Enjoy the escalation of hostilities.
And you're ranting at that?

Letting the grass grow so long I actually want to cut it, then it rains for 4 days solid.
[QUOTE 3719533, member: 9609"]good for you.
a while back I watched a perfectly fit woman park in the disabled bays at sainsburys and run into the store - I reported it to the info desk and a minute later they were asking over the pa system for the owner of the vehicle to come to reception, 5 minutes later she was moving it to another place.[/QUOTE]
On a similar theme to this.
A few years ago I was stood at the entrance to Tesco when a woman parked in a disabled space and made her way to the door.
Next to me stood her mate who shouted out, "I didn't know you were disabled?"
Prompting her to drag her leg along behind her until they got together and had a good giggle about it.
As they were stood next to me I couldn't stop myself from saying, "my sister's got cerebral palsy, I bet she'd piss her sides if she saw you two now."
I waited a few seconds but got no reply, so went on my way and left them to it.

On the subject of petrol stations, people (or more specifically, the one who did it earlier today) who wait in the queue while the other half is filling up, then get to the front and hold everyone up by saying, "oh he'll not be long now."
Don't be surprised when someone steps from behind you and says, "number four please."

Living where I do, in a province that mangles both French and English, I get this a lot - the shop person doesn't understand what I am saying but has a guess instead. "How much is this please?" me "amachisis?" them. So I try in French "Combien etc?" "Coombee?" then I try again with an American accent and from there it is either a comedy show, a homicide or I walk away - so far I have escaped a prison sentence.

Ah, some history there. Garages, as in places that fix cars, once had petrol pumps. Very few now do, so usage has changed.
Garage as in Farage a simple mistake

If you disparage Nigel Farage he'll get you behind the garage

The hinges on CD 'jewel cases'. They break. It's a spectacularly stupid design.
If anyone follows the work of Mark Thomas they will know that there are two definitions of the word Farage.
- Farage: pronounced with a hard 'g' - The puddle of brown water found at the bottom of wheely bins.
- Farage: pronounced with a soft 'g' - An angry, confused w**k.
