Grumpy old buggers thread

[V8Ian]

Had a **** of a day, last thing the lecky turned up to replace a fridge door smashed in a break in.
Foster daughter,12, asked what they were doing.
I said "There here to chop up little girls & eat them!"
Daughter went flying out the door.

Later daughter asked why I say that sort of thing?
I said because I'm a Grumpy Old Man.
She said "I know that, but you are scary as well."
Pretty happy with that.

PS Love her dearly but can't help stirring her up.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Ok. Now I'm initiated: what makes me grumpy is Speed humps. I hate speed humps. They're an insult to Steam Rollers. Drivers who refuse to let other drivers change lanes, drivers who change lanes just because the other lane is moving halfa K faster, drivers who won't let other drivers merge at the end of a lane, drivers who don't know the rules for Roundabouts, drivers who take 3 second to get moving when a light goes green and people who shove stuff in the fridge so it all falls out when you open it. any wonder I had to buy my own fridge.

Only 3 secs ? Unless you ae behind my B in L, he seems to wait until the lights change before he starts the engine(?) scratches his arse, cleans his sunglasses & the driver's side mirror, argues like buggery with his spouse because she keeps telling him to hurry up as all those other ****ers want to get home as well. If he had ashtrays he'd want to get out & empty those & then if he can't think of any other duties he may or may not drive off. He'll get done one day. Or thumped.

My current Grumpiness is being caused by Birds!
Lorikeets to be exact! Noisy bloody things. We have a huge Bloodwood tree which overhangs my bedroom, this tree is presently in flower.
The Lorikeets start up ay 5am every morning. Whistling, chirping & dropping half a tree on my bedroom roof. So my normal 6:15 rising has become 5:05am!
And, just to top it off I park my D2 under shade sails near this tree so my beloved (sometimes beloved) D2 is covered in flowers, sticks & ****!
Pretty things, Lorikeets - Pretty bloody annoying!

He is Isn't he. Maybe it is within your Magical & Holy Powers to grant him the title of "The Grump of all Grumpiness" or sumfin akin?

Its good to let it all out Ian. UNLESS your repeating the same waffle again and again and.................. ad nauseam

Just 4 bookings to fill my 10 Covid dose for Thursday took two hours. I was going to start on the 15 needed for Friday but felt walking home was a good idea for my mental health. As I did so the Covid vax delivery arrived. It was due Friday. Text saying delivery was coming and be ready was 9.21pm last Thursday night? They can only be accepted by one nominated person. I was ready Thursday night after the text had me scrambling to work. A phone call while waiting Thursday night at 10pm allowed me to come home till Friday scheduled delivery. I waited all day Friday. Waited today and missed by that much They refused to allow my staff to sign and demanded a very confused doctor be dragged out to sign.

Got to love schedules and bureaucracy when they set then change the times with out letting me know. Letter being left at front desk authorizing staff to accept deliveries or stating they can take it back and deliver it again at a new agreed date and time. I guess that is grumpy yet seems reasonable to this black duck

Well 8/10 as it is sort of grumpy & you did try hard but I reckon JDNSW had more to be Grumpy about though, a Year without his phone is quite untenable although it appears he has made a new bestest friend in the Exchange so it could be a valuable lasting friendship. I don't actually know whether they got to first names but I hope so. It could be very handy down the track so to speak.The track being something like 9 km apparently.

My white Cockies trumps your Lorikeets. There is a Granny Smith apple tree between me and my neighbor. Most of it hangs over his house - galv iron roof. A heap of these Sulphur Crested vandals invade it at first light. They pick a half grown apple, open it to take the seeds and then drop it onto the roof ....bang bang bang.........and proceed to the next apple with much screeching at max voice output.
