I'm DanB and I'm a grumpy old man

D

Today, I moaned about:

- the young man in the shopping centre with his trousers around the middle of his thighs so I could see his underwear
- another young man with his hands down the front of his trousers
- two young ladies talking to each other and I couldn't understand a word they were saying due to the slang they were using
- potholes
- people walking three abreast on the pavement
- people walking too slowly
- someone nearly walking into me because they were texting and not watching where they were going
....

You get the picture. That's it - I declare I am DanB and I am a grumpy old man. And I'm not even 30 :-(

Hey Dan, I regularly get grumpy about all of those things, apart from the last one, because it's usually me doing the texting... tho I am well, well over 30.

We all have those days Dan... :-)

I think danB has choosen a wrong career. He should have been an army General where every body Salutes him even in the Gentlemen's room or may be he came back from a ship wreck ending up his younger times in an unknown pacific island where he was on his own taking charge on his own8-) Comeon danB this is real life...waky waky:-)

lol DanB I so feel your pain! I also have an issue with people stopping suddenly in front of me and turning back and smashing into me, and then looking at me as though it's my fault.... :-) Also people who walk swinging their arms all over the place so you can't pass, and finally, people wo wear shorts/short skirts/t shirts now even though while it's sunny, it's still only about 8 degrees!! Well, where I am at least! :D

I must admit though, my brother does the hands down the trousers thing....so not a good look....

DanB: I think you and Algae live in the same city and met somewhere yesterday ;-)

My husband does the hands down the trouser thing. When i lived in our student house, with him and 2 other blokes they ALL did it. Apparently its because its warm :$

I get extreme road rage. Especially at people who you are kind enough to let them out at a turning, and then they just sit there for 10 minutes looking at you :-s

Most of these annoy me as well...especially the three abreast and slow walking...most of the time it's a group and they won't walk single file or even two abreast to let people past.  Some of us have places to go.

I generally moan about people who don't thank you when you stop/move out of their way to let them past.  I've started saying "You're welcome" whenever that happens now :$
