Oooh! an excuse for a rant!

The Argos adverts during "Coronation Street" - I have to mute the sound.

Why is everything "incredible" these days? It's incredibly annoying!

"Mist and murk" - a new weather condition in recent years. Whatever happened to plain old mist?

People on TV who can't speak without flapping their arms up and down.

"Reaching out" - can't people simply ask/contact/talk to others now, without being so over-emotive?

"Mental health" - don't get me started!
As Bernie in Corrie said about 3 years ago: "Twenty years ago we were stressed; twenty years before that we were just plain old worried; these days, you run out of teabags it impacts your mental health."

"Hard-working families" - a meaningless glib favourite of politicians.

The over-sweet patronising voice of the woman on the CareCo adverts on daytime TV.

"One pence".


And so on! Yes, I know I'm a grumpy old woman.

I agree about bad manners, but people round here still queue at bus stops. The buses are rarely full and quite often people will let me on first - because I am ancient!! I always thank them. :-)

As with most people I think bad manners is at the top of my list .

Queuing is almost non existence now especially at bus stops . If I have waited for a bus and someone comes from nowhere to push in I will tell them .

Something that annoys me but OH doesn't mind is the music at the start of some programmes that is a lot louder than then actual programme so I have to keep changing the volume.
Maybe I'm just a grumpy old woman :-D

Bad manners top of my list too.
People pushing in front of me in a line, no one is more important than me nor me more important than anyone else.

Being spoken down to as though I am a pleb

Dear All

Good morning

Hope you are well.

What things or people really annoy you or make you speechless at their actions or inactions?

(Apart from being asked questions like this!) :-S

My own gripes at the moment are:

Young people who like the sound of their own voices but cannot do their job for toffee. :-P

The words; engage, facilitate and health and safety assessment. :-P



Take gentle care
Love EOS
