The Dogmother Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It's a stoppable offence to have foglights on when it's not foggy - we had a foggy day last winter which then lifted; the rozzers were out en force in the town centre, pulling over anyone who still had them on. I think they could have allowed a bit of leeway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Obviously not! I stood nearby and listened in as they were talking to a driver they'd pulled over (I was being nosey ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I would probably have been one of the ones forgetting to put the lights off I am sure I only manage to have my headlights on when they should be due to them being on automatic However I did once think the lights were broken as when I started the car one evening they did not come on. I phoned OH in a panic. He reminded me that the car had been for a service and to check to see if the mechanic had turned the dial off auto. Sure enough he had (this confession should probably have been in the 'embarrassing moments' thread.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Leaf blowers. They are just so noisy. What is what is wrong with a rake? I have a great story of a leaf blower/ sucker. many years ago I ask Hubby if he would sweep the car port out. So he got the blower out and because he hadn't cleaned it from the previous year it was blocked. I came home from the weekly shop to find him on the kitchen floor with the blower in several bits and leaves all over the place. To clean the floor he swept all the muck into a big pile and put the blower on reverse but what he didnt do was zip up the bag at the bag.

soapdragon Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 We went to a wedding in Sussex some time ago and decided to stay over. Went for the local Premier Inn/Sleep Inn option (can't remember whichexactly but it was a budget one as we were broke - no change there then !) and, on arrival, were given the key to out room.........................101! Maybe someone was trying to tell us something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Christmas shopping, don't get me wrong I love giving gifts, but there is so much over priced tat out there. I am glad that I am not the only person out there with tactile phobia, did not even know that it had a name. I thought that I was the only person who did not like silk. I also hate rough textures like sand paper and dried soil and the skins on peaches and pears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Here are some of mine - no particular order: those dog poos that people leave around which grow white whiskers and probably light up in the dark; any brassicas except brussel sprouts which I adore - so I get my greens once a year; anything bullying anything whether it be chooks, dogs or people; women who think they have done well in business for a woman, but who are really men; s"Ooops, word censored!"ing poo out of my dovecote; OH part of the time adding in: wind and people who want me to do things 'immediately, right now, this very moment' and as an antidote - the thinks I like best OH the other part of the time my greyhound's waggy tail when I come down in the morning my saluki's soft ears the way my little Poland screws up her eyes when it is face washing time the little baby noises my white frizzle makes shortbread biscuits fingerless gloves middle eastern food shopping with my sister giving out the mealworms watching my dogs play in the river a frosty, early morning cockerels crowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 women who think they have done well in business for a woman, but who are really men; That is an interesting one. One particular woman I know springs to mind. She has made a fortune but her grown up kids only see her as a source of money. She sent them to private school and never looked after them even at weekends. She wonders why they have major issues with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
