They'd be right though!
Spandex, Lycra or elastane is a synthetic fibre known for its exceptional elasticity. It is stronger and more durable than natural rubber. It is a polyether-polyurea copolymer that was invented in 1958 by chemist Joseph Shivers at DuPont's Benger Laboratory in Waynesboro, Virginia. When introduced in 1962, it revolutionized many areas of the clothing industry.
The name "spandex" is an anagram of the word "expands". It is the preferred name in North America; in continental Europe it is referred to by variants of "elastane", i.e. élasthanne (France), Elastan (Germany), elastano (Spain), elastam (Italy) and elastaan (Netherlands), and is known in the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and Israel primarily as Lycra. Brand names for spandex include Lycra (made by Koch subsidiary Invista, previously a part of DuPont), Elaspan (also Invista), Acepora (Taekwang), Creora (Hyosung), INVIYA (Indorama Corporation), ROICA and Dorlastan (Asahi Kasei), Linel (Fillattice), and ESPA (Toyobo).

You, get a brain and stop making us look like an embarrassment, just go away and take your rancid, skidmarked chair with you

I know your job sheet says to fill the paper towel dispenser.
But that doesn't mean to ram it so full of paper towels that it's impossible to get a paper towel out of it without first tearing about 10 of them into tiny shreds...

It turns out. My delivery was in Oldbury which is 126miles away from where I live.... Looks like some muppet has sent it to the wrong depot to be delivered. self-gratification artists.
At least it was nothing mission critical that i needed.

Oh I'm sorry. Your ownership of a large Audi does not mean the highway code is suspended. Now get your arse out of the way.
