A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

where does it end.............
mainly peoples downright selfish inconsiderate behaviour - dog stuff on pavements, spitting on pavements, dumping rubbish, not saying thanks if you hold doors open, dropping litter, throwing up on the pavement, taking hours getting their money out to pay at a supermarket checkout when they have stood there waiting for their turn, playing loud music from open window cars...................................god, what a moany old crock I am! :oops:

Yes, doggy poops left outside your gate, please please clean it up, if you don't want to clean it up don't have a dog :evil:
Oh, now you've got me started, cars parked right across the footpath and everyone has to walk in the road.
Going out for a meal and it's spoilt by kids being allowed to run around and talk at the top of their voices, I must be getting a miserable old so and so whatever happened to children should be seen and not heard.
That's my grouse for the night.

One thing that really really gets on me wick is rubbish service in a restaurant or pub
I am fed up of sending food back
or having one course served and then 10 mins later the other one arrives and then the portions are pathetic
and those kids that come round and trot out the usual " is everything alright with your meal" and you tell them and they just gawpe at you
fed up with it!!

:evil:

I hardly ever get upset or annoyed.So long as people leave me alone and "don't touch" i'm happy but lately i find i'm getting irritated by people,and not always young ones, sitting next to me on the bus and talking to themselves from the time thay get on to the time they get off! They're usually people with hearing deficiencies as well! Why else the hearing aids!!
Really annoying!! Just a thought!! Like i say i'm really a placid person.

And another thing that winds me up is people who push in a queue!
Like when you are waiting in one line with 2 tills and it is obvious we are not all standing there for the good of our health!
and you get some smart %£!$
Just march to the front with that stupid expression on their face like.."Oh here's a bit of luck no queue on this one"
Duh!!!

Had it happen the other day so I explained there was a queue to which he replied ..."Oh well I am here now"!
:shock:
So I asked the lady on the till not to serve him...and he still got served!

What do you do!
Kick up more of a fuss
or Kick him!
