to get the rage with noisy, gossipy, street blocking school mums?

[OtraCosaMariposa]

We've only been back a couple of days and this pair are driving me NUTS. Same all last year too.

School finishes at 3. These two women always park in the same spaces directly outside my house. After school finishes they never leave straight away. They walk back to their cars from the playground and stand outside my house for 90 fecking minutes gossiping LOUDLY and letting their assorted children scream up and down the pavement. I have had to close my window because of the racket one child was making out of sheer boredom as her mother stands in the street and talks.

I have the irrational rage about this pair. Why can't they either stay in the school playground (this is allowed) to let their children play in peace, or fuck off to one of the houses to continue their LOUD discussion about Karen's new job and how the Chinese takeaway in the high street has really gone downhill recently.

Just stand outside and listen to their conversation, better still join in, they'll soon piss off.

Just take notes for a few days of any particularly juicy gossip you overhear.

Then, when the time is right, run out in your dressing gown with a slightly wild-eyed appearance and say 'Ooooh ladies, you MUST update me, I've been dying to know about Alans rectal prolapse, has he got his operation scheduled yet? Is Jennifer still dating that loser who works in Tesco? Do you actually think it's true that Claire & Dave have joined a swingers club? Did Fred ever get planning permission for the lifesize replica of the Taj Mahal in the back garden? Has Emma tried any other form of HRT? It might be worth her trying such and such brand. I SIMPLY HAVE TO KNOW'
