    Last Tuesday I was getting the bus into work and I was sitting on the single seat by the stairs that you're supposed to give up if someone who needs it more gets on.

    So a heavily pregnant woman got on and waddled towards me so I jumped up, picked up my bag and said, "sorry, do you want the seat"?

    So this beeyatch looks at me in the eye, scowls and says; "Would you fuck off, I don't want your seat, I'm able to stand." The reaction of her you'd think I tried to take a shit in her hand. The only option for me was to then slink back to my seat, sit down and avoid eye contact with her!

    My question is what the hell is that about? In fairness to her, she did look like she'd been crying but still keep your problems to yourself.

    Anyway offering her the seat wasn't my good deed. Not rearing up at her was. Still I'll be more wary of offering my seat to anyone again.

    Rather than fix the begging knacker I walk past every day with my usual icy glare, I opted to ignore her completely today instead.

    Last night I found my neighbours cat.

    The cat had been locked in my house all day while I was at work. My neighbour was worried sick, but I found the cat and brought it home.

    Yesterday I cooked dinner for the OH when he was coming over. Well he was coming over to cheer me up so maybe it wasn't totally selfless but still....

    Today I don't think I've done much. Tidied up the kitchen without being asked to?

    If it's the one closest to the stairs, there's no sign to give up that seat - just all the ones around it...

    I took a huge dump in Tesco's and actually flushed it away and brushed the commode.

    I saw a guy "save" girl's hat one morning. It was wet and windy, her pink hat blew off and he stamped on it with his big dirty boot to stop it blowing away. She didn't look overly impressed.

    I did the lotto yesterday and also bought a litre of milk at the same time. Gave the guy in the shop €20 and he forgot to charge me for the lotto. I could have just walked away, but when I realised I went back and gave him back the money.

    This better bring me some good luck tonight for being honest!
