minor things that make you fume


Did a bit of shopping today and got stuck behind one of those elderly ladies at the tills.
You know the ones, spends 10 mins rooting through their handbags for the purse, then another 5 rooting through purse for the bonus card.
"I don't know why that's not working, love... here try this one instead..."
Then onto a 15 minute encore of slowly packing her groceries in, out and then back into her bags whilst stopping every now and again to chat to the girl on the tills "How's your Derek these days? Ooh is he? Go'way! Our John's been in the Royal all week with his back! What about Sarah and the little'un? Ooh she's the spit of her mother isn't she? scary how fast they grow up..."

Surly North Face lids.

On Cables Retail Park today and as I approached one of the crossings I noticed a gaggle of teenagers walking towards it. I slowed down in plenty of time and came to a stop as I'd seen them a long time before they even thought of looking for traffic. I then sat and patiently waited as they crossed as that's the entire point of a crossing - traffic waits, pedestrians cross. Nice and easy.

But one of them still had to pull the surly "What's your problem?" face and deliberately slow down their walk as I quite happily sat there. Why does everything have to be a confrontation or power play with these absolute virgins?

….you’ll be old one day & you might be delighted having somebody to chat to.

Senior citizens are totally incapable of getting on public transport, without a major, time consuming drama.

Firstly they have to lug them trolley-shopping walker things onto bus.

Then their oldie pass won't scan, as they have covered it with a woolen little coat!

They then spend 90 seconds, choosing a copy of the Metro, that is is to their liking.

We then witness the OAP 'musical chairs' as they move seats at least 3 times.
