What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bug bites.

Because while it's cool that I fell asleep reading Dracula and I woke up to find a crescent moon shaped series of bitemarks that looks like some cool nocturnal beastie was taking a nibble out of my belly, whatever it was set off an allergic reaction to the rest of the world and it's itchy, and I'm allergic to most allergy medications.

Mixed signals - especially from guys, and the resulting awkwardness. They're bad enough as it is, but why does it have to involve someone with whom I'll be working in Microbio lab for the whole term?

Falling asleep on the living room floor, suddenly waking up to realise that, and remembering that you were supposed to be working on a Microbio lab report.

I'm almost tempted to assign Microbio for indirectly causing these, but it's too cool for Mordor.

allergic to allergy medicine. . . .that is tragicomic.

I would probably laugh a bit if I did not know how awful alergies can be (and mine are not even that seriouse) and how much I love that medication.

That special kind of trouser spoiling fear that only comes with being driven at breakneck speed on a surreal route around the city centre by an elderly taxi driver who has an uncanny knack of making the car constantly lurch from side to side, ranting all the while about tax, braking hard behind other drivers, cutting up lorries on roundabouts, yelling about women drivers and going "Eh?!" at everything you say. In a torrential rainstorm.

I assign to Mordor unexpected delays that pile up from little things requiring you to do this and that to actually make you unable to accomplish anything you would wish to for days or weeks.

Rainstorms that lead to cancellations of barbeques and fireworks displays.

This Live Earth nonsense. I agree with the message but the coverage is appalling - I've sat there for two whole hours through some truly miserable tripe (including a dreadfully flat Chillis performance) to hear Metallica and they not only missed the beginning while they showed Enrique Ingelsias but they cut off Enter Sandman to show some highlights!!!! Blasphemy or what?!
