So I go out to cut the grass and the bloody birds, emboldened by their not being a cat in residence have stripped my redcurrant bush bare. Winged bastards!
 
WTF. These guys are surfers of a different kind. So they ride on top of things like cranes, lifts and trains(Which they describe as fun). It's a crazy world out there people.
 
Builders being **** in respect to providing quotations. Least they are round my way. "Sorry mate, been really busy be with you by Friday evening."

It's monday morning, where the **** is it?

I'm with you on this one. So my landlord finally arranges to have back wooden stairs replaced(Been broke for years). Builder says I'm to leave back gate open a certain day. Not only doesn't turn up, turns up 3 days later. So then I have a massive pile of wood regarding old stairs. Builder says it will be removed by rubbish removal men on the Wednesday in 6 days. Again, I am to leave tall back gate open. They don't turn up, they come a week later. Sorry about that, very busy. Heavy solid wood pile and rain, lawn now ruined. It's so annoying when you expect them, and plan your day around it, and they don't turn up, and don't even phone to say sorry or book the time when they will turn up. I just couldn't operate or treat customers that way.

Wait until they disappear to buy 'materials' and turn up three hours later with egg yolk down their top.

They seem to be a law unto themselves. We had one guy come round and he quoted within 30 minutes of leaving - he missed out so much that we asked for so he was a no no. One cancelled within 30 minutes only to say he'd re-arrange the next day and never rung. I've already moaned about another. It's not a small job, a months worth of work (so I've been told) so a nice little payday. Are they rolling in it? I had another plasterer years back who said they were scrabbling around for work - it's on a ****ing plate here!

Ha! We have the same problem with a cherry tree in the back garden every year (especially now that our cat is no longer with us, either. Still a couple of mornings or pre-dawn choruses from very happy birds forced us into action a week or so back.All the clafouti cakes my wife made as a result were a welcome reward.

The lady in the Kia who just had to overtake my bike at 50mph missing me by a foot on Canvey yesterday.
 
Had a family party Sunday 30+ people.Filled the remaining space in the recycle bin to the brim with empty bottles.Filled a blue crate with empties as well.Left 3 cardboard wine cases with empty bottles in.Binmen left the carboard winecases and the bottles.The reason ...the carboard wasn't flat.Off to the bottle bank which will be filled to the brim!!
 
Back from school sports day but at next to a parent/grandparent whose every other word was four letters rhyming with duck. I swear, but time and a place, and a junior school isn't it. His wife was not much better.
 
People who pick at food, especially in public, are really boiling my blood today. Sat opposite some bloke on the train earlier, eating one of those plastic cheese slices. Took him five minutes to eat it, quite literally picking off bits the size of a pea. He then got a sandwich out of his bag, so I had to move seats, as I could feel myself filling with rage.

I don't mind that as such but i HATE it when people eat with their mouths open and chomp away. The noise is unbearable and I want to scream in their faces.
 
I'm a binman and some ignorant house had left 3 cardboard boxes filled to the brim of empty bottles yesterday morning. I'm guessing they must have had some sort of family/friend party as they were all whine bottles, and there must have been at least 20 of them. How do they expect me to take them if the cardboard isn't folded flat? He should have just took them to the bottle bank.
