Parents who let their kids run riot around a pub/ eating place/ supermarket etc then when they are at the other end of the building instead of going to get them just scream the child’s name as loud as possible repeatedly to get them back.
In Tesco today woman with two boys who were looking at games as she went off onto another isle screams ‘boys’ at least 5 times to get them to follow her.
I like to walk past parents like that and say...In Tesco today woman with two boys who were looking at games as she went off onto another isle screams ‘boys’ at least 5 times to get them to follow her.
"Oh yeah, I need condoms".
...loud enough for them to hear.
I now also do this hahaPeople buying German cars to impress the next door neighbour / the people at work / the dog who is a "German" Shepherd.
Anyone ever seen a "German" Shepherd dog winning One Man and His Dog?
No, I didn't think so.

The guy who was surprised that his new XC90 had an autobraking feature. I'd already worked out you weren't prepared to stop when I was on the zebra crossing, but it was nice that instead of me having to step backwards, your car's maximum braking woke you up.
City Safe. My V40 has it and f
k me it stops quick. Errant cyclists cutting in front in slow moving traffic set it off too.The dumb-arse Doris in a large Ford MPV thing this morning.
Lucky I had my wits about me, and looked left as well as right at the roundabout, because if I'd pressed on regardless "because priority" then she'd have taken the front off my car.
She came blasting through from the left, well above the speed limit, didn't even glance in my direction, all the while holding a china mug up near her face with her right hand. I swear she was blowing on whatever was in the cup to cool it down, while straight-lining across a roundabout at peak commute time.
When I caught up to her at another roundabout, she was going straight over and I was going left, so I "snuck" up on her nearside, and gave a long blast of the horn while alongside. I do so hope I startled her enough that she spilled her drink...

knob head in the merc earlier that reversed out of his drive at warp speed to ensure he got out in front of me. He then very slowly pulled onto the carriageway proper, sat and adjusted his mirrors, fastened his seatbelt and then slowly pulled away. I have no idea what that was all about but had he waited until I passed the road was empty.

Also companies that do not reply to online applications or emails are just rude. sixty one jobs applied for two automated and one human reply so far this week.
Perhaps those companies who haven’t replied read PH and just don’t want you working for them.
Oh that reminds me.
During an interview yesterday I was asked if I read the Daily Mail and how I voted in the EU referendum.
Sorry; but if the answers to those questions was a determining factor to getting the job I probably don't want to work there.

Do you read the Daily Mail? = Are you a gullible puppet? How did you vote in the EU referendum? = Are you racist?

Isn’t the latter illegal? Your vote is private and has no place in a job interview surely?During an interview yesterday I was asked if I read the Daily Mail and how I voted in the EU referendum.

People on the A14 driving at ~55mph when conditions are neither foggy nor torrential rain. If you are not confident to drive at or near the speedlimit maybe you should find an alternative route. I don't care that you're driving a Nissan Micra, I know that they can exceed 55mph!
If it was NSL, 55 is not slow. If that section was MW or DC then an overtake of 'slower' drivers is the manouvre of choice.

i'd be intrigued to know what sort of career you are in if you have had made 65 applications with no interview, and then had this one interview where they asked bullsDuring an interview yesterday I was asked if I read the Daily Mail and how I voted in the EU referendum.

Interesting!I have a V90 with the same system and have occasionally tried to provoke it without success so Im keen to know the circumstances in which you taught him a lesson good and proper

I have a V40 with City Safe and it has gone off a few times. A couple of times with cyclists cutting across in front in slow moving traffic, other times when I have pulled into gaps a bit quick and it picks up the car in front. I've not had a pedestrian set it off yet though.I have a V90 with the same system and have occasionally tried to provoke it without success so Im keen to know the circumstances in which you taught him a lesson good and proper
