minor things that make you fume

IKEA

Was there yesterday afternoon...whole families walking 4 abreast in the aisle and moving as slow as snails blocking anybody else from passing whilst their kids..Charlie and Arabell are running around jumping and climbing on anything that doesn’t move... wish these people would take their Sunday stroll in a park instead of a shop where people are actually trying to purchase stuff

It`s the shopping equivalent of hell.

Full of fellas that don`t want to be there, getting dragged around to look at " stuff " that they have no interest in.

I refuse to go in and go for the better option, of a snooze in the car, with the radio turned low.

I'm not expecting sympathy on this one, but my in-laws are getting on my nerves...

Mrs. tree is very big on always getting on with everyone, even if it means grinning and pretending to have fun for the sake of doing things that her family want to do even when it's not of interest to us. We've had several minor instances of this over the last couple years and I am very much of the view that if someone's being a prick it's important to tell them, and if you are invited along to something that is of no interest to you then its perfectly ok to decline. In her family, these are both cardinal sins.

For the second time this year we are going on a hot beach resort-style holiday (neither of us like these, we are both ski fanatics) with her family, because all her siblings crave hot weather and apparently 33 degrees for two entire months in England doesn't count. After finally getting to grips with this I thought I could tough it out, but I've just discovered that the dates we are away for this mean that she and I will be unable to attend either of John Williams' live performances this year. The man is well into his eighties and has announced that he will retire after the next Star Wars movie, so I'm now worried that we might not ever get to see him in the flesh. She won't budge, so instead of enjoying an evening listening to one of the world's greatest ever composer/conductors, I have to slap on a ton of factor fifty and try not to murder a bunch of spoilt tits who mock me for liking classical music in the first place.

I don't even feel better for ranting about it on here ffs.

You should do because that was a quality rant.

Couldn’t even park.. had to bump up in between the trees in the far corner

From start to finish it`s an endurance test.

Yet women love the place !!!

I got married in 1959. By 1960 I had succeeded in hearing her indoors say 'I am never going shopping with you again'. - Result. If I go into town to do some shopping (alone), I make a list. I park the car, go to the shops that sell the things on my list, buy them, get in the car and go home. Depending on check-out queue's it never takes me more than 15 minutes. Her indoors (from memory) goes into the shop, sees what she wants, then walks round town three times to see if she can get it cheaper. Makes her day if she saves 50p. Mind you, she is a Yorkshire girl. The saying about Yorkshire girls is that they are like Scots people but with the generosity genes removed.

My missus is a Yorkshire girl too ( York ).

When she goes out with her mates, she manages to come home with more money than what she went out with

I'm not saying I agree, far from it in fact, however ultimately Main Stream Media in the UK is far more 'concerned' with western news and western people.

Out of sight, out of mind comes to mind with regards to the Philippines; whereas, our ties with the US, its global profile and the narcissist Trump are force fed via our papers and TV news every day.

Someones scoffed all of them, except the strawberry ones.

Something deffo doesn`t add up.

All of the kids have got afros too, despite the fact that I look like the ginger fella from the Full Monty, who turned gay at the end.

Ha ha! My wife suggested going there a couple of weeks ago. Usually I'll go along with anything but told her no chance!

I’m not usually one to be fazed by stuff, but the thought of IKEA genuinely makes me feel uneasy.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Radio ads for cars, loans etc that go on for ever as the T&Cs are trotted out at incoherent speed. By the end the product doesn't seem worth purchasing.

Outside Tescos in Hanover Street there appears to be a mini shanty town, with various people comatose either sozzled, or spiced out. Not a pleasant sight.
