Gripe of the day - What is yours? - Page 84 - SV650.org

I'm on the bus wearing a silky dress with a silk petticoat and the driver thinks she's Lewis Hamilton. Every time she slams on the brakes I slide across the seat like slug coated in KY jelly nearly ending up on the floor with my dress up round my thighs. So I've now had to brace myself against the seat in front with my knees.

This woman needs some bus driver training!

There were more words there but they seemed irrelevant...

People who sit behind you on the bus and keep pushing into the back of your seat with thier knees

Luckily I was in the back row so the people in front didn't see, and most of them were too preoccupied assuming the airline brace position as well!

Not on the train today then?

Siblings who are intent on bleeding your parent dry.

Siblings who say that working is a "mugs game" and expect everything handed to them on a plate.

Of course saying "how is that working out for you, not having your own home, living in your sisters spare room, and being unable to take your children on holiday or buy them christmas presents?" doesn't go down that well. Some people want everything, and not to have to earn it.

I want that. Who doesn't?

Difference is I don't expect it.

Children who come home, don't treat the place like a hotel. Hotel guests pay their bill. Stomp around the place like bloody teenagers.

I didn't mind her coming home at weekends, that way she can take me and the lads to football with her. But monday to friday as well when there are no mid week games.

Still she mentioned mortgages last night and the old guys house down the road that is now empty. No No No, 4 doors away with a do upper. We will never be rid. And I will never get any peace.

Look at it like when you are too old to get about .. They can pop round and put you on your commode .. .. ..
