Minor Rant Thread - Part 8

[Dotty Sarah]

Idiots working for a very large supermarket/online retailer, my new phone doesn't work so call the 'help'line. 'Err sorry, it's out of stock and we won't be getting any more in so just return it to the store for a refund.' Get to the store and they've no record that I collected my phone from them to start with. Finally get my refund, get home and start looking online for another phone and discover that they did have a replacement in stock in 3 different colours! *banging head against wall*

Been on my hands & knees on hard, cold, bumpy concrete all day. In the absolute freezing cold (whilst a beautiful blue sunny day happened all around me - and I missed it!) work solidly until 5.30pm - which included the sister painting over my lovely cat in a hissy fit - and I text you to say we're leaving.

You text me to say you're cooking up a storm. I'm starving. Have a quick bath when I get in, when I really need to soak, because you're cooking. And supper was? Yesterday's leftover salad and hardboiled egg. Did I miss the culinary storm? That's exactly what I took in my salad box this morning, you knew that Since when has 'cooking up a storm' meant peeling clingfilm from two bowls out of the fridge?

It's my turn to cook tomorrow you say? And you thought we'd have mixed grill........I think not. There is no way on this earth I'm going to cook chops, sausages, gammon, chips and (yet more) salad after a day painting.

Sister-in-law!!!! Nosy, interfering, prophet of doom who likes nothing more than to gloat over others misfortunes. Try as I might I can't interpret her actions any other way. She is nasty scandalmonging old witch who really ought to put her hearing aids in first to at least make sure she has got her facts right.

People who take the last thing and leave the empty packet in the cupboard or fridge and then I plan meals and there is no thing. Honestly - next time I'm serving up an empty plate sunshine. Oh - yes - you may have thought you had some dinner but I thought I had some x and lo and behold, the box was empty. Just like your plate.

Slept badly. Took ages to get to sleep. Thought I could hear some noise outside - low drone... got up to discover it was the bathroom fan on all night. zzz

[Seahorse]

People who are ignorant and prejudiced enough to believe the filth that the Daily Mail print.

[SarzWix]

I think we all know at least one of them

[Martin H]

People who come and sit next to me on the commuter train, take up one and a half seats with their fat bottoms and leave me perching on the edge.

Bladdy wood burner decides that bed time is just about the right time to start glowing like a proper fire should do

After Sunday dinner a walk up the allotments to show my dad the plot, here comes the pushy guy from the society...

HIM - ''Right, shall we rotavate this then (pointing)
ME - ''Hello...um no thanks, we're not here for very long''
HIM - ''It wont take long, I've got it out, I've just done someone elses plot''
ME - ''no, no, Your alright we're going now thanks.''
HIM - (pointing at another bed which I have covered in manure) ''That needs digging''
ME - ''yes, I know''
HIM - ''I can rotavate it tomorrow?''
ME - ''I haven't joined the society, and to be honest don't know whether I will''
HIM - ''Right'' (and walks away)

Jesus wept.

You - no it doesn't. It's called 'mulching'. You leave the manure on the surface and the worms take it down. I thought you'd know that, what with being in the society and all.

My rant- greenhouse pane flew off in the wind today. So had to go get a new pane, and silicone squeeze stuff and fit it this evening. PITA.

Bit more than a minor rant - to cut it short dad rented his house out & the $%&*^ tenant has done a runner owing 4 months rent
