Minor Rant Thread - Part 9

[plotman]

Why do people put carpet over there allotments. Its not a tip for old throw outs, Its your garden for pity"s sake. And I dont want to look at your lounge left offs for next three months while you wait for your soil to go sour and all the good bugs die off leaving ground born disease to flourisg through lack of air circulation grrrr, Get a fork and get weeding

Really minor rant compared to some but we buy things FROM the shops, FROM the internet and worst of all FROM fleabay, not off them.

20 minutes spent sweeping the floor and vacuuming the rug.

Within 5 minutes the dog has messed it all up by ripping up a flyer, chewing a tissue and a twig from the garden. Then she added a muddy stone.

ETA - she is now doing zoomies up and down the living room, into the kitchen, with a water bottle in her mouth and she sounds like a herd of elephants.

I can't even bring myself to show you my two; mud half-way up their sides, filthy tails, filthy feet. Yuk. Hubby's slipped disc is playing up, so they're not getting dunked in the bath, and it's torrential outside and blowing a hoolie, so they're not getting hosed either. Big cotton sleeping bag opened up on the kitchen floor, an they can lay there until they're dry. Tomorrow morning they're getting their hairy feet trimmed, and their tummy, leg feathers and tails, trimmed.

Two-tone retrievers, anyone?

Dogs who bark just as you're about to drink a cuppa..........

[rustylady]

Dogs who bark at you cos they need to go out for a wee and it's raining. Sorry Dog, I've opened the back door for you but I can't turn the rain off.

Oh, brilliant start to the day, reached out to amend bedside clock, cos it was 2 minutes slow, knocked off the bedside
Iight, which happened to have a glass shade, now smashed! What a bummer !

Break one break three Dotty - go and find two more things to smash - quick

Well, Mr.G set light to the toaster the other evening, by turning on the hob underneath it. I've no idea why he has to sit things on the hob, instead of the other side of the kitchen where there's a bit more space, but hey-ho, too late now.

The following day, he opened the cupboard that contains the tins, jars and whatever, and knocked out a jar of marmite, which promptly fell on, and broke, the lid of the butter dish.

What's next?

[Nicos]

Dog allergies.
I REALLY like the owners...and their dog, but their house and dog makes me itch , wheeze and swell up.

Do you know, I've never heard that expression before, haven't managed to find anything else to smash tho, does that mean I'm 'doomed'? Mind you the day is not over yet!
