This column has been set up for our MH readers and ourselves, to list the things that make our blood boil, be it a detested song/singer, critical in-laws, out-of-touch and aloof politicians, a snidey co-worker, pen-pushing officialdom, snobbery, bullying, queue-jumping, even to opening a packet of newly purchased biscuits to reveal a broken, crumbly mess.
The things that make us blow a fuse
I’ll start the ball rolling with just a fraction of the things that really make me want to rip off the wallpaper . . .
The use of the word “of” instead of “have” (and don’t get me started on Ghosting, Woke, Karen, etc.)
“Newspapers” that feed us repetitive, boring stories about Harry and Meghan, or that of other “Celebs.”
Breaking an egg in the frying pan.
People in restaurants who talk loudly on their mobile phones.
Hearing, on the Television, or Radio, a bunch of narcistics singing the dirge “We are the World” for whatever fucking reason it is this time round.
People that revert to bad language to get their point across.
Women at the check-out till, who will wait for the cashier to total up their purchases, before then fumbling around in their handbag for their purse.
Reaching for the toilet roll, only to discover that there’s nothing left.
Getting a phone call from a double-glazing salesman.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
That’s a few of mine. Let’s hear some of yours.
