Footpath walker with dog:
Me. Are you the bloke I caught out and told not to walk this way because if calving cows?
Knob. Errr, yeah.
Me. I asked you not because the cows in this field have newborn calves, one even this morning, they could get nasty with you and kill you and the dog. I’m responsible for your safety when you are here so please, please don’t do it.
Knob. Errmmmm
Me slamming the gate he was about to go through shut in front of him..... have a good walk but not that way, go and find the path.

I drive away feeling a bit sh1t about being shirty. Drive back to the yard and climb on a pile of grit to see what he’s up to.

ONLY FOOKING WALKING THROUGH THE FIELD I TOLD HIM NOT TO!!!!!!

For fcks sake what is it with these cnuts?

New phenomenon......the footpath jogger. Goes everywhere at high speed, continually looking at his stopwatch. Takes extra shortcuts every day including shortcuts through my garden. Tempted to add some extra time to his run tomorrow by shoving the balespike up his arse. Just hope it's a holiday maker, and he'll disappear after a week.
Some serious thought given to diverting the footpath next year, and some palisade fencing.:cool:
Why do we have to put up with this sh!t.

It's little things that really do my head in . I can't bear to watch that bliddy stupid advert where grown people talk like baby kids advertising jelly babies or some such .
People who use a silly voice and love language with each other in public. Heard a guy tell his girlfriend "I wubb woo" in the local last night, really put me off my beer!

The curse of the dreaded Ebay buyer who can manage to place the winning bid in the last second but can't be bothered to reply to a message not 2 minutes later asking when will they be collecting, still six hours later and no reply:mad:

someone told me there's a app that will bid for you in the last second multiple times if needed, so they might not know they've won yet. (probable still a twa;t though if they can't be arsed to bid themselves.)

@fieldfarmer It's like having a friend bid with a max amount or the auctioneer holding it, just it is done by machine. It's useful, you wont get carried away on price. You decide what it's worth to you and the lowest bid that can win will be placed for you, it won't go above your max.

I used to hate these last minute bidders as a buyer myself sometimes. I beat them at their game these days by putting in a max bid that is as high as I would be willing to go. They shoot themselves in the foot by leaving it to the last second and finding they don't get a second chance when I have put in a decent bid in the first place. Seen one bidder put in 3 separate bids in the last minute against me, each one being beaten by my bid. I just like to imagine the smugness turning to frustration and panic.

@dowcow that is what is so great, you win or lose at the price you were happy with - just no stress.
