Abusing The Welfare System
Abusing the welfare system seems to be easy for many people with low or no morals, however this is still allowed to happen.
The So Called Christmas Sales
Every year on boxing day, people queue up for several hours in the hope they will grab a bargain in the Christmas sales.
Traffic Cocks
Why is it, when you are stuck in a traffic jam there is always one person who wants to demonstrate how quickly they can accelerate only to know they will go 10 feet?
The Not So Healthy Dieter
For many years now, different people and companies have been telling you the right way to keep healthy and fit for a 'small' fee. Everyone knows that the main thing that you need is WILL-POWER, and this does not cost you anything.
Violators Of The Status Update
I know you're upset with someone, but ranting on a social network and trying to gain sympathy will not solve anything.
Exploitation Of New Babies And Pregnant Women
This is not a business idea, however, by the end of this you will think it's a good idea.

The So Called Christmas Sales
Every year on boxing day, people queue up for several hours in the hope they will grab a bargain in the Christmas sales. You see this happen each year and people lose sleep on Christmas night just to be the first.
What most people don't realise is that some shops advertise that they are giving huge savings on products that are less than the RRP, however they were the same price or even cheaper before Christmas. Certain shops ( NEXT for example) will bring in items specifically for the sale and do not sell them before or after the so called reductions.
What people need to understand is that if they did not bow to this hype, the shops would be forced to offer you lower prices all year round.

Political Correctness Gone Mad
I do not understand what kind of world we live in where, as a society we are told that everyone has their own voice and freedom of speech. However, on the flip side of that, you are not able to express any opinion without first thinking if it could offend someone.
There are things that I grew up with, which now are not able to be mentioned in front of a child in case they go to school, innocently repeat the phrase and offend another child who is also innocent and does not understand;

Is It Christmas Or The End Of The World!?
Everyone needs to know that the supermarkets are only closed for one day. This does not mean that you are going to die if you don't to go shopping. We all know that over the days of Christmas you will not be eating all 10 loaves of bread or drinking the entire 15 litres of orange squash that you must so desperately buy before Christmas day.
Personally, I refuse to go to any supermarket if there is even a chance that it will be busy, just for the simply fact to avoid these types of people.
Thieving Old Women
A few short weeks ago, I was doing the weekly food shopping at my local Tesco. Amongst other things on my list, was a small Danish loaf for my wife (sounds like a good swap). I walked around the store putting items into my trolley and crossing them off my list as I go. I got to the bread aisle and managed to grab what was the last loaf of bread that my wife had asked for. As I walked the length of the aisle, I stopped part way and grabbed two loaves of bread for myself. As I did this, I saw an elderly lady put her hand on the Danish loaf in my trolley and start to take it out. I quickly put my hand on the loaf and verbally assured her that she was not
going to get MY loaf of bread;
Travelling With The Wife
On first day we went to the local town yo buy some necessities for the next few days. There were some items that we were unable to get so asked someone in the shop if there was another place nearby where we could buy the items. The helpful woman directed us to a nearby town that has a large supermarket for what we needed. We were given directions for where to go which was pretty straight forward.
1st Grumble
It has now dawned upon me that people want something for nothing. I asked my wife to post the phone on Facebook across the local buy/sell groups. I had some interest, mostly from a girl who was eager to take the phone from me for £130 (my asking price).
She said that she does not drive and asked if I could deliver it locally. Being the nice guy I am, I obliged and took the phone to the address I was sent by text message. When I got there, nobody was home so I text the number back and enquired to what was going on. It then dawned upon me that the person I was texting was in fact the girl’s partner and he was at work all day. I informed him that I will try again later that day and hopefully she will be home. A few hours later, on my way to a friend’s house, I went again and there was still no one in. At this point I was getting annoyed and sent the gentleman a text message to say I will try again later and if there is still no one in, they will have to collect it from me.
A few more hours passed and I went to the address once again and no one home again. At this point I was getting annoyed to the point that I would snap an alligators head off. So, once again I text him and said that if you want the phone, you will have to pick it up.
This was his reply:
"Sorry I'm still at work. We will have to leave it as she can't afford. Sorry for the inconvenience"
I chose not to reply because I am the bigger man and didn't want to give them an onslaught of abuse. After calming down a bit, I then replied to inform them how annoyed I was at the fact that they asked me to deliver, which I did three times, then they decided not to have it. I can't help but think what would have happened if she was at home, was she expecting me to leave the phone and take an I.O.U?
Since this, I have placed my phone on Gumtree, where people have been emailing me from Nigeria asking me to send it to them by post, "Just give me your bank account details and I will send you the money" it said. Yeah right, I'm not that stupid.
I have decided to sell my phone to a third party website Money For Your Phone who will give me £113 for it hassle free.
To be honest, I should have done this in the first place.
