I was walking through the park to work at about 7:45am so the park was fairly quiet. Striding along towards me was a dude in sunglasses and a suit, really owning his strut. He was a good distance away, I changed my position slightly on the footpath and was walking along checking early e-mails. I glanced up, we're back on collision course, so I tacked over to the side again, whilst looking at him. Seconds later stridey mcstride face is back on collision course so I braced for impact and we bumped shoulders. Being a reasonable soul, I turned and said sorry. But he launched in to a tirade about watching where I was going and how stupid I was. Getting all up in my face. Being a reasonable soul that doesn't respond well to threats, I have to say I stepped forward not back and got very verbally violent very quickly. I don't think he'd expected that, I think he'd presumed he'd be on to knock the phone out of someone's hand and claim some weird moral high ground. He appears to have changed his route to work since this little chat happened. He obviously took your threat to call round and redesign his house, seriously! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've found a key on my key ring that I don't recognise. I can't for the the life of me remember what it's for, it's doing my nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that, those pork pies will be the death of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a lady that used to be like that. She's now desperately dieting because she has diabetes and doctors told her she's killing herself. It only pissesbme off because I don't want people to damage their health and don't want others to think it's an okay way to be, health wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the old "I'm fat and I'm beautiful until my heart can't cope with it anymore" bird. You'd be hard pressed to find an escape route out of bed with one of these women. Funny thing is that what makes them eat is unhappiness, then they get unhappy because they eat. National service for anyone over 35 in BMI (unless they are athletes or heavy in muscle)?

It's wider than that... some of us have to pick up the pieces. The smell stays up your nose for days... and flashbacks to what you find and learn on site (sometimes, the back story is the most harrowing) persist for a long time after. The ripple effect of suicide should not be underestimated, ever. It's so much more than 'some poor soul jumping in front of a train.' Some train drivers never drive again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Waiting for the roofers to come back to complete my garage roof repair, which is still leaking. Haven't seen them since last thursday when they "ran out of materials". Loads of rubbish still left on my driveway too. Ok, i guess those better in the know than me will quote about poor weather conditions hampering efforts but what really annoys me is the total lack of communications as to what's going on. Yeah I'm not their only customer but I'm always chasing them for updates. I blame myself in a way as i tend to be very friendly and trying to engage the workmen in dialogue, whilst apologising for my poor efforts at patching up the roof last year. They must've thought "we've got a right soft clearing in the woods here lads, no probs taking the piss with this one, blagging about material shortages etc !" At least i haven't paid anything up front yet so I'm not totally peed off.....but....aaaaaarrrgh !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
