I am in a bad mood.

What is wrong with people in this country?

Today I left the car park in my office, and as a drove out I saw ahead an elderly lady with a little dog on a lead. The dog was having a poo in my drive.

No problem I thought, (she will pick the cowpat up) I drove up to the dog and the lady gave me a disapproving look. I waited for the dog to finish, which gave the lady time to gesture at me, walk off and leave the poo behind. :x

I could not find her thereafter to remonstrate. Some people. :shock:

I went to the snooker club tonight full of pride as I knew the sign writer had been and my name would be on the honours board for the competition I won earlier in the year.

They couldn't even spell my name correctly. It is on the board a dozen times over the last twenty years or so. :shock: :( :roll: :x .

To cap it all, it transpires that I lost in this years summer competition (quarter final stage) to a young fellow, (who played very well to beat me) and he wasn't a member. He went on to win the tourney.

He should not have been allowed to enter let alone win.

He knew he hadn't payed his sub........and it is not as if he could not afford the £30. He is often seen playing the slots. This is really annoying.

Wait till I catch up with him.

What is wrong with people these days. There is no sense of correctness or honesty. Young, middle age and old, it makes no difference.

This country is in decline and it makes me very very sad. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Does anybody else feel the same way?

Tony.

Reminds me yrs ago of coming out to my car (in a previous house) which was parked on the road outside and it always smelled of dog pee. Then one day coming out on a Sat afternoon - spotted on elderly gentleman stopping by with his dog and it cocked it's leg over the rear tyre and let loose. I was stood perhaps 5 feet away. He looked at me like I wasn't there. I politely asked him to not allow his dog to pee on my car. His response was along the lines of the dog does what it wants.

I walked up to him, inches away and made it clear that if I ever came out and the car smelt of dog pineapple - the dog wouldn't live much longer, but would live longer than the owner!

Car never smelt of dog pineapple again!

Always be polite, but if it doesn't get the message across - use a language that never fails to get the message across. :wink:

In your case - I would have found where the silly cow lives (must be local) and would have posted the cowpat back along with a note - "You forgot your dog's dung!"

Tony.

Odd place to leave a car park? :?

Big office or small car park? :lol:


Seriously though I do know what you mean and yes, it does give one the 'ump somewhat.

I did similar with a neighbours collection of doggie doos. He slung a bucket full of (sh)it over his fence, right next to where I used to park. So I put it on a shovel and threw it back over his garden.
 
Respectfully, you guys really need to experience a parent/teacher interview with the genetic source of some of some of our greater teenage turdweevils.........just after the said excresence on Humanity has commited GBH, not-so-petty larceny, etc. Our over-zealous PC Britain (spineless MP's with an eye on re-election) has created an environment where YOU are permanently at fault.....just ask any policeman. Teachers and the average bobby really have to exercise massive restraint and aerial dog manure or getting inside someone's personal space with an offer they can't ignore is just so much wishful thinking.

Sad but true, Sam. Other countries, especially European ones, will also have their dark underbellies but they do actually teach their children to socialise, to understand other points of view and to maintain some sort of perspective and balance. Unlike here.

One might complain about Thatchers' Britain but twelve years of DuffGov, fuelled by stercoraceous wannabee TV programmes and media that promote talentless futility have well and truly destroyed our social fabric.

One can throw all the money in the world into social services but the truth of the matter is that there are some, perhaps way too many, who will always remain anti-social and beyond what passes for civlised behaviour.
 
The street outside my brothers workshop used to be scattered with the calling cards from a large black mongrel that lived opposite. The dog was about the size of a mastiff,so you can imagine the scene. After politely asking the dogs owner several times to stop putting his dog out in the street to rubbish ,or at least clean it up (my brother had by this time cleaned the street up twice ) he lost patience and filled a bucket took it across the road and flung it through their back door. the dog was never seen loose in the street again. :shock:
 
hi

Shortly after we move in this house I removed an old tatty hedge between my drive way and next door front lawn , i then replaced with trellis work panels got it all up it looked really nice, so on the saturday I was out there on hand and knees giving it final coat of sadolin when up runs this dog puffins it leg all over the last post right besides me , as i shouted at it to get off a woman walked by the owner and actually laughed at me for shouting at it, saying to me, get a life , my reply back to her if her dog Zilch-Wedlock on my property next time it come by it will get it balls blown off as i would connect the last post to mains electricity so if she wanted her dog to have a life don't bring it up this road agin. hc never seen her or dog since.
 
It is getting so come the revolution there will be not enough lamposts and cheese wire to hang them all! It's gonna be a choice..politicians or oiks :evil: (but I have a private stash for designers who have never made one of their designs and get upset when you show it can not be done :twisted: )

Oh my god are you serious, have you written to your MP, how about taking it to the high court, surely they could over rule this clear case of injustice.

People say time is a great healer, rubbish, I was given out LBW in 1975, year2 primary school, never, it would have missed near stump by 2" easily, I'll get the b**tards one day........

ROFLMAO!!

Seriously - on it's own I don't think it would have bothered Tony - but in this case it was icing on the cake - a very long, all day, Cumquats cake.
