Everyday scummy behaviour


Bairnardo

Recommended Posts

Had a video conference this morning. 
One of the others was chewing gum while participating. 
Scummy behaviour IMHO. 
Spoiler

It put me off my stroke... :whistle

 

Is this just a flat out hatred of chewing gum or just because he was talking in a conference?

A lot of people (usually older folks) treat chewing gum as if it's a class A drug.

Not really- I thought she was eating her breakfast at first but she was chewing gum. It doesn't seem very professional to be chewing gum in a meeting, especially when your fizzog is up there on a monitor. 

Just remember the sage advice of the Oompah Loompahs:

Listen close, and listen hard,
The tale of Violet Beauregarde
This dreadful girl she sees no wrong
Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long
Chewing, chewing all day long.chewing,
Chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long.
She goes on chewing till at last
Her chewing muscles go so fast.
And from her face her giant chin
Sticks out just like a violin
Chewing, chewing all day long. chewing,
Chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long
For years and years she chews away
Her jaw gets stronger every day.
And with one great tremendous chew
They bite the poor girls tongue in two
And that is why we try so hard
To save miss Violet Beauregarde
Chewing, chewing all day long chewing,
Chewing all day long
Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long

On the sweary grandparents, we'd occasionally let Par Jr stay with my mad mother and even more mad husband. They would constantly yell at the dogs to "SHUT UP". Was wheeling Par Jr round Asda in the shopping trolley one day when some parent was yelling and swearing at its noisy kid without having the desired effect of shutting the kid up. As we went by, Par Jr leaned out of the trolley and bellowed "SHUT UP" at the pair of them. Both jumped out their skins and both did indeed shut up.

See that c**t in that article saying this could put people out of jobs - how many people are directly employed on shooting estates? It's surely not a huge number. As you say, f**k the lot of them.

Brings back memories of the 80's when there was talk about banning foxhunting. My boss was bleating about the potential for job losses and "Labour don't seem to care about that." In the preceding months, tens of thousands of miners had lost their jobs and good Thatcherite that he was, his attitude had been "These people need to realise, their jobs are obsolete now."

Which type of scummy behaviour does this post refer to, sweary grandparents or child in a food trolley ?

Or were you going for the double points score ?  😜

She was still at the age of sitting in the proper seat part, not in with the food like a chimp.

😁 I knew that of course. 

Besides, the staff at Waitrose would have been horrified to see Princess Par squashing the lychees and buffalo mozzarella.

 

Not sure where I went wrong with her. A Tesco meal deal is a delicacy to her. Obviously takes after her mum with some of her life choices. She did draw my avatar though.

Had a passive-aggressive encounter at the checkout in Lidl today. 

Guy behind me wasn't wearing a mask, but more importantly was right next to me. We had this staring contest, followed by me advising him that he should be two metres away. He then said he was only required to be one and a half metres (sounded like he was German, but this was Lidl in Dundee). Nevertheless, he was half a metre away at the most. 

Gave up and paid for my coronation chicken.

I've had the opposite while queuing at tills with folk standing a few places farther away from the person in front of them than they need to. Strange behaviour when the standing distance places are all marked out.

I don't get the not wearing a mask (I know some are exempt), you've got it on for around 20 minutes, it's not that big an ask.

Adults cycling on the pavement!

Was walking along Great Western Road, at quite a narrow and busy point. Guy overtook me cycling and walking his dog at the same time, while constantly saying "bring bring". No chance I was moving for him mind. In front of me there was two girls walking a dog together, he proceeds to hit the dogs leash, fall off his bike and land on there dog. I called him a c**t to his face. I am a cyclist but actually left me raging.
