Wednesday was not good for me, but there again I guess it's typical of the kind of days I have.
1. usual shenanigans involved in getting a 6yr old into a classroom by 8:55am escalated to levels normally associated with international crisis talks
2. dingbat driver didn't give way at the traffic control outside the school, and so he had to drive up onto the pavement to get round me 
3. dingbat driver no.2 had followed dingbat no.1 and so he also had absolutely nowhere to go as I was at the give-way by then: I wound my window down and asked "Where exactly would you like me to go, given that you should have given way to me?" at which point he stumbled for a comeback, failed to think of one and resorted to "Oh piss off" and then "You have an issue, bitch" as he also drove up on to the pavement at breakneck speed![]()
Which was odd, because that's precisely what I was thinking. I DO have an issue with selfish drivers who have no regard for the safety of the children (who are all over the pavements at that time), no regard for the highway code and use the road as a ratrun because they are late for work.
So, duly vindicated, I drove home.![]()
4. drove to a work site near home as I needed to use their LAN pcs for a particular job - none of them worked properly & after 2 hrs I gave up and ended up driving twice the distance to the next site to use theirs
5. ...thus missing out on the opportunity to get a decent meal in the site restaurant (having no kitchen at home due to MFI messing it up 2 months ago)
6. no parking space near that site meant a long walk in then I realised I'd left my drinks bag in the car
7. got a tuna sandwich from Sainsbury which had a bad effect on me later that evening
8. only after I'd finished the work & gone home did someone raise another item for inclusion
9. no word from sink supplier who was supposed to ring yesterday for me to collect it (another part of the ongoing MFI saga)
10. another lousy £14 spent getting a hot meal in the local 'pub' (if you can call these eating places pubs) due to not having a functioning kitchen (see #5) ![]()
11. followed by refusals by afore-mentioned son to go to bed
