Walking into a bookies in downtown Manchester at that time, weren't on your way to Old Trafford were you Wynonie

Well guessed, Jaysay, it was last Wednesday. Actually took her out for a birthday meal last Saturday, but I had to pretend to be in a good mood then. Was in a genuine good mood yesterday (but I didn't know I was going to be in a good mood until I went in the bookies)...if you get my drift.

I was buying a bottle of wine in a store down town when the cashier spoke to the one at the next till before serving me. Being a pensioner, I asked her if I was too young to buy the wine, but she said "no, I'm too young to sell it, I have to get approval!"

Being called an Asshole in the grocery store today , the woman in line in front of me was talking non-stop on her head-set cell phone ( think Uhuru Star Trek) whist being served , then it became my turn I asked the checker how he felt about dealing with customers like that , he shrugged his shoulders and and said its part of the job , I said I thought she's just a 'effing' ill mannered ignorant cow , the "lady" in question was still stood adjacent to the checkout and heard my comments and turned on me , trying to explain it was an important call , I asked if she was some kind of cardiologist or a brain surgeon .....the reaction ......"Your an Asshole"
What the heck happened to common courtesy
