Grumpy old women...


dita-on-tees

Recommended Posts

As discussed with a not unlimited amount of bile in the half time of ladies football.


Just to get started....


Personally I hate it when you buy reduced items in the supermarket then they go through at full price meaning a) you have to highlight your cheapness to the operator and probably a superviser as well, or b) you end up with something you didnt really want but bought it because it is cheap and you have to eat it that very day (filled with resentment)


The trend for male genital shaving, stop it, stop it right now - I have experienced it a number of times this year and I just dont like it. If I wanted to caress a kiwi fruit I would go to the supermarket (probably in the reduced section)


Modern sandwiches, too much choice full stop. Enter sandwich shop, am stunned by rocket, brie, tapanade, honey roast breaded smoked ham so end up with Tuna and Sweetcorn to avoid filling meltdown. Tuna and fecking sweetcorn.

My gripe has to be child related, and I am a little reticent to write this, as being a non-parental, and can only imagine in my worst nightmares what it?s like. But...


Kids in Sainsburys!!!


All I want to do is go in there and trundle about with my mini-trolley, music on, my list in hand and do my shopping. But you just can?t seem to move for kids. But it?s not all kids in general that are the problem, it?s the fact that they just scurry about, crashing all over the place like it?s an indoor Goose Green Climbing Park!


Only the other day I had some little thing go crashing into my trolley (I was stationary) only to have her father glare at me as though I had hurt his poor precious. This was the same ?brat? had spent the last 30 minutes since I had been in Sainsburgs screaming ?I want..., No, I want...!? and running down aisles.


I know it?s hard to control kids, especially multiple kids. But these kids seem to think they own Sainsbury?s and it?s their own personal gym.


I would like to write more, but I think I might get a restraining order.

People who loose keys rather than lose them. The words even sound different!


The announcer at Denmark Hill who says that any train not stopping 'is not for customer use'. Actually, nine out of ten times it is. It's full of passengers. It's just 'not scheduled to stop at this station'.


Kiwi fruit... hmmm, I'm obviously meeting less fastidious blokes then!

"Some on here would consider that a result rather than an annus horribilis." Haha - indeed..


Kids running amok in places of business pisses me right off tbh - unless it's a creche of course. I was on a train one time with some pest of a parent whose child divided his journey between sitting in the luggage rack making the automatic doors openandcloseandopenandclose, crawling the length of the carriage under the seating emerging between people's feet, and marching up and down the corridor shouting 'the bigger it gets, the louder it is', right into people's faces. The mother was absolutely outraged to be told by the ticket collector to please restrain her child. 'Come along, Taliesin, some nasty people don't want you to have fun'. Taliesin, ffs..!

I hadn't realised this was such a trend, until a while back when it came up (no pun intended) in conversation, and 3 of my good friends admitted they did it, saying "it makes you look bigger". I think there is something rather disturbing about it.

BBC3 announcers saying ?and next we have (programme name)? but first (programme name)?. The next programme is the one that is about to come on, not the one after it!


Has anyone else noticed this? I think it?s a recent thing, but it?s really annoying me.

There is, there is! Too much porn going on, that's what I blame it on Keef. First time I encountered it was on an ex (who was a porn journalist as it goes). But what with all this redpages and the like, people are getting carried away.


Men of Britain, take heed. We're not fooled into thinking it's bigger just because it scratches us to pieces. Stop it!

    • This lot specialise in rescuing wild birds in London. They're brilliant! There's an emergency phone number to ring. https://www.londonwildlifeprotection.org/  Helen
    • Posh mummies and daddies with all the gear (gold helmets, trendy jackets, paniers fore and aft) love to brandish the kiddywinks they carry as a kind of carte blanche to cycle on footpaths, even when they’re right next to a cycle lane and/or a LTN. Resist! (Lycra-clad “professionals”, though, are often courteous and law-abiding, stopping at zebras and knowing their place is on the road and not the pavement.)  
    • This is clearly far from a unique issue. Somebody posted this on Facebook and it is so similar to posts here I asked him if he was with Tessa Jowell - he said "no, Lewisham".  "This morning on the microsecond of 8am I tried to get through to my GP on the phone...it went straight through to Hold. Tried again. Same thing. Tried a third time...Same thing. OK, I thought, I will hold. 32 minutes later, I gave up. The voice said "Did you know you can now book appointments online?" NO YOU CAN'T...I have the Patient Access App & for the past 2 years it has said "This practice is unable to book appointments online." Anyhooooo...on way back from shops I popped into the actual surgery to see if I could book an appointment in advance...that was my second mistake...Receptionist said "No. You will have to ring up on a Monday morning to see if we have any for that week" "Oh, and what time should I ring?" "It's best to ring at 8am" "But i just spent 32 minutes this morning on hold and couldn't even get through" "Yeah, sorry about that, we are short-staffed at the moment...but did you kn ow you can now book appointments in advance online?" "No, you can't" "Well, there are sometimes some appointments available online" "Nope, no there aren't...looked every day for 2 years and not a scintilla of an appointment..." "Well, you could always ring up at 8am" "You do know the whole system is completely falling to pieces?" Receptionist gives rueful look. In case I lost it and set fire to the whole fecking GP Practice there and then, I left. I will try again tomorrow morning at 8am. And see if Dr Godot will see me...We are well and truly f****d, peoples."
