Random Irritations

Not so much a Random Irritation, more a Random Sadness. Mrs Hobbit and I have been members of the bowls club for almost 4 years. We’re in our early 60’s and, along with a few others, are by far the youngest. In the last 6 months we’re seeing Alzheimer’s/dementia get a grip of several members.

We’ve been there with Mrs Hobbit’s mum, so know what to expect, but to see friends failing and their partners struggling is so sad…. That’s life I guess.
 
Tried to switch mobile simm from virgin to O2 today. Connected with VM amazingly quickly got the PAK code got popped over to O2 to sort out transfer of number, and that's where it went south, FAST. The order was in wifes name, she's the account holder, which I've tried to change many many times over the years to no avail. Now I had to drag her in the answer my security questions, which she had no answer for because I'm the mobile account holder....still with me? I had to give her my security answers to pass on, so now she knows my security answers, good job they weren't my GF's name, joke by the way, before someone jumps in. So the solution was.......cancel the new account as 02 couldn't change the account holders name, refund my £6, and now I have to go to the 02 shop in town to get a new simm and get that linked to my (wifes) VM account.
Anyone think this will be easy? Still, it will fun to watch the poor assistant in the shop sort this mess out.

3 irritations closely linked.?
1. People who have absolutely zero comprehension of the size of vehicle they're driving....
2. People who don't care where they leave their vehicle as long as it's convenient for them.
3. People who don't have the talent to drive the vehicle they've chosen....

3 separate incidents seen in Tesco car park within 45 seconds of each other about 15 minutes ago.....
Maybe they're still pissed......?

The standard of driving has definitely dropped in the last 20 years, that and people show far less consideration for others.
