Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Badly behaved weans in shops.

I was in a supermarket the other day buying a bottle of wine. This maw
was there doing the same and had her 4ish years son and a toddler (in a
buggy) with her. The 4 year old was running his hand down the row of
bottles and enjoying the clinking noise as the bottles knocked
together. The conversation went like this:

Maw: Don't do that
Son: Ignores her
Maw: Please stop doing that - we have to leave soon.
Son: Ignores her
Maw: Please stop it. You may break a bottle.
Son: Ignores her
Me: You have been told 3 times to stop it. Now just listen to your mother.
Son: Starts to greet.
Maw: Turns beetroot, grabs son by the hand and bustles off in the opposite direction.

When is it right to give another person's weans a telling?

i'd have said to her that you would point out she hadn't stopped the wee c**t when she noticed and is due the shop money

canny stand when folk don't control their bairns to avoid tantrums

F**king Ryanair.

I need to take a flight and take my son (12 months old) with me. They want £30 to take him, but he has to sit on my lap, for a flight that will cost *me* £25 for a seat.

...and they won't let you just buy an extra adult ticket for an infant. So you pay more than an adult flight costs, *have* to put them on your lap, and don't even get any baggage allowance for them.

FFS. :blink:

This is fucking infuriating. When we were taking regular flights between London/Prestwick/Edinburgh and Stockholm with Ryanair and Easyjet I'd just lie about whichever wean was under 2 at the time and put him/her down as 11 or 12 (rather than 1 or 2) when I booked online. If they quibbled I'd claim I made a genuine typo and pointed to my receipt as evidence of payment.

Obviously we still had to use the extended lap belt at take off and landing but we got a proper seat in-flight and I felt I got one over 'the system'!

<br /><br />Don't get me started, I nearly tripper over a wean in morrisons the other day, he was pushing Himself up and down the aisles on a wee skateboard. And where was the mother? Yep, Gabbing to another woman, totally unaware that her brat was whizzing around

Driving home on 79th street having to cope with all the badly driven mum-mobiles (20 mph and miles back from the traffic just so they can catch every fucking red light) and the knob-goblins that need to jum across 2 or 3 lanes at the last minute to make their turn!
