I never know what to say when answering. In the past you might have said your number, but nobody knows numbers any more just address book contacts. You might have said your name, but mobile phones are personal. So I just say "hello" these days.
Sorry if that annoys you.
Hello is the acceptable way, but saying "yep" or "yeah" is just rude.Sorry if that annoys you.
;)Rucksacks on public transport, not the small normal ones but those big huge things that take up another persons place!
Oh and public transport in this heat, people who smell and people who pick up the free papers in the morning and then just read the headlines and chuck them away.
Did I mention people who smell?

It's all part of the American attempt at world domination........ what next, Thanksgiving in the UK?
Well the way things are going (and we are getting this in common) we could have a National Bloaters Day.The UK is turning into a nation of waddling freaks. Young girls with tits front back and sides. Monster truck sized individuals convincing each other that they`re `happy within themselves` and that everyone slim is a `stick insect`.
Here`s another thing that busts my tits. It`s ok to say to someone "Oh! you`re losing weight" or "You could do with putting stone on" etc but try saying that to a chubster. "By the way Marion you`re packing the beef on", or "I have to say Carol you could do with losing a couple of stone".
No offence intended for any budding Humpty Dumpties out there.

independence day i.e. today 4th July might be a little odd.

At the beach for a couple of hours with the missus. We climb up into the dunes to find somewhere peaceful to sit and soak up some rays. Find somewhere nice and pitch camp. We were there an hour or so when a large family of middle class, middle aged people arrive with their multi-national brood of children and decide to set down right next to us in a small patch of sand amongst the grass. Kids then start digging holes and flinging sand around - peace destroyed.
We move away to find a new spot, but no sooner had I found one some people appear from behind the grass and set down right where I was pointing to. So we carry on and find another spot, this one even more secluded, brilliant. Within ten minutes a family of loud, Eastern European-sounding people arrive and also decide they like this secluded, small area and set down a few meters from us.
By now I'd had enough and opt to walk back to the car and have ice creams.
I know everyone has the right to be where they want on the beach, but the one weekend-day I have off this month I wanted to be a happy time that was just right, instead it was spoiled by people who were just desperate to be where I was, wherever I went.

People on Gumtree not responding to calls/texts/emails regarding their adverts.
Don't you want to sell your item FFS?
Buyers are just as bad. I tried selling something a while back and replying straight back to about 3 emails a day, usually just saying 'is it still for sale' it still took fDon't you want to sell your item FFS?
king forever. I mean I could understand not replying if you asked for more details and then decided it wasn't the one for you.One guy actually came out to pick said item up, couldn't find my house and went home, without calling me to say he was lost as he came out without his phone. Who in this day and age comes out to a house they have never been to before to someone they have never met, without their phone to call them if they get lost.
I basically gave up on several other items as people were too f
king stupid to be able to complete a simple trade.Also people don't read the advert. I was selling an oven a while back which clearly was a built in double oven to go in a tall unit. Despite this being quite clear in the advert and the photo, I had people ask for the height and then say it won't fit under their counter. Of course it won't, it is not that sort of oven and clearly isn't.
