Tegis Posted May 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2018 I just saw someone painting the stem of his trees in his garden white. I had a quiet internal rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was playtime, we'd have been about 9 and an Asian lad went up to the headmistress a bit upset, pointing at another kid in my class and said "Miss, he's just called me a paki". She said "Do your family originate from Pakistan?". He said no. She said "Well then, you're not a paki are you?". I remember at the time thinking it was a stupid reply and I can still see the "WTF?" look on his face. To be fair, that is annoying. Snitches gets stitches. Bloody grass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Old biddie cuts across me with her trolley in Tesco whilst looking completely in the wrong direction to where she's heading. I see the potential trolley crash coming so i put the brakes on and whilst not tutting or saying owt, my face had a slightly pained expression. She carries on past me, having clocked my facial disapproval and calmly says "grumpy sod !" and carries on. Before I literally had time to think, I growl quite loudly "aah shut up you stupid bitch !! She either didn't hear me (I doubt it as others nearby did !) or she just blanked me. The worry is that i feel I might be developing some kind of..... I dunno.....not tourettes but my intolerance of stupid (and ugly) people might just get me a slap if i can't control my gob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's been years since he had a major storyline. He mostly just pops in for a few minutes each episode, gives a bit of advice to junior doctors, and wanders off again. Money for old rope. Second highest is Amanda Mealing - also Casualty - but she at least has been the main featured character for a good while. Which is OK by me.

And all they ever **** talk about is cycling. Ah my favourite group of people, I especially like the ones that think the advance signal box is their property on twitter. I’ve personally only ever seen 1 cyclist in one, yet I seem to have to respond to an awful lot of them on twunter who are moaning about cars being in them. It’s perfectly ok for cars to be in them in certain circumstances but they won't have it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Zen Posted May 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2018 On my run today, I went past an old-ish man walking his two little yapper dogs. One of them snatched at my ankles and while I could have said something to their owner I decided to mind my own business and keep running. «F*** off with your running!» the man shouted at me as I was already well out of their way. I turn around and say «so it’s my fault now, is it?» surprised as I was at being told off for running on a frigging footpath. «They don’t like it when people run» was his brilliant reply. Don’t bloody walk them on a public footpath before you’ve properly trained them then! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xela Posted May 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2018 Received a proper shitty email from a senior Director in another part of the organisation saying I had promised something to a client (I hadn't) and that I hadn't done something else (I had). They copied in my boss and my bosses boss with the sole intention no doubt of getting me into bother. Years ago I'd have been fretting and would have spoken to my manager all worried even though I know I hadn't done anything wrong. I'm not quite sure when my attitude changed... maybe its age or the fact i'm comfortable in the fact that I am good at my job but I basically 'replied to all' in the email and went to town! Called the sender out on his email of grossly incorrect assumptions and that he should perhaps check his facts before emailing me like that and embarrassing himself again. No doubt there will be some blowback on it but I'm not putting up with that bullshit. Tosser. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
