Grumpy old Git

[Two_Sheds]

Mothers who give their sprogs crisps for breakfast: and tell them to drop them in my garden.

People who think it's OK to bib their horn outside my house at 2am.

Taxi-drivers who think it's OK to block the road while they pick up a fare.

People who push and shove in shops (it's always old people)

Old people who stand REALLY close to you in the post office queue (have you not heard of personal space? And touching my butt with your handbag won't make the cashier go any faster)

I could go on ...

You're a pack of grumpy auld gits! And proud of it by the sound of it!

At what age do become old two sheds my mother hates being called old & she is 80(could pass for 70 on a good day)
Some of the younger generation would think I'm old & I'm only 60.

Yep done the training, passed the exams(with flying colours)now going for my Phd.

It's more of an attitude than an actual age: it's that look on the face that says "I lived through the war, so I can do whatever I want"

Personally, Gold medal standard for England.

Someone earlier complained about dog owners not cleaning up after their pets (I think).

We live in a village, and the local council has provided pedestrian footpaths. Why can't we walk on them? Because they are usually covered with horse muck.

They are pedestrian footpaths NOT bridle paths.

i expect here will catch up soon, but we have very little to be grumpy about ....only really have one big moan and that is that drivers dont slow down to 50 kilometres when they get to the village (as you are meant to) and as we live on the edge of the village (second house) they sometimes scream past our house especially at night .....otherwise ......things are Ok and i used to moan like mad in London about all sorts of c***

Dog poo on pavements..and peeps not saying thankyou in their cars when you let them through!

Have to say..over here- they have a good stare ....cos they think it's a headless driver who has let them in ( right hand drive!)

[Sprocket*]

The man who lets his dog poo outside my allotment gate and then swears at me because I offered him a poo bag as he had obviously forgotten his!

The shop assistants that make you feel like it is too much trouble to serve you!

Old women in the M&S sale who wrench items from your hands whilst kicking you in the shins....agggggghhhhh!!!

The person who invented umberellas - I am tall and sick of getting them pocking my eyes out.

I really could go on but I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about it. Do I get membership of the grumpy old gits club as I am 31 and 8 mths....?

Shovel it up and distribute it outside his lottie gate.

My sister followed the woman who let her dog poo outside her gate to see where she lived, then went back and shovelled it up and deposited it on the woman's door step but patted it firmly down

Sis and I have 5 dogs between us and ALWAYS have bags and pick up.

People who treat the park like a dog toilet. I'm very slow to annoy, but people who pull up in their cars, and watch their dogs cr*p all over the place where children and toddlers play... That makes me very cross.

I can't think of anything else.

Oh on the note of cars letting you in/giving way. I was driving along a narrow lane where a row of cars coming up the road had stopped to let me drive through. After signalling thanks with a wave to the first 2 cars I was yelled abuse by the 3rd car driver saying a loud THANKYOU in a very angry tone. What did they expect me to wave thanks to every car waiting ?? I am not sure that would be very safe on a narrow winding road! Some people just get out of bed expecting to moan for the whole day!

I agree that bad manners and habits are horrid though. But if people go about their day with a smile they will often get many smiles in return.

...people who stand REALLY close to you in the post office queue (have you not heard of personal space? ..

oh I HATE that so much

If someone does that to me, I wait for a while to move forward (so that there is a space between me and person in front of me), then when Personal Space Stealer sticks to my back I step backwards and stand on their toes - 'oh sorry' says I - always makes them move back

Some more pet hates, women that dangle there buggies of the edge of the pavement into the road, ipods being played so loud you can hear them yourself, people that don't know how to use indicators on there car's and the one that really gets my goat...Mobility Scooters on the road, one ran over a little girl near use not long ago, it was on the local news and the elderly lady said "she didn't see the child", sorry but if she didn't see the child, she souldn't be let loose with a scooter. Grrrrrrr.

I always hold doors for people, always have. Now when they don't bother to say thank you, I now say into their ear "Hey, don't mention it! Oh, you didn't!"

I normally just shout "You're Welcome!".

When idiots glued to their phones bump into me and mumble "Sorry" I reply "YEAH, me too".

Thank God I don't have to commute up to London any more, my big bug-bear was people who stand in front of the opening doors to get onto tube trains when there are loads of people trying to get off. Brought back my rugby palying days, lower the shoulder and away we go, Numptys!
