It's open again, what are people going to post about? Do you post regularly "Went down the EDT last night, it was still open"? I nipped in there (Gowlett) for a pint the other day and it was quite full, didn't feel the need to let out a "frigging peep" about it here though.

Robert Poste's Child Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Not rage exactly, more disillusionment: all winter you look forward to the warm weather - sitting in your garden, drying washing on the line instead of indoors, sitting on a park bench in the sun reading and so on. Then the reality of what other people do: barbecues, loud music and parties.Loud weed-filled party in Court Lane right now disturbing everyone in the surrounding streets so looks like another sleepless night.

siousxiesue Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm becoming really curmudgeonly about huge hedges in front gardens encroaching the pavement. That are twice the size again hanging over the fence, I get that you might have privacy issues, but the pavements are full of kids scootering and double buggies and what not, so TRIM the bloody hedge off the public pavement Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5840-tiny-little-things-that-cause-you-irrational-rage/page/191/#findComment-1241027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours fragrantly...It was a very unpleasant bus journey. That said, I'm constantly surprised how many younger guys clearly spend a lot of time on hair and clothes before going out but stink like foxes so apparently skip an important step.

I looked it up and that didn't help much.

KidKruger Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 730 showers per year, or else you?ll automatically smell in public.

Robert Poste's Child Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 This is the irrational rage thread so don't expect scientific evidence! 'Grubster' is probably one of those words families make up for themselves when bathing small children, and then you just keep using them.

Robert Poste's Child Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Yes, if you're single and sleeping alone. If conjugal rights are on the agenda you need both. Women love a man who's clean and smells of nice soap.

Robert Poste's Child Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 True, just less of a problem than with men as all your lovely pheromones, relatively larger size and unshaven body parts tend to make for a stronger and more far-reaching smell. Imagine what it must have been like in the old days when many people bathed once a week and washed hair less often, along with damp woollen clothing, hair oil, before dental floss and everyone smoking.

Yep, we're generally more pongy for the reasons that you state, RPC. Just wondering if the opposite were true you'd be happy with a man saying "women, you niff, sort yourselves out"?

Robert Poste's Child Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I don't think that's a genuine question, is it; more a passive-aggessive use of Socratic irony to 'prove' me wrong. You're welcome to use this thread to sound off about all women but, for the biological reasons above, it would be less true than of men, and as you're a man and therefore speaking from a position freighted with the historical power and privilege of masculinity it would tend to come across as misogyny.

I must be devilish clever, far more than I realise! I thought I was just saying live and let live, now I realize I'm using Socratic irony and whatnot...Seriously RPC, you made a generalisation about all men being a bit niffy, I made a mild polite point that not all men are, and now you're saying I'm "speaking from a position freighted with the historical power and privilege of masculinity" and being a misogynist? Seriously? How have I made the slightest attack on women in any way shape or form? Please show me where I've done that?
