Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[Geoff D]

The fact that my dad will drive miles to save 1p on a litre of petrol irks me.

May as well deja vu reply: In narrow spaces it's impossible to get the baby carrier out of the back of the car if it's parked, with or without scratching up the car next to you. You should really let this one go.

When I'm on my own, I park as far away from the supermarket as possible so that people don't park next to me and dent my car. The extra walk won't hurt you either.

But that exact same argument is why parent and child spaces are pointless. Why not just go to the back of the car park if you need the space to get kids out? If the car park is full, you wouldn't have gotten one of those spaces anyway.

To me, it's not a necessity, it's a luxury so that parents don't have to walk as far. When I was looking up info about this spaces when this came up before I saw rant threads on parenting forums complaining about people with disabled stickers using parent and child spaces when the disabled spaces are full up and people talking about how they'll "have words" with them and stuff like that. I find that kind of thing sickening.

It sounds as if you think there's no benefit to mum's parking closer, in which case you need to have a look a bit closer. Have you tried carrying one of those baby carriers around (with a baby in)? It's meant to come straight out of the car and into a buggy, but at the supermarket, you put it on to a trolley. Might be alright for me to carry it all the way down the carpark, but for most mums, it's heavy.

If you've got kids that can jump in and out of the car on their own and use them, then that's wrong though.

Something else that irks me is that news media now thinks we need to be told everything at least twice. for example. The guys in the studio tell you, then they cut to someone else "on the scene" (or perhaps miles away across the border because they aren't allowed in the country) who tells you the same thing. And then they cut to an expert who..... tells you the same thing. They could fit 3X as much news in surely?

Same as all those programs that tell you what's coming up in that program, recap before the break, recap after the break just in case you'd fogotten in the 3 minute break and again at the end. 10 minutes of content max padded out to 30 minutes.

It happens most of the time on tv these days. TV is created by lazy, creativeless morons.

its just a parking space

what dose irk me is how people get really worked up about things that are close to home but couldent give two hoots about stuff that isnt.

I call it the selfish crusade, yeah ultimately some good may come out of it, but you know deep down that if it wasn't affecting the person in question you wouldn't see them for dust.

it's like when celebrities all of a sudden start to champion a disease just becasue they have it. where were you last year when you were all fit and healthy, snorting coke off a young lady perhaps?

[teddymeow]

Have some heart guys - H from steps died recently you know.

Is it wrong to lolz at that?

Dont get me started on that.
Oh Kylie you are so brave!
Sod off! What about the thousands of women with far less money that go through the same problems with no fuss whatsoever. It annoys the hell out of me.

This reaaaaaally annoys me. She actually said in an interview that "when I was feeling really down my boyfriend (the one who could afford to take a break from work) would take me out around Paris on his scooter." This is not representative at all of the living hell that most sufferers have to go through.

"The People's Princess"!

But she was a victim! A VICTIM!

And Harry's resemblance to a certain royal guard is entirely a coincidence.

Recruitment agents who lovingly send you an email that starts:

"Dear FIRST_NAME"

Have you researched the limited gene pool in the upper classes?

I thought John Parry was referring to Jade Goody. Wasnt she named as the peoples princess by some gutter press paper?
