Minor Rant Thread - Part 8

[Glutton4...]

Husbands that try to sabotage your good intentions. NO, I don't want another drink, thank you. AND, what the CHUFF is that ruddy big fat TIRAMISU doing in the ruddy fridge!? Arris-ole.

DD came home upset last week because she'd been told that she shouldn't wear her lace up ankle boots to school again because 'It's summer now and you should be wearing summer footwear'. This despite the fact that I've already told them she's hypermobile, and needs ankle and arch support, Despite me being really angry, she's been wearing stupid little canvas pumps since then to avoid trouble. Yesterday she came in complaining about painful feet, so I've had to insist she goes back to the boots, and sent a strongly worded note with her. Hoping that the same teacher has a go at her, because the thought of them reading the line '... and we cannot afford to replace this essential support with a 'summer' equivalent merely to appease teachers' sartorial sensibilities' is making me chortle just a little bit...

Seriously though, I have a lot of respect for teachers in the main, it's a tough job, but some of them seem to really enjoy the little Hitler aspects of it What the hell difference does it make to learning whether my very bright daughter has on 'summer' or 'winter' shoes??!!

The Bar Steward who hacked into my personal bank account and spent about £75 . I am so glad I noticed so that I could stop my card straightaway. Makes me unsure about on-line banking though

That happened to me about a month ago - £300 to an online betting site! Luckily the bank's fraud system picked up right away it was an unusual transaction and phoned me to check as I don't check my balance every day.

We had hail and sleet here yesterday.

Metcheck is forecasting an air frost for us tomorrow night.

I've had enough of this anthropogenic climate change, can we have global warming back?

[Verinda]

Its freezing here, the wind keeps howling and the showers are so heavy, we had sleet yesterday!!! And I've had a simply horrible day in every way possible. I am trying my best not to be negative but, oh!! Its not easy!!

[Seahorse]

Yes mother, my dog is dangerous and no, I didn't bother to get a reputable company in to fix my roof. What with me being an irresponsible idiot and all.

Sigh.

[julesapple]

SH, why is my mother at your house?

Rant: Why the hell are you trying to 'grate' that carrot with a nutmeg grater? C'mon...you've done chef school....

Ordered a small item from a well known DIY chain. Rhymes with bricks or there is a ruder alternative I would like to use. P&P higher than cost of item. Order arrives but the original packing bag has a large hole on it and surprise surprise part of it is missing. Did the person packing the order not notice the large hole in a small packet and wonder if it was all there??

PILLOCKS!

1: Pillock One, who decided to send a parcel to our house, when we have specifically asked you to send all parcels to a separate address, as there is not usually anyone here during the day.

2: Pillock Two, the delivery driver, who finding the place empty, delivers to a neighbour, but fails to put a card through the door telling us who/where/when.

After four days, Hubby calls, asking where his parcel is, only to be told it's been delivered, signed for, but they don't know where!

Fortunately, he only had to knock on about three Neighbours' doors...

You couldn't make it up!

[binley100]

Guess who the pillock was who didn't close the lid on the growhouse..........yup that's right. The one who has had to empty all the excess water out of trays and plants ....probably drowned all but the celeriac..
