 public transport journeys per inhabitant per year. Demand for public transport is not distributed evenly across the European territory. For instance, in the medium and large sized cities included in the Mobility in Cities Database, the number of public transport journeys was about 300 per inhabitant per year.

Pins and Needles

You're sitting there- working away quite comfortably
and suddenly something goes numb, whether it be your butt or leg or hand
but suddenly you're up doing a litte jig trying to get rid of the stupid feeling and you're getting crazy looks from everyone




The medical name for feeling pins and needles in your fingers is ‘paraesthesia‘. Paraesthesia is a sign that sensory nerves in the area of the tingly sensation are being irritated – sometimes this condition is combined with small colour variations in the hand (pink/yellow spots). The condition may be the result of a disease or damage to the nerves themselves, damage to the blood supply, or disease of the surrounding tissues (arthritis the nerves themselves get affected). Millions of people in the developed world suffer on the feeling of having pins and needles in the hands & fingers – and often the conditions is associated by the people with RSI.

I don't actually have a fun fact for you, but I really do not like her. Possibly the most annoying child star ever created

Mondays

Yeah, i'm yet to find a normal person who doesn't feel a pinch of pain at the thought or mention of monday, the only people who like them are those eternal optomists, and lets get real we hate them too. Maybe it's because monday is the furthest day from the weekend, or maybe you never want the weekend to end, and monday is always a rude slap in the face..






Research has shown that weekend lie ins on saturday and sunday, throw off your body clock, making you more likely to wake up late on monday, putting you in a shitty mood. This so called 'sleep debt' which you rack up during the week and use the weekends to catch up on increases fatigue throughout monday and tuesday
