minor things that make you fume

I didn't see him lock the door, did you?

I once went out and left my front door wide open. In reality, no-one is going to burgle a house with the front door wide open. They'd always assume there's someone in the house. Or someone already burgling it!

There is about a 6m wide central reservation that is the worksite and not a soul is there.

I haven't moved since I posted that last post.

They put the average speed down to 50mph, too.

If no one is there, then it should be 70mph.

used the M6 at least once a week, the project management is a complete joke, no progress has been made and it's a complete lack of thought to the regular uses in the North.

Mine is with locking the door. I can remember locking it, im 99% sure, but that 1% nags and nags you until you get home.

Do something memorable like knocking the door knocker, or putting something in your pocket, or just say something out loud. It's being able to remember what you did directly afterwards that helps more than trying to remember the act itself.

It's getting to the point where I go 10 paces out my door and go back and check out of habit.

i do. I turn the door handle and push and pull to check it's locked. Helped at first.

Ah, but that's still part of the door locking process. Do something else afterwards, so you can recall the sequence of events rather than just pulling the door, which you do every day. So when we go away for the weekend, I'll do something daft like slap the hanging basket and throw a stone at the garden gate, anything to twig my memory that I did those things directly after locking the door!

Not a lot makes me fume

But I just ordered some flowers for the wife as she's had a pretty rough time at work this week, but why exactly are flowers so expensive? I'm all taken a back.

Taking a guess, I'd say that because a lot of them are imported from Holland ?.

The only reason I know this, is because there's a florist by us, that always has Dutch lorries parked outside, dropping flowers off

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say the outside of flowers has nothing to do with their provenance, and everything to do with them being a mandatory gift for women that they can royally sting you for.
