Busybody neighbour won't mind her own business
I have lived in my flat for about 5 years now and I love it here. It's right next to two town centres and most of of my neighbours are great - except for one smelly old racist busybody who won't mind her own business.

Thin people find weight comments offensive
Why is it that people who think it is perfectly acceptable to make comments and jokes about how thin you are? Not all thin people are thin by choice and some of us have to work very hard to gain weight.

I was at a bus stop the other week when a man came and stood at the stop and proceeded to spit every 20 seconds or so. The man was probably stood there for about 10 minutes and so there were splodges everywhere.

Neighbour parking in front of my house
I've asked them countless times not to allow their visitors to park outside our house and the response was 'What's the problem?' Well I think the problem is that some people are incredibly selfish and inconsiderate!

Manchester - city and town planning gone wrong!
Walk around Manchester city centre and you'll feel your spirits sink as you are bombarded at every turn with the 'grey', the 'concrete', the 'dirt', the 'bleakness'. It's a perfect example of town planning gone wrong.

Show old people some respect
As an elderly pensioner, I have been aware for the past few years that here in the UK, younger people appear to have little respect for the old folks. I can only assume that their parents have failed to instill such respect in them.

Nearly run down by a mobility scooter
I've just come back from the shops and had a lucky escape having nearly been run down by one of these mobility scooters you see all over the place these days. These things are a becoming a real menace to pedestrians!
