I knew one who always enquired how I played. I would respond with a banal ‘ok’ or ‘ poorly’ which he took as an invitation start at the first and describe his next 17 holes.

Unfortunately for me, he outranked me in our military group, and so I couldn’t be a rude as I wanted to be,

2. There are 2 Security gates on the way in to the store......Right hand side blocked by people having a chat.....left hand side blocked by people having a chat....

Some can even tell you every yardage into every green and what club they hit into each hole.

ie. my regular partner!
I played with a guy recently who used his rangefinder for, literally, every shot, even for chip and run onto the green. He then took an eternity marking, polishing and lining up his ball for the putt.
Drove us nuts

Conservatory half-flooded. The back doors aren't quite flush as they've dropped ever so slightly, and I think the gutter above them might have been blocked and started sending water directly into the gap at the top of the door during the downpour last night. Got towels all over the floor soaking it up now. Yet another thing that needs fixing. 😞

When someone gives you a bottle of wine and says "I made it myself".
1 Youll force a smile and say "Ooh we'll try it later".
2 If/when you try it youll pull the same face as when you suck a lemon.
3 Youll lie when you next see them "It was quite pleasant".

Indeed but what do you do? Point blank refuse it and offend their feelings. A bit of a no win situation

I make my own wine and it's lovely, especially at £1.30 a bottle

I'm pretty sure the work I did scarifying and over-seeding my lawn was a waste of time, for the first time in the 10yrs we've lived here I have puddles on the grass! It's also a stark reminder I need to try and find a roofer who will actually turn up.
