The wind up

While we're on the car parking theme - men that watch anxiously while I reverse my (small) car into a space whose lines are 1�½ cars wide!

 

garden party / bbq's that get a bit rowdy late at night and result in one of your favorite sisters in law falling head first onto your courgettes, flattening the lot as she tries to stand up, then, as you gloomily survey the damage, she proudly announces that it's okay, she didn't spill any of her wine!! Same party - two broken garden chairs - not meant for reclining on - apparently! Silly string all through my shrubs, carefully stacked logs for winter stove no longer carefully stacked unless you count looking like that game pick-a-stick as stacked. Still, only one arrest and a good night was had by all !

 

On the parking subject,when you forget and park miles away from the place where you leave the trolleys when you've loaded the car and you can't get through so you have to walk miles out of your way.

 

Neighbours who borrow tools and dont give them back, and then when you go round to get them and ask for them back they say, "why do you need them then".

 

When you go for a walk in a really nice area but have to avoid dog doo

 

Neighbours who have a dog, never take it for a walk and then tie it up outside on about a metre of string while they have their tea. This is in pouring rain or blazing sunshine! The resulting barking and/or wimpering is ignored by them. Why do these people have a dog if they don't want to look after it? :(

Those sticky labels on apples in supermarkets, first you cant get em off the apple, then you cant get em off your finger, then you dont know where to stick it.
Then you find half the glue is still on the apple, needs something like white spirt to remove the glue, so you eat it anyway. Very hygenic. :(

 

That stupid **!!** who likes to drive 6" off my rear bumper - I tend to forget that I have any ladylike tendancies.

AND

you can add to that the four wheel drive or people carrier drivers or smart young things who appear to have lost the use of their legs and park in disabled bays, mother and child bays, or anywhere that means they don't have to walk

AND

the **!!** who think they have right of way passing parked cars and force oncoming traffic to stop or crash into them

AND AND and and :D

 

Steady on Fran, what about people that park on the pavement, and force pedestrians out into the road to get round them.
Nathans keeping quite,.....Funny I thought he was into Cars etc. :D

 

The last few postings brings to mind an (older) relative who, when faced with a dodgy road situation would drive on through regardless declaring "I have right of way!" I believe his nearest and dearest would tell him that they'd have that put on his head-stone!

 

Funny -- I know someone like that! :D

 

YES! ndn!

 

The inconsidiot (yes I have just made that word up ) who parks opposite my drive making me reverse all the way down the street and round a bend before there's room to turn round.

People who drive Chelsey Tractors who pull up next to me at a road junction waiting to pull out so that all I can see from my little car is their **!!**g wing.

Actually most of that was unnecessary :- People who drive Chelsey Tractors (with the exception of those who live down rutted gravel drives which are impassable in adverse weather in an ordinary car)(both of them)

 

caravans on any road - especially when you get two together !
