I was in Tesco's car park this morning sitting in my car waiting for my daughter to come out and a woman emptied her shopping in to her car and put the trolley in front of mine.
I got out and put her trolley in front of her car when she was about to drive away.
She was annoyed.

I notice the posters who stick up for hunterf never actually reply to his posts

Frank, if you have 2 daughters and 4 grand daughters, surely that is riches beyond compare? Not being 'snippy' and do look forward to your posts.

Oooops! my comment was meant to be in agreement with wheniwasyourage- it just got out of sequence!

york46 Mon 01-Jul-13 22:27:51

And me!

Hang on! Were you referring to Frank, or the trolley woman? confused

merlotgran Mon 01-Jul-13 20:21:04

And me. Frank is always good for a laugh. grin

j08 Isn't bitchiness invariably stupid? So bitchy stupidity would be tautology. That still doesn't answer my question or do you reckon that an act of careless stupidity and one of intentional stupidity are equally bad?

j08 Mon 01-Jul-13 20:09:00

Absent I guess either is better than bitchy stupidity.

I have got 2 daughters and 4 granddaughters who will not let me get rich.

I don't know any more about the cow on the phone.
It must have gone in to a phone box and somehow put the money in it and dialled my number.

You are certainly wrong about my car.
It is 21 months old and 22,000 miles on the clock.
The front tyres will need replacing soon.
The only Austin Allegro I drove was a hire one in Jersey.
I collected it and it broke down 2 miles down the road.
It was replaced with a Volvo.

So which is worse: thoughtless stupidity or deliberate stupidity?

j08 Mon 01-Jul-13 19:40:36

(But I would like to know more about the cow and the phone)

j08 Mon 01-Jul-13 19:39:57

And me!

petallus Mon 01-Jul-13 19:34:30

I do so agree with wheniwasyourage

janerowena Mon 01-Jul-13 19:09:10

I would have loved to have done the same, frank.

Wheniwasyourage Mon 01-Jul-13 19:05:31

Can we have an end to the increasingly nippy comments to Frank? I think (in this case) he's right about people who do things which make it obvious that they don't acknowledge the existence of others. Ok, some of his posts are a bit unusual, but he's not nasty to those who reply to him - I assume he has a sense of humour, which is always a plus.

Even if he doesn't exist, he's entertaining, and I think we should be nice to him in return for his making our lives more surreal. flowers for you, Frank!

Frank, so happy for you that you appear to have no real problems in your life, that you must seek them out.....

gma Mon 01-Jul-13 18:14:38

opps!!!!!!

I hope that the woman who put her trolley in front of your car is reading this........Hopefully she will do it again and be a gransnetter, she could take a photo of you with her phone and let us all know just what you look like. My bet is, medium height, thick glasses, flat cap, brown mac, socks and sandals, drives an Austin Allegro (had since new,2000 miles on clock and furry dice) On the other hand she could do it all again and as you got out of your car she could run over you and give us serious gransnetters a break from your inane drivel, Frank.....its not entertaining any longer. smile

"strange people about today" Well, yes!

HUNTERF Mon 01-Jul-13 16:30:23

And a cow has just phoned me.
It said moo down the phone.
How did it dial my number?.

Frank

mollie Mon 01-Jul-13 16:18:02

Wicked ladies grin. Frank is making a point ... Have some sympathy!

janthea Mon 01-Jul-13 15:43:38

I also wondered what the lorry had passed rather than failed.
