If only your boss had read P&B as he'd have known that she'd have punched your lights out and left you in a crumpled heap had things actually got physical. 

While this is no doubt the case, it seems ridiculous that it's you that's throwing around this sort of accusation.

You against Dee Man at Ruel St would be the quickest double knockout in history

My wife and I go out walking regularly.  When we have a conversation anyone else would struggle to hear it.
Too often we will be walking in front of or behind other folk who feel the need to hold their conversations at a volume that anyone within 10 yards can hear.
They are usually the sort of people who talk constantly and talk about matters of no consequence.
Happens at the beach/pool on holiday too.

Falsely accuse you of assault in my experience...

I had my trailer blocked by two cars in Aberdeen a few years back so I had to contact the police who contacted their employer who told them to get them shifted. As it turned out both of them worked in the same office. The first one appears about an hour after my call and couldn't have been more apologetic - "I'm really sorry mate, I thought the trailer would be sat there all day so that's why I parked there. By the way, just be careful of the woman that owns the other car, she's a right nippy sweety". About 20 minutes later this thing comes swaggering round the corner as I'm standing there waiting - "Are you the guy that's hauled me out my work to move my car?"

- "Aye that's right, I was supposed to have left Aberdeen about an hour and a half ago but you've blocked me in".

- "Well if that's your attitude I think I'll just leave it there".

- **that escalated quicker than I expected**  "You can leave it there all you want but when you come back it'll have 4 flat tyres and be scratched to f**k".

She loses the plot and starts going mental, jumps in her car and wheelspins away. 

About 20 minutes later as I'm leaving Aberdeen my boss phones me to ask if I just assaulted that woman. 

- "Haha, very good".

- "I'm serious - did you?"

- ":huh: What? No. What are you talking about?"

Turns out she had phoned the police and accused me of punching her on the shoulder. 

Evil little vindictive witch. I'm seething just thinking about it. 

 

Hopefully this ended on her getting a very stern talking too from the law when people realised what a big pile of shite it was?

Worth mentioning it's not a good thing for her to get a reputation of lying to the police.

The only time I’ve been dropped was when I accidentally hit myself in the head with the axe last year when chopping wood. And when I hit my head on a mind your head sign in a nightclub in Dundee. And when an ex hit me with a golf club. Don’t think another actual man has dropped me though.

Mcdonalds milkshakes are undrinkable through those new paper straws. The straws end up a soggy mess.

Buy one. Buy a metal straw to take with you then instead of being a mewling little phud in this case.

Or, just don't go to an absolute hole like McDonald's.

Come 12 September you won’t need a straw.

Folk (my dad in this case) who think you should turn into a mechanic/solicitor/plumber when something happens.

For example, my boiler is playing up, the lights look like a Christmas tree at the moment, flashing like fuck, and there's no hot water.  Queue my dad giving it the 'have you checked the flu isnt blocked? Have you tried to see if the pressure needs altered?'

Funnily enough no I haven't, because I'm not a fucking CORGI registered plumber dad.  In the same way I don't start taking my fucking engine apart in the driveway when my car won't start, because I'm not a fucking mechanic.  Another example of his of when I should start using my imaginary trade.
