Re: Irrational Hatreds
Oh you just reminded me of something, two weeks ago we were looking for a rental and at one open house they insisted that everyone take their shoes off at the door. Fair enough we thought, but then we went inside and the carpet and floor were absolutely disgustingly filthy! What a cheek, far more chance of my feet getting contaminated than these carpets. I didn't even bother going upstairs in that one.

I went to one place that was obviously an investment property that had been rented out and the place was disgusting.... it was one of those places that you wipe your feet on the way out.
I actually did mention this to the estate agent in front of everyone in an attempt to embarrass him.

Fish. Not the type on my plate but the live type, swimming about with their big gaping gobs.

Re: Irrational Hatreds
I have an irrational hatred of the word maroon, as pronounced in Queensland. ie maroan. Why do they do this?
I have no time for the sports they have the cheek to call football either - hate them. Proper football has to be called soccer, because they've pinched the word football for something that isn't! Grrrrrrrrr They don't even use a ball: they use a leather egg.
