The New Minor Rant thread....

[Ovce dom�c�]

People who trundle out of a side road at the last minute cutting me off, who then proceed to creep along the road in front of me. If your going to have the bad manners to cut me off at least speed off into the distance.

[SusieG]

100% with you on that one!!!!! Grrrrrrr

Ah - holiday makers!

My rant - starting to worry (??????) about the fact that I haven't seen a white butterfly all year!

[Nicos]

They're all over here

...and wasps!

Mothers who wait to cross the road with their child in the buggy ACTUALLY ALREADY IN THE ROAD. You want to play chicken with the lorries and the buses, fine, but don't force your strapped-in little one to do it.....

(And yes, I have crossed roads with LOs in buggies, so this isn't a rant born out of ignorance....)

Got a swarm living in a box of kindling in the barn. Hope they go before it gets cold, the sods are going to swarm on me when its time to sort out the wood for winter. Had a nest of chicks all summer on the light above the door as well, big pile of bird droppings underneath to be cleaned. Nature eh?

When there's a Pedestrian crossing less than 10 yards from where they're trying to cross.

Decided at long last to apply for bus pass (yes I am that old). Completed form 'online' , got to end and then it asks you to scan in photo, ID, Passport, Etc etc! Well it will be quicker and easier to go to the contact point!

Funnily enough, I did mine on line yesterday Dorothy, I took a selfie (well, a few actually) filled in form, uploaded photo, put in digital number on passport, and voila!
I felt really pleased with myself

[PyreneesPlot]

Stop shouting or turn your caps lock off please.

[Lumpy]

Dorothy and NS - I didn't know that they had dropped the bus pass age to 45!

Oh Oh rant - ermmmm - stinky old chicken poo

When I had my new shed built I was looking forward to enjoying the quiet enjoyment of my garden. I object very strongly to the 3 hours of Popeye the Sailor at the weekends on the estate behind me. I have absolutely no objection to the sound of children playing but, but the 2 two doors up from me seem to spend hours and hours screeching. Is this necessary. It starts at about 6.30 in the morning and stops for about 3 hours until they get back from nursery. Then it continues until about 7pm. The only respite seems to be when it's wet, when I don't want to be out there either.

Do I sound like a total grouch?

NO! You are not a grouch!

I had a next door neighbour at the allotment who had a female screecher. After it had driven me insane one too many times I used to turn on the car radio just loud enough to drown it out, (very loud) obviously with all the doors open.

As for the God Squad, there are 2 local churches constantly door knpcking in my area but for some reason I now seem to have been "blacklisted" by them.

My rant: 4 hours spent in A & E sat on the hardest most uncomfortable metal chair imaginable.

Mum now in ITU. Untreated lung condition has now caused so much damage that she is unlikely to ever be well enough to return home. Thanks GP - did you ever think she might need a referral to a consultant?

[Bigmallly]

Hard times Wendy, thinking of you.

[1Bee]

I'm sorry, Wendy. I've been there, and it's not pretty. ((((hugs))))
