View Full Version : I'M CROSS - AND NEED TO RANT
Last night I went to the gym straight from work as I always do on a Wednesday night.
It's always busy in the changing rooms, as Wednesday night is kids swimming lessons.
I put my work bag in a locker, and took my kit bag into the changing room. I got into my sweats, removed my glasses and went out into the changing room to put my contact lenses in.
I put my towel, hair bobble and lens case on the shelf under the mirror, turned my back and washed my hands.
When I turned round, some little ba***rd child had lifted them from the shelf!!!!!!!!!!
There were two mums almost next to it, and I asked them if they had seen anybody move them. They said no, but it was so busy with kids, it was hard to tell.
I looked up (although I could barely see - I'm blind without my glasses) and I thought I saw a girl with something small and white clenched in her fist. She looked up and saw me looking and ran off into the pool side.
I was going to follow her, then I remembered that now when you walk through the verucca bath to get to the pool, showers automatically hose you down.
I just had visions of a deranged wet woman in a tracksuit frantically peering down the pool trying to recognise a small dark haired child in a black swimming costume (which seemed to be 50% of the people in there!)
I reported it to reception, and the life guard had a look round the pool, but nobody handed them in, or found them.
One stupid woman said I shouldn't have left anything lying around! I'm afraid I let myself down - she got it and some more. [:0]
Leaving your purse or keys lying around is just down right stupid, but you should be able to put your lenses down and wash your hands and expect them to be there after. Also, as I not quite so politely pointed out, how the hell was I supposed to wash my hands whilst holding my contact lens case!!!!!!
To say I was cross is an understatement, and I tried very hard to work it off. Today I ache like mad, cos I did everything one level up from normal, I was that angry!!!![}:)][}:)][}:)]
When I finished in the gym I asked if anybody had handed them in. The receptionist said no, so I said that I was going to hang around the changing room, and check every cubicle, so if somebody reported a red out of breath sweaty woman loitering, then she wasn't to do anything about it - it was only me.
Two girls came into the changing room, and I was 95% convinced that one of them was the girl who had stolen them, but I wasn't sure.
Being quite an evil person, very very very angry, and also not a lover of children I'm afraid I was very tempted to take her clothes whilst she was in the shower, and throw them away in the bin outside. Then she would know what it was like to be without something important. And would also hopefully freeze to death on the way home.
In a way I was quite glad I didn't see her clearly, as I was so cross at the time, I would have pinned her up against the wall by her throat and snatched them back out of her hand. Then of course, it would be me that was in trouble for assault.
I now need to spend £80 buying some more, as they are not insured (I've checked). I wouldn't mind, but this last two months, I've worked really hard to sort out my finances, and have got loads of money saved for future expenses (car tax, mot, insurance, service, all due in the next month!). Now I'll have to use my visa card, as I can't afford all these expenses and new lenses too!!!!!
Even more infuriating is that my contact lenses are neither use nor ornament to anybody!
I know this has been a rant, but I'm still really wound up about it, and thought that if I posted a message I might feel better.
Bring back the village bobby. When I was young we were bought up to respect people and property. It wasn't unknown for the village bobby to (lightly) duff up some of the trouble makers - and they never complained to their parents, cos that would have resulted in another duff up from their dad!!!! Instead, they learnt not to step over the line. There is no punishment nowadays and kids just
Hiya,
maybe her mother will find them and return them to the swimming pool?
Okay maybe not but there must be some parents out there that would march her back there and hand them in?
Oh well we can hope!!
Love
ucky
Hi Lucky
If it was the kid I think it was, her parent wasn't with her.
To add insult to injury, I decided to go to the loo, and (minus my contact lenses) went into the first cubicle.
It didn't improve my mood to discover that not only was there excrement on the cubicle wall, but I had put my elbow in it.
Trying to look for the positive side to everything, I was just grateful if was pre-training and I had my long sleeve zip up fleece (v thick) on, and not my sleeveless training top (post training session)
This is the first (and hopefully) last time I regretted joining a. the gym and b. at the council run leisure centre!
What do these kids do at home??????
Actually think she must have dropped them in the pool - surely she isnt going to swim for a whole hour with the case in her hand - and cossies don't have pockets to put things in!
Not sure if they would be wearable after having spent hours in the municipal pool. And after the toilet cubicle experience, not sure I'd want them back after they'd been bobbing around with all those disgusting children.
Love x
Charlie
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Kids dont u just hate them... Eye balling lil scrotes.. they expect you to get out of the way for them and then do things like happened to u Charlie...
Kids like that make you thankfull for condoms haha
Hope u get it sorted out matey! and your pool sounds as skanky as ours.. lol
m :)
im a kid, does that mean u hate me?????? :(
Rachitt - if you steal contact lenses and wipe pooh on toilet walls then yes!!!!! But I'm sure you don't, I love my friends kids, and they all call me auntie. However, they DO know how to behave.
Matt - kids like these actually make me want to join a nunnery! Actually, thats not right, cos if I had kids (and I'm not going to) then they wouldn't DARE do anything like that. It's other parents I blame. I mean, who sends kids swimming with no supervision anyway. Not my idea of concerned parents! Maybe we should force the parents of these horrible brats to join a nunnery so they cant spawn any more (I'm still a bit cross as you may have gathered)!!!!!
LOL
Charlie
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
hi charlie,
I really felt for you when I read about your ordeal,
I live in an area in which the teenagers dictate how the adults are able to live, the buses dont run late because they keep hijacking them, old people dont go out after dark, all the walls and fences are sytematically kicked down and we are spat at if we go to the local shops, one of my neighbours (a tough looking guy in his early 40's) recently went out to ask them to keep the noise down one night he was very polite and said that he had been a bit of a lad too)
when he got up the next day his phone wires had been cut and his winscreen and a load of others were smashed in!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last year I was called as a witness to a crime outside my house but my doctor wrote out a note to say I would be unable to get there (thank goodness) I was terrified about any retaliation. (they only got community service anyway which they didnt complete)
last night I saw some kids bashing their bodies against my front fence and I saw red (bearing in mind that i have p/as in any form of confrontation) I grabbed some rubbish and put it out and stood there glaring at them, unfortunately when I went in they just carried on and this morning the fence was all broken but what can i do ?????????
sorry for waffling but this is a pet hate of mine lol.:(:(
and as for punishment i think these kids should be locked in a room with their parents for a year , because from my experience most of the parents round here can't stand having there kids around them !!!!!!!!!!!
i would like to say tho that the parents of all the teenagers on this site must be very proud of them because they are all very kind and respectful bless em lol
Lyn:)
Lyn,
I think you have hit the nail on the head.
A lot of parents churn out tons of kids then dont want them under their feet. As long as they are not under their feet they don't seem to care where they are or what they are doing.
These yobs feed off the knowledge that most people are too scared to report their activities due to the fear of retaliation.
And so the anti social acts continue.
I assume that the police are well aware of the problems in your area. What are they doing about it?
It must be so hard for you to try to overcome your anxiety when this is the type of environment that you are being forced to live in.
My son is 15 and my daughter is 12. They would never be allowed to wander the streets or hang round on street corners.
If they want to see their mates, the mates come here or they go to their mates houses.
They play computer, play music or, in the case of my son, go to the park and play football.
This type of anti social behaviour is totally preventable by parents taking sole responsibility for their offsprings behaviour.
Lets hope things improve for you soon, Lyn.
Take care
Kate x
hi,
just like to say that my hubby got in from work at 10 tonight and every single car in my part of the street about 100 yards has had its windscreen smashed in lucky he was out!!!!!
everything you said kate was spot on and my children arent allowed out either.
lyn x
Hiya Lyn,
That is such an awful way to have to live.
Were the police called and if so what action are they taking?
Kate x
hi kate, yes there was a police van out there but theres not a lot they can do, unless they catch anyone ( and most of them walk round here with scarfs round their faces, caps on and hoodies over the top so you cant recognise them), people will just have to claim on their car insurance again, i try to keep out of it nowadays i dont want to be summoned to a court case again and i dont want to be subjected to any retaliation particulary as i cant get out of the house much i would be a sitting target. i have to say there are a lot of decent adults and children living around here but they tend to keep themselves to themselves a lot and we did have a group of vigilantes but the police knocked that on the head.
what makes me angry is their parents say its because they are bored but the council and local churches have spent a fortune on play parks, basketball courts etc and theyve been destroyed within days and hey we found plenty to do when we were kids (and it didnt involve alchopops drugs or sex like it does round here)it was called using your imagination.
ho hum getting off the soap box now lol

Charlie - loved the post as always. I guess it wasn't so good for you - have you got the stuff back yet. Kids eh!!!
Lyn - sorry to hear about all your problems - what is the world coming to eh? Mad Mad!!
Matt - I don't want kids. Had my mates 2 last Saturday for 4 hours (not alone I hasten to add - their mum was here too). That was more than enough - nice to say goodbye to them!
Nicola
Matt - I don't want kids - I'm with Nic on that. My friends (very behaved ones) are fun for a few hours. Then I take them back thank you very much
Nic - No. I went to the gym this morning and no sight nor sound I'm afraid. Still an incy bit cross about it too, and can't get retribution next week, as got to go to gym on Tuesday and brats swimming is on Wednesday.
Lyn - that is terrible. I'm extremely lucky that I live in a nice area (apart from when Mart shot Tommy last year, but to be fair, Tommy is a windscreen breaking thug and he deserved it). The leisure centre is in a not so nice town down the road.
Kate - sometimes I could become a Nazi, and make anybody wishing to have kids pass an intelligence and financial test. Only those with the brains and dosh to make sure a kid turned out ok would be allowed to have them. And they would have to take full responsibility for their kids till they were 18.
Thats the problem - nobody is willing to take responsibility for their actions any more. It's always somebody elses fault.
I feel terribly sorry for the bloke who owed all that money on his credit cards and killed himself, and it's terrible for the widow and her kids, but I'm not quite so sympathetic when she had a go at the card companies. At the end of the day, nobody FORCED him to have a card. And surely, she must have noticed they were living over their means? Or am I just a cynical bi**h.
Bring back the bobby on the beat - and a bit of blind eye turning. I'm sorry, but the local thugs were always bought to order with a bit of roughing up. I don't agree with violence, but sometimes it's the only thing they understand.
Charlie
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Lyn,
That makes my blood boil as well when the excuse is made that the kids are anti social morons cos they are bored.
What a load of crap.
We live in an area where there is basically nil for the kids to do.
Well, I call that tough. Why do the kids of today have to have everything, including recreation, handed to them on a plate.
As you say, we found plenty to do when we were young which did not involve smashing up or stealing other peoples property.
I remember once when I was about 11ish climbing the lampost outside our house.
It was the old type which had the very appealing looking bar near the top, just right for sitting on!!
The neighbour came out and gave us a right ear bashing.
We never did it again!!
Bring back the old values when respect was paramount. Most people do not give two hoots about anyone else these days.
Charlie, if my kids ever caused anyone any problems at all they would be grounded for ever.
I would be so ashamed and mortified if my kids ever brought trouble to my door.
But, then again, myself and my husband have high standards. Others seem to have no standards whatsoever.
These parents should be totally ashamed of themselves in allowing their offspring to behave in such a manner.
Don't suppose they care though.
Kate x
Bring back national service for the little bleeders!!!!(and their parents by the looks of it)
Okay Okay let's all calm down here!!!!!
Kids aren't so bad!! You get some bad uns like you get bad adults but all in all they are not too bad and can be sooo loving and really cheer you up!!!
Theres nothing nicer than your kid telling you they love you and giving you a cuddle!!!
Okay my oldest is driving me iiiiinnnnsane at the moment but I wouldn't be without any of mine!!!!!
Lucky
Hiya Lucky
You are right there. I guess you cant generalise and lump people into categories just because of the 'bad egg' minority.
Like you say, you get good and bad in all ages. (even nice granny types and miserable grumbling ones...lol)
Most of my mates kids and my niece and nephew are lovely kids and they do make me laugh the things they come out with.
love Sarah
xx
Rubbish
Lucky - you are just sooooo naive. Kids only do that when they want something!!!!
Sarah - all children belonging to other family members are ok. COS YOU CAN GIVE THEM BACK
I am not agreeing with either of you, having just stood in the queue at the post office in my lunch hour, whilst a small child in a push chair (aged about 3 - see lazy layabout already) kept kicking me. Even though he was repeatedly told not to by his 8 year old mother.
I couldn't move any further forward cos there was a dazed and confused elderly person in front who smelt of cabbage and wee.
If the brat had been older I would have twa**ed him one, but as he was a "cute" and "innocent" and "defenceless" child, I would not have been "justified" in this case.
I'm rapidly coming round to the conclusion that Britain would be a better place if we set up a group of street patrollers, like the Guardian Angels on the subway, but different. This new group would go round, and basically give any child or teenager who misbehaved, vandalised other peoples property, stole, mugged old ladies etc. etc. a taste of their own medicine.
And before anybody gets all upset, I'm a Christian - an eye for an eye (or should that be a contact lens for a contact lens!)
Love
Charlie
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Charlie
Thats why I like them...cos I CAN give them back or leave when im fed up of it...lol
love Sarah

Lucky,
Yes, I agree, wouldn't be without mine either.
BUT, wait til they turn into teenagers!!!!!
No hugs and kisses then, they don't even want to be seen with you.
Only yesterday my son (15) left his lunch at home.
Being a lovely caring mom I took it up to the school with a piece of paper stuck on with his name and form on it.
As soon as he came through the door after school, he started telling me how dead embarassing it is when your lunch box, with yellow lid, is brought into the classroom and how even more embarassing it is when your name and form is stuck on it!
He said I could just have brought him some money into school instead for him to buy a dinner.
I pointed out that that was a bit pointless as his sandwiches were already made!!
Anyway, the moral of the story is LET THEM STARVE!!!
So, Lucky, make the most of them while they are still little!!

Now wheres the doctors phone number... Time for the snip[:o]:D hahah

Are we starting a new campaign against smelly OAP's now.
You do cheer me up Charlie ;)
Nicola
Charlie,
Bah bah bah!!!!!
You are having bad experiences with kids!!! Not all kids are like that or u wouldn't be stating these particular instances!!! Anyway don't u stick your tongue out to children in supermarkets? what do you expect!!!!
Kate - what were you thinking off - lol!!!! do u know what u have done to his street cred now!!!!!
Anyway my kids are driving me dappy at moment (both of them) so someone else pls step in and defend our future doctors, lawyers and indeed dentists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky
Nic - NO. OLD PEOPLE CAN'T HELP IT. We will be old people one day (if the worry doesn't see us off first). It is a recognised part of the ageing process that you reach a certain age and start smelling of wee and cabbage. There is nothing you can do about it. It is not related to diet and personal hygiene, but is infact generated by the DNA thread Beta-gamma-shark, recently discovered which each person has, male or female.
Lucky - you are SOOOO wrong. All kids are bast***s. They are not sweet.
As a "dotty" (sorry doting) mother, can you explain why being kicked on the shin by a kid is "cute" and "he didn't mean it" he was just having a "laugh".
If I went a round kicking people on the shins would I be labelled as "cute". I'm sure that I could say "I didn't mean it" a million times - I'd still be banged up - either awaiting trial for assault or in the local mental asylum!
Nothing is every anybodys fault, and kids get away with too much by virtue of simply being kids. Well I'm a big kid at heart, and I'm going to start doing exactly what I want to do, when I want to do it, and just blame my behaviour on being "cute", or "just messing".
Kate - your kids is an ingrate. For the next week, make him make his own pack up. Or let him starve. Or, make him realise how not really embarrasing your actions were, but waiting till lunch next time, and go running into the canteen shouting "Timmy, Timmy, don't worry mumsie is here, with your dairylea soldiers. And I've remember your favourite Sally Strawberry Munch Bunch yoghurt"
(Obviously, it will be more embarassing if you substitute Timmy for his own name)
When he gets home, simply point out that you were teaching him that embarassment comes in degress, and he has now experienced several depths!!!!!
Lucky
I only stick my tongue out when suffering from a hangover. And I only do it to horrible (all) kids who deserve it.
Charlie
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
:D very good and very true!:D
Charlie - You have completely lost the plot this time I have to tell you!!!!!!!. the child was merely stretching his dainty little legs and exploring the world outside his buggy and there was you STANDING IN HIS WAY!!!!!!! how insensitive of you! I mean how could you!
Not all kids are like that Charlie I think it is neither cute or sweet to kick anyone!!!!!! Even if it is the grumpy thirty something scary women who is sticking her tongue out to me!!!
Matt - Do Not agree with her you are only encouraging her
Lucky
Charlie,
Nice idea LOL
My son does not understand how embarassing I could be to him if I put my mind to it!!
Will definately bear in mind running into canteen with lunch box.
Could be a good blackmailing tool haha

I can't stop laughing at your post - I do hope you continue on your "hate children" campaign cos I love it!
Nicola
Nic
I don't hate all children. Every so often I have a moment of mild amusement.
On Tuesday evening I went round to sit with my best friend, who has two children under 18 months (stupid cow - I've lectured her before about contraception, but just cos she's married, she doesn't think she has to worry about that sort of thing anymore. This is quite a common mistake, and I would just like to remind anybody in a long term relationship, or who is married that you still need to use precautions, or else you too could end up afflicted. And it lasts for years - I mean, I'm still afflicting my mum, and I'm 33 ha ha ha)
Anyway her new baby cries all the time. For some reason (and she has been checked out at hospital/doctors etc etc) the new baby only poohs once a week (but when she goes - boy does she go) and is consequently constipated for 6 days. This is uncomfortable and she cries a lot poor thing.
Before any of you afflicted people start e-mailing top tips to make the baby sh*t - don't bother - I'm not interested and Rach has tried everything in the book - and more - from aromatherapy to reflexology to classical music to baths to stomach massage, three million different types of milk (as well as her own) a trillion different types of bottles, dummies, no dummies etc etc etc.
Anyway, her husband Mark goes to computers on a Tuesday, and two kids under 18 months, particuarly when one is screaming all the time is just too much! So being a super lovely kind person (but not that nice or else I wouldn't still be single ha ha!) I went round at tea time and did some chores, amused the older child, bathed the baby (it's great - there is never any danger of dirty nappies), and generally cleaned and tidied the house.
I had come straight from the gym, and after I had eaten, and got some semblance of order restored I decided to have a shower. I laid out my clean clothes and jumped in the shower. (Rach has a super dooper mega power shower that a family of four can fit into). After ten minutes of baby scream free silence, I got out the shower.... to discover that although my combats and t shirt were there, I had no underwear. I couldn't wear my glasses cos they were steamed up and I HAVENT GOT CONTACT LENSES ANYMORE, so I was very confused. Wrapping myself in one of Rachies big towels (which is on her - but then she is only 5ft) I went to investigate (not a pretty sight)
Dripping into the lounge I discovered Scarlett (the 18 month old) with my pants on her head, a sock on each foot, and my bra round her neck.
Apparently (Rach lives in a converted chapel, and the house is all on one level), Scarlett loves clothes, and often sneaks into the bathroom, and plays with the clothes in there. I'm so glad I'd put my dirty gym kit straight in my bag - I think my socks would have killed her. So whilst I was in the shower and blind COS I'VE GOT NO CONTACT LENSES - she had snuck in and stolen my undies.
And that is my (very long winded) mildly amusing child story.
LUCKY - thank you so much for explaining that. I feel so much better knowing that the little lamb was ONLY STRETCHING HIS LEGS, and not trying to kick me at all!!!
How stupid am I????
MATT - (and Nic) Ignore Lucky, encourage me if you want to, but it won't make the scrap of difference anyway - cos I HATE KIDS
KATE - I'd work out several maximum embarassment scenarios and use them to bribe your child at every opportunity. Remember though, you must be willing to follow them through so don't do anything that will embarass you, just in case he calls your bluff.
Love
Charlie
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
:D Again another post of yours that made me smile!:D You should write a book!! haha
Matt,
I totally agree with you!! Charlie should an author or stand up comedian
They do say there is a fine line between nutter and genius though........
Lucky
(PS I give up trying to protect the innocent from mad auntie charlie as I really can't win against her!!! So Charlie I back down kids are all brats!!!)
And we are all on the former side of that line!:D
I knew I'd win in the end - but it's not just the brats.
It's the afflicted, who seem to think us unafflicted actually appreciate and want the company of their brats.
Take pubs for example .... When I was little you thought yourself lucky if you got to sit in the car with a packet of crisps and a coke (with a straw). Nowadays there are brats in most pubs. Why?
They have loads of places to socialise that I'M not allowed (try getting in the ball pit at your local Charlie Chalks Childrens theme pub and you'll know what I mean), so why should I want them inflicting on me when I pop out for a pint?
I DON'T. And I don't understand why the afflicted don't realise that.
To me it's quite simple. If I'm driving along, and fancy a pint, and a pie, then I look out for a pub. If I see that the pub has a large plastic tree in the garden which is wearing a yellow hat and sunglasses, and the board outside said establishment has some sort of cartoon bear, usually wearing bright primary coloured pyjamas, then I know that this is a themed kids pub.
It is unlikely to have a pool table, darts board, proper beer, cutlery that isn't plastic, duke box and a smoking area. So I DRIVE ON AND DON'T STOP. It is a pub for the afflicted and their offspring, and they should stick to them.
In return, I don't expect the afflicted to bring their brats to my local, where I want to play pool, watch the rugby/football/boxing, play songs other than the Postman Pat theme tune, and ones which may include offensive language, and sit down at a table without encountering a partially chewed Haribo, or putting my elbow in a Munch Bunch yoghurt pot.
I also want to admonish the referee of whatever game I'm watching in time honoured tradition, or call my opponent at pool a spawny barstool (or words to that effect) when he plays a winning fluke shot at pool.
Yet try and do this, and the afflicted will glare at you, and reprimand you with the words, "Do you mind watching your language, there are children present"
To which the correct response would be (if I was rude enough or brave enough) "Yes, and they are in the bloody pub, so they'd better get used to it, or alternatively why don't you fcuk off down to the ***** (insert name of local plastic tree kids pub).
Some afflicted people even have the cheek to moan about our behaviour, even though the brats are in the pub after 9pm, and blatantly should be HOME AND IN BED!
There is nothing worse than getting to your local, and finding out that you can't get on the pool table for 8 year olds, who are aimlessly smashing the balls around, marking the cloth and getting chalk all over the cushions.
We were once playing the pub (£10 to the winner) and a brat wanted to play. It sqwawked for hours about getting on the table, and we told it that it could have a go after us. It got bored of waiting and walked up to the table and just picked up a handfull of balls and put them down the pockets!!!!!! The afflicted person with it was most mortified when it founds it's brat head first down the corner pocket.
Apparently, it was our fault, cos we had been playing for too long, and the brat was bored.
Shame, as it was for money we had to have a re-rack then! Ha ha ha ha ha
Maybe we should start a campaign to ban kids from pubs - I mean, can you imagine the uproar if we took a load of bottles of White Lightning and Thunderbird, a table and some chairs, a CD player and a pack of cards and got wasted in the school playground?
There would be uproar, but it would maybe bring it home to the afflicted that there is an appropriate place for everything. Grown ups and alcohol belong in the pub. Brats belong in school or in bed.
p.s. Lucky - How do you know my friends kids call me Mad Auntie Charlie? Have I told you this already???

Charlie - lol. What a sight that I can just see now.
I can't wait to meet you - you will entertain us for hours.
Even thought about stand-up comedy?
Nicola
Actually I'm the most quiet and boring person you could possibly wish to meet.
I will probably end up sitting in a corner (when I'm not locked in the bathroom of course) being shy. I hate being the centre of attention (unless amongst friends) so definitely writing and not stand up!!!!
Can I just point out right here and now that as I was bought up nicely and by respectable parents, should any forum members turn up at Megs in May (just waiting for Bryan to confirm a date), I shall of course be totally and utterly pleasant to all brats who may have to attend with their parents.
However, if ANYTHING of mine goes missing (including my underwear), or I get KICKED (or injured in any other way) I WILL retaliate. So be warned. Well behaved is fine - don't worry about training them first - one of my "looks" is usually enough to sort most children out. (And if not a surreptitious pinch or slap on the legs usually works)
I have actually got an adoring following of children - Laura, Ben, Tash and Scarlett - they just know EXACTLY what they can and can't do/say/get away with.
It's my belief that they love me as much as they do - cos they always know exactly where they stand with me!!!! In the corner, facing the wall with one hand on their heads and one finger on their lips !!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
