minor things that make you fume

Being stuck in traffic for half an hour literally 10m away from work...

The Normans : nasty bunch of lads, coming over here and taking our country(ies).

Not until recently did I realise the Normans were in fact vikings or 'Norse-Men' They had been paid off by some Frnch king and given lands in nor'mandy and a bit later decided they should invade Britain again.

On the bus this morning at 5:10am -its full, as always, but I get on at the first stop. Always put my gym bag under my feet/seat. it just fits on my side. Some young tvat gets on and says to me "Can your bag fit in the overhead bin?" I replied "No... is it in your way (knowing it was still on my side)" He says " I suppose not" He then sits down with a bag almost as big as mine on his lap.
Question, should I have;
1. apologized and put my bag on my lap
2. given him a slap
3. contrived something more witty as a response
4. stopped going to the gym

Not you're problem, so nothing, which is, correctly, what you did.

A philosophising friend used to say "don't let these people into your life as they are not even considering you in theirs". I have not mastered this as you can tell from my usual rants!

To be fair, there was no tele then, you've got to do something for a hobby.

I’m always tempted to go full ‘Falling Down’ in those situations - D-FENS!

No harm in a good rant

An elbow into the Adam's apple was what he deserved.
I admire your restraint

Being from Liverpool but not working in the city and people commenting on not understanding the accent. It actually enraged me during a meeting I had to give a talk in yesterday.

Come in freezing, make a lovely mug of tea, drop it onto the floor. Bits of mug scatter 20 miles.
