Pet Peeves IV

[bingo70]

People who don’t think rules apply to them.

At my boys nativity today there were a couple of clear instructions, no photos and when the official photos are available on the school website don’t post them on social media.

Within minutes of it starting there were parent with their camera out taking photos and we’re now seeing pictures of the boy on social media from other parents. It doesn’t bother me his photo is on social media but It’s the principle, you were told not to so just dont!

And don’t get me started on queue jumpers and the woman who turned up late and instead of just standing at the back like everyone else decided she was to important for that so found a seat and moved it to the front so she could sit beside her pals and see better!

I’ll never understand people

I've got visions of Hermit battling with the nippy mums i spoke about in my earlier post trying to get a front row seat, camera at the read and crying tears of joy.......

Maybe not happen quite like that though.......

Me too, full camera crew and lighting. Might even be a director just to make sure the wee man gets a starring role and of course he will sort the ticket queue out no bother

"Where are they at the parent's nights and PTA? It's not fair, I was there for shared starts so I should get the best nativity seat!"


Another pet peeve - Costa/Starbucks cups that have a wee leak in them so coffee drips out.

He’ll be asking who attended last year and who regularly attends school shows before insisting that regulars get preferential seats.😀

This absolutely. Any kind of event like that involving children involves a large minority of parents standing up throughout the performance, some with phones, often with tablets (tablets FFS!!) held up completely blocking the view for anyone behind them under 6'5". And you just know they'll delete the 'footage' of Imogen or Hugo before the day is out anyway. All experiences are now commodities seemingly.

That women can't accept that men view the world differently from them, that we have a different outlook on life. Just because I didn't notice that my wife and daughters put up the Christmas tree when I was out today doesn't automatically make me an a***hole does it?

The fact that we still get held back despite there only being 1800 Celtic fans at ER, most were away by full time yesterday.

Folk that sit on the very edge of their seat at a football match. The two seats next to me obviously don’t have ST holders in them so it is different folk every week. Without fail they all seem to sit on the very edge of their seats, leaning over the wall (I’m on the front row of the upper tier) blocking my view of the entire goalmouth and a significant part of the North West quarter of the pitch. Most are happy to sit back when asked but some can be real arsey about it.

I say they all seem to sit on the edge of their seats. That’s not quite right. If they aren’t on the edge of their seats, they are standing... in the front bloody row!

When you reply to one text from your mum or dad and they believe it's open season for sending 10 or 29 texts of absolute *****.

1. All gambling ads on TV.

2. TV adverts where they have actors supposedly playing members of the public singing out of tune karaoke-style to various songs. The TV screen's going to get a boot through it if I hear brutal versions of All I Want for Christmas Is You, Let 'Em In or Can You Feel It one more time.

Folk that use the run up to xmas as an excuse to do even less work than normal. Thats not a valid reason to be even lazier than usual.

This is a big one for me. Britain has thousands of people who's lives have been ruined by gambling and these people are bombarded with bingo, casino and bookie adverts on tv when they are trying to kick the habit. Its not right.

It must be hell for someone trying to get out of this addiction. The government rakes in the taxes of the profits of the addicted.

Tbh I’m noticing that myself just now.

Not for a second would I suggest I’ve got a gambling problem, far from it however I looked at my bank statement recently and I’m quite shocked at how much I’ve been spending on it. I always convinced it myself it’s ok as I just like a wee fiver on at the weekend for a bit interest. Looking at my bank account though I’ve realised that fiver at the weekend has turned into the 2 lines on the Saturday games, the Sunday games, the champions league games (both nights) and the Europa league plus the odd hibs game.

I’ve decided to close my online accounts and i’m actually finding it easy so I’m certain I’ve not got a problem, I am noticing how many adverts there though encouraging online betting, something should be done about it imo.
