Hmmm...
I like this QOTW. It makes me angry when people think they are better than me if they find out I live in a council flat, I'm married, have no children and work full time. We just haven't been able to afford a place of our own. Until now. Which brings me on to the next thing that makes me mad - trying to get a home. We were told there was no chain and as quickly as we could get our side of things done, we could move in. Or not as it seems, as they appear to have quickly changed their mind, they are now buying a house and we have to wait now for them to go through the same process we have nearly finished going through. Instead of moving next week, it could be next month or next year.
It also makes me angry when I am in my local shopping centre and hear from the other side of whichever shop I may be in, the cry of an obviously upset child, who needs a cuddle and some words of comfort. It makes me angry that the words of comfort are usually 'Shut the f*@k up before I give you something to really cry about.' The cuddle usually comes in the form of a greggs sausage roll wedged into their mouths to muffle the sobs. I understand it must hard looking after a child but these are usually the people who, 15 years down the line, moan about having grandkids to look after instead of having their freedom, or have to visit 2 different prisons a week to see their kids.
Got a bit carried away but it was theraputic.
Haven't posted for so long I feel like I've lost my virginity again!

I agree
On the crying-kids-being-screamed-at front.
At the shops, on the bus, if there's a bawling child it's generally accompanied by one of those hissing voices that tries to combine hushed tones with threat that carries particularly well to everyone in a twenty foot radius.
"Shut the bloody hell up you little sh*t!"
For the most part it's issued by a young woman with hair pulled back painfully tight (what do they call that? Chav facelift, or something?) wearing a tracksuit and a scowl.

Anyway, drifting...have a click for encompassing the frustration better'n I can.

While you're on, hon
Well, I agree with the above, but since I'm the person that the very beautiful and lovely Pink Goddess is married to, I would :) .
