The New Minor Rant thread....

[mrswadders]

being forced to go on a training course which is at least a 2 hour drive away(on a good day) and only because its a tick box exercise to say I've done x-hours training, also very insulting as its a course designed to show new technicians I've been doing the blimmin job for 13 years, and the H&S part doesn't even touch the qualifications that I've already got grrrrrrrrrrrrr..........................

More of a muse than a rant but I've just watched a woman walk up the corridor wearing what can only be described as "F*** me" shoes. They're leopard print with at least 5 inch heels and look almost as high as her feet are long. She's walking so slowly and carefully you'd think she'd had an "embarrassing accident".

This is a relaxed office environment so why would you wear something like that to work? She can barely walk and they don't look right with her "safe" black skirt suit.

Just puzzled, that's all.

Went to sit in my new shed with a friend and a chilled bottle of vino and found that next doors gardener had chucked the prunings over the fence into my garden. Now I know my garden is currently a blank canvas but I really don't want to pay someone to remove the neighbours debris having just paid to have said garden cleared.

Peeps that have absolutely nothing to say that is remotely helpful and just miss the point. Phew! What a rant! I certainly expect to get told off for this one!

I have lost my mojo Was fine in Tuesday by seems to of gone over the past day.
My dad got called in early to the hospital today to see the specialist. He has to go back in three months to be re tested and see what the specialist thinks.
The seeds I have planted are either going leggy on me or can't be asked to even grow.
Kids are determined to wind me up and if the OH mentions his railway track and his layout once more I will really loose my sense of humour.

Whoops! Puppy started to chew the lead of the iron, which as I tried to remove him, fell on the floor, the carpet to be exact, !

Covered under our house insurance, no!

This probably shouldn't be here cos it was a major rant not a minor but here goes.

Other half got his friend to cut our grass yesterday, the lad did a cracking job, moved all my fruit pots out the way and back again and so on. After he was done I asked my other half to empty out last years potato bags on to the heap of cut grass and throw away the old bags. Today when I got home from work I realised what he had done, only tipped out this years potatoes that I planted a few weeks ago!!! Two saving graces are that he didn't throw the bags away (the new bags, or old either!!) and that I only had 3 potatoes in 3 bags. I have managed to rescue the seed potatoes but now I don't know which ones are which, 3 different varieties

Angry was not the right word

It's not often I have a rant but it's a triple wammy today. I'm so glad they only come in 3's.

1. The spool cover on the strimmer has been blitzed to pieces, that's what I get for strimming over chippings..................anyways, I think I've solved it by fitting a metal collar over the original cover.

2. 25lts of Roof Bitumen arrived...............I thought the packaging was a tad OTT then I found out why, I removed the bodged up cardbox box, that was ok, then a 3" layer of bubblewrap surrounded the tin..............so I sets to removing the bubblewrap to find the tin was dented to hell, the lid was battered & resealed with clingfilm. To cap it off, the contents had leaked onto the bubblewrap & I got it on my jumper.....Nobody told me to wear a boiler suit to unwrap the bladdy box.........

3. Went to Dentist today for 4 fillings..............came home with no face on, after a few hours I was back to norm so had a bowl a soup.........was sipping away on the soup when one of the bladdy fillings fell out..........

You can stop laughing now.

Edit from me, sorry this is not nice. I just get furious because people will never believe their nice, even perfectly behaved dog will do this but they are all capable. I know because I had one. It's on the rant because I am not suggesting anyone on here would be so irresponsible.

I just get furious because people will never believe their nice, even perfectly behaved dog will do this but they are all capable.

My long lived rant is irresponsible dogs owners. It is law that dogs are properly under control under the dangerous dogs act (in my eyes should be on a lead ) in public places. Yes you may have the nicest friendliest dog in the world but if it won't leave another dog alone that is on a lead that has gone across the road or similar action to get away then accept the consequences. Also some people have phobias and allergies why should they be subjected to them. Also why is it some peoples dogs are constantly escaping? yes it happens but every other week

Sorry rant done.

Unfortunately it's not the law to have your dog on a lead in public places. My rant is also irresponsible dogs owners...haven't looked at the link above but can imagine! Our dogs are always on a lead and have been attacked by others running loose...the owners excuse? Oh they only want to play...what while ripping my dogs to pieces? Next time it could be a child! I would sign any petition which says that dogs should be on a lead at all times while in public if there was one.

And just to add one more thing...why are kids ring fenced in play parks to keep dogs away from them. I understand the need for dogs to have a good run around but why don't we do as they do in America and have a section of parks etc fenced of as dog parks and they can run around to their hearts content without bothering other park users?

Went to the allotment to move part of a raised bed. It was just one small front board and a side board.The bed was full of weeds mainly nettles and buttercups and is covered by ivy and brambles. I am just going to dig it out, cut the bushes back and put pots on it.
My rant is the first three support posts were only a few inches in the soil if that and I smashed them out with a mallet hammer. The fourth was a two and a half foot post that they'd buried. I ended up having to dig the flipping thing out. Why on earth they used a post that length is beyond me.
