Minor rant thread 2017

[mothhawk]

Why do people leave a message on the answerphone announcing "Hello, it's me" before leaving a message? Me who? What makes you assume your voice is so distinctive that I'll recognize it in one? Or do you believe no-one else calls?
And then there are the mis-diallers who do it as well and leave a message for someone else......and then call again and leave another message because their first message wasn't answered.....

I have a mis-poster,every year I get a Christmas card or birthday card from a daughter & family to their mum,I opened it once to see what it was because it's every year! Then I thought oh no,this mum doesn't know her family are sending a card & if it was me I'd love the card,don't they ever talk & say did you get my card? So I became involved & I tracked her down,surname in the phonebook,she lives near the shop down the road. I took her card round there & said it's got my address on it,but she must've not told them because I still get a card every year for her!

Double rant. I've got 10 gallons of home brew wine ready for bottling so I went down to the shed to get the bottles that were already sterilised ready to put the wine in. My daughter has chucked them!

Went to Ald1 to buy some bar stools that I saw in there the other day for £17.99. I've had a breakfast bar for 15 months now but been unable to sit at it and enjoy looking out on the garden. Before I could finish unloading my shopping (I bought other stuff as well) the bloke behind me in the queue had put the "next customer" sign up against my shopping and started unloading his. I don't know where he thought I was going to put the rest of mine. To add insult to injury he kept pushing his trolley into mine to shove me along.

Aaargh, buses.

It's bad enough that Sunday Services don't gall into a predictable routine until noon, before that each hour has them coming at different times an hour, but the roads get dug up and they put up posters telling you to go 5o a different stop not usually used by that service. They don't seem to tell the bus drivers this as they then whizz past this stop without even looking for passengers.

Yesterday...neighbour..." can I borrow your trailer today?"

Yep sure

Is it returned yet?

Nope!

And we need it within the hour....* sigh

Going to have to phone around to track it down now.

Me again. Three times in one month, crikey, I'm becoming a moaner!
Rosemary beetle has all but done for my 2 lavender hedges. Last year it was badly infested, but seemed not too bad going into autumn. But now three quarters of it looks dead. There are a lot of patches that have started to produce new shoots and then died off, but most has never started into spring growth
I've cut out all the dead wood in one hedge and it now looks dreadful. I may just take the whole lot out and replant with something else....

[Jay-ell]

I have this rant - but if I posted it I would only have to moderate it straight afterwards and send myself a warning.

Persistent rain when you have time to go plottering.

When you have urgent admin to complete for the next few days, it's glorious sunshine.

Poot.

LOST

My Patience

Reward offered for it's safe return

If found, please handle carefully as it is very weak and frail. My location can be found by following the shouting, screaming, whining, whinging and general bickering of two small children

(4+ hours there can't be much more left in them )

cheesed of not being able to access the kit i need to make things easier for me,grrrr i want to get on with the job,so frustrating,not really anyones fault,only the passage off time,things get put in places i not know off or can get to,perhaps that why it rained after my inside screams,

[sparrow100]

Himself locked the car key inside my car. Apparently this is my fault. There have been words. Quite a lot of them were VERY LOUD!

Useless physiotherapist!!!!!

If I have less movement and more pain than a month ago despite religiously doing your tortuous excersizes why are you surprised that I have lost all faith in you.

[Tripmeup]

My calf which I thought was ok has now kicked up again... No duathlon for me this weekend
Still can cycle but not able to run, so could be worse i suppose...
