To wish the Ice-Cream man would fuck right off?

I'm on the phone this morning and the fucking ice-cream van comes blasting down the street. My hard of hearing mother shouts down the phone "WHO'S THAT SINGING IN THE BACKGROUND???" and I couldn't speak to her because she couldn't hear me over the siren thing. I had to call her back.

Then tonight, I'm watching the news and the fucking thing comes creeping down the road again, FULL BLAST, I miss the news, go to the window to see gormless fucker hanging out of the van window with his stupid white suit on and crap hat, grubby little hands all over. It pisses me right off. I think they should be banned. Or at least have their tires slashed.

And don't even get me started on the ones that park up outside school gates at 3pm.

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 18:13

bloody hell you are cross, aren't you?!

To stop this being an annoying AIBU by stealth, is there anything you wish to add?

death, disease, pms, relationship woes, phobia, first love died in freak ice cream incident?

MrsMagooo · 07/04/2009 18:37

Ours always come past at half 7 on the dot, I spent most of pregnancy chasing after him for a Feast

LuluisgoingtobeanAunty · 07/04/2009 18:40

yes, ice cream vans should only be allowed out between 10.00 and 11.00 am therefore not waking anyone up, ruining anyone's lunch , dinner or nap time etc etc

it is spring

it is school hols

he wants to earn a living

chill the fuck out, maybe a nice 99 would cool you down

JackBauerKilledTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 18:41

huh? I don't think I killed Hecate?

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 18:41

We never get ice cream vans down our road.

Gorionine · 07/04/2009 18:41

Or was it the OP you got rid off JackBauer? OP seems to have vanished!

where we used to live we had the icecream man all year. I used to turn the tv right up so the DC wouldnt hear and whinge.

ShowOfHands · 07/04/2009 18:44

A Feast MrsMagooo? Really? They're horrid. Maybe it was the hormones.

I fancy a strawberry mivvi.

princessmel · 07/04/2009 18:44

lol at 'creeping down the road'

That OP made me laugh

You do sound very angry though.

Our van comes just before tea time. And you see kids going out and getting them right before tea.

If it came later I might get one for the dc's once in a blue moon.

2 come to our park, after school, everyday.
We sometimes get one then.

randomrabbit · 07/04/2009 18:45

The ice cream man round here sells fags

JackBauerKilledTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 18:45

Not surprised Gorionine, this is her first post unless eh is a namechanger.
Baptism of fire

Haven't seen mine for awhile, I coudl go for a feast about now

LuluisgoingtobeanAunty · 07/04/2009 18:47

sagacious · 07/04/2009 18:48

The icecream van man comes round at 8pm

I have no idea why

I don't get wound up by it though saves us a fortune as dc's are tucked up in bed

My friend had an ice cream van depot round the corner that turned out to be an IRA bomb factory in the 70's (near Belfast). Small scale but still you don't expect semtex in your mr whippy.

HecAteTheEasterBunny · 07/04/2009 18:51

showofhands are you bonkers? Feasts are great! You nibble off the outside, suck all the icecream off and then chomp on the choc bit. very nice.

When I was a kid there was a van came round that had the nicest icecream I have ever come across! I used to like a cornet with toppings (crushed nuts and cherry sauce).
