British Expats - Pet Peeves?

That's a rumour put about by people with entirely too much time on their hands.

Most likely caused by their gratuitous use of busses when they should be walking. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-.../i-pXPVNhn.gif

It's true, I had some cake at lunch that someone had brought in for us.

You guys need to learn how to handle winter out there :nod:

I always feel disappointed when I go to Walmart and never see any interesting characters. Now and again, I'll see a pair of PJs but not as often as one would expect.

Does my running across the street this morning to put my mail in the mailbox for pickup while wearing my pajama bottoms class me with Walmart shoppers? :ohmy::blink::eek:

There was a woman with a tail at the one up the street from us.

Re: Pet Peeves?

My recent peeve after moving into a new apartment complex is the amount of junk mail I get.

The first week I was getting mail for the previous tenant, but since this has stopped - a combination of USPS forwarding and me putting the mail straight back in the outgoing.

Nowadays its bed bath and beyond and junk magazines every day. I know that the post person hasn't been yet when my mailbox is empty.

They get paid for delivering those, therefore keeps postage costs and taxes down.

Our local Wallymart is in a fairly upmarket area and I've figured out that if I park at the far end of the carpark I can at least settle for the consolation prize if I don't see any 'people of Walmart'. The local gym usually has some fit underdressed ladies making their way to and fro... :nod:

Have you got a mobile yet? my number gets slammed with cold calls. Constantly. I'm 90% sure the previous owner of my number still uses it when not wanting to give his real one.

I got *lots* of calls from the San Diego area of late, so I might have to plan a little trip out there to 'deal with' the situation :sneaky:
