They usually want to stand up 10 minutes before the train pulls into the station too. I was sitting next to this imbicle who was taking up some of my seat because she was lying at an angle and so she took up some of my space. Many filthy looks didn't deter her. Then she stood up ages before the train stopped. I stood out to let her out, but she just stood there, then when the doors opened at the station and I was about to move to get off the train she elbowed me out of the way. Then while waiting for the bus. You have the blue rinse brigade pushing past you to flash their free travel. And old ladies who talk down to people my age as if they're an insolent child. Now now, we're both adults in this conversation. Age doesn't qualify you to speak to me like I'm a naughty kid.

My oh says honey a bit but it's not every single time he opens his mouth, and it doesn't annoy me as much as this hun business.

"Why yes, yes I am a Computer Person. I can tell you what the problem is right now without even seeing the thing. It is a piece of shít. Throw it out a window and go do something useful. Trust me, you'll feel marvellous." <Funny looks> In the arrogance of my hair-oil days I thought I was at least a cut above the general run of computer users, what with being a kernel hacker, munching C code for breakfast and shítting coredumps, spending entire evenings knee-deep in some obscure corner of system configuration, and what-not while most people said things like "Ug! Stupid laptop not work. Me throw through window and go pub!!". Nowadays, I find myself firmly in that latter camp (I notice I no longer fully understand my telephone, for example) and fancy myself a cut above the general run of technology users for exactly that reason. :pac:

Dog is a greyhound so we get lots of interest but never really from the types who like to their send their kids over to meet, ie, annoy strange dogs. Anyway we were sitting at a table and bench enjoying some hot chocolate en famille when I spot a family, set of parents and boy of around 3 making their way at breakneck speed over to us. There was no room at the table so I wondered why they were heading our way like a heat seeking missile and then it clicked, the dog! They approach and the mum starts the babble: 'Just look at the lovely doggy woggy 'Little Johnny'' 'Say hi to the lovely doggy woggy 'Little Johnny'' 'Why don't you tell the lovely doggy woggy your name 'Little Johnny'' - That's pointless I think to myself, because a) the lovely doggy woggy has absolutely no interest in hearing your little snot dribbler's name, and b) even if she had you've already ruined the surprise by mentioning his name at least three times already. We didn't have a plan to be deliberately rude or anything but as I looked around, my whole family was just staring at them glum faced without any encouraging smiles or small talk! I mean, they did just interrupt a perfectly lovely moment of drinking hot chocolate so that the centre of their universe could come and get his doggie fix, and well we just weren't into it! At that stage 'Little Johnny' then makes a move to pet the dog and I hopped up, put my body between them and cut him off at the pass. At that stage they got the message and beat a hasty retreat to the sounds of our middle child saying 'Who were those people and why was that boy trying to touch my dog?' That's my girl, 4 years old and already experiencing trivial annoyances! And really, all of this would have been so much less awkward if they had just politely asked whether 'Little Johnny' could meet the dog rather than assume he could!
