    I despise when someone asks you a question, lets you start answering, then proceeds to talk over you. It takes all my strength not to kick them in the face. GRRR!:mad:

    The majority of us that don't wait for the wee green man, and think "I an't got time for dat!" I can always spot a local whether in auckland, syd, ny, ldn - then again it's an easy ice-breaker "so what county...." as we do the J walk. // A genetic disposition towards general rebellion perhaps? No real bad ting'.

    It's probably because we're adults and can decide if there's enough space to cross the road. Why would I wait for a green light if there are no cars coming?

    My boyfriend cooked for the 2nd time last week, he set the kitchen on fire.
    He gets his clothes washed in a laundrette.
    His mam buys all his clothes.
    I met him last week, 8 hours after eating lasagne he still had it all over his face.

    He's 31 :(

    Months or years?

    :eek: Rude!! Who pissed in your cheerios? I'm assuming it's because it's a discussion forum....to discuss opinions on things.

    No I didn't mean to be rude, I was just curious - I hadn't seen a point by point agree / disagree reply before. Nor was I planning on having a discussion - I figured the thread was "Trivial things that annoy *you*", as in *me*.

    I don't really want to get into an argument about men in pink shirts, or formula one, or "changing women's minds" and all that. When the fact is its people who have those very attitudes that... annoy me.

    Right?

    I know. He's useless and that's what I love about him :)

    We've often woken up and gone out to the car only to find its not there. 'Oh yeah I left it at the pub last night, you'll have to walk home'

    His first day of work he woke up and realised he had no work trousers and was late because he had to go buy some.

    I'd be here all day if this was a 'how useless is your boyfriend' thread :o

    When you rely on your iphone alarm to wake you up in the morning an it doesn't go off , sometimes it does this is so annoying even when I check that it is set or set a new time.

    You are mixing up 'useless' and 'utterly stupid'.

    Mothers and fathers with a child who don't work and get a free house and tons of benefits while I'm working my hole off and renting. Doesn't make sense to me. They get to live in their locality while I have a three hour drive away from family and friends. Does my head in

    No wonder sperm banks are thriving in the UK

    I would be the last person to defend a sponger, but the house is not free...at best its a subsidised rent. But are suggesting the scenario is different because "the daddy" is in the house?

    I've met some parents who are great in this regard too. They'll actually come up to me and say, "he loves dogs, would it be ok for him to pet her?" and at least that way the whole situation is controlled and I can instruct the dog to remain calm while the child approaches and pets her. It's not the kids' fault - I was guilty of the very same thing even as a toddler, if I saw a dog I was over to it like a light! :D And it is lovely to see kids that are into animals, but its not fair on kid or dog to allow that kind of behavior.

    It's a very easy way to be - I just remind the kids that some dogs might get scared by children and snap but some are fine so wait and I will ask the owner. From a child safety point of view i just don't get the idea of letting the children dictate the situation. Not just for safety re the dogs, but also from a stranger danger position.

    So its not free....

    Well to be honest, I don't know what it costs...is it the same for all on dole, or different rates in different areas, means tested or whatever?

    Don't get me wrong, I do think the whole system needs to be addressed
