Minor Rant Thread part 3

[Two_Sheds]

Suicidal flaming teenagers! They are a ruddy nuisance on cycle lanes, now I have to deal with them on the roads too. Yesterday, walking 8 abreast on the road, backs to traffic, oblivious.

Today, one young lad on a bike - no lights, no reflectors, black clothing. Totally invisible until the last moment.
Round the next corner - 2 girls, about 13, dressed in black walking on an unlit country lane with heavy traffic (due to diversion), walking with their backs to traffic. Totally invisible. I pulled alongside them and said to walk on the other side so at least they could see oncoming cars, because drivers sure as h*ll couldn't see them.
Parents, fgs knock some sense into their heads

We have a keep-fit fanatic/race cyclist round here - always racing around the lanes on his bike - REALLY fast - in black lycra! Invisible against a dark hedge and dark road - even in broad daylight! If I'm ever going the same way as him, I'll stop and give him a Hi-viz...

I'm getting a bit miffed with my library now: whenever a book comes out that I fancy, my local branch don't stock it so I have to pay 55p to get it. Every single time - the two branches nearest to me don't stock anything new or interesting. I've just checked availability of my latest 'want' ... one branch has 4 out of 8 copies, not fair

We've made a Charitable Donation to a laboratory. My Boss wanted to go and formally present this to them, take photos etc etc (a nice bit of PR hoopla). Which I have had arranged for well over a month.

Now (1/2 hour before we are due to leave), my Boss has asked me to cancel - all because the Charity can't spare us more than an hour!!! They're a busy laboratory doing important work!!!Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

20 year old stepsons who are too bloody idle to pick their clothes up off the spare room floor....he's already been told his washing won't be getting done unless he brings it down himself....FFS they must think I have nothing better to do

OH's who treat your good news with the usual indifference and the usual cop out line of 'your happy so I'm happy'...he needs to find a new one. Will confess to the sin of jealousy when other girls on my course have OH's that have got them some flowers or a bottle of wine as a 'well done' treat...will buy my own, but its not the same. Will keep future results to myself.

Cars proving a sod to sort out - but will keep at it till its sorted

Leave them there Kirsty. I did with Mr Z's DD and she has starting taking them home for washing. Result!

My Rant; feeling better for days and then feeling lousy again. Won't this s***ing flu bug thingy go away and stay away.

14/16/42 year old males, who have no sense of direction... If you can't hit the bloody pot, then either SIT DOWN or learn to wash the floor!!!!

[binley100]

Back to basics Sarz.......float a ping pong ball in there for them

Companies who expect you to put your life on hold while you wait for them to let you know your rota........

[tiachica]

People who do not know how to use the BC in emails, or know when not to use "reply all" or know how not to choose the company wide email distribution list as the recipient or the notification that for somebody's birthday there is cake in the fridge 1st floor stavanger office.

Sorry TC - but that's funny!

[Mikey]

Well I'm glad you got it G4, I only got the cake in the fridge part.

Is it chocolate?

My rant today, is customers who want the deal of the century, but only want to pay for it over a very protracted timescale. Come on, play fair.

[shirlthegirl43]

People who tell you not to worry about regular chores so that you get your knitting orders done then when you tell them you have done exactly that start going on that chores need to be done!

[shirlthegirl43]

Dozy drivers who can't watch what is coming up behind them and then pull out while being overtaken - shoving my hubby into the armco!!!!!

[FionaH]

Is MM ok?.........
