This is a question Turning into your parents

Unable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?

Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

Yay I finally got a suggestion under the wire!
So, okay...

If any bastard dares overtake me at speed on the road when I am already doing the speed limit, I willtut and say "You won't get there any bloody quicker"

I have, on two occasions, found myself by choice watching the Create and Craft shopping channel on Sky.

I once caught myself thinking "what a nice young man" about a polite shop assistant. I was barely 23, he must have been about 18.

When I hear a child throwing a paddy anywhere in public, I mutter under my breath "Just give it a bloody smack"

I will follow mr b3th around the house turning off lights - he leaves them on when he leaves a room, which annoys the fuck out of me.

I think I actually am beyond help.

After a somewhat embarrassing incident.
"I once caught myself thinking "what a nice young man" about a polite shop assistant. I was barely 23, he must have been about 18."

A student doctor (mid 20s?) was stapling my head together. Upon leaving the hospital I couldn't help but think (before the thought that she was probably worth a slice had popped in there, too) how nice, polite and friendly she had been.

It was the day after my 18th birthday.

Misbehaving children in public
make my palms itch with the urge to smack 'em upside the head.

Only I can justify this because I've been a parent myself, and never permitted such behavior from my kids.

There will be a day
that a stranger will wack a screaming, tanty throwing child over the head infront of a parent. There will be outrage, but the answer is: well, you bloody well didnt do it.

Lastest issue I have been dealing with in public shopping places (EG: Target, Big W, etc) is turning to a friend and saying "Put the child down before they get any older, stop the pain now"


Yes, Im harsh, but I dont have the maternal instincts yet and cant stand screaming children.
