Nerves

I have been painstakingly looking for a holiday this week.  The bad weather is getting me down and it is imperative that I have sunshine in my life, therefore I need something to look forward to.

This is where I find EVERYTHING gets on my nerves.   This  year there are ten people in our party.  I appreciate that is quite a lot of people.  However, First Choice and Thomas Cook allow you to book for up to nine people and then if you have ten ,they go into meltdown, can't cope, won't cope mode and you have to phone them on a premium rate telephone number that costs three thousand pounds a minute.....really?   I don't want to phone them I just want to book free,  online.

 So, I have been browsing the cheaper holiday websites. 

Found a dirt cheap, brilliant, bargain of the century, shithole hotel deal.    Had a chat with everyone involved, got the thumbs up and went online to book.  I then browsed over the very much smaller print and realised that the flight price doesn't  include luggage...

Luggage....who the sodding hell goes on holiday without taking luggage?  That's an essential part of any holiday.  I mean, you need bikinis, flip flops, suncream, right?  So, I went back and added luggage and that was an extra 600 quid.  600 buggering quid!

 I will never understand this "stripping back the essentials to make things cheaper" policy.  It doesn't make any sense and if you then have to add these essentials back on to your holiday then you end up paying for them anyway.   Its utter madness.

 I 'spose if you are popping over to see family in Spain or something then you may not need to take luggage of sorts, but a family holiday with five children and you are going to cut costs by going with just the clothes on your back?   I just don't get it. 

How much more can they strip back on these flights?  You have to have a whip round whilst on the runway and all chip in a fiver for fuel...   or perhaps pay less if you are prepared to stand in the aisle for the entire flight.  I already don't pay extra for in flight meals because I refuse to pay 3 billions pounds for a tiny portion of Beef Stroganoff...  Shit the bed, what else can they strip back?

As I get older more and more shit gets on my nerves...

Cough medicine is a biggie.  Its shit.  Totally.  Has little or no effect on any sort of cough.  At all, EVER.   You are coughing your inner sanctum to the forefront and you glug down the "CORVONIA" and still continue to cough up your inner workings.   It makes me mad.  Why are they allowed to sell such shite that obviously never works?  I just don't get it.

Soaps on the telly.  The major award winners at any telly awards ceremony.  Who writes this shit?  Gangs and gangsters, death and murder, plane crashes and tram crashes.  Shit, if you moved any where near this death and destruction you would run, with your kids, crying to the hills.  Its absurd and unnecessary.   I find it's on in the background of my mad house whilst I pick the fluff from my belly button.  They are the most watched programmes in England.   That makes me laugh.

People who don't indicate at mini roundabouts.  Just do it.  Traffic would flow quicker and I would not feel the need to stove your effing head in with a shovel just because you didn't make the pretty orange light at the side of your motor flash.  Please, just indicate.

Taxi drivers and buses..  Think they own the road, don't  need to indicate and pull out when you are already facing on coming traffic because you have attempted to overtake them as they have been sitting there for near on half a week.   They get on my nerves.

Swearing.  I can swear like a trooper but always appreciate there is a time and a place.  I won't have my older children swear anywhere, ever in my presence and I don't like to hear it in general and I loathe it on the internet.  Its not "cool" and "hip" it tiresome and, in my opinion,  lacks intelligence.   But having said that I love the word SHIT so now hypocrisy is getting on my nerves....

People who do not say THANK YOU.  Its appalling.  Its quite shocking the amount of people who forget these words, even in the worse circumstances there is always a place for two words THANK YOU.    Bad manners are a massive turn off in my opinion.  If someone holds a door open say "thank you"   I think that there is no place in society for rudeness and bad manners.  It gets on my nerves.

I am not sure I can tolerate getting older because I am going to slowly go insane with everything that gets on my nerves.

Everything that gets on my nerves is starting to get on my nerves....
