have they ever been, on any topic?

@endo by @Matt you mean?

The jacket is in London with some other Relove to be photographed. @AdamJ is on the case to get it back to HQ so we can get it rocking and rolling to you. Cheers for waiting man!

[Matt]

No rush for me, thanks.

Can I rant about people that talk and make phone calls in the quiet carriage of a train? I rank them on the same level as people that walk onto a London Underground platform (through the entrance arch) and stop to look left and right, like a deer in headlights, causing a barricade of frozen confusion. Please. Move. Out. Of. The. Way.

Livid.

@Nick or even worse, FaceTime conversations

Almost as bad as when people are not using headphones/earbuds and we get to listen to their music/YouTube video stream.

Naturally, this is countered by decent noise cancellation with my own earbuds.

I'm not normally this grumpy lol

@Nick I can definitely relate. I’d add people who stop dead at the top/bottom of escalators.

haha

I think it's the 'oblivious' personality trait that is grating. I seem to go out of my way to be aware of what's happening around me. Meanwhile, the rest of the world mocks me.

[goosehd]

@ARNC well duh…where does the escalator stop

Just agreeing with you and I find it very frustrating.

[goosehd]

@Nick Lack of spatial awareness is one of my biggest pet peeves. Talking loudly, boorish behaviour, and general disrespect for others makes my eye twitch…

Don’t go to a library to have a party and don’t expect a party to be quiet. Read the room

Today is one of those days... Full grumpy mode

[goosehd]

@tody Once you hit 50, you’ve earned the right to be a curmudgeon

Edit: That may also mean that if you haven’t reached the 50 milestone, then you’re in training and on a good path

[tody]

@goosehd not too long to get there, so i better double up on training!

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd WHO ARE YOU CALLING 50 HERE?!?!?!?!?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago you’re on the right path, but still have some more training needed. You’ll fully be ready when you wake up and everything hurts, but you don’t know why. Gives you a reason to be just a little grumpy

Can the mods please love this convo to the Middle Aged Dude Problems thread please? Actually… I might just go ahead and start that now. I feel like that’s a pretty strong market share for IH.

Whenever I see a group of 3+ teenagers walking around I start to believe more in curfews.
