have just had a POINTLESS conversation outisde playgroup door (complete rant)

[nailpolish]

i was waiting with dd2 outside playgroup door for dd1 and a mother i see daily just walked up to me and starting moaning about her job

she is a cook at a b&b and she seems to fit it well into the 2.5 hrs her twins are at the playgroup, she was moaning about what she is going to do when the holidays come up, her retired elderly mother wont look after them and she was just moan moan bloody moan.
h cant people be friendly? i dont want to hear her problems - well, i dont mind having discussions about the day to day problems of children, but she just wanted to moan. i began suggesting things, she just fobbed them off with a "pft" and waved her arms around

why do folk moan for the bloody sake of it?

some people thrive on moaning

their lives would be empty if they didnt moan

moan moan moan

and they dont even listen to suggestions

Oooh I like a good moan

But she does sound very annoying

Maybe she was trying to hint for you to look after her twins

crap in an envelope and post it through her letterbox

that'll give hre something to moan about allright

so do i (well, i actually prefer a good bitching )

but you dont walk up to strangers and moan like that

PMSL NP!! Do you feel better after your moan?

well actually i might have offered to look after her twins if she had asked nicely

nae danger now

I seem to get people like that all the time - I just must have a "tell me all your troubles" face!! Honestly, I attract people with problems

Sounds like she would find something wrong with a winning lottery ticket......

she had the classic line

"id be better off on the broo"

aarrgghh

lol NP,seems like she's really got to you!! Avoid her at all costs!!

(better explain to peely-wally southerners that "broo" means unemployment benefit, niot drink)

psml - i was thinking Iron Bru there for a minute for "broo"

lol

broo = bureau, ie giro/unemployment benefit/jobseekers/signin' oan

yeah, thanks!! Didn't like to ask! Never heard that term in Liverpool!

no-one has yet to tell me why folk do this

i only asked how she was, didnt expect her to tell me! isnt the usual reply "fine thanks how are you?"?

lol; you've obviously got 'that'face, just like me!!

i shall scowl from now on then

yeah,do what I do, don't look up!

I thought 'broo' meant broom - like, she's a witch!

and what is a "peely-wally southerner" while you're translating?

You could always wait for her to finish then smile brightly and say ''I don't know what to say...my life is fabulous!'' She won't do it again
