Random Irritations

Neighbours, next door but one either side flouting the lockdown. One doing it a couple of times a week and the other doing it a couple of times a day.

But that isn't what bothers me. Every time Mrs Hobbit sees it she has a right good rant, but not at them.

As for the flouters; their choice, their risk, their fine. And if they catch it and coming knocking at the door, their problem.

We've got a couple opposite doing the same and social distancing seems alien to them. Another neighbour had a right go at the wife very early in lockdown - serial offender at bedroom window and other neighbour in the road...it was highly amusing as they're normally good pals and share a huge interest in cleaning everything that stays still enough to be cleaned!
 
7th jigsaw during lockdown and today the partial completed edge got destroyed and shoved back in the box. It's a random shaped edge and every piece a weird shape - spent two days putting about 6 pieces together. Enough was enough as my neck was killing me...so now it's sore fingers from trying to play a guitar for the first time!
 
people thinking it’s clever to walk down the middle of usually busy NSL roads. Seems the folk who lack common sense that drive on the roads have shifted on to walking on them while they’re stuck at home.

Come to Spain. Everyone walks down the middle of the road, moving ot the edge when a car comes...…… usually once an hour.
 
Yeah, it's an ongoing problem. We decided to let it settle after recent filling and do root canal if that didn't resolve it. Was fine for a while but getting bad again. I know that if I end up at the dental hospital all they can do is pull it out. :-(

I feel your pain as have had a number of root canals. Would rather that than lose the tooth so hopefully you can hang tough! Have you thought about temporary filling stuff? Might support it and help it settle?
 
Not sure that'll help as it was filled properly just back in December. Its a deep in the jaw sort of pain. Has been a bit better today so fingers crossed its going to settle for a while again.

Hopefully. I have a couple that play up from time to time but then settle again.

So what was "it" exactly? ?
 
People who have a go a others for even suggesting they are going to stand in the middle of a deserted playing field and hit golf balls, yet are quite happy to join in the scrum at any shopping outlet (food or otherwise).

It's getting really annoying.
 
I've need to get my bike serviced and there are 3 mobile cycle repair guys in my area but none of them are answering the phone or replying to emails despite saying they are still working.
 
Couples/people who live together who have to make a show of wishing each other happy birthday/anniversary/whatever on Facebook.
Can't they just say it? ?

Can I add to your irritation please?

Parents that wish their young children happy birthday on Facebook. These are kids that are far too young to have an account so will only see it if the parent shows it to them.

One of the major problems in Spain is oldish women walking 3 a breast on the pavement and will NOT move when you approach them.

May have changed now with lockdown but doubt it now some can resurface
