Random Irritations

Played golf with a chap I used to play with before my brief hiatus. Jeez I don’t know who he’s been playing with but he was so slow.
On one of the holes, rather than finish the hole he ran to fetch his lighter out the car. I finished the hole and tee’d off ready on the next. He came back and asked if I was in a rush. :ROFLMAO: We had a couple behind us.
He lost his ball on one hole then had a dig at me for not immediately helping him look for it. I had to explain the rule that I was to hit my ball first, then help.
Then to top it off he decided to have a chat with passing group. Gave up on the 15th.
Don’t know who he’s been playing with but it was awful. thankgod you can’t touch the flagstick otherwise I’d of been really miffed.
 
People who don't know their jobs.

He has been up here years and always asks me to change over trains (where we put one train on another's path so instead of ending up Inna siding it ends up in a depot so they can work on it)

He always asks when they have left the point of no return

Just know your job!!!
 
Inconsiderate neighbours and their inconsiderate builders. :mad:

In spades!

Saturday, during the community sing-a-long/BBQ. Saw bench.
Sunday, 8:30am. Saw bench.
Today, 8:30am. Saw bench. TBF, 8:30am on a working day I can usually accept without a second thought but day 3 of his ark building is driving me nuts! Looking at what he's building, the noisy grunt work should be done today.

And London Transport...

"Don't use public transport; use your car if you can" but reinstating the congestion charge and increasing it by about 45% as well...
