I just wanted to get people’s opinion on pregnant ladies asking people for seats. I am 6 months pregnant and up until now have found standing on the daily commute no problem at all. However, I am now starting to find it a bit of a struggle, especially when the tubes are busy and hot. My sister bought me a R...

Presuming that they haven’t driven like a spaz, do you say “thank you” to bus drivers as you disembark? I think it’s only polite, me.

Cyclists, what do you most despise about your fellow cyclists? I hate the fuckers who seem to feel the need to get dressed up as if they’re attempting a cross Pyrenees tour in order to do a 30 minute commute to work. Apart from that, I hate it when they don’t make full use of the BIG GREEN BOX WITH A FUC...

I remember there being a thread about people being rude on the tube- this happened to me the other day and not just in the sense that someone merely pushed in front of me. I’ll explain: I was on the central line in between Notting Hill and mile end just after 2 having just finished a 6hour shift. I was wearin...

Warning. This is a rant. A cathartic spleen venting. I’m in a mood so logic may not be the strong point of the below. I lost my wallet yesterday. Got out of a cab, paid, thought I’d put it back in my coat, but must have missed the pocket; wandered off in blissful ignorance until I reached the turn...

Does anyone have any experience of dealing with noisy neighbours? I was kept awake last night by the bloke upstairs blasting hip hop until one. I’m pretty sure it’s reasonable of me to be quite upset about that. I’ve asked him to turn it down in the past but he just seems to ignore me. Aside from targeted assassinat...
A novel approach to begging?

But it beggared belief, if you’ll pardon the pun. Was sitting with a friend in a pub in Finsbury Park last night, eating some chips. A middle-aged man staggered up to us, stubbed his cigarette out on the (unfinished!) plate of chips, and then had the audacity to ask us for money. I was in too much shock to eve...

So… you get copied in on an email strand at work several conversations in, only to realise that the first email is one of yours and the second is someone else saying they’re not happy with some work you’ve produced. This kind person has copied in everyone on the original email I sent and included ...

After a particularly messy and unpleasant night at work yesterday, and full of the malaise that only appears after trying to conduct a normal day on 3 hours sleep, I’ve decided to have a rant about how you (yes, you too) behave at bars. Just because I’m the other side of the bar, it doesn’t mean...

I was in a pub the other day and the barmaid, while eing pretty, had severely crossed eyes. Now I don’t have a problem with this but how do you know where she is looking? It took me 15 minutes to get served because I didn’t realise she was talking to me. Any tips as this is going to be my local soon a...
