Something that annoys me is the scroungers on trains that beg for money from tourists between London Bridge and Charing Cross. They know they have a captive audience as the people can’t get off the train so they start telling some made up story about how they are struggling. Sometimes it’s funny though there was this bloke the other week pretending to have a judder as he walked and stammered as he talked. I wouldn’t have nominated him for an Oscar. I had to bite my lip to stop from laughing at him because it looked so fake but someone still paid him. In my eyes it’s just terrible that people on holiday away from their jobs have to put up with it. I would say if you see such a person just ignore them because they know the tourists are the most generous people. Those wearing work clothes they largely ignore because they know they see it day in day out. Paying these people money because you fall for their story or because you just want to get rid of them is a mistake as it encourages them to continue with it.

There are loads of resources open to the truly needy they don’t need your money.

A rant about my career:

You did not call me. You did not leave a voice mail. I have four numbers (yes, I need them all) caller id on all my phones, and voice mails don't just get lost.

Oh look lucky me I have a new tray icon to suck up more of my system resources. This one looks like a washing machine or camera with a green pointy arrow next to it. Next to that icon is a Q clock but not sure why the time is always ten minutes past one on it.

for my ex - thank goodness, i'm NO longer married to you put up with such crap ...whine and bitch about how much support you're paying me to your 1st wife in which you're still married too!

for the grocery shoppers - just because the store is crowded, it doesn't mean you have to act like a spoiled child when security tells you to leave because you're causing a major unpleasant disturbance!! also, ONE cart per person!! do you really need 2 to do all your shopping in one day?!?!

to public transit system - raising fares will NOT increase your ridership!! we demand and deserve better than the crap service you provide!!

thank you for letting me vent
