Harry Potter Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 There was a guy at my gym yesterday, whistling out loud for about 25 minutes. I had headphones in and was listening to heavy metal / goregrind style music on about 75% volume. I could still hear the prick. Arsehole. Used to work beside a serial whistler, was very strange.

BM1874 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Lolz My kids are spoilt rotten and there's a treat and biscuit jar. They get treats on a daily basis however common sense is applied. Her dad attempts his hardest to get a reaction from his daughter by going against her or both our wishes constantly. It's generally not an issue or rather we let it slide because it's not exactly anything major however he's got worse as he's got older. The last straw which resulted in us saying enough was when we went away on holiday and we caught a shuttle bus in the complex. He jumped on the first available with my son and left us all at the main hotel. He was sat next to my son and unclipped his seat belt telling him he didn't have to do everything his parents said. The driver had to brake quickly and my son banged his head off the metal handrail in front of him. A couple of weeks later the dick called my mobile by mistake and left a 3 min voicemail which was him having a conversation with her brother. He completely laid into his daughters parenting skills and told the story about my son banging his head but said it was her who unclipped the belt! That's just a tip of the iceberg with him and some of the trouble he's caused. With parents/grandparents like him who needs enemies! At least you got the disgusting part right. Have slight empathy here My father in law goes against majority of what we say, eh what not to give our 5 year old, but the scale on which is maybe 2/3% of what you described. Yikes, feel for you dealing with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I would seriously consider saying to him that he would not see his grandkids again until he changed his behaviour I'd have done it years ago bud however the Mrs wouldn't go for that. She now goes round there on her own most of the time. He's just been put in place 10 mins ago as she told him we were getting the kids new tablets for Christmas and he's gone out and bought them! It might seem a really nice gesture to some however whenever we buy the kids something he gets the same but generally more expensive/better! I keep telling the Mrs not to tell them what we're getting [emoji85] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 9 years anticipation, 2 years since the live show, full backing of the BBC behind them, and all the hype and publicity it was gifted, I'd personally expected more than "Ya *****!", co.ck jokes, and about 10 minutes of a pensioner getting stuck in a bath. Maybe I just have much higher standards and expectations than some when it comes to comedy though.

That's why I keep mine on the thermostat. That way the boiler just comes on for a few minutes every couple of hours and the flat is toasty all day. Beats the arse off boiling for two hours and then hoping it stays warm. Probably use the same amount of gas as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Audi Q7 comes along and I reverse a bit to make parking easier for it's driver. The stupid mare just leaves it where she stopped i.e. about a foot into my space! Fortunately for her I was only going to be there another minute or two or she would have got a right earful. Hopefully a warden might have got her for parking outwith the designated space.

Solid Snake Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Edinburgh Council. Absolutely ****ing useless, in particular their council tax department. They've somehow set up three Direct Debits on my account for council tax, which resulted in two of them failing due to lack of funds. My bank have subsequently charged me for the two failed Direct Debits. Try to call Edinburgh Council to sort out all the issues as none of the (clearly automated) letters they have sent me previously make any sense and all I get through to is an automated help line.

Sooperstar Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 So annoying. I bet the welt just drove on regardless. Happened to me a few years ago at the Hermiston Gate roundabout. Prick cut straight across and banged into me. Insurance went haffers because the companies stated it was notoriously difficult to attribute blame on roundabouts. That is bollox for a start. It was the arseholes fault and I regret not calling the police at the time. I've mentioned it before in this thread but it astounds me how people can't stick to their Lane at roundabouts. It's usually someone in the first or second lane who is going straight on and while going round the roundabout ends up cutting right across into the lane for turning right. Arseholes.

Cyprus Jambo Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I can't understand how people come to a roundabout which has 2 lanes, 2 exits (left and straight on) and they have their right indicator on for straight on. Or use the left lane for straight on. Road rage every day coming home via Rosewell to Mayfield along distributor Road in Bonnyrigg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is incredible. Sometimes I can appreciate that someone might be in the wrong lane (for whatever reason that might be), but if that's the case then they should remain in the lane they are in and only change if they are 100% certain it is safe to do so. Otherwise they should just continue in the incorrect lane. It might add a few extra minutes onto their journey time but it's better to be safe than sorry. But instead many people just seem to panic and just swerve over. Arseholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of C U Next Tuesday's that use the outside lane to go straight over into Sighthill is staggering. And the bams think they are right. I had a complete arsehole glare at me as I was in the inside lane and going over into Sighthill but she wanted to cut across from the outside. She got both barrels after I let her have her wee shake of the head. As far as I got taught, unless otherwise indicated, the inside lane is for straight ahead or left and the outside for turning right.

Rousset1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It is not rocket science... Yeah, but it's not always as straight forward as your diagram. A number of smaller roundabouts have three lane approaches and if the drivers are not familiar with the road markings they could make a genuine error. Having said that, most drivers are lazy and or selfish so who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
