I think this oversensitivity is just used as a means to an end, to help some get what they want, and to allow them to play out their vindictive games. I know, with some, they just don't know that they've been conditioned to behave badly, and to not think correctly.
By their actions, people show their class, or lack of it.
I suppose I shouldn't say any of this, for fear of offending the chavs, plebs, and general degenerates of the readership, but, it just has to be said.
Note to Numpties; This probably is about you, inadvertently, but it's all about how you choose to see it.
It was 1973, not 1972....... right on the money Becs. My dad advised me not to marry my first wife. I said, 'you don't know her dad, like I do, and you're wrong.' Well, he was right, and I was wrong.........
Advice to any youngsters reading this. Listen to your dad, he's been around longer than you.
Anybody says to me, 'what do you think?'....... well, I'm going to tell them. Don't ask, if you only want to hear, what you want to hear........
My repair work is completed today. Long story short, three trips to different hardware stores, and I had to buy a “special” lever that was $19.95 instead of a 49cent plastic nut that should have fixed the issue. All because a manufacture made their item “special”. The threads on the nut were just a little different – both were coarse threads yet they didn’t match up to allow me to save some money.

And it only took 3 hours of time.............
You think that's bad...... I went out to town today because I needed some shoe laces. I went to a small business thinking I want to support the mom and pop type business.
I bought a pack of two pairs of shoe laces....... I said how much? The smiling owner said, "£3.49 ($5) I said "you serious? What you pay for them £1?.........." Gawd, daylight robbery with a smile!!.......
On some parts of the forum, in the bar that has the Search this Thread button, there is a Display Modes button. If you click that button, then scroll down the list that appears, then select Hybrid Mode, you can then scroll down the panel that appears below that bar, see how many posts have been deleted, and from who those posts were.
It doesn't matter to me how many posts have been deleted, I can guess Many...just thinking WHY the one that was going fine was deleted...I'll never know nor the person who started the post. That's what I was thinking when I posted here.
I turned my furnace back on - it's in the 40s - brrrrrrrr - especially after feeling that 80F temp. Warm & toasty now.
