Jeez, people and their dinky music systems....

Tourists to Cornwall who throw their shit out of car windows. Walk up the lane and there's new Costa coffee cups, crisp packets etc every fucking day.
Take your shit with you and don't put your dog crap in my rubbish bin, you fucktards.

@mariner4life yep I've downloaded my many thousands of YTM likes so I can actually shuffle the songs with an app on my phone. If I try shuffle in YTM basically plays the same 20 or 30 most recently played songs in a random order.

Same in Northland, locals just as bad tho.
I am really puzzled by petite who take the time to collect the dog shit in a plastic bag, then leave the bag. Just leave the

If you're the CEO on a workday fronting a press conference, how hard is it to turn up in a suit and tie?

fucking social media
The rest of your - admittedly deliciously spicy - rant was superfluous

Probably trying to show how cool and one of the common people he/she/it/they is / are

When the kids finally left, I said quietly, "thank fuck they've gone" to a knowing smile or two from other remaining adults.....
Not that they are bad kids, or that their parents are bad parents - very, very much the opposite - but there seems to be a modern theory of child-rearing that you let them find their own discipline and way of doing things. So you end up with a 14 yr old thumb-sucker who kneels on the table chair, uses his hands to shovel his food into his mouth with one elbow on the table supporting his head - which is about 6 inches from his plate. And wipes his sticky, greasy hands on our new, fabric covered dining room chairs - repeatedly.
I don't have a problem with parents bringing their kids up in what way they choose, just don't assume we're in on the same semi-new-age parenting shit. And when they do fuck up our stuff, at least show some concern for the damage caused.

@Victor-Meldrew how deep did you dig the hole?
Self-regulation aside there is no excuse too not instill some degree of manners and empathy. In our household genuine accidents are given a pass but listening and respecting people is #1. Well as much as Ms 5 and Mr 2 give a shit!
Don't be a dick is pretty much the MO!

Even worse, it gave me ample time to put serious thought into thinking about the wankiest beer I could possibly get.
