minor things that make you fume

People who spend £500k on a new house and can't be arsed spending £50 or so on redirecting their mail. We kept on getting the previous owners mail for 12 months but rather stupidly took it to their new home without so much of a thank you or kiss my arse. So we stopped doing it and started putting it back in the post box with their address marked. Cheeky melts are now turning up at ours enquiring have we had any of their mail. The very cheek of it.

This used to happen a lot when I was living in shared housing and it got really annoying. I started putting the mail straight in the bin. The scruffs obviously weren’t arsed about it anyway. A bit of identity theft might make them reconsider.

When you've spent 5 minutes in a gargantuan queue for the one open till in the supermarket and they announce another will open and the effing millennials who just joined the queue at the back, with their colour coordinated covid mask acting as a chin strap charge to the front of it.

Our cultural transition into selfish and ill mannered yanks, incapable of taking turns, is well underway it seems. I no longer want to see what the future brings.

I don't think that's a millenial thing. I've seen some savage grannies when it comes to supermarket queues....even worse at the bar. Back in the days when I could go to the bar:(

More than I'd do. Straight in the bin, might have a quick read first if it looks interesting or looks like it carries the possibility of people coming knocking at the door.

That was the mid range one, didn't even look at the smeg ones...everything in Australia still to this day, carries an historic - when every thing came from England...you're on the other side of the world mate, bound to cost more, transport costs innit etc.

Aren't they all knocked up in Asia anyway? Doubt I'd pay more than £20 for a kettle....it boils water.
 
I dropped the youngest off at school today and within 30 seconds remembered why I don't generally go near the place. The number of women driving massive 4x4's and not having a clue how to park, or give way, or do anything that involves the basic skills involved in driving was ridiculous. I might go back this afternoon and kick all their wing mirrors off, I suspect barely any of them use them anyway. Pricks.

In a half empty asda car park parking away from the door in a clear area and coming back to a car parked right next to you.
It's a wind up?

This! I always look for a space with no car either side and I'm happy to park on the far side of the car park. Coming back and finding cars either side is annoying when there's plenty of free spaces.

Fair enough those grannies can be gruesome. I was just reporting this incident - and it was a millennial. Plus I was showing off that I can spell millennial correctly.

Oh how I loved your post!
One of the things I'm sure you won't mind me adding, are these wannabe WAGs, who think they look the dogs, in wearing big eff off sunglasses at half three in the afternoon this time of the year when its almost dark. Can't drive cos the can't see the silly bints.

The ridiculous sun glasses coupled with the face masks make them look like they're in some sort of low budget spy movie. It's always pleasant following one of them up the path as the sun catches their leggings and shows off every crater in their arse as well.
