When cars are parked in disabled parking spaces when they should not be there as they are not disabled,it stops someone who is disabled from parking close to the shops,thoughtless lazy people.

When car park owners go overboard and have whole lines of disabled spaces that are never used and not enough ordinary spaces.

Which are usually empty whilst drivers are fighting for the ordinary spaces.
Woe betide anyone who takes a sensible initiative.

Oh yes!
There are 2 disabled spaces outside my local supermarket (and 2 parent and child spaces). The rest of the car park is along a short road and at the back of the building.
Many times people park in them who are neither disabled or who have children
If I'm having a good day then the car park at the back is OK. On a bad day it's not so much fun.

No you don't. It's just a massive finance deal that you're slowly paying off until you're old.
It's the same with people who drive flash cars. Most just have them on finance or PCP deals.”

If you bought a £10 DVD on credit card do you not own it until you pay the tenner at the end of the month?

Haha, that's so true. It's simply just a status thing.
When I see someone driving a flash car or yapping on about buying a home, the first thing that enters my head is: "you are poor".
When you are stood at a bus stop and some idiot comes and stands either right in front of you (so you are stood there looking at someone's back - I'm only short) or right in front of the whole right hand (glass) side of the bus shelter so no-one can see what is coming down the road.
Yesterday I was in an empty bus shelter. A family of three appeared. The Dad stood slap bang in front of me, the adult daughter right next to me and the son kept hovering around behind me. My bus was due imminently and I couldn't see a thing, plus it was a very weird to surround me like that. In the end I walked out of the bus shelter and stood behind it. Good job I did because I would never have seen my bus otherwise.

I used to work in a college and the principal wasn't one of the most popular ones we ever had but really went up in my estimation one day. A rather arrogant lecturer parked in a disabled parking bay and then came swanning into work. The principal was at the front door and as she passed he said "Do you mind if I ask a personal question?"
She became a bit flustered and said "Well...I suppose not."
"Is it because of illness, accident or were you born with it?"
"What?"
"Your disability."
She looked outraged and said in a high-handed voice "I'm not disabled!"
"I'm glad to hear it. Now walk back to your car and move it to the main part of the car park!"

You missed number 6: Grab hold of a handful and yank hard. It's so painful your body releases a surge of endorphins and you become almost euphoric - between all the sneezing and crying obviously.

You appear well qualified to offer ‘ear shaving’ advice Finny;
.....go for it!
When there's precious little space left on the Sky+ box and someone decides to record everything in HD, taking up a lot more space than the SD version would. It would be understandable (but still annoying) if the programme in question was a sporting event but Panorama?
The person I work with who thinks it's in my job discription to tell him what's happening in the cricket.

Panorama: Terror on the Beach replaces Death in Paradise tonight. Is someone having a laugh?

I love that principal.
Those people at the gym who continue to look perfectly presentable however hard they work. I do 10 minutes on an exercise bike and I look like some sort of sweaty over-boiled beetroot that has been dragged through a hedge backwards.
A bit like that emoticon!

I'm letting my mam get under my skin.
She figured out I went to trans pride. And she's been off with me since.
It doesn't help that I bumped into her when I was in town on monday.
I was in half-andryogenuos mode. (I was wearing a bandeau bra under two layers.)
Her eyes was all over the place. She seem 'animated'.
I can't get it out of my head....

Chick lit books, got to stop reading them

In our local co-op we have 5 disabled spaces but due to the shape of the car park they are a little difficult to get to, therefore most cars including disabled drivers park in the regular spaces. It's the only place I'll park in the disabled bay as I have a smaller car to get through and also see all the disabled badges in the other part of the car park.

Fair enough.... Id like to say I'm somewhat drunk right now.
I don't want to have ago at the abused. But it seems like a disgraceful genre of fiction too me. That's just my opinion though...
