Ill behaved brats in coffee shops and even pubs now FFS rant.

[slowmotion]

Badly behaved adults anyone?

How would reading a sanctimonious pile of crap have prevented idiots driving into the side of me exactly?

well emergency services drivers manage it, even those in an umarked car................

If I didn't see it, I couldn't answer it, if you catch my drift. Just this once I'll force myself to give you an answer. I never said I pushed anyone over, don't misquote people to deliberately try to agitate the merde, it makes you look incredibly daft. I can go back to ignoring you now.

Until yesterday I had never come across you, and we had certainly never exchanged views on any subject. So, you were apparently ignoring someone you had never interacted with just on the off chance they were to say something you didn't like?

Now that is daft

There's probably a link to this and kids not having structured family meal times.

And using tablets, phones at the table, I daresay.

I take an equally dim view of badly behaved dogs too.

Yes!

Why can't they just get on quietly with their games of poker and/or billiards, like in the pictures?

Anyway, I'm off to Dragon's Den with my theme pub idea, "Grumps", a chain of stylish pubs and bars (but with a reassuringly non-modern ambience) catering for sour faced misanthropes wishing to sit in silence nursing a half of mild.

Every so often, staff will turn the bar TV on/or raise its volume a little too high, to allow for some muttered complaints, just to keep things lively.

Close but no cigar. They wouldn't let cyclists in dressed as power rangers, so we are no further forward.

Actually, they will, it'll give the non-cycling clientele something to mutter under their breath about.

Every so often, cyclists dressed as Power Rangers won't be allowed in though, and this will be completely unpredictable. Similarly, the car park will be full every now and then, save for some spaces with are inexplicably cordoned off. After all, "Grumps" is all about having a safe environment in which to feel slighted, out of place in the 21st century, and passive aggressive, Duncan.

You said

I prefer to stand up just as the offender approaches. If you time it right, they run into you flat out, they don't do it twice.

which is not exactly the same as pushing them over, but is sufficiently close that I think you're bang out of order telling someone they look "incredibly daft" for inferring that, and some apology is in order.

I wondered if I should challenge him on that, but he had resorted to name calling, which by the accepted laws of the internet means I won by default
