Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
I fully understand why this virus is spreading so easily. My ex has tested positive, but is carrying on as if she’s negative because her symptoms are so mild. No self quarantining in her house from other family members, no mask wearing with them.
My Ex: “I just feel like I have a cold, no big deal.”
My Daughter: “No Mom, you have Covid...hard stop!”
Ugh, you can’t fix stupid.

I hate people who insist on backing into parking spaces in crowded parking lots. Just f**k right off!

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
And why is it that the people that insist on doing this can't back up for sh*t. They take like 20 tries to get it in straight.
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
The height of the door handles in my house is exactly the same as a watch at my normal standing/walking height.
Have lost count of the number of times I have bumped a watch on them.. I should have learned my lesson by now but it always gets me when I'm preoccupied with something else..

SALES (not watch related) why is it that if I ever want to buy something it’s NEVER included in their sales

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
I really hate the mentality of the people around here
No idea of social distancing and carrying on as if nothing is wrong.
Letting their kids run riot and then, when challenged, having the audacity to give you a bl**dy mouthful - I came very close to to punching someone's lights out! (...which wouldn't have done any good and got me into trouble anyway).

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
Unnecessarily aggressive responses to benign posts, which result in members getting blocked.

Now we're all in tier 847 and all shops are shut, why is it all trainers for sale on websites are only out of stock in your size. Unless you have hoof or ski feet, you're knackered
Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
Hrumph. I can't believe we can't comment on curmudgeonly posts. What a paradox.

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
Just logged out of a 2.5 hour meeting dealing with a dumpster fire of a mess left by a teacher who is now out on disability. The meeting has revealed how utterly incompetent she is, and how her tragic medical condition has further intensified the dumpster fire, and how negligent administration has been with dealing with this teacher, over the long term in not providing meaningful support to address her many shortcomings and in the short term in utterly failing to provide meaningful support and oversight, given her medical condition.
The big losers here are her students and the poor guy walking into this mess.
And I feel for the teacher who, even thought she’s a terribly teacher, has been treated horribly in this whole situation.
