Why do people feel the need to lie

As if it's gonna make life easier?!

And I don't even mean average people, like if an individual lies it doesn't usually make a difference to me. Most people will lie about having rich relatives, or a fancy computer, or a nice holiday. TBH I don't care if your cousin is a millionaire, your computer is worth £2K AND you went all the way around the world on your last holiday.....that's nice for you, but it's not gonna impress me whether it's the truth or lies.

What I don't wanna hear though is lies from companies. I rang the company that I start with in November to find out when I leave....I rang them Tuesday 28th October, (remember that!) and the nice yet slightly annoyed sounding lady on the other end of the line said 'The details haven't been finalised yet' Now I dealt with that, there are something rediculous like 1500 people being transported within the space of 2 weeks, it's alot to sort out I think anyone could accept that.

So I log on to the staff room for the same company this morning, and ya know what it said?! 'Everything is now finalised, we are going to send the details out in batches, the first batch was sent TUESDAY 28th OCTOBER'

WAIT!! WHAT?!

Well, I think it's pretty clear that I am not impressed. If she'd said 'We've finalised them and started sending them out' and then I had read that they had already started sending them then that would be fine because the two statement support each other. But seriously just why lie about it?! it doesn't even make any sense, it's not like it makes me feel any better. It certainly doesn't make their life any easier. Just what is the point?!

Argh....and I still don't know when I leave...I want to know dammit!!

Dear street cyclist....

I know you think you look all cool winding through the roads on your little bicycle, and you think you are clever because you can cycle past all the cars however the highway code does still apply to you, ok?

When I cross the road I do not expect you to almost hit me because you think you can go through red lights with no consequenses.

When I am cycling the right way down a one way road I do not expect to almost collide with you because you think you can cycle the wrong way down it. You are not special, one way roads go one way.

And when I am following the law and you are not I do not expect you to get road rage at me 'because I was in your way'. If I am in your way because you shouldn't have been there in the first place then that clearly isn't my problem.
