The wind up

Litter bugs!!!! how difficult is it to put something in a waste bin? & quite agree with the rants on dogs (or rather their owners) - especially p*** me off are people who keep big dogs in small homes, and people who walk their massive muzzled beasts, who then snarl & strain at the lead when anyone goes past, the owners then say "He won't hurt you, he's really soft" (try telling that to a fairly scared small child at dog head level!!). & the people who let them out to poop all over the pavement grrrrr. Drivers who ignore red lights & drive at full speed through a pedestrian crossing, narrowly missing me & small child (then turn round & swear/gesticulate when I express my utter shock) and conversely - people who don't look when they are crossing the road (they expect you to swerve, brake or mount the kerb to avoid them)
People who let very small kids roam free, then express amazement when anything goes wrong (wouldn't leave your wallet outside would you, but apparently its ok to leave most precious thing out somewhere you don't know & possibly with people you don't know, playing on roads with unpredictable drivers) :confused:
There endeth the Sunday morning rant, thank you for listening, feel better now.

Went to B&Q the other week for a part for the drill as my son was doing a job for me. I needed help waited ages then finally found somebody who said ( bored voice) don't know love I'll ask someone, he dissapeared asked a second person he sloped off. went to the desk to see the manager he asked (bright voice) can I help you, I said Yes do they sell these in Homebase because I'm on my way there,

 

I agree with all the moans especially the ones about drivers. Believe me even learners do some of these things even on there driving tests and then show complete surprise when at the end of the test they are told sorry but you havn't passed

 

Could bad driving be anything to do with now having 4 guesses before getting the right answer,
especially at speed.
:rolleyes:

 

Personally I think we're all better drivers these days than we used to be, you've got to be good just to survive these days :D
There are quite a lot of exeptions though and the bad ones are BAD.
I think a lot of the problem is frustration at getting 'nowhere fast', when you do get a chance to put your foot down, some overdo it.

 

Mmmmm some may be a bit of an understatement - and I'm occasionally one of 'em :D

 

Michaelmasdaisy, can I take you shopping with me?

 

It was me and I was really p----- off that particular day so they caught me at a bad time but when I was young (many years ago) we had a phrase "Just standing about like one of woolworths" because that was all they seemed to do and I find that they are very bad for that in our local B&Q. And you can never find anybody and if you spot one catch them while you can because they can travel fast if they know that they have been spotted.

 

I agree about B&Q, Its the worst one for finding what your looking for, and the staff are practically non existant.
On another subject, recycling, Why do the bottle containers have such a small hole to push the bottles through one at a time, likewise the cans.
Has anyone ever lost a finger in the newspaper recycling bins? The flap seems designed to chop off fingers if you dont use both hands.

 

Toothbrushes in unopenable packets. What's all that about?

 

I know what your saying Nathan, but that spotty oik would have been trained years ago to do the job and know the stock the shop carries.
If he didn't measure up, he got the sack, simple.

 

DIY Stores that don't look after the plants they sell. It is so disheartening to see half dead plants being sold off through neglect by the garden centre staff.

 

Hedge cutting, always, before the hedge has produced it annual crop of food for wildlife to enjoy. it get me so mad tweet tweet tweet.
