Open Rant Thread

[CurryKitten]

People who actually speak in text-speak... this mainly seems to be an affliction of the young.  I see 10 and 11 year olds regularly say "lol" to each other, without actually laughing.  I've explained many times what lol means, and if you were lol'ing then you would need to say it, but I'm ignored

Why cannot people see how they are spoiling the look of our environment by chucking rubbish & packaging on the ground??

Handkerchiefs

I was brought up to always carry one. I need it to clean my glasses; wipe a dipstick on and even blow my nose when I get a cold.
Watching other people wiping their noses on their sleeves or listening to them every few seconds doing an inward snort up their nose - disgusting!

Do you know - this Thread is doing me a power of good to 'let it all out'.

Think I will cancel my next psychiatrist's appointment!!

People who send solicitors letters to electric-only flying clubs complaining about noise, property devaluation, loss of privacy etc when there has been no flying at the site for over two months due to weather.

Hair cleaning products

Why is it that every make of these products always uses the smallest font possible for the most important wording?

Shampoo and Conditioner are written so small that most of the time you don't realise what you are buying or, at home, what you are pouring over your head!

Yeah It was Dog shampoo  that caught me out  :laugh:

When in a 'fast food' emporium or any shop when the yoof in front says, "Can I get a big Mac meal (please)", if you're lucky. It's can I have.
You can't get it, we have to give it to you.
Can I also repost this in the grumpy gits thread.  :D

I think the case is proven for a dedicated "Old Gits section"  :D

Handkerchiefs are properly disgusting, carry a pack of tissues if you regularly need to wipe yourself.

Is this the open rant thread or the Old Gits thread we were on about ?  :)

Especially if you use the same one for wiping your glasses, your nose and your car dipstick ... :laugh:

When I were a lad we used our sleeves.

This one annoys me too, but I know the answer....

Of course people can see what they are doing, but it is simply down to one thing.... selfishness..... they don't _care_ what they are doing because they are selfish and want to do what _they_ want regardless of the impact on others, why, because it's easier / better for them!

[Loopdreams]

Those people who actually go to the trouble of bagging their dogshit but then leave the bag hanging on a fence, or just on the floor.  The mind boggles.
