Random Irritations

[Wolf]

Walking into work on first Saturday shift at new place to find plant room completely flooded, all power out because water got into electrics and no chlorune dosing units filters working knowing in 10mins there's due to be an influx of angry parents that can't take the kids to swim lessons.. Happy Saturday

People that arrange pointless meetings. I'm sure they only do it to try to feel important. Got "invited" to a meeting yesterday that I couldn't get out of. Out of my twelve hour day about 7 minutes were useful. The guy that arranged it spent most of the time on the phone or talking to other people about different projects while I processed data on my laptop. If I hadn't had 4 hours of travelling and a 2 hour lunch with his manager I would have finished everything yesterday. Now got to work today to finish it up. And the worst part is, at the end he said "Well I found that very useful. Let's do it again on Tuesday next week".

Up early this morning, out playing golf. Didn't play the full 18 due to the howling gale but that wasn't the irritation, I actually had a nice time. Came home and put the Liverpool game on. Annoyingly they won, but not irritating. No, I fell asleep towards the end of the game due to the cold windswept golf and woke up to find my wife and daughter watching Love Actually on the tv . It's a Saturday, Soccer Saturday rules and this guff is on the tv. Now that is irritating.

They should be banished from the house

Phil Thompson. In fact the whole soccer Saturday pundit panel - they sound like a bunch of half-wits. Now what side is Love Actually on?!

Attending a wedding at Eshot Hall in Northumberland, there are two of the wife’s workmates with us so I know in a couple of hours they’ll be dancing and I’ll be Billy no mates at the table.
Time to power drink methinks 🤔😂

Spend a pretty penny on these ice white Christmas drop lights for outside the house, taking an hour to put up. They stay lit for 3 minutes, then a plug pop and they go out National Lampoon style!

Martin Freeman being incredibly smug in the Vodafone adverts.

The fake Tesco adverts where d list celebs, I'm being kind, discuss Christmas food and drink. Fake, fake, fake, painful.

Parent and child extra wide parking spaces fair enough, but why do they need to be so near to the shop entrance. I see the reason for disabled parking spaces near the entrance . But why for young fit people with kids.

To save young kids running around car parks where they could be easily hit by car - the least amount of time the kids are exposed in the car park the better.

How do they manage crossing roads or shopping in town with kids. They should be supervised not running around.

Yes they should be it’s not always like that and sometimes it can be a bit of nightmare sorting shopping etc.

But I always ask the same question - is that much of a deal having the slots close to the door ? I have been in a number where they aren’t close to the doors

Totally agree.
Kids are exposed to cars/danger all the time.
That’s where responsible parents with common sense come into play.

How many restraints do you use

I can’t believe how hard people make out it is to go shopping with a child.
It’s a child,not a wild animal.
If you put the child in the car seat and it cry’s during the 3mins it takes for you to put your shopping in the boot,don’t worry....it’ll be fine.

Everything I watch on tv (except sports) has been recorded and I then skip through the adverts.

The signage becomes invisible if you drive a Chelsea tractor/German car or hold an EU passport...
