... think that their mobile phone conversation is inaudible to the people around them? On different occasions I've overheard (a) a company executive setting up a cash sale of some excess stock, to avoid VAT and (b) a teenager having a long and detailed natter with a mate about a third person's drug-taking habits.
Why do people...

...stick "going forward" on the end of a sentence in a vain attempt to give their words some importance. Do they not realise the only thing it does, is nothing?
Without wishing to belabour a point which I think you've already kinda recognised, is a cyclist still a cyclist when not on a bike? Is a pilot still considered such without a joystick in their hands, or is someone a soldier even when not actually fighting?It's like saying you're a cyclist but never actually going out on your bike.
Actually, I've just spotted the problem with my argument
It's about religion so I completely understand there are opinions and I also agree that there may be some who could be considered hypocrites because they go at Christmas without giving it any thought for the rest of the year. However, I don't think attending church is a prerequisite for being a Christian but that's just my opinion.

I'm 61 and retired so feel I'm just about qualified to say this without being charged with ageism.
Why do people who are retired go shopping on a Saturday when everyone who works is filling up the shops anyway?
and... Not age related
Why do people think standing in a group blocking an isle of the supermarket and talking is acceptable?

Could you be more specific?
I would, but apparently this is a 'Family' forum.

Totally agree.It's not about running away, but rather not worth spoiling your day or mood for things that are not really important.. Most times, I have better things to do than arguing, especially since hardly ever there's any result in the end.. only bitterness and often hurt.
No point really!

Don't annoy me then! I couldn't care less if it spoils your day, if you annoy me then it'll be you own stupid fault so, yes, don't run away until you have explained yourself, nobody is so special they are above it
