Graffiti!! It's everywhere in the beautiful city where I live.

The tradesmens vans parked right opposite the end of our drive.

There is no reason why they can't park 3 or 4 feet either side as there are very few other vehicles parked on the road ,and it makes it soooo awkward backing out. It's been going on almost daily for 9 months now. We'll be really glad to see the back of them when the work is finished. (not our house, the empty one opposite)

after saying i dont get so mad these days, i discovered i lied,
sorry folks
i really didnt think i did,

but im human ive realised, and yeh i do get mad,
i get mad at rudeness from people who think they can speak to you like your a servant,

i get mad at people who think cos your trying your best to be nice and just do the right thing, and to help , basically thoughtful and kind,
somehow they think they got the god given right to accuse you of interfering,
argghh, sorry i just gave away my bug bear,

i would love to see that new show, grumpy old women,
cos i think ive reached that phase at 46

Hello

Ouch! Shopping trolleys of all descriptions should be banned under health and safety act!

As for spitting, YUK! and a double YUK!

Take care all
Very best wishes

lol Joanne.... yep, I agree with Jean...... find him a hobby, lol

I have started *training* hubby already... even though he has 7 or 8 years to go, and could now stay on at work until he is 70, so add another 5 years to that.... he has his own computer room..... and he likes to potter in the garden these days.... which he didn't like before! ;¬))

Elizabeth, I do apologise for going off topic... back on track again.... I am in a very grumpy mood this minute, because twice in 24 hours one of the things that really makes me grumpy has happened.... and so I am probably going to have to log off to stop myself saying things I will regret, lol

Love

Daff xxxx

ps, have a lovely weekend.... the sun is supposed to be coming oput to play, so that should make us grumpy bods a little more cheerful, lol! xxx

Joanna, find him a hobby, quick!

A newly-retired husband.
Need I say more??

Joanna

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

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

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,

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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.

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

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

Just what I have said.

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.
