Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI did a stint at Parliament many moons ago. Just 'below' Big Ben is a computer room with corridors & large fire doors in all directions. It can be used as a short cut out of the House of Commons if you want to avoid the main melee in the lobby.
I was walking through with a couple of coffees when then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott comes striding down the corridor after Question Time which he has stood in for. There was about 8 aides with him.
I opened the door(holding two coffees mugs in one hand) and he just stormed through without a word, then another, then another. All the time, I'm holding coffee and all the time not a glance or a word.
The last guy was going to do the same so I thought bollocks & I let go of the door just before the last one got there. Being a heavy door, it swung closed and slammed him into the wall.
"Sorry about that!" I said and walked off

Thank you, telepathically, is 'Fck you,anus face'

But it's been getting on my nerves recently. I would never be so rude as to not say Thank You but some people think it's perfectly fine to have no manners whatsoever

My youngest daughter is 14 and I still ignore her til I have the necessary "please", that goes for my other kids too but she is the worst culprit.
