Thread: Need a place to moan? Don't need a reply? Fill your boots!

i always try the polite approch first and just tell them im not interested and most of the time this works but you do get the odd one that wont give up , somtimes telling them where to stick whatever it is they are selling is the only way to get rid of them.

Well, she's defo coming now

But never mind! Now I can wear my brand new GORGEOUS stilletoes and not have to worry about towering over him :lol:

How lush are these! Only £20 from New Look

Wow! Stunning! Wish I could wear heels (can't walk in the buggers - actually, that's something to rant about :lol: ).

If i wanted to go to church i would stagger 50 yards down the road on a sunday morning with a hangover from hell to pray to god...as it is i stagger 5 yards to the bathroom and pray to him down the big white telephone..also known as a loo :twisted:

But no! along come 2 old ladies in their pac-a-macs, clutching their copies of watchtower, determined to either get you to sell your soul or buy a naff mag for 50 shiney pee! :twisted:

Yes and we were wondering if you could spare us five minutes
Bugger off! :twisted:

Oh erm yes well aah perhaps you would just like a magazine? 8O

Think yourself lucky you dont live with someone who is like this! my dad trys to force religion down my neck at every possible opertunity! I cant wait to move out in a couple of weeks.

I would have felled him with a right cross by now :twisted:

Fitted sheets my arse!! They never do after two washes, so you end up pinging yourself in the face while struggling to get them around three corners much less four :evil:

Bossy - you scare me!!!

why oh why oh why do clothes manufacturers lthing if ur a size 6 your twenty million feet tall !

Today i would like to spit the dummy about.....schools!! :twisted:

Back in June my youngest who has naturally very light blonde thick hair, decided that she would like it edged with purple ( using my left over purple dye) so i did it for her, around a depth of 3 inch around the bottom.

She went to school and had no problems, then the term ended for the summer holidays.

On her return on tuesday, complete with the purple, as its a permanent dye, she was hauled before the head of year who told her the dye was unacceptable as the new school rules dictated that hair cannot be two or more colours and as hers is, then she will be placed into isolation until it had gone.

Cue Bossy going absolutely ballistic :twisted:

I wrote to the school and in no uncertain terms explained that the hair dye is a permanent dye and thereforth cannot be washed out, instead it has to either be re-coloured, stripped or cut. Neither of those are an option, so the dye stays. I also explained to them that every child in the UK has a right to an education regardless of creed, sexuality and age, without fear of harrassment or intimidation. As my daughter has been placed in isolation with pupils who are also placed there for disruption in class, none attendance and such as, my daughter feels that she is being intimidated and harrassed. Also, that isolation can have an adverse effect upon ones learning. Etc blah.

That was yesterday.

Today my daughter has attended school, complete with the purple barnet and that letter. So now i shall await the outcome.

Now for my rant :twisted:

WHAT THE BLOODY ELL DOES HER SODDING HAIR COLOUR
MATTER??? :twisted: :twisted:

Is it going to stop information being retained by her mind?
Is it going to have an adverse affect on her learning long divisions?
Is it going to turn her into a psycho?
Is it going to make her handwriting intelligable?
Is it going to turn her into some anti social, drug taking mis-fit?

NO, it aint!!! :twisted:

Now if i was a tree hugger i could state that they are supressing her individuality thus contravening some human rights law or some other such rubbish, but i aint...i could be, but i aint. However on this matter i may just become one :twisted:

She attends school each day, she dresses in the appropiate uniform as per requirements and she is in the top sets of all her subjects and she is still determined to fulfill her lifelong ambition to become a defence lawyer.

Today i shall mostly be locking horns with headmasters! :twisted:

Sorry guy, but tonight i'm in the modd for a bit of a rant!
Tonights topic, Mobile phones!
Its not so much the fact that they go off on the train, in the restaurant or whatever, i actually dont mind that, doesnt bother me. What gets to be about mobile phones is the fact mine doesnt go off! I dont know about you but i carry my phone everywhere, its always in my pocket, even when i'm at home. Its by my bed at night, its in my pocket all day and currently i'm sat at my desk and its sat next to me, winking at me, "i'm not ringing, i havent rang for 3 days, no one loves you." P'ing me off! I've changed the wallpaper on it so i dont have my mate/OH looking back at me anymore, that really did get too much, but would it just ring!
Its a constant reminder that i'm alone, and i hate it. I should just leave it downstairs on the shelf, but i cant, just in case it rings, even tho i know it wont! how daft is that!
I hate my mobile phone! grrrrr
Rant over
Spin

Here here! And also, why is it when you leave your mobile at home when you go to work you think "Oh shit, I'm probably missing an important call/text" yet when you get home there's no new messages and no missed calls :roll:

Ditto you two - so three weeks ago in a pique of annoyance i switched the damn thing off, only for my curiosity to get the better of me less than 15 min later, to find out that I'd missed the important call from my OH that I'd been waiting for, GRRR GRRRR GRRRR

Oh nooooooooooooooooooo!

Sod's flippin law that!

RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

why is it my boss feels its exceptable to drag me to Paris at the last moment

stick me in some SH^t HOTEL...

with know idea when i am leaving doesn't he know i have a LIFE...

Total Loser... Not Fair RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why is it he can ring me when I'm out with the girls on a hen do and didnt want to talk coz I had things to do, and drinks to drink, and he wanted to speak to all my mates and wouldnt let me get off the phone...

Yet tonight and another night when I REALLY need to speak to him and have sent several texts, he doesnt call or reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am so pissed off right now... :x :x :x

GRR!

I hate going to bed angry, i have arguments in my head and wind myself up!

Today i would like to gripe about Utility companies and Bailiffs :twisted:

Back in august my parents decided that they would like to switch from one power supplier to another after 45 years with the same company. Mrs Bossy elder arranged a switchover and Npower told her they would send her a final bill and close her account..great.

Two weeks went by and Mrs Bossy elder still hadn't recieved her bill, so she duly phoned again and was informed that it would be sent.

Another 2 weeks went by and the performance was repeated.

Mrs Bossy elder then phoned Npower yet again and she was told her final bill was £23.50. Mrs Bossy elder paid this there and then with her switch card. Transaction completed, everyone happy except..........

Two weeks later, Mrs Bossy elder recieved a letter from Npower threatening court action and bailiffs if she didn't pay the £23.50 outstanding. :twisted:

Mrs Bossy elder promptly had a nervous breakdown and Mr Bossy senior almost had a heart fauilure.

My parents have never believed in debt and credit and have never so much as owned a credit card, they always pay their bills promptly, in cash, on the nail.

Mrs Bossy elder after using up an entire box of tissues, phoned her bank who agreed that yes the payment had indeed gone through. She then phoned Npower and told them this. The bint who was probably around 17 years old and busy dreaming of marriage and babies to Robbie Williams also agreed that yes, the account was clear and now closed.

Until yesterday :twisted:

Yesterday i decided to visit the parents and pay homage to Mrs Bossy elders baking ( her apple pie is to die for ) just as i was about to take my first bite there was a knock on the door. Mrs Bossy elder answered it and i could hear her beginning to get a tad hysterical. Sighing, i put down the slice of pie and went to see what the commotion was about.

On Mrs Bossy elders doorstep was some ugly bruiser who was waving a piece of paper around. The ugly bruiser was a bailiff sent by Npower to collect either cash or goods.

Mrs Bossy elder was having another breakdown and i was seeing red, not just any old red, but a rather fetching shade of scarlet. :twisted:

I shoved the bruiser off the doorstep and told him to go away, Bossy style, however the bruiser was having none of it and called the police. By now Mrs Bossy elder had her head in the gas oven and was scribbling her farewell note.

Eventually the police arrived and eventually the situation was resolved when the bruiser had a chink of sense and phoned Npower, who duly informed him that the bill was paid in full, the account was closed and ooops, sorry we forgot to tell you. :twisted:

The police left and the bailiff didn't so much as apologise, mind you i think he was finding it difficult since as Bossy was kicking his sorry head in at the time :twisted:

Mr Bossy senior arrived home some hour or so later, wanting to know why Mrs Bossy elder was trying to roast her head and where had all the apple pie gone?

My gripe is, how can a company mess up so much? They can't send a simple bill out, yet they can send the bailiffs! Its absolutely outrageous that they can terrorise people in such a way, particularly the elder customers who have never owed a penny to anyone in their lives. :twisted: :twisted:

What a crock, Bossy!! That's a shocking lack of competance on Npower's part and it makes me really angry. I'd write into one of the consumer pages of the nationals and get compensation. Are you going to lodge a complaint with them direct?
SC

I did that yesterday in writing SC.
It will be interesting to see what sorry excuse they come up with.

Today i would like to gripe about smoking...oh yes! :twisted:

I am a confirmed addict of tobacco. I have spent the past 30 odd years of my life puffing away quite happily on 30 fags a day. I refuse to go anywhere where i can't have a fag and people who know me know better than to try and take them away from me :twisted:

However, Mr Bossy doesn't smoke and never has.

Now my gripe is this.....

Mr Bossy knew i smoked when i first met him, indeed i was chewing a fag upon introduction to him. Since that day Mr Bossy has grumbled about my fags which gets him absolutely nowhere as i merely point out that he knew i smoked when he met me so he has no grounds for complaint and is best shutting it sharpish :twisted:

Now, the goverment has decided that the Mr Bossys of this world need to be protected from the Mrs Bossys and will ban smoking in public places forthwith! :twisted:

This has led to an argument in the Bossy household. I informed Mr Bossy that some years ago, every pub had what was called a 'smoking' room or a 'tap hole' call it what you will, where all the Bossys could go and smoke in peace away from the moaning Mr Bossys with a drink or 10. If the Mr Bossys wanted to join me, thats fine as long as they put up and shut up, but i wouldn't go into the Mr Bossys room and inflict my fag smoke on the other Mr Bossys. Which i think is a fair and reasonable point.

However, Mr Bossy seems to fail to grasp the concept of this point which in turn made Bossy chew on another 10 fags while trying to explain again. :twisted:

Why should the Bossys of this world be made to feel like anti social lepers? Why can i not sit with all the other apparant anti social lepers in our own little den away from the ridiculous ahem ahem coughs and dirty looks of the Mr Bossys?

If someone chooses not to smoke thats fine, i dont have a problem with that, what i do have a problem with is being made to feel anti social when all i want is a quiet drink and a fag in my local. Will the Mr Bossys of this world please shut the f**k up, thank you! :twisted:
