In all seriousness, I've been scouring builder's providers for a pair of engineer's boots in her size. They're the best of the whole sodding lot for walking and adverse conditions generally. No luck, though - you'd swear there were no bricklayers or oil-rig workers with petite Ladieeeesss feets!

Changing the subject from boots and hookers, people sending stuff to my house without asking me first. A relative of mine texted me late last night to tell me that they'd used my address to have some packages delivered to as they work nights and might not hear the delivery guy. The stuff could arrive today or tomorrow and I'm stuck hanging around waiting for it.:mad:

What about Caterpillars? I had a nice pair donkeys years ago, not exactly very girly but comfy and warm and they seem to design some aimed at women.

Sweet mother of jesus - IKEA on a weekend. I can't even conjure up the words to describe how horrific it is. People seemingly there just for something to do, having a spot of lunch and then walking at a snail's pace around the shop like gormless fools. Never again. Lesson learned. Those who have been stupid enough to go there on a weekend, especially a wet one will know what I mean!!

IKEA is basically just an adertisement against marriage. It's full of miserable couples with young kids pushing around trollies of flat pack cráp - him with a face on him, her with a face on her, as they squabble over scented candles and drawer organisers. "Nice" stuff they can afford after they've mortgaged even their future reincarnate selves on a 3 bed semi in a commuter town. It's just misery heaped upon misery.

It, and places like it, are truly the Eleventh Circle of Hell. Dante Alighieri would have loved it! :pac:

I often quite fancy a soup from one of the many cafes near work but 9/10 the only soups available are fully blended. I likes me a chunky soup so I does.

I'm not sure where you trivally annoyed people stand on this but I was in McDonalds last night and absolutely flabbergasted at the amount of people who eat and head off leaving their empty wrappers on the table rather than gather them up and pop them in the bin on their way out. We were always taught to clear up after ourselves in places like that

I'd always bus my own table in a fast food place. A friend of mine refuses to do it......and he used to work in one. He says that there is someone employed to clear tables and by not leaving your rubbish, you are potentially costing someone thier job.
Not sure if that is an excuse for his lazyness.

Shopping centres usually annoy me, this time of year and the run up to Christmas is Hellish though. The local shopping centre has something aimed at entertaining kids and there were hoardes of the little darlings running wild in there and Dunnes and Lidl on Saturday. We don't usually shop on a Saturday and I'm gonna have to make sure we get it done on a Thursday of Friday from here on in.

Seriously, a child zooming around on a scooter in the supermarket and groups of kids running wild together down the aisles while the parents ignore them. Surely it's not too much to expect parents to keep their kids under control for the hour or so that they're in the shopping centre.

Do what I do pumpkin. Three strikes and you're out. Stop the first two times and on the third, let them run into the trolley.


It's annoying when something really funny happens, you've a good laugh over it, but then ten minutes later someone is still trying to play it back and it's not funny and the initial thing that happened doesn't even seem funny either

What bugs me most is that management aren't doing anything to stop it.

Mr. CooL ICE

You'd be doing them a favour by letting them run into a trolley. Not being careful by looking where you are going means pain. Letting them learn by making mistakes, etc. Just make sure you record and put it on youtube for the rest of us though

Jimgoose, I saw this and thought of you.....but not in a gay way.

"be advised, I'm mean, nasty and tired. In eat concertina wire and piss napalm and I could put a round through a flea's ass at 300 yards. So why don't you hump somebody else's leg, mutt-face, before I push yours in?"

I worked in retail for years, I know what it's like. Stores should have a sign saying that running is not permitted in the store, likewise no riding scooters or bicycles in store either.

When I was out shopping last week there was a woman with three little darlings running around, she didn't take note till one of them ran into my trolley, I got told to watch where I was going, I felt like telling her to **** off but I politely told her to watch her brood in future. It would more then trivially annoy you.

Hmm, when I was there last night they appeared to be understaffed and there were at least 5 tables uncleared for the duration I was there, which was about 15 minutes. Some delightful yoke came in, decided to sit at one of those tables and attempted to swipe everything onto the table beside with her arm. She didn't seem to care when it all ended up on the floor:rolleyes:

I also ate in the IKEA cafe at the weekend (what a desperate weekend for food I had!) and they have signs everywhere asking people to return their trays with rubbish to the little areas they have for storing them and still people were flouncing off leaving their tables looking like a bomb had hit them.

I live about ten minutes walk from the school. This morning we were running late so my children were running ahead of me, we got stuck behind this man and his children who were walking really slow and blocking the footpath. He knew we were behind him but wouldn't move which was fine so when the path widened myself and the kids ran around him. He started to shout "ah go on you can run faster then that" and there were a few other things said. I turned around and told him not to be so smart, he really pissed me off:(

This is where the attitude of entitlement comes from. It's just common courtesy to stand aside and let someone pass, but common courtesy seems to be sadly lacking these days. I see it when I'm out walking, you get a couple of men or women walking and they will not let you pass. I end up bumping arms with them as I'm not going to walk out in the road because they're too ignorant to stand aside and let me share the footpath.:mad:
