"I know you don't like me going out on my bicycle and I know you mean well, but frankly I no longer care. Everyone else in the family recognises how safe an activity bicycling is and yet for some reason you're still convinced I'll die as soon as I'm out of the driveway. No I would not be safer cycling with other people. No, 50 miles is not "too far". Did you not hear me the 20+ times I told you I've been further than that before? Of course you have a right to be concerned, but perhaps you should actually understand what you're talking about before you voice your objections. And another thing, I don't need you to call me back every time I step out the door to tell me to "be careful", do you think I want to crash? If I cycled where you told me to I would have fallen off more than once already.
Yes I'm going out for a ride. Yes I'll "be careful", although no more careful than I would have been without you reminding me for the 557th time. Yes I know you're worried but no, I won’t stop cycling whenever I stay here just because you don't like it. What's the point of even being alive if you can't grab what little joyous time there is and seize the moment?"

BBC News:
'With 'just' 6 months to go until this 'unique' and 'iconic' event, the Athe-letes have been in training for yurs'
'Yurs and yurs and yurs!!'
Yep, pet hate for me too that. Problem is that people think that that is how actually should drink it and that you are some sort of idiot for suggesting otherwise, I mean FFS, just let it cool down a little so that it is actually at a temperature that you can drink it properly at (I can judge it just right so that it is at the maximum temperature for me to drink, so I still get the burn, but at the same time I could down it in one go if I had too), it isn't exactly rocket surgery, and I'm the one with Brain damage too!!
If you slurp your tea then I will very happily leave the room ASAP, preferably never to return or possibly for you to drop dead....
Thank you gbb, you have just pissed me off no end! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!

That's a whole can of worms. I'm hoping it will just 'go away' over time, but I'm getting closer to letting it out each "be careful"

An acquaintance is an ardent petrol-head, formerly owner of a machine way too fast for British roads, particularly in his hands. And yes he never kept his trap shut about it. You'd think driving it over a hedge into a field one day and parking it on its roof before being given a blue light ride to horspital with his passenger would shut him up but no.. now all he goes on about is how he has been driving for years and years and years (with one or two other write-offs) and it was clearly a fault with the car or else it was mud on the road. Imagine for yourselves what I would like to say to him in response instead of walking away as I do. Still, at least he's been relegated to an old banger now thanks to inadequate insurance.

Yes dear, I know you've got a marketing degree but I've been here 6 years and seen 2 of your predecessors (also with fresh marketing degrees) suggest exactly the same thing and it failed each time. Is that "on trend" enough for you?

You knew you might, perhaps, just possibly, be eating, it being the Christmas season and all that, so why in the name of Cripes did you not bring your false teeth with you? "She cannot eat it, she has not got her teeth in, can you open her a tin of soup?", followed a little later by "I cannot eat this either, the pips get in my gums" is not what we want to hear after cooking for 3 hours! So they make your mouth hurt, do they? Perhaps thats because you never give your mouth time to get used to them, you !"£$ &*% ¬!^^|?> .quite apart from the fact that without them you have a face that could curdle milk.

So I walk to the chipshop door..a guy is stood right in the doorway, holding a toddler.
I give him a second or two, he's not really making any attempt to move..
'Scuse me, can I get through ?'
'Oh, sorry'..and he shuffles inch by inch as though his feet are glued to the floor.
So I'm in...now.. has he been served ?..he's nowhere near the queuing point, so I go to the front.
'Who's next please ?'
I move forward, 'can I have.....'...then turn to the guy blocking the door...'I assume you've been served ?'
'Err, no, I'm waiting to order'
'No problem, you go ahead'
He's stood there for several minutes AFAIK...and now he's deciding what he wants, what the toddler wants, changing his mind, etc etc....
Having ordered, he resumes his position right at the door...
Another guy gets gets his order and makes toward the door...
'Sorry, can I get past ?'
'Oh, sorry, I'm in the way'
Thankfully he got his order and left before me.
what I'd like to have said was...
You frikkin dumbass, get away from the door, get in the queue like normal people and spend a little time forward thinking what you actually want before you get there.
As it was, its something and nothing, nothing to get too upset about, but inside, your nerves are jangling...

I know exactly what you mean. Some people seem so disconnected from the rest of the world! At work we have a little kitchenette, and a short passage leads to that, and to an office next to it. At lunchtime, when we come in from the round, we all want to use the kitchen to make tea, cook our lunches in the microwave etc. It's amazing how may people think that that little passage is the perfect place to stand and chat, leading to a constant "'cuse me!" "oh, sorry!" then they move, and then move right back to where they were, in the way of the next person.
To be fair some of our volunteers have special needs, and don't get hints well, but I feel mean if I have to say ""Look, that's a bad place to stand" and anyway, they've forgotten by the next time.
