Default Daily irritants (not quite bah! humbug)

What really grinds your goat that happens on a daily basis? You know - every single day without exception?

For me, its the following.

Some little brat's chav-mother who keeps shouting him in at least three times a day shouting at the top of her voice KAYAWWWWLL (kyle)

My cat meowing for food the second I get out of bed (and half the time beforehand)

Someone's friggin mangy mutt barking to be let in between 4 and 7 (AM)

Oh im gonna stop before I shoot myself...

I could never do such a thing! As much as I might complain, I sure would miss the meowing when he dies (which at 18 or so years old I dont think is that far off .)

Well my daily irritant happened again today

Freeking cyclists
They ride at 1000mph on the pavements
And they always seem to target me .... Why should I move out of their way

Why dont they either walk or get a bus if they cannot drive a car

Grrrrrrr... Ok now.... Rant over...

oooo I so agree, and they are so aggressive too, and people in those disabled carriages going very fast in pedestrianised areas and screaming at you to get out of their way.

For example, in the last week of term, I was walking the monkey home after school and this little toad on a boke, riding on the pavement, ringing his bell saying "bicycle coming, MOVE", lets just say that I tore him off a shred and gave him a lesson in manners

I wouldnt mind so much but I live in a new town and there are miles and fecking miles of cycle paths!!!

Lets hope we are lucky enough to not have to ever need one and go through the daily frustrations of using one.

I push a wheelchair and the IGNORANT people you come accross on a daily basis is astounding.

I could rant all day over some of the things that have happened .Disabled parking places taken by LAZY people is just one .

~My point Janet is that there is a set speed limit in situations like I described and that is 4 mph, in a pedestrianised area people are walking all over the place and kiddies running about, they are supposed to be able to be safe, but some of these carriage owners consider it to be their own particular domain and have total right of way.

I too push a wheelchair around on occasion and have found that some people can be very ignorant, but equally most people are most polite and accommodating to the needs of a wheelchair user/pusher

Impatient drivers when your car breaks down, and there is nothing you can do.
