No she was scary and bordering agressive - and having worked with adults with learning difficulties, it takes quite a lot to faze me. And I am very kind and patient with say old ladies who are clearly lonely and am prepared to have little chats in checkouts and on trains etc... but being actually accosted is a bit different... and she went on and on and on...... I really was a bit unnerved

Oh yes, and I also assign the temporary madness which grips hold of people as Easter approaches and the shops are packed. The supermarket is only closed for one day yet people seem to think the apocalypse is upon them and have to fight over the bread. I mistakenly didn't shop online this week and went this morning instead and regretted it as endless people shoved trolleys into me so that I finally snapped and yelled at one offending woman. Alas, the shop assistant behind me thought I was shouting at her and I had to apologise to her so the object of my annoyance didn't even get my sharp tongue.

One more thing to add to the long list of reasons why Easter is my least favourite festival of the year.

And another is Easter present ads. What's that all about then? When I was a kid you got a couple of small chocolate eggs and the 'privilege' of spending four days in a cold caravan in the middle of a muddy Yorkshire field without any TV for entertainment, and a lecture about how you should 'think yourself lucky, I only got a boiled egg for easter when I was a child". Presents?!

Well having given up alcohol for lent I am rather looking forward to it - especially dince it looks like good garden weather.... I rather objected ot Tesco's exhorting me to celebrate Easter since the 4th January - before twelfth night - clearly they can't tell Christmas from Easter

What do I assign to Mordor?

My sister's dogs.. the boy dog has a habit of urinating on my leg every time that I see him; and the girl dog gets uber anxious and urinates.. everywhere. They also have a fetish for markers.. so they chew them up and run around with random colors across their faces and paws.. (they are white.)

Umm, selfishly angry complainers. My coworkers who are always angry at everything, and thus go around complaining about every little thing all day long. They also feel the need to insult and belittle everyone else, to try and make themselves superior. A person can only hear soo much before they truly go insane.

-Allergies
-People who assume they know everything about you after a single encounter with you
-People who think killing babies is a right
-Graduation invitations that need to be addressed...
-graduation robes
-jobs with co-workers who have a problem with people who smile
-shots (as in injections)
-Friends who get drunk especially those who do it illegally
-People who argue from an emotive position instead of a logical one

The list goes ever on and on.....

I only wish there was something as exciting to look forwards to.

I'm assigning the vague sense of boredom that sets in when TV ads are pushing 'excitement' down your neck when there's no excitement to be had at a very boring time of year. I've already exhausted the traditional possibilities: repaired car, done the garden, done painting, housework, been to B&Q...There's no way I'm venturing anywhere near the cinema or the Peaks this weekend judging by the slavering hordes I've already had the misfortune to encounter. Nowt on t'internet, nowt on TV. I'm now resorting to watching Countdown and seeing if I can make rude words up from the letters Carol puts on the board. I begin to understand why Christmas haters moan so much. I think I will retire to a deckchair in the garden and fill my face with bacon butties and mugs of strong tea to counteract all the chocolate and sugar, before having a nice nap...no doubt to be rudely awoken by someone having a stinking barbecue. It's a poor do when you're excited by the prospect of cooking a roast dinner in three days' time. Moan moan moan...

I assign all of the stupid little things you have to deal with when your life gets spontaneously rescheduled. Like what do you pack when the weather's been fluctuating between 20 and 70 degrees and you don't know if you'll be home for two days or ten? Or should you just assume you'll be stuck there and have your paycheck sent home? But if you're only there two days and your pay's mailed, it means you have to wait to get paid, and if you're there ten, you miss your finals, but...

It's obnoxious.

And the stupid finger prick when you give blood. I have a black bruise throbbing just under the skin inside my arm due to a complication that meant I couldn't even finish, but my finger hurts!

I assign being woken at 6.30 am by your cats running through the house with all the grace of a herd of elephants, screeching with feline rage and then having a proper fight beside my side of the bed. This is even worse seeing as I was fresh out of a nightmare involving next door's rabbits breeding into infinity during a riot by Somali refugees, all to the soundtrack of Phil Collins' worst excuses for 'music'. I had to sit in a darkened living room for a full hour before I could speak.

No I had not been eating cheese.

Had a good laugh at a sign outside a local Anglican church all this winter:

Oh, and what do I assign here?

How about a snow storm that mixed flurries with whiteouts and came with temperatures plummetting below 0 celcius? All the sprouts of early spring blooms are covered.

No fun doing Easter egg searches outside in this weather.
