minor things that make you fume

I’ve just responded to one of them posts on facebook about so called veterans and how they should be handed everything on a plate for the rest of their lives because they spent 3 years painting grass green and peeling spuds in Catterick … I always see them posts and hold back from posting but tonight I admit I’ve consumed a few beers (I’m on leave for the rest of the week), nobody forces anyone to sign up for the army etc… and when you do sign up you do it with the knowledge you may one day have to go to a war zone … don’t cry about it after … you made that choice yourself.
What are they asking for on a plate mate ?
 

Driving in Perth.

Having done a fair bit driving in the UK and Europe last year, I enjoyed the lane discipline. Sure, there are a few people that just sit in the middle lane, but overall, and especially on dual carriageways, people sit in the left lane, or move out of the right lane to let cars past.

Not so much in Perth. no matter how many lanes, over half the cars sit in the right hand lane, and will not move to the left to let people pass. And when the top 3 selling "cars" are landcruiser, Ford ranger and Hilux, it is impossible to drive proactively as you can't see anything happening ahead.

If the bus didn't 3 times as long to get to work, I would go back to using it every day.
 

Supermarket carparks. The last 2 places I’ve lived crossing the car park to simply pick up a couple of Tsingtao and a high carb, high fructose lunch is akin to going over the top at Passchendaele and walking very slowly into oncoming machine gun fire.

You have the elderly in their 20 yearold superminis exercising a liberal use of the throttle in place of the brake and vice versa. Pinging around lampposts, bollards, families of four without having any idea where they’ve been or who they’ve just mowed down.

You have the entire family who are each the size of a dwarf planet and made of type 2 diabetes walking down through the middle of wherever you’re trying to drive despite the fact their car is parked either on the left or right of the passage.

And finally you have the people who treat something as simple as driving/reversing into a parking space as if they are trying to land an airliner that’s upside down, on fire and is carrying the cure to cancer off 12 benzodiazepines and a bottle of Jim Beam.

I can’t handle it.

I have some sympathy as worked with a fair amount of ex forces who were in difficulty as they never had to work out how to budget until they were in their 30s.

However, what people dont understand is, they get a lot more charitable support from the likes of the British legion than your regular Joe who’s homeless cos their parents kicked them out at 16.

Morning Kurtz.
 
Bags of pasta:

1. Near impossible to open without accidentally ripping the whole bag apart; and
2. If you do manage to get them open properly those 're-seal' stickers never work.
Since you know this why don't you cut the packet open with scissors and store in an airtight container? Sorry, my wife asked me to ask you.

this is wine isn't it, lager and wine for lunch?
The elderly, the heavyset, and the drivingly challenged. Very descriptive, do you have a little more as I enjoyed that.
 
People who leave their trolly in the middle of the aisle & then walk off to get something.

People who lean over you to get something without saying a word.

Kids who run round supermarkets.

Kids who’ll spend the whole time in supermarkets shouting “MUM/DAD can I have some CHOCOLATEEEEE”. You don’t need anymore you fat little helmet.
