Himself. He knows I am trying to lose weight and he is continually offering me fattening food.

Teenage boys who don't wash up when asked and announce they are staying out for dinner half an hour after I have put food in the oven.

IT'S NOT A HOTEL!

The driver of a blue and silver citroen c2 who is too damn laxy to use the car park provided. The first note was left, he shoved it in someones garden, then the car used the carpark for one day, then the car was left in our road again. Note no.2 was left. This time he /she put the note on the car behind. Today the office security have left a note and taken a photo .....now its getting personal .

The evil barsteward of a driver who nearly mowed down a lady trying to pick up the body of a cat which had just been run over (thankfully he also avoided the cat). She was obviously trying to stop traffic and he actually brushed her as he barged through, because he couldn't stop for all of ten seconds. I used my car to hold up traffic while she scooped up the poor thing and noticed that the people who'd hit him had stopped, so good karma to them. Hope the evil one's car broke down under a heavy raincloud. >

The frustration of having friends going through hell and being too damned far away to give them a hug

Certain members of OH's family....

Barely have the time of day for us usually, only contact us when necessary, suddenly decide they cannot live without us...

And then I find out it's because they want to use our house to have a christening party in the week before Christmas (we have a bigger house than everyone else). Oh, and can we sort out the catering as well. Oh, and can we relocate the dogs for the weekend, as some of the guests don't like them. Oh, and by the way, the place they are having the christening in is an hours drive from our house.

Well, they bladdy can't! I will not have it and I don't care who I upset. I didn't buy a (slightly) larger house to be used as a free venue by people who don't actually care about me or my life. December is a stupidly hectic month and we are already busy every single weekend between now and Christmas, and I'm not cancelling any of my carefully arranged plans so that you can organise a christening as an afterthought so your children can go to a specific school.

If you want to have a christening and invite 40 people, then you can flipping well hire somewhere near the church, rather than expecting people to drive for an hour so you can treat my house like a free venue.

Buses

Yesterday - walked to Morrisons at lunchtime - a mile and a bit-ish - takes 20 mins at most. Not enough checkouts on as usual so didn't have time to walk back. £1.70 for a 5 minute journey in a straight line. Grrr.

Today - Doctors appointment - £1.70 for about 3 miles (same bus company). On the way back I got a service bus I've used literally hundreds of times, though admittedly not recently - expecting to be back at work about 9.30. Everything going fine till the bus turns right where it should go straight on. Turns out they changed the route about 3 months ago to go via the hospital. Waited 1/2 hour for a connecting bus to Old Aberdeen - eventually arrived at work an hour late and another £1.70 lighter.

And they want people to use public transport!!

pharmacies who give you tablets not caplets, and then won't change them without charging you another £7.20 for a new prescription

mardy cow in the pharmacy who acts like customers are a huge waste of her time. Well love, I won't waste your time any more, I'll go to Boots instead

[jackyspratty]

Fed up getting filthy looks off a mum in my sons playground! Shes been ignoring me and giving me evils since I pointed out that it was inappropriate for her as a school govonor to be refering to my son and his friend as "gay boys". He was 7 at the time! At that point she was presenting training on school policies and procedures relating to equal opps and anti bullying!!!

Not to mention that the dogs live there too and why should they be thrown out of their home/confined to one room for the benefit of strangers?
