Women having to lose everything and end up in a refuge penniless and with upset children cos their husbands have hit them - and he gets to keep the house/money etc. whilst they have nowhere to go and no income.
Also men who think a woman should work full time/ come home, cook tea, see to kids, clean house until spotless, run round waiting on them hand and foot, then service their every "need".
Paedophiles and rapists being allowed to still breathe.
Bosses who sack women because they're pregnant - making up an excuse that of course is nothing to do with a baby. Also employer who tell you straight at an interview that they won't employ you cos pregnant and will cost them money for nothing - then deny saying it when reported.
Filthy toys in hospitals or doctors - how clean is the rest of the place? Also filthy toilets in maternity wards/public toilets - even with an attendant.
People at the "basket/10 items checkouts who pack really slowly, insist on paying by debit card, then hold everyone up when it gets rejected and they have to find a cash machine - and you have to wait or go to another till. Also people who shove your stuff down the belt so they can get theirs on and yours falls off and breaks, so YOU have to get another one, (then they huff and puff at having to wait). Or they put their stuff on yours so you end up paying whilst they quietly take it back with some extras from yours. Or you are madly trying to pack and struggle with bags and they send yours or someone elses stuff flying at you so it breaks/gets mixed up/stolen by the next people.
I'm off again...
Paying a fortune for Sky and after flicking through millions of channels, you find nothing interesting - and put ITV on.
American sitcoms with canned laughter.
Stupid "classic" british comedy series that shall remain nameless.
People getting sent to prison for not having a tv licence.
Standing in a cafe trying to order with 2 screaming kids and the one and only assistant there takes your order - then ignores you and starts wiping trays. When you ask "Will it be long, I'm in a rush and the kids are hungry". They reply "we're waiting for chips. "But what's wrong with those chips" "They're for people who order xyz meals and the staff" Then they talk to someone else and cut you off/ignore you when you decide to order an "instant" alternative. Then look down their nose at you when you say you've decided to leave it as they've got to "take it off the till" (despite never bothering to ask for the money/extras etc - therefore unfinished order.
(That actually happened to me yesterday)
My father coming round today and asking when I'm going to tidy all the toys away/chuck them in the bin as "you can't move in here" and the "kids shouldn't have all these toys" (told him if he didn't like it tough, tidy it himself, as I let my kids play with their toys, not keep them in a box - long story, but I think he got the message :( - and the kids tidy their own toys, I'm not a slave. (A woman's place again grrr and I am 31, not 13)
That's it for now - probably this thread will be locked to stop me when I come back to it :o
