Give me some dialogue from your day

[ColinJ]

I thought I was grumpy but today put my mumbling grumpiness into perspective. Wife and husband shopping in Morrisons. He's obviously a bit deaf and I can see his hearing aids but his impatience and grumpiness was breathtaking.

Him: WHAT ABOUT THIS YOGHURT, IT'S A GOOD PRICE BETTER THAN THAT STUFF YOU NORMALLY GET?
wife: you're shouting a bit
Him: WOT?
wife: you're shouting a bit, Shouting a bit!
Him: Harrumph!
Wife: What did you buy already, you went shopping?
Him: I'M NOT GOING TO THROUGH IT CHAPTER AND VERSE NOW AM I, I'LL TELL YOU LATER

later at the checkout, he was some distance away..

Him: WHAT ABOUT THIS, I'VE GOT THE CODE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL ME THIS CODE IS NO GOOD ARE YOU, BLOODY USELESS, I CUT IT OUT, IS IT GOOD?

He had forgotten to turn the hearing aid on, or the battery was flat!

He had forgotten to turn the hearing aid on, or the battery was flat!

Maybe, I don't think he cared, he seemed to be able to hear when it suited him.

 

[ColinJ]

Mmm, my dad got like that in his last 10 years!

I do have grumpy spells, but I hope to avoid a decade of them, and not by dying before the 10 years is up!

Doing an all day IPAF course today on powered access equipment, scissor and boom lifts. Part of it was a pre theory test set of 30 questions. 24 had to be right.
I completed mine, examiner glanced at my answers and said.
'You don't see that very often '
My answer...
'Well they're either all correct ....or all wrong '

I passed

Well done, but if I was in charge of training people for safety-critical operations I would want them all to get it right every time, not 80% of the time!

"Your risk assessment for this geophys survey - did it include being attacked by pigs?"

"What pigs?"

"Well, here they come."

Thats what I love / hate about risk assessments, you do them based on best knowledge at the time...but someone can always pick holes in them or circumstances change in an instant.

At our 14 yo granddaughters school creativity evening where various acts and bands (our gd is in the school band, pays bass, sings and has recently taken up drums as well ...is there nothing she can't do ? ) I watched as the evening unfolded, she did three sets at various times, spent most of the rest of her time in excited huddles with friends, talking with teachers, playimg drums to support another band, generally far too busy to spend much time with us .
I turned to my son and DIL and said....
'Its fantastic to see her so happy, look at her, shes having the time of her life '
DIL replied...
'I know....shes matured sooooo much in the last 6 months'

Where on earth the brains and creativity in her has come from dumbfounded us all

Nice orthopedics doctor: You're doing the physio?
Me: Yes, absolutely. I do everything I'm told to do and more besides. I swim and cycle most days.
Her: Excellent. And you don't smoke?'
Me: No, don't smoke.
Her: Do you drink?
Me: Oh yes, I drink.
Her: Oh dear. And it was all going so well.

That's why one of the stages of risk assessment is.......Review.

Yes, but you haven't been continuously grumpy since you were 38, have you?

 

[Lullabelle]

Not continuously
