Manners and basic decency

PMSL at the idea of taking one's horse to the side to do a poo ?

I never understand why people get so funny about horse poo in the countryside. It doesn't smell (certainly not inthe same league as dog poo anyway), disintegrates quickly and won't give you toxoplasmosis. And you were on a bridleway - surely a bit of horse poo shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise?

Horse poo is far less unpleasant than dog poo- it's not smelly, it's not full of diseases, it's basically just processed grass ? It certainly doesn't bother me on bridleways and roads.

Next time, why don't you "accidentally" lose grip of the door as he's about to come through????

TBH it didn't bother me, I was just being the advocado. However, we weren't in the countryside - this is a bridleway that runs around a town, well used, mainly by walkers. It's gritted, so not a standard muddy bridleway. My point being is there is bins for people to put their dog poo on if they poo in these areas, why is there different requirements for horse owners? (I know practically it's difficult)

I'm fairly sure that the requirement to pick up dog poo is due to the risk of contracting toxoplasmosis from dog poo. I seem to remember the requirement to pick up after your dog coming in around my last year of primary school (so around 1990) as a few children had lost their sight after falling over in dog poo and then rubbing their eyes. I could be completely mistaken though!

My sis and I were walking through town the other day and watched a woman let her dog foul the pavement, she made a good show of pretending to get a plastic bag out of her bag but then after several minutes carried on walking without picking it up, made me really angry considering only the day before I'd got dog poo on MissSun's pushchair. It's disgusting.

I was in the queue in Tesco a couple of months ago, their PIN machines were out of order and the young guy in front of me had an old card with the signature pretty much faded, the woman behind the till wouldn't accept it and he was going to have to leave the shopping and go and get some cash, he had about £20 in cash and was short of about 20 odd pence. I said 'ah, don't bother for those few pence, here you are' and handed the assistant the extra that he was short by. As my grandmother would say I didn't even get a 'kiss my arse' from the young lad. I was thoroughly put out.

There is one phrase that I hear all the time in my job and quite frankly it makes me want to scream.

Often we have to get people changed into a hospital gown for an examination, I explain why we get them changed and give them a gown asking them to put it on with the ties at the back. Then the patient will say.

"Oh I won't be to tie that, you'll have to do it" ?

I love my job and I like helping people but would it be so bad to say something like " Oh I won't be able to tie that, would you mind doing it for me?"

Or am I just a fussy cow?

I was about to pass through the automatic ticket barriers this morning, and I always hesitate slightly before putting my ticket in just to make sure that the person in front of me has actually got through safely (for reasons that will become obvious below!). But today, this woman simply pushed me out of the way and stuck her ticket in.

Which was a bit unfortunate, as the person in front's ticket hadn't actually opened the barriers (it said "seek assistance") - so all the rude woman did was open the barriers to him, but they then shut before she could get through herself, forcing her to join the back of the manual ticket inspection queue. And since this was slap bang in the middle of the rush hour, it was very satisfyingly long. ?

she only went and did it again this morning. wtf? does she not have a toilet in her house.

I'm quite disturbed by seeing 6year old cock first thing in the morning.

Only on page two, there is no excuse for that. Hilarious!

For some reason, that played in my head as Myfanwy from Little Britain saying it.
