How many of us are willing to put our lives in danger each day? I'm not sure how bad it is in England, but our police services face danger each day in this volatile world. I applaud them. |

When you walk down the hallway at work and look at the person passing you and you say "Hi!" or smile and they just stare at you!! Or...being interupted! That really irks me!! |

There are a lot of people in all kinds of jobs that risk their lives everyday for the betterment of this world. Not just cops. Why don't they get the recognition they deserve? |

I hate when you hold the door for someone and they just walk through and ignore you. No thanks. I just yell out "You're Welcome!" Maybe they too will get the hint one day. I have a hard time with interupting. I have ADD. The thoughts go as fast as they come so if I don't speak while they are here I forget it. But it is rude to interupt. |

So many people to be thankful for. But I digress, and for that I apologise. Lets get back to nitpicking. |

"how do I get to Barking station?" No please, just the question. I told him, and he turned round and walked away. Didnt even say thank you. So I shouted out "Pardon". He turned round and said he didnt say anything. So I said", "Oh, I thought you might have said thank you". But I got the last laugh, because while he was looking back at me, He fell over a bollard on the pavement. I didnt offer to help him up, I was too bussy laughing my head off. |

One rule for one and one for the other, pretty pathetic really but thats the way of the world i suppose. |
