Dear All

Hello

Hope you are well and doing okay.

So what makes you especially mad or grumpy?

Are you a Victor Mildrew from the TV programme in the making?

Do you get more madder now than a few years ago?

Take care
Very best wishes

What makes me really mad is when I read stories about animal cruelty. I just don't understand why people do that. The punishments should be much greater than they are.

i dont get so mad now
but i do get mad
think my tablets have dampened down my rage,

i now just get really cross,
and want everyone to get on and be happy
and do what i can to help,

tho i should learn i cant fix everything

Hi Elizabeth,

Women who allow their bratty misbehaved kids run riot in restaurants and supermarkets.

I often go to Pizza hut and the way some of the brats behave in there and their doting mothers don't stop them really get my goat.

Don't get me wrong, Kids are great, BUT.

Not knowing who Victor Meldrew is ... or who Archie Mitchell is ...



In other words - just about everything!

;)

But seriously ...

Start with having to up in the morning, I guess.

But seriously ...

It pretty much comes down to people acting with disregard for anyone and anything (yes, including animals) but themselves. Even if I'm not the one getting the dirty end of their stick.


George - do the children have no fathers?? Or are the fathers down the pub, or watching the foobtall, while the women are stuck with the brats ...

I agree with Annie about animal cruelty.Also child cruelty,abuse or neglect.
At the moment I feel cross about the damage and vandalism that has been done to our church building.I also feel like screaming at the amount of litter that ends up at my front door.Cigarette ends,sweet wrappers,scratch cards,drink cans,plastic bags,crisp packets and random other rubbish.I am just 3 doors away from the supermarket but thats no excuse.I get fed up with constantly picking it all up only to look out a half hour later and it's as bad again.The adults are as bad as the children.
....there moan over for today.Wish I could put it all in room 101

Janey C, I often wonder about that as well....

Unfortunately i have only seen the brats playing up when they are with their mothers, probably wouldn't dare do it when with their fathers.....then again I don't know.

I think a lot of respect has gone nowadays and parents seem to let their kids run riot, the kids show no respect for their parents and parents don't teach their kids how to respect others.....perhaps an age we live in.

George don't you think that the children who show no respect have parents who also show no respect. Difficult to blame the kids when they have no decent role models. I have noticed that if a child is shouting at its parent, the parent invariably 'talks' in a shouting voice too.

Just what I have said.

Have just managed to read the daily paper, there is an article in the mail relating to a assistant nursery manager, she force fed small children till they were sick, and then made them eat what they brought up, kicked and pushed them........and forced a dummy into one childs mouth so hard that her gums bled!..........I could not read any further I wanted to punch her lights out!!

There is a photograph of her coming out of court SMILING.......Grrrrrrrrrrr

Ann that is so awful I can't think of words as to how it makes me feel.

I saw that, words fail me, what a monster, and to come out of court laughing! I do hope that what goes around comes around and she gets pay back for all the little ones she has upset.

When people make phone calls at inappropriate times. Because I do arts and crafts type work, I work as I need to (sometimes until quite late at night) and with craft fairs etc usually being at a weekend, if I'm doing a fair I'm working at the weekend.

But . . . my current annoyance is the fact that I get business-related phone calls at ridiculous times, like 10.30pm. Up to 7pm I could understand but it boggles me that people genuinely think it's acceptable to make work related calls that late at night. So I'm screening my phone calls and phoning them back at "normal times" instead.

I've actually had phone calls where the caller has said, "You weren't about to go to bed, were you?" - I reckon if you have to ask that of somebody, it genuinely is too late at night!

George I agree with you, had to fend one off from running over my recently operated on foot the other day. I have seen fathers, when they have been present try to control the children......you can guess what their wives said....... something to the effect of leave them, they're not doing any harm!!

Another Ann

We had a toddler running about in the surgery waiting room the other day. Mum was running and fetching him from the corridors to the drs rooms and also from the front door, but she had no control over him at all, and he wasnt old enough to talk! NOT the way I brought mine up!

Low blood sugar I think from the row we had in the car in the car park at Lidl this afternoon because I had gone out shopping when I was hungry.

It could just be OH who makes me grumpy.

Well,I must truly have the rats today because I have just watched the Michael Woods programme about the mediaeval peasant and the strange background music,sort of thumping and droning,was driving mre demented.

What a jolly soul!

Oh Lord,,,,where do I start,,

The dustbin men who leave my bins up the street,
People who block the aisles in supermarkets having a good gossip.
The kids who live up the street who play football on MY front because there idiot parents dont want their cars damaged by a rogue football.
Mouldy veg
Blocked drains
The queue in the bank,,why folks have to have personal conversations with their bank-clerk friends
Folks who insist on packing ALL of their shopping and loading up the trolley before getting their purse out,,,and then buggering about with the credit card machine,
Mondays,

Dear All

Hello

What a lot of cheery replies!!

Thank you all very much for the responses.

I identify with 'em all!

I personally hate call centres where the automated voice tells you to be patient and what number you are in the queue.

Your phone bill is going up paying for the privilege of being kept waiting!

Well time for role call, so folks....lets be careful out there!
(Think 1980's, TV series "Hill St Blues").

Take care all
Very best wishes

I bruise very easily, still, and I am covered in bruises every time I come home from the supermarket, from people banging their trolleys into me in the check out queue... it drives my poor husband nuts, and I swear he will throttle someone one day!

So I do my shopping on the internet... or go alone, which I find a bit of a struggle, still. Most of the time, anyway

Especially if someone is coughing and sneezing all over me, lol

Oh.... and spitting... I hate to see that... I don't know what I am walking in, and what germs I am bringing into my home..... and I have a poor immune system, too, so am very vulnerable to lots of things

There are some things I really get mad about that deserve a thread of their own... but I am too cross about it to add details just at the moment!

Love

Daff xxx
