A tube of smarties with no orange smarties just isn't right!

Oh Oh I have one! Opening sweets to find there are only green and yellow ones in a supposedly mixed bag. I don't DO GREEN OR YELLOW!

My kids have been in bed asleep for almost 4 hours now. I'm off to bed now, but am going to have to suffer listening to them out in the street!

I have/had that, luckily one family have moved although it was a house swap with the grand parents so it still happens from time to time and one of the kids is about 8 and is racist, rude and swears all the time grr.
My friend lets her kids play out 10 and 4yr old and although they are good they do play in the road on bikes and even though they are always being watched it takes a couple of secs to get run over :/ I don't let mine play out there thats what back gardens and parks are for.

Idiots on bikes being chased down the street by at least semi-drunk idiots on foot. Suspect the one on the bike caused it (probably provoked and/or tried to nick something) as they were being fairly well-behaved up to that point.

I was in the firing line but luckily the chasing pack were effing and blinding so I heard them coming and dodged into the nearest doorway. They all went sailing by. Phew.

If that happens again, sent them to me. I love green ones. I tell the kids "Don't eat the green ones, they're not ripe"

Drivers who don't use the slip road on a motorway to raise their speed to that of the traffic they are joining.

^^^Totally!

Round here joining the only Motorway nearby is a narrowish 2 lane slip road. Most folk straddle both lanes and dawdle at about 50

When you are trying to hurry home to watch the footy, and at 7.27pm everyone else on the roads at that time, clearly isn't interested in football, and is driving veeeeeerrry sllllooooowly.

I know at least one person on here has them, but I have to say:

FitFlops

I only see two types of people wearing them:

Rather large people where it's probably the only exercise they buy into (sweeping generalisation!) - and it just ain't gonna work!

Rather fit people who probably don't need the extra help! And as these shoes are rather chunky, they are so not flattering on slender legs!
