Good morning peevers.

I'm pleased to say that there is a bit of rain today. Parts of England start a hosepipe ban tomorrow as it has been so dry over the winter.

That got me thinking that some people will continue to use a hosepipe and that got me thinking about the wider issue.

That wider issue (that does sound pompous) will be our POTD, which is;

People who think that rules apply to everyone except themselves.

Especially those who live in HOA's around here. Then there are the drivers that skirt the law.
Good peeve.

Drivers would be #1 with me. They don't have to stop at stop signs or red lights. They are not obliged to yield or to respect speed limits.

This includes those yapping on the phone while standing in a checkout line or cutting in line somewhere. Good one!

Good peeve,Jezer. Got to agree with what SATX, said too. What about bosses who tell you to be at a meeting or opening first thing in the morning and then they are late showing up!

Are you talking about Congress and the President?

No, of course not, you're in the UK.
