Minor Rant Thread part 5

[Alison]

If somebody ever bought me a dust collector as a present then they'd have to go to A&E to remove it from where I put it!

My rant, rain on my day off

[Ananke]

Americanisms.

When did Eczema become 'X ma' over here?

ETA: I should probably point out that my rant is about words not people and was instigated by a TV Ad... just incase anyone misinterpreted

[zazen999]

Sexism. Enough already.

Paypal again!!!!!! Arrrrrrrrrgh! I am now on my own personal crusade against Paypal.

Wanted to buy a couple of interior doors for sale just around the corner from where I live off eBay. Emailed the seller who was only offering Paypal as a payment option and said I would like to just pay with cash when I picked them up.
No she said, and then proceeded to tell me how to set up a Paypal account (which I already have).

Thanks very much for your time sez I.................good luck with the auction as I WON'T be bidding!

Hope she's left with the sodding doors unsold!

Paypals owned by ebay and a seller is billed by both..............doesn't add up. does it?

[zazen999]

But it's their money to waste Snadge....

My rant - getting 80% of the way through the tax return and forgetting that your P60 is at work. GRRRRRR.

I always told Mr VVG that if he bought me an oven thermometer and yes he did with a previous, he'd have to explain to A and E on his own.

Mercifully, he likes me

My rant - chatting!

[Glutton4...]

Same narrow-minded selfish, inconsiderate. 'blow you Jack, I'm all right' folk that p!$$ed me off last week.

I'm getting like a stuck record...

[Piggle]

chuffing wind again .... so destructive.

People who think it's their place to comment because you've lost a bit of weight, not just comment, but tell you how you should be eating more.(and I don't mean close friends or family, more the folk you don't see that often) Yes, I know and I'm trying but I wouldn't dream of telling you how fat you are and, for the sake of your health you really should start eating less.

[Piggle]

with you Di! On a similar note people who say " it'sok for you - you're naturally thin"....er no I'm not it's just that I eat carefully and exercise a lot!

[di]

It's really starting to get to me, I'm not hideously underweight, just been off my food and as I'd worked at maintaining a healthy weight before, I do look a little gaunt...thing is, I get to see that in the mirror every morning, just as an overweight person sees that they might be a bit fat, I don't need reminding, nor confirmation from near strangers...thank you very much!

And yes, so I'm ranting and not chatting, the whole 'it's alright for you' thing, actually, I have had weight problems in the past, I did get teased at school for being a 'Ten tonne Tesse', but then I worked hard to get to a healthy weight.

[di]

And to even out the balance, it also gets to me when thin people look down their noses at the overweight, yes they 'could' do something about it but chances are they're struggling. They probably feel as much self loathing as you do loathing to them. Eveyone, bloomin' live and let live and be there when someone asks for help!

[taff]

grumpy people. I'm fed up of hearing negative stuff, I want to hear something happy, and being reminded about stuff I can't change is not helping, shut up about it, get over it, try saying something nice for a change.

[VirginVegGrower]

Hi Taff - like your pony

a***'oles who think its funny to make personal remarks under the guise of humour ...........treading on very thin ice matey , never ever wind up a woman in the the middle of waves of 42 deg, you're lucky I didn't smack you one in front of everybody .....
