The New Minor Rant thread....

Took the car for a service yesterday ready for our hols. Needed a new battery in the key, they said it it had been dropped too many times to fit one. What they failed to add was that after they fiddled with it, it no longer worked! Now I'm in Bath City centre and I've had to leave the car parked up but unlocked! It's, too late to order a new one for our hols on Sunday we won't fit everything in my little fiesta.

Men wearing horrible vests in shops. (without a shirt I mean)

No trolleys in the 'compost section' of garden centres, and no one to help you lift 50 ltrs anyway? ( so you don't buy)

GC's selling little trays of veg, of which half are already dead! Cos they haven't watered them!

Dear Ex Client,

When will you learn it's no good phoning me after 5 p.m. the phone is switched off!!! And please check your e-mail before leaving voice mails moaning about me not contacting you. Finally no you can't have a new boiler fitted early next week, maybe in a month so

Went out to breakfast with my son and realised I'd left my keys inside the house. I had a spare backdoor key so I had to go in that way only to find that my next-door-neighbour but one had screwed my back gate shut. See 68 year old climbing over gate.

Hubby having a free day, to spend on his current project. The one that arrived in October last year, was going to be done-up over the winter, and sold in the early spring. It's currently just over half way through, due to lack of time and inclination, so I told him if it's still there in September I'm setting light to it!

He's just got started...

Why my SIL insists that the prepared salad you get in plastic bags tastes better that Little Gem or Lollo Rossso lettuce

That is all the salad my Mother ever buys and I won't touch the stuff after the various stories of bacterial breeding ground and food poisoning. Then after learning more about modified packaging environments.....yuk

I know this isn't a chat thread but I worked for a company that provided an ingredient for some of those packaged salads. I now refuse to buy them. I live on my own and in winter when I don't have my own plants I would rather throw half a lettuce away rather than buy one of the packaged variety.

Random emails from idiots.

"We can't find the anti-spill dog water bowls, any idea where they may be?"

How the bleeping bleep would I know? One of your cupboards, maybe?

Sometimes I wonder, is it me?

That I don't have a bigger garden.

Mr Lump would put - That she don't have a bigger garden into the what makes you happy thread.

Facebook wants ID off me else I don't have a FB account.
