Yes, my son was like that, very untidy at home, but once he got his own it’s pristine! Hardly dare eat round there in case I drop a crumb! 🤣

My friend has a 1950's built house, its pretty untidy, and isnt organised. But it looks brilliant like it. Because i have a new build the house lacks character and needs to be tidy
 
When you are waiting in a queue somewhere( I'm at a tyre fitting garage) and this couple just wont stfu. I dont want to know if the girl is on her period or how drunk she got. Its like a megaphone.

Good riddance when shes gone. Arghhhh
 
Everything that could go wrong went wrong today. I feel like nothing at all has been achieved! Also while out for lunch the approximate 10 year old at the table behind us was giggling and running around, twirling about and just generally disturbing everyone by being loud, her parents just looked on smiling. I have a 5 year old with special needs who just sat quietly and ate lunch and didn’t bother anyone and if there had been a “situation” I would not have been sat there grinding like a melon doing nothing about it!
Why is it some people never seem to care when their kids are out of control and bothering everyone? Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of sympathy for those with young or special kids who are having a “moment” that cannot be helped. The difference is though that those parents at least try to do something! Unlike the parents of this much older child who should know how to behave.

I often think this too, we have 2 kids in the family who are diagnosed a being mildly "on the spectrum" as they say for aspergers with ADHD/autism but they both look like perfect little angels when we take them out up to some kids you see!

I know exactly what you mean. I am always being asked “HOW is your child sat there behaving so well?” Same way most other people’s are! There is no magic button.
 
When you are relaxing in bed at 10pm and suddenly realize you can hear rain on the window shutters....and the clothes are out from drying all day in the not sun. You grab the phone and check the forecast thinking “maybe they can just re-dry tomorrow, nope it’s storms all tomorrow so off into the rain you go in the dark to save the washing!

5mins after you are back inside typically the rain has stopped!

When my boys were little (I'm talking 4 and 2 here) along time ago. I was often complemented on how well they behaved in a restaurant as if it was unusual. My children knew and know how to behave at the table and that my OH and I wouldn't stand for any misbehaviour. We sat down at the table for every meal and still do. So many children have TV meals these days that when they sit around a table they don't know how to behave and their parents don't seem to give a damn if they run around the restaurant screaming the place down.

Oh and guess what! Not a cloud in the sky today. So much for the storm forecasts! Going out later so won’t risk hanging it back outside just in case, because you know the moment I go out and leave the washing out that storm is going to come.

How can it be cheaper to get a new pair of sun glasses than it is to have new lenses in my old ones.... and why do they make it so expensive anyway, it's not like I asked to be this blind!

It's called a "Reglazing fee". I tried that one year and they were like it'll cost you more than new pair of glasses.
 
Same with glasses, how is it cheaper to get a pair or two new glasses cheaper than putting new lenses in your old pair? Specsavers and the rest are so green. Also why won’t most specsavers outlets put new lenses in Boots glasses! And visa versa ridiculous!

Ridiculous isn't it. The lady told me was cheaper for a new pair & it worked out half price. Luckily they still sell my sunglasses as it takes me long enough to choose glasses. It always costs me a fortune anyway as I have a high prescription & pay for thin lenses.
