minor things that make you fume

Missus has got a bit of an eye infection. She was gonna go the doctors but got an appointment date in November! Went the walk-in and was told a near 5 hour wait...on a Wednesday afternoon.

Absolute state of this country.

Ex-girlfriend of mine from years ago is now a GP. Apparently nearly 20% (nationally) of patients fail to attend their appointments, and this is the single biggest factor in the difficulty involved in getting people in to see their doc.

I'm not expecting sympathy on this one, but my in-laws are getting on my nerves...

Mrs. tree is very big on always getting on with everyone, even if it means grinning and pretending to have fun for the sake of doing things that her family want to do even when it's not of interest to us. We've had several minor instances of this over the last couple years and I am very much of the view that if someone's being a prick it's important to tell them, and if you are invited along to something that is of no interest to you then its perfectly ok to decline. In her family, these are both cardinal sins.

For the second time this year we are going on a hot beach resort-style holiday (neither of us like these, we are both ski fanatics) with her family, because all her siblings crave hot weather and apparently 33 degrees for two entire months in England doesn't count. After finally getting to grips with this I thought I could tough it out, but I've just discovered that the dates we are away for this mean that she and I will be unable to attend either of John Williams' live performances this year. The man is well into his eighties and has announced that he will retire after the next Star Wars movie, so I'm now worried that we might not ever get to see him in the flesh. She won't budge, so instead of enjoying an evening listening to one of the world's greatest ever composer/conductors, I have to slap on a ton of factor fifty and try not to murder a bunch of spoilt tits who mock me for liking classical music in the first place.

I don't even feel better for ranting about it on here ffs.

UPDATE:

Family holiday cancelled as one of the parents now cannot make it. :dance:lol

However John Williams' concert is now sold out. :rant::rant:
 


And while I’m here, modern gourmet burgers.

Not the taste, because they all taste lovely usually.

But the vertical size. How the hell am I supposed to get my gob around one? And I’ve got a huge gob.

When will they learn to make them wide and not tall?
