Must be mega annoying.

I've not really seen a lollipop lady in action recently though, maybe this is how they're trained to do it?

If you think that is 'mega annoying' I'm guessing you don't drive.

Because vehement anti-smokers, like all single issue groups, want to not only ban smoking but anything that also symbolises smoking. Flushed with success after recent advances, they've realised that their moaning words carry power and have most likely complained enmasse to eBay. Probably because they have little else to do then spend all day buying useless crap on the Internet.

Because e-cigs still contain nicotine, which can give you cancer or make your leg fall off. Thus costing money to the NHS and making it harder for Dave Cameron to chop it into bits and sell it to Nazis and American health companies. And then where will we get the money for our aircraft carriers? Because in 10 weeks Europe will be broke and hungry and looking for easy money. And we happy English men with our strong sterling will be helpless.
And then they'll invade and take us over. And Bobs your uncle Sarkozy bumming Kate Middleton on BBC 1 at 9 o'clock.
And who's fault is it?
You smokers. You unpatriotic wankers.

When you have set off at 07:45 to get somewhere on time and this part of the road has delayed you up to 1/2 an hour while you watch a lollipop lady stood in the road permenantly, with no one actually crossing it boils yer piss a bit.

There is NO way, none at all, that traffic has been held up by 'up to 1/2 an hour' by a single school crossing.Never!

I have a rather specialised DVD on dinner ladies in action you could borrow.

Nope! Sounds like Stephen does so I'll take his word for it.

If it's as bad as you say, sound your horn loudly and yell out the window. Then she'll know she's doing the right thing in protecting the kids from aggressive motorists and take even longer over each crossing.

Similarly, I had an annoying person in front of me for the till in a shop yesterday. Half way through buying something, he wandered off and started browsing for greetings cards, leaving the rest of us having to wait behind him. When he finally came back, and was told what he owed, he said it was more than he'd expected and made her check several items back. Dozy, inconsiderate twonk.

Of course, you can take the word of anyone you wish based on no experience. I'm saying it never happens... not ever. Take your pick.

Thanks for those life tips, rwayne. What would we do without you.

Just out of interest, were you shopping for greetings cards yesterday?

Used hate those people when I worked in retail. You can only try and hurry someone up so much. Also very irriatating was the ones who decided after the transaction was complete that they changed their mind or wanted to exchange.

Well you'd maybe be listening to, and maybe believing, too many things that are
patently ridiculous.
Also you would have one less person on here to demonise for the purposes of convenience.

Laughing out loud
It's always interesting to see how others view themselves.

I've never agreed with anyone that said anything, on here, more.

Well there's a novelty.

Goodlad where's this school?

I want to sell the info to Gary Glitter.
