Do you find.

[Libra Gran]

Does anyone else find they are becoming less tolerant over things as they get older?? For instance this mornings traffic was horrendous took me 1/2 hr just to get from my home to the top of Alder Road, sat there grumbling to myself. Then later went to the chippy as we had decided to have a no cook day, there was a woman in her car who had taken the space for 2 cars, I asked her if she would move up a bit to allow me in and added a please. No she said because she didn't like the way I asked, I'd said please, as she pulled away she called me a cow lol. Couldn't help it I said and you too love. Little thing's annoy me that never used to, I like an agenda and am not good when things go wrong, see no tolerance. Hubby hit the nail on the head I think he said I find the world a difficult place to deal with sometimes. Grumpy old bag maybe what he means.

Yes I have found that too Libra, I will not tolerate bad service as I used to let it go.

[Elisi]

Yes me too LG, sadly. People don't seem to be as tolerant and smiley as they used to be.

[Shemadee]

There do seem to be a few people around who think that life is all about them and they don't see why they should try and be helpful - sure this will backfire on them with a vengeance before too long! I think my OH has been auditioning for the Grumpy Old Men series - some days I have a running commentary on all that is wrong with the world!!

My hubby as much as I love him could be the understudy for Victor Meldrew or Rigsby from Rising Damp he can moan for England and is not at all tolerant of others even though he has his own bad points,he loathes people taking up too big a parking space and his most common resort is "are they driving a ------ bus" ? he keeps threatening to buy an old battered Landrover and park so close they couldn't get out with out a can opener.I will not tolerate bad manners and insist on a please & thank you in shops or I do tend to let my feeling known pretty strongly.

OMG Libra I was just talking to my sister about this today , our Brother I swear has become Victor Meldrew , over the last few weeks he has become impossible , he has always been a tolerant man but since the Brexit god he could grumble for Olympic gold .Bad manners I can't put up with now the worse one is when I'm talking to my DS and he's looking at his phone constantly , I actually took it off him a few weeks ago and wouldn't give it back till he went home , so rude in my opinion

[Qwerty]

Today I drove to my friends who is ill as you know it's a 9 mile drive and it's the first time I have driven my car on my own so don't know If it's me , but drivers seem to be travelling up my backside I wasn't going slow but driving in the speed limit of it said 30 I did 30 and so on. When nearly home a chap in a 4 wheel drive drove up to my bumper on a road that has sleeping policeman my car is very low and I have to go steady over them as it really jolts the car, I don't know what speed he wanted me to do but we have a 4 wheel drive and you hardly feel the bumps but you do in a small car, eventually I travelled on a road that had a 30 mile zone he shot round me at 40 miles an hour just before a zebra crossing, really put me off as if I was in the wrong people have. no patience these days no toleration not meaning you Libra but impatient to be in front of everybody I am afraid I used a rude word I wonder if I am getting old !!

[Nanto2girls]

I certainly won't tolerate bad manners. You should have heard hubby grumbling today, because they haven't emptied the green wheelie bin, it should have been done on Wednesday. I don't mind him having a grumble, but once he starts,he doesn't know when to stop.

I think we all have things that we find hard to tolerate. On Tuesday, driving over to DS2's to look after the girls, I got cut up by a stupid cyclist, who I could easily have killed if I hadn't checked my nearside mirror as I reversed out of our drive. Then I rounded the corner to find a jogger in the middle of the road (note the word Corner - I couldn't see him until I was just a couple of feet away). Then as I got into the village some clown in a huge posh car shot out of a road on my left (unarguably my right of way) - I blasted my horn at him, and had to swerve really hard to avoid him. Then a couple of miles on at a pinch point, clearly indicated with my right of way a white van barged through the narrow gap forcing my onto the grass verge and nearly in a ditch. Any one of them, and I'd have shrugged my shoulders and just called them an idiot, but after 4 incidents in less than 2 miles I was seething.

But generally what makes me grumpy is tiresome bureaucracy. It seems anytime you have to deal with 'them', whoever they are, nothing is straightforward. And if you have to speak to them on the phone nine times out of ten you need an interpreter. Grrrrrr ...

How about this then, today I was just about to leave the supermarket car park (had to forgo butchers trip as cycle road race and lots of roads closed). I saw a couple of about late sixties get out of a car which they had pulled into a parent/child parking space. They both opened the back doors, then the man opened the boot and pulled out two child booster seats which they put on the back seats and walked off into the supermarket! I have a boost seat in the back of my car permanently and when the children were little I had a proper child seat but I would never park in one of those spaces if the children were not with me. They clearly do it often but what is strange is that there were spaces closer to the store that were not designated spaces!

[Oma]

No ZIZI but like disabled spaces they are wider so their doors won't get bumped , as I said before the same people if they have a Blue badge would cause holy he'll if a parent parked in a Disabled bay ,
On Thursday we went to our local Asda and there is about 20 disabled bays by the door , first thing you find lots of people park in them to go to the cash machine or pop in Asda for Sandwiches , because it's early they think it's ok , well on Thursday the car park warden went around ticketing them all and putting huge stickers on their windows saying , THESE BAY ARE FOR DISABLED NOT FOR THE LAZY 😁😀

Coming back to the Grumpy Mr Glamma, just today when we arrived back home after collecting me from work we drove down our Road expecting to turn into our designated parking space where we live to find someone parked there,well you can imagine the steam from his ears !! not a pretty sight when he is riled so we had to drive to the back of our development and come in the back way down The Vale (no big deal really) but what made it worse was the chap who had parked was visiting one of our new neighbours who hasn't quite understood what designated parking means and this visitor was only driving a Bentley wasn't he and that is Mr Glamma's most sort after possessions not that he'll ever get one,but how to add insult to injury ? you couldn't make it up could you ?

[Oma]

Aww poor Mr Glamma I bet he felt like crying hahaha

[Daisy]

Glamm - that was adding insult to injury. I hope your new neighbour gets the hang of 'designated parking' and tell their visitors as well!

[Glammanana]

Well he moaned for ages and kept looking out of the window to see if the chap had moved off what is it with men and parking spaces they are so territorial about them aren't they I just happened to mention that at least it was a posh & smart car and all I got was "but its an L reg and worth less than your little Audi glamma" so thats me told then, it does look the part ladies I'd like to drive up to Morrisons and pile in my shopping
