What would you send to Room 101? MS obviously, but what else? X
Politicians Janet x
Children who have no manners constantly Oh ex in laws
the sound of anyone eating crisps. it just drives ne mad!!
All of the above, and the witch who’s hassling me in work because I’ve got ms!
Freckles xxx
Those daft taps, particularly in service station toilets where you have to press down on them to get the water to flow. How the hell are you supposed to wash your hands if one has to press the damn tap all the time.
CLODS - centre lane owner drivers. Those who hog the middle lane on motorways. Or even more infuriating those who cut in queues of traffic by driving up the inside then demand to be let in.
People on mobile phones at the checkout.
Owners who do not clear up after their dogs.
People talking in the cinema/theatre.
Those who speak with their mouth full.
Nosey neighbours - like one of mine who decided to tell me she thought I used my microwave too much as she could see. it from the bottom of her garden (it wasn’t a microwave but a small combi oven! - not that it was any of her business anyway)
People who queue jump or push onto buses/trains before those who wish to exit have done so.
Litter louts
Oh dear oh dear I sound like a grumpy old woman - suppose that is exactly what I am!
My next door neighbour (absolute nightmare and constantly watching my every move) Naughty screaming children Tailgaters and people who dont indicate People that are just rude for no reason
Just for Dinks; and breathe…better now? Luv Pollx
Actually Dink - I agree with most of yours (no nosy neighbours for me) and I would like to add on just one theme
People who drive with fog lights on when its not foggy. Switch them off!!!
People who drive on a dual carriageway with the lights on full beam. The light does not stop at the central reservation.
People who drive all the way around a roundabout in the left hand lane or who need the roundabout to be empty before they will move.
People who drive almost in the back seat of my car. Back off I say!!!
People who drive with very bright blue headlights - blind me why don’t you!!!
You call it road rage - I call it agressively manoeuvering around a$$h0les who don’t know how to (insert expletive) drive!!!
JBK xx
managers who think they’re medical experts
my other half’s method of “tidying up” which in other words involves putting stuff away then immediately forgetting where he has put them, Ive lost clothes, cash, a drill, jewellery, a camera, cheque books and shoes. Soo many shoes.
David Cameron
Game of Thrones experts.
Drivers with bright headlights who forget to adjust the angle of dip according to the number of passengers so blind you.
People who stand in the middle of the aisle in supermarkets to have a chat and lose the ability to hear"excuse me"
lego, that lurks in the dark waiting for feet to find it. Bare fett mind, as it has a forcefield to fend off shoes.
Pot Holes in the road
Once we used to drive on the left - now we just drive on what is left of the road.
People walking along talking on mobile phones and have no idea of other people around them trying to get past them
Wire coat hangers, they make me angry for some reason
Noisy chav like behaviour,
Ignorant colleagues who know i’m unwell but stil think it’s funny to ask me if i’m drunk!
Dissmissive, rude, uncaring neuros.
This damn illness (whatever it is),
People who give a limp handshake…ugh…makes me shudder.
Grumpy old woman part II - I could do a Room 101 programme all by myself!!!
Crossings where you can only get two paces across the road before the lights change.
People who have never heard of the word “sorry”
Oneupmanship
Parents whose offspring are allowed to run riot in restaurants - I’m all for family dining but not when their little darlings ruin it for everyone else.
People who eat the produce before paying for it - it’s stealing pure and simple.
Plastic packaging
letters that imply the writer has tried to contact you but you were out. Or the post office card saying they tried to deliver a parcel. They never had the parcel with them they just want you to collect because it is bigger than a letter and they don’t want to carry it.
Easy to open cartons - they do not exist
Adults who think it is ok to ride their bikes on the pavements.
Any service providers who fail to turn up when they should without a phone call.
And yes Poll I promise now to do some deep breathing and relax.
Great post really enjoyed this one.
Feeling better now Dinks?
I’m looking forward to Grumpy old woman part 3 - The Revenge!!! hehehehe
JBK x
Basicly, everything Dinks has said
Would it be bad if I stuck my husband in today…just for a bit…he’s driven me nut’s…the grumpy bum
People stopping dead in front of me when on mobility scooter…usually in a crowded shopping centre!
Just for you JBK
Grumpy old Woman Part III
Firms that tell me “your call is important to us” if it is so important employ more staff to answer it.
My parrot when he decides to imitate the phone ringing and then laughs when I try and answer it.
The dustmen who leave the empty wheelie bin in the middle of the drive so I can’t park my car in the drive until I have moved it.
Unsolicited mail
Cold callers- particularly those whose opening gambit is “I am not trying to sell anything”
Sporting pundits who add absolutely nothing to the sport but just pad out the allocated time.
Child resistant containers.
hose pipe bans the minute the rain has stopped
ticket touts
british rail announcement about keeping your belongings with you.
Self service check outs that tell you suspect item in bagging area - yes it’s the bag!
BOGOF offers that encourage wastage.
Insurance companies that take our money but refuse to pay out
Anyone who takes advantage of a vunerable person.
Self regulation - police investigating police, politicians investigating fellow politicians
and the main important ones that really matter
Poverty
Fear
Famine
loneliness
Mothers with new borns thinking its ok to smoke dope and gloating about it
Those spam phone calls that start ‘This is an important message’ about PPI or that accident I had or whatever it is. Or sometimes its an urgent message. The messages are neither urgent nor important and they do not apply to me. I haven’t had any accidents for which I could claim compensation and I haven’t had any loans (other than the mortgage) to be missold PPI on in donkeys’ years!
