Post birthday musings

Another birthday, another realisation that as my age goes up, my levels of tolerance for certain things goes down. Most recently I realised that have no patience for:

- People posting vague status updates on  social media, just to get attention and worried comments. Get a dog. Dogs will give you attention  whatever you say to them. Or even borrow someone else's dog, cause you probably can't take care of one being that needy.

-  People who blame all their woes on mythical Rich, but slobber all over the privileged half brains on so called 'scripted reality shows' with easy to remember titles such as TOWIE or MIC. They ARE these Rich that you hate in general, you moron...

- People having opinions on books/movies/music they haven't read/seen/heard. Just... no.

- People assuming that because I'm over 30 and childless I love babies because of some sort of 'auntie syndrome'. I have no specific feeling towards babies. But I do prefer when they stay near their biological templates. I might growl if they get too close.

- Fat people trying to put their giant wobbly asses next to me on public transport, when there's other seats free. Can. You. Not. See. My. Hackles. Rising? I don't want to have intimate hip area discourse with your fat for the rest of my journey. Yuck!!

- People who think that as soon as sun is out it is ok to behave like deaf twats and put that radio/car radio/tinny sounding phone speaker on as loud as it gets. Living next to a road it's like being submerged into a constant stream of aural aftershock. Where's that rain we supposedly have too much of in Scotland?

- Charity muggers. Really, there is no need to smile all over me and jump in my path to attempt yet again to convince me with annoyingly soothing voice to part with my hard earned money to support a good cause. I'm going to start to carry cards with me that will say 'I already support x and x and x charity and I'm not interested in giving you a chance to earn commission on my good karma gesture.'

I'm looking forward to see in which directions this list will go next year.
