Random Irritations

[fundy]

Shaking my head right now.

Went to do some odd jobs at the marital home in Chesham which is sold subject to contract

While I was in the garden, heard an almighty altercation seemingly between 2 women coming from the road to the side of our house
went out the front to see what was going on and there were 2 young women on their phones to 2 separate people each having 2 very loud sweary arguments

I walked up stopped and looked over my specs at them in that “really” tone of look

They both stopped ranting looked at me and said “what”?

I said , “ bit loud ladies, I can hear you from 5 houses away and would you mind cutting out the swearing, there’s young families around. “
Very polite, but to the point,

Then one of them says that the only reason I’m talking to them like that is because they are black,

Well I wasn’t expecting that, but replied that I’d say the same to anyone who was causing a disturbance

Then I got the BLM slogan quoted at me
And I said that blank lives do matter but that doesn’t mean you can do what you like.

They then threatened to call the police on me for being racist

At this point a neighbour opened their door and said to go ahead and call, she would back me up 200%

They then marched past and away shouting obscenities

Nice ?

Mods gonna Mod

i can never believe the number of people i see out doing normal tasks just can't help filming themselves doing it...

True.
What amazes me more are the people filming themselves doing nothing, not even normal tasks. On several occasions I have seen women spending an hour in the same place taking selfies.

Flies! Every two mins a bloody fly in here. Fly season has obviously begun. And moths in the evenings have come out in force this past week.

I don't even know where my wallet is anymore.

I know where mine is, but I can't remember when it went this long between cash top-ups...

I know that feeling, I used my wallet last Friday went to get petrol as I was getting my card out to Pay I found a crisp new tenner in there, must've been sat in there since at least start of march as have had no need for cash since pre lockdown.

Also only 2nd time in 3 months I'd put petrol in my car

We bought a new chair for my home office/guitar studio (!!) yesterday. Price was £150 and we were about to pay contactless when David opened his wallet and said "I'll give you £100 cash"...guy hesitated and then put his hand out! Never known David ever do anything like that!! Thank goodness they didn't spit in their palms and shake on it.

Someone has just wished their friend a happy 33nd birthday on Facebook.

Not an irritation, but wow how much has fuel dropped?! I filled up my XC90 for about 60 quid last week! It has taken 98 quid before!!

Buttons to turn on/off on pieces of equipment whereby you have to hold the button in for what seems like an eternity before the piece of kit actually turns on/off.

You can't even give cash away now - nobody wants to take it.
