Minor Rant Thread part 3

[taff]

oops, chatted....

[Jelliebabe]

being "uninvited for interview" based on a poxy Personality type stupid checklist... even though I did "REALLY WELL" on the other much harder test - Jeez it was a list of attirbutes for gawdsake! Poxy 'merican company...

[OverWyreGrower]

Car salesmen who can't speak to prospective buyers who are female without being condescending....

[Seahorse]

Parents at school who when I very politely ask them not to park on the yellow zig zags outside the gate say:

''there's nowhere else to park''

''I'm not going to run anyone over, I'm parked''

''it's only for a minute or two''

''it's not a double yellow line, so that means you're allowed to park''

''I'm not bothered, the police won't do anything anyway''

''the lines are faded, so it doesn't count''

''why do you care?''

And that's just this week's ignorant, selfish laziness

''I'm not bothered, the police won't do anything anyway''

Put them on you tube. The police have finally taken action round here: they've covered all the zigzags with police "no parking" cones

My rant is pot holes, and the council officer who asked me to be more accurate in my reporting of them, ie to state width and depth of each. Tell you what, give me the tarmac and I'll fill them myself

Not wanting to chat on this thread but we have just had a week of the police and traffic wardens cracking down on selfish parents parking on the zig zags and double yellows outside my daughters school.

All they did was ask them politely to move on (while their own police car was parked on the double yellow). The following week all the usual suspects were back doing it again.

They will soon shout when its their kids that get hurt, when they sit in their cars on the yellow lines holla their kids across the fairly busy road without even lifting the lazy backsides out of the car!!!

This is a primary school of 7 - 11 year olds, on a junction and a bus route!

Park round the effin corner and effin walk you lazy "£$£$%£$&$%^*%^%$

Cor soz .... it peas me off!

[Seahorse]

At the risk of chatting I could go on and on about this!

Munch - stick at it, we're working on the principle that both the selfish gits and the police will get bored of us complaining before we do!

T_S - not thought of You Tube before but we have now

Just because small children could die - doesn't mean that we can relax the no chat on the rant thread rules.

Think on you lot....

My rant, flaming scrap men who are asked to take away an old automatic washer, a fridge and a stainless steel tea earn and decide to steal an 8 foot long galvanised steel Catnic lintel I had procured for my new home!

They have said they'll fetch it back and if they don't ............I'll get the law involved!

Is it chatting to agree that "yes I'll rant about that too"?
Not having kids at school doesn't stop me wanting to rant about the same stupid, selfish, lazy £%$%$&%^&&*. It could be my OH who can't see the child in time to stop, because of them (yes, he'd be going slowly, but it still takes several feet to stop, and even at walking pace, in a collision between child and car, the child is likely to get injured)

[Two_Sheds]

rules is rules

My rant is MEN who moan like heck about having a little cold, but IGNORE serious symptoms for years, and when they finally go to the quacks it turns out to be REALLY SOMETHING WRONG ! Get it checked people

[Florence Fennel]

Snow ruining my plans again!

[janeyo]

blood sucking nurses (phlebotomists) who yank the tourniquet thing round your jumper and not just your arm and leave a flaming hole in it. The jumper, not your arm.

And aforementioned blood suckers who take 5 goes to get blood from me depsite me telling them the vein to use as I always have problems getting blood out - but NO they know best - arms and back of wrists as they had to try there too... REALLy sore tonight.

Hearing the nurse say 'ooh bugger I've missed it, you were right they are tricky, I didn't believe you at first' does not make it right! Like I would make that up for FUN

[FionaH]

Bladdy exhaust falling off bladdy car! Enough now!

[SarzWix]

Janey, mine are terrible too. I now travel to the phlebotomy dept with a heated wheat bag down my sleeve, along the inner arm - warming it up brings the veins to the surface. It's worked every time for the last half dozen visits, whereas I usually get the whole elbows/wrists/hands palaver...
