Minor Rant Thread part 3

[kirsty b]

OK a few little ones so I'll get them all off chest at once...

1) Washing - where the bloody hell is it all coming from? Pickle has been in PJ's solidly for a few days cos she was poorly, the stepson has been out romancing (and stopping out ) and I have been dossing in trackie bottoms unless I have to leave house and I'll keep wearing stuff while its clean enough to wear, not throwing it in wash if I have so much as looked funny at it!

2) sick boilers/water tanks - don't know which is ill, but the noise it/they are making is making me fear explosion is imminent! Looks like a call to housing association in morning, just hope something gets done.

3) My current bout of sleeplessness getting me down. Don't know why, cos things are actually good at mo, but even though tired can't switch off until I am so exhausted I just drop, then wake feeling as though not rested. need to learn some relaxation techniques and fast!

Sympathies to both LL and OWG, not easy situations to deal with.

Just for a change I'm going to rant at Air Algerie. This morning I should be typing this from Marseille, before hopping on a plane to Nantes, collecting my little car and driving home, being sat in my kitchen before midday, and getting stuck into the aperos.
Thanks to aforementioned airline I am still in Algiers. My flight out of nowheresville was over 5 hours late, meaning I missed my connection to Marseille.
I mentioned this in the plane to the trolly dolly, asking her if she could speak to the ground crew to let them know I was going to be seeking hotel accommodation once I landed.
Her face defied description. She couldnt understand the logic of a passenger missing his connection due to a plane being late, AND wanting to be put up in a hotel overnight.
Once landed, went to the counter and explained what I wanted. Explained how, according to the international air charter signed by all airlines in the world, as their flight was late and I had missed my connection I had the right to overnight accommodation and food. I was offered a sandwich, and the finest floor space in the airport. Winner.

Inconsiderate neighbours !!!..........It's bad enough having 4 screaming kids next door but have just walked in the door from my Xmas jaunts & they've only bought one of them a drum kit.........not sure how much I can take before I blow...........

People who design public toilets.
Not only is there often not enough room to dry your hands without the door being opened on you (pub loos), but I haven't yet found a public loo where the children can reach to wash their hands: it's impossible to hold a child up to the sink whilst simultaneously working the taps and keeping their sleeves dry

Tomorrow it's wet wipes

Mr OWG's family generally....

We haven't seen his mum this Christmas yet - we don't know where she lives (!!) and haven't got her new phone number; but she has been ill, so didn't attend any family on Christmas Day.

We have tried to contact her, but only found out yesterday that the numbers we have are old, and she has got new ones (and not bothered to tell her son). So we have left messages on some random phone numbers.....

We find out from FB that ALL the family spent the day together yesterday, including his mum. However, no-one bothered to tell us - through our landline, 2 mobiles, FB or email; or the fact we saw most of them on Christmas Day - it was never mentioned. It wouldn't have been a spur of the moment thing, as there is an hours travelling for a lot of them.

Nice to be included...

People who cannot follow the most basic care instruction for looking after animals for a week.

1: Mucking out the Chicken coop means just that; Muck -> Out!
2: Ignoring written feed instructions for four Horses, and give a whole two weeks' worth of food in under a week!

I'm lost for words.....

Men that ask for your help to do a job, wait until you've started, then bugger off and leave you to it. AGAIN!!!

Myself, for always falling for it!

That my father's lady friend is a selfish, using, self-centred, using bee-atch. Did I mention she's using him? And not making him happy?

[Two_Sheds]

I get very irritated when I eat in a restaurant and other people pick out food for me, like I can't read: "you could have this, or that, or this one"
When I'm in the middle of ordering and they tell the waiter "she's a vegetarian" like that's being helpful. And then all through the meal they continually question me on my food and my funny ways, saying things like "you left your salad, I thought you'd like salad" (it wasn't a salad, it was a bag of tasteless Iceberg, and they gave me 3 servings).

It happens every time, can I just eat my dinner please? I don't ask you why you eat meat, or don't eat fish, or don't like salad.
