Stupid little things that bug you

I like it when the “morning” people say “morning” to each other in passing when there aren’t many people around.

There are obviously too many people out during the day to say hello to, you’d be saying hello to someone every three strides (although when out on country walks, people will say hello to each other in passing).

But I don’t like it that the “evening” people don’t say “evening” to each other in passing when there aren’t many people around. They don’t say “evening” to anywhere near the degree that the “morning” people say “morning”, to the point where very few people actually say “evening” to each other.

I say “morning” and “evening” but mostly only get “morning”s back.

Ha. The wife went for a walk yesterday. Got down the end of the rd. and ran into some bloke. She nodded and smiled at him and he looked at her all weird. She said, how are ya? and he says, "I don't care".

So she keeps going. A few minutes later she's about to pass another bloke, walking with a coffee and a clipboard and she's says, "afternoon". He tells her to fuck off and don't you fucking talk to me woman.

I wish she would have taken her phone with her. By the time she got back he was nowhere to be seen.
I spent the rest of the day waiting for him to knock on the door trying to sell me some shit.

My first job was in a hospital and everyone you passed would say morning! It's something that has stuck with me, if it's early I greet everyone.

I especially love saying it to the miserable looking gits with their heads down who obviously don't want to be mythered.

Being happy (or pretending to be happy) around miserable sods is one of life's little joys.

Wow, that's blown my generalisation of all Canadians being nice.

Going into a busy coffee shop and finding tossers working on laptops with a long empty coffee cup in front of them taking up a table for four.

Hang on. All Canadians are nice, polite and helpful.

They only get aggressive when they meet Barcons wife.

When they see @Barcon they go full Putin.

It's the only time I have heard of aggressive Canadians, maybe you are onto something. Knowing neither @Barcon nor his fair lady I will have to reserve judgement.

No we won't, this is bluemoon.
If its a choice between a Canadian and an interloper who brings down the price of your house, I'm with the Canadian.*


*as long as he's not French.
