Minor Rant Thread - Part 8

[Dotty Sarah]

Car Indicators, wonderfull invention, and maybe, just maybe, at some point the remaining 60% of road users will LEARN HOW TO USE THE BLOOMING THINGS!!!!!!

Lots of swearing and cussing that can not be posted the dog has dug up my spring flower bed again. This time she gone for the hellebore, frits and primroses. Also another hole a bit futher up. WHY!! 8 years no digging last year she decides shes a rabbit and cant stop herself. I'd send her packing...but she my dog to have and to hole in sickness and in health etc.
Not to mention DS and his digging in the field (it stopped being a lawn the minute the kids moved in)
Small terrace garden

The iron and I have started a mutual hatred society.

I have abused it, literally, all day and, in return, it has give me steam burns, contact burns and blisters. The camera doesn't like me much either, and has come out in sympathy with the iron. Sulky little brute.

I'm beginning to hate listing stuff - but it must be done. Already there is next to nothing in my wardrobe and it used to be crammed to the gunwhales. There is a huge pile awaiting the laundry - just where do those yellow streaks come from? They aren't human or feline. Nothing is ever committed to the closet damp or still dirty, and yet some things are horribly streaked. Why?

And when it's all been washed and is still a tad damp, the iron and I will commence battle yet again.

Seconds out........

Finding my wedding dress, probably completely ruined.

Someone took it out of the gown bag and didn't put it back in. It is now head to toe black mould, dust and mysterious yellow streaks.

I could cry.

My thumb still hurts.

I have dropped a gardening book on my toe. Nice gash and green/purple bruise spreading fast. Absolutely kills.

4 hours on the phone. Just because I want the upgrade satellite broadband that is on offer. 4 bluddy minded hours! Honestly, do you think that I'd be trying my best to get a 2nd rate broadband experience with you, at many times the cost of ADSL2 if I had a choice? No, blithering idiots!
Our carrier sends off registration for us - nothing heard. You have to ring them madam.
Madam does.
We haven't received it, and our computers don't lie. (That makes you the lying cow then does it? :/ )
Then I have to phone two companies to get the reason why they can't give us ADSL2.
Funnily enough they find it hard to tell me. Because their systems don't cope with our location.
So I have two reasons. No madam. They have to be the same reasons.
It's quite true that - Technology Incompatible is because it is a Pair Gain Line.
But no madam, they both have to say the same thing.
So I ring another company. I give them a choice of answers they can choose from.
They use a different term for one word.
I ring the first company and ask if they can change their term. No.
I chuck huge and feral wobbly. They put me thru to a different section.
Nice boy, Asks what I need. We agree. Totally stupid suck big time.
He writes down answer. I do to.
I ring back. Nice boy on the front desk and have a lovely conversation, then he puts me
thru to the n@sties in the office. Sorted now. Not a happy woman tho. Pretty ticked.
Talking short sentences. Thru clenched teeth!

Just loving the way 'my birthday money' has already become just 'money', to the point that only 2/7ths of it is left after paying for trips, dinner money and someone's school shoes

It's cooler, it's rained but my hay fever is still as bad as yesterday

[julesapple]

The Met Office say it's going to be bad this year, VVG. I'm in the same boat - nothing but sneezing lately, and very itchy, dry eyes. Lovely.......not. I maybe ought to stop sniffing the lilacs and apple blossom every time I go outside though....but they smell so nice.

Rant: Laptop touchpad. Arrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

[binley100]

bored, bored, bored.............and too much to do elsewhere

[PyreneesPlot]

Hay fever here too. No sneezing, just a head getting ready to explode in the mornings and a nose that cascades without warning. Usually once I'm in my wellies and haven't got a snotty.
