It was raining this morning, and made me realise one of the benefits of hot, dry weather conditions, was how
easy it is to remove dog sh1t from the garden.

Why is it so fricking hard to find a brick/block layer There's a distinct lack of advertising.

Although I just ignore them. The joys of the unfriendliness of the internet

On that note - "Friend" requests from people:
1)you don't know, have never spoken to before and have no friends in common either
2)you met really briefly and barely had a conversation (usually on a night out)

There's none left, look in Australia instead!

My hair is so curly, and such a mess. And so thick. Can't do anything with it, takes forever to straighten it. I'll have a broken arm in a half hour

People doing outside diy on a residential street at 10.45 on a week night. Too tired to be angry

Either that or there's some sort of funny handshake that I don't know:D

The humidity doesn't help. I blow dried and straightened mine this morning, an hour later it was a wavy, frizzy mess and my hair is fine so it needs to be washed and styled every morning:(

Indeed, head down the local pub and do a bit of asking around.

I'm deadly serious.

A lot of people do. I get idiots thinking my dog will roll over and let their kids pull and poke at her because she's small but she's a terrier and doesn't really like kids!

This. After a couple of close calls, when my little nices and nephews come over now, my terrier gets a bone to chew on the bed, but imo if the little fscks could keep their hands to themselves all would be fine. She never bit a child that didn't deserve it anyway.

It's tricky when the person making the fecking request is a friend of an actual friend, though. Sigh.

I don't know where to begin about the supermarket yesterday evening.

Was it the two woman blocking the aisle having a chat?
Was it the aisles that looked like an city centre junction in Delhi such was the
chaos of trolleys and baskets?
Was it the random 180ºs and 360ºs done without warning mid-aisle without so
much as a nod or a grimaced smile to apologise?
Was it the two 'abandoned' trollies blocking the way into the next aisle?
Was it the cow who ran like an olympic hurdler to get in ahead of me when
a new till was opened?
Was it the 2 couples chatting at the top of one aisle leaving just enough room
to get past until I saw the 5 year old daughter of one of them on a pink bicycle
with stabalizers blocking the way or was it his token effort to move her about
and 1/8 or inch out of the way?
Or was it the general lack of self awareness and courtesy, the thinly veiled rudeness, the impatience, the dawdling or the general lack of manners? Yes, I think that just about covers it.

When I woke up I had a friend request from this strange guy I never saw before in my life, he'd sent me a message with a hape of xxxxxxxxxx in it, and had poked. Being my usual charming self, I replied "and do I know you?". Then I went on to stalk his page and saw he was tagged in the place I work. So I hope he's not some new guy who's just trying to be friendly and me after taking the head off him

Supermarkets are a special kind of punishment for the easily annoyed

I ****ing hate having to do the shopping because of everything you've just mentioned. The general public are just so oblivious and ignorant to other people.

Plus a lot of people use it as a social occasion for some reason rather than just going in, getting their **** and getting out like you are supposed to. Nope, they stand about blocking aisles to have a natter about who did what with who in the town, then take an eternity at the checkout because they are more interested in chatting with the operator or the person behind them than they are in doing what they are there to do. And don't even get me started on supermarket car parks :mad:

I don't give a **** if you waste your own time with this nonsense but **** you for wasting mine.

Was it accompanied by 'come along darling, that person wants to get past'... Subtext, that horrible, awkward person thinks they have the right to get past, the cheek...while the little darling sits exactly where they were.

I politely said 'excuse me' to a bint who was blocking the way completely, with her two daughters, one day, as I had paid, and was attempting to walk out of a shop.
She gave out a really exaggerated, and sarcastic 'sorreeeee'. As though I had shoved them, or something. I didn't, honest

I pitied the kids, to be honest.

You should have seen the angry responses I got when I pointed out on Facebook that our local shopping centre looks a mess with the amount of advertising boards plonked so far out from the shops. It's like an obstacle course and when you have groups of people stood around chatting in the narrower busy stretch you can hardly get by with a trolley. Jaysus, you'd swear by the vitriolic replies that I'd suggested that they slaughter every first born child in the county.
