Minor Rant Thread part 3

[jackie j]

Stupid idiot parked outside my house for days, car covered in snow, now ice, takes snow / ice off windscreen and throws it on the PAVEMENT. Its already a death trap he could have dropped it on the side of the road.

Power companies that state they will keep the money THEY owe Me as payment towards my future bills.
If they owe me then I am obviously paying too damn much in the first place.

Ours have done the same

My rant: Christmas shoppers who park across 2 spaces on the busiest day of the year. Have some respect for the rest of us!

Whenever our power company says this we call up and request the money is returned; never been refused yet!

My rant; people who take up whole aisles and pathways with their huge families, prams, all walking 5 abreast [at snails pace] rather than moving to let other people past. The world does NOT revolve around you you ignorant eejits.

when you wait patiently for a parking space and some silly tart comes and nicks it off you, then when you eventually park after watching her trying to reverse her snow encrusted car in and out and in and out,[and you do yours in one go in a transit van [much smugness from me] the same silly tart is standing in front of the machine stopping anyone else from using it even though she has her ticket in her hand because she can't work out why it doesn't have a sticky strip on it anymore!!! I ask you!!!

somehow in the pub tonight, despite being sober I have LOST my bladdy phone. I am utterly bugged without it. I have no landline. Its the only way my ex can hold of me if theres a problem with my little 'un. It has all my work numbers on it - Im self employed. I was getting a lift out tomorrow night but mates number is in the phone and TO TOP IT ALL I JUST BURNT MY TOAST RANTING

I have 12 people coming tomorrow - thousands of little jobs to do, masses of big jobs to do like moving furniture and fetching tables from the shed at the bottom of the garden... and an OH who now has the sick bug that my eldest boy is in bed with too.

What are the chances of getting the 3 yr old to help me today?!? Oh no he's still in bed too!

Now where did I put my list? -

* off to find superwoman cape and get started... and keeping everything crossed I don't succumb to the lurgae for tomorrow. I have had a sh*tty year and if I can't enjoy my boys opening their things tomorrow I will be VERY upset!

They do that to stop the next door cars scraping their paint

My rant: (only a little one) feeling I have to make a 'proper' veggie Xmas lunch, when all I really want is a baked spud. Am dreading the 'banter' from BiL tomorrow too, and having to stay put all day in MiL's house when none of them ever visits us for dinner. Plus the taxi will be near £50

Gordon bloody Ramsay, my ham looks sod all like his

Being called a control freak for prepping tomorrows dinner making trifle etc. Eldest really believes he has time to do it all in the morning.

At myself ........why didn't I label stuff in the freezer and why did I wait for it to get dark before looking for it.........now got frost bitten fingers

Air Algerie for a change. Up at 0430 this morning for a flight across the country for reasons too tedious to explain.
Called them, obviously no answer. Got ready to leave my flat at 5, called again, and this time it was answered. "Is the flight to In Amenas on time?" was my not unreasonable question, and it was answered in the affirmative.
Into the car, 20 minutes later on arrival I find there was a 3 hour delay.
Thanks, those extra couple of hours in bed would have been rubbish anyway.

Time!!!When your standing in a queue or stirring fudge it decides to stand still for a day or so....stuff to do and it steals back the time it gave you to be bored!

[bobleponge]

Being on my own at Christmas. I'm not normally affected by it, but have just spoken to the eldest 2 grandkids before they went up to bed (I sense no sleep for a long time) and I am now officially miserable.

[Jeanied]

Cheer up Bob, worse things have happened to some of us over Xmas, believe me - and Xmas is what you do, not what you have.
