Random Irritations

The wife of neighbours across the road. She has been out in the car every day for over a week. No idea where she goes but one day she told Mrs 3OTT she had been for some ice for her G and T. This was around 3 p.m..

She thought it was OK to go out in the car and then walk and OK for her hubby to go fishing; I told her otherwise.

Yesterday she was out for over 2 hours and when we returned from our walk today she was out again. Challenged her husband half jokingly but made the point. He is a retired policeman so let’s see what happens tomorrow.

Totally irresponsible.

Did you forget about 12401? Or is this an echo ?
 
Bike snobs. Everytime I see a cyclist I wave and say hi. At least 50% of road cyclists clad in their lycra with their shiny expensive bikes just completely ignore me. I'm a reasonable cyclist but these days like to pootle along a bit on my hybrid - especially as I'm not that bike fit after a wet winter. I imagine them on their forums complaining about all the weekend warrior cyclists taking up their oxygen and tarmac at the moment! "Who do they think they are? Tootling along on their heavy bikes, wearing god knows what, and with a cadence of about 50, daring to acknowledge me as if we're in the same gang".

Ignorant gits!

I agree, just back and a couple of those “proper Cyclists” just ignored me as well! At least you’re not alone.:)

Used to get that when mountain biking from the roadies. They can keep their skinny tyres and soul-less riding.:)

No I had not forgotten. Could not bring myself to reporting them As feel the softly softly approach preferable. Will definitely not report now.

He is a ’friend’ of 6 ex bobbies I play golf with who are on our What’s App Group. I have not commented on there.

It’s a difficult situation, you have to live with these people afterwards. maybe the ice for her g&t is essential?
Whatever gets you through
 
The next door neighbours' grandmother visiting to deliver Easter eggs to the kids. The irritating part is that she is an NHS nurse.

Plastic ice tray? Get 2 if you are drinking a lot of gin.

It's hard for everyone but will be harder still if lockdown gets stretched out because people are spreading it by their movement.
 
Seems to me like loads of people have been waiting for this!! ‘Is that really an essential journey?’
Some seem to be loving it....the power!!
 
An 11 hour day in an office with no window and no air con. Cooked. The unit was no better and was glad to be able to don the PPE gear this afternoon to take supplies of bottled water to all of the various pods dealing with the Covid patients. Coming home and watching a lot of people disregarding the advice
 
Oh my irritating envy...In this lovely weather, seeing pairs of guys and gals whizzing past in their cool soft top sports cars with the top down heading out to get their essential shopping - though seemingly lost as they drive at speed around quiet country roads trying to find their way back to the main roads and the supermarkets.:confused:

Some runners are same, hurts them to put their hand up and acknowledge the fact we're both out there dying together.
 
People that give their poor kids horrendous names.

Just seen on Instagram Blair ONeill has had her sprog and called him Chrome!! She's also created him an Instagram account and tagged him in the picture ?

I feel for the kid with a name like that

Yeah I cringed at that. She's fit though, so I'll forgive her.

It's a bit similar to some of the threads on here occasionally where you get handicap snobbery. Whatever the pastime or hobby it is a shame when one group believe they are superior, it says a great deal more about them though
