Mark - it's "queue", not "cue", and "queuing" not "cueing".

Just thought I'd help you out!

Holding doors open for older people, but being called every name they can think of when I can't do it, because I'm loaded down with bags and the door slips shut <even tho I'm trying to hold it open for them with my foot>

Just the lack of manners and basic etiquette in general society.

LITTER. How can you change peoples' mindsets? We have a school at the back of our house and despite contacts with the headmaster, we suffer an inordinate amount of litter in the park opposite and the local surroundings despite plenty of litter bins (mostly generated by the school pupils). I feel like the grumpy old woman, but what is the answer?? Sad

Idiots who drive with their foglights on when there clearly isn't any fog, and no, a rainy day doesn't count! They can look forward to a dose of full beams.

How long have you got?

When I was 18, someone said of me, to my face, that I was cynical for my age. Forty years on, not much has changed!

We use the heavier re-usable bags for the milk (when I con remember) and the normal bags for the other groceries. the thin bags, like John, get used for household waste into the wheelie bin, usually 1 per day

People answering mobile phones in the street. It suddenly makes them stop walking in a strainght line and they bloody bob around in circles on the pavement in front of me. It's generally men also, putting some truth to the myth that men can only do one thing at a time!

Whilst we're on mobiles, why do young pillocks insist on going through every ringtone in my works canteen!! If I wanted a high whining noise in my ear I'd talk to jade Goody!!.......On second thoughts, no i wouldn't!!!

People smoking right next to me in public when I'm waiting for a bus.

'Oh, I do that'.

Women who already have all the jobshare benefits and limited hours and job-sharing who still expect me to work unpaid overtime so that they can take time off to care for their kids because their husband can't because he has got an important job that he can't get away from............
AND withn their combined income of £50,000 they are still entitled to tax credits, while I pay 40 per cent to keep them in the style to which they have become accustomed ........GRRRRRRRRR Evil or Very Mad

That's the very one Cherskiy.. Smile

the line "Now it is also looking to put bins up next to known chewing gum blackspots" had me in stitches.................

I'd not thought of looking on line for local rags, this could save my mum 56p a week. Smile

I hate the dirty b@st@rd "new man" who thinks it acceptable to change his baby's nappy in a pub when I'm trying to get pleasantly pi$$ed.
He's bound to be moaning about people smoking near his little darling as well. The answer is simple - KIDS DON'T BELONG IN PUBS

The current Government. They have managed to bore most people into having no interest in current affairs (apart from MP's)

Ella Sailyour · Joined: 11 Dec 2006 Posts: 579 Location: Marbella, Spain

I'm as interested in current affairs as I've always been. It's the tabloid press who've managed (with great success) to turn people's attention away from the important stuff in favour of this whole "celebrity" thing. I refuse to let them - and so does Mr. S.

People who have no interest in how their society is run are either lazy or stupid!

What makes me fed up? "Stupid people" - and boy are there lots of them about!

Agree E.S. It's that I remember my parents and thier friends actually talking about the Government and social issues of the day. How often do you hear that as chit chat now?
