I was asked once at a job interview what my main fault was. 'I'm too honest' I said 'I don't think being too honest is a fault' said the interviewer 'I couldn't give a toss what you think' I replie

My missus says I've got two faults, one I don't listen to her, I don't know what she said after that.

Well, I'm certainly not perfect. I can remember making a mistake once about, let me see, it must have been fourteen years ago I guess...

Well I KNOW that I'm always right!

SWMBO says that I never know when to stop. That applies to most of the things I do, from moaning through to digging, when I usually end up moaning about my back!

Faults....well better ask my family no doubt there are loads but the one that springs to mind is that whenever I do something I like no matter what it is I put my heart and soul into it and wont stop even if I'm in agony with my back (I have a twisted spine) then when I do stop eventually I can suffer for days but at least I've done what I wanted to do. I'm also forgetful but I suppose that comes with age.

That sounds like a good thing to me, wish I was as virtuous. Take care of your back though... I'm afraid I'll start something, then 10 minutes in stop for a cuppa, then I can't be bothered to restart it & it remains un-finished. SWMBO then goes into a strop for some reason & I sit there looking ashamed.. :)

Col, the best thing to do is what I used to do with my ex. I was very reluctantly wallpapering the bedroom . She came up to inspect my workmanship which was appalling with rips and blotches. She told me never to attempt it again. I didn't.

So, make a balls up and hopefully she'll do the jobs in future.

Things just generally seem to irritate me more than they used to. Mayby I'm just turning into a grumpy old man. If so I shall wear the badge with pride. The Royal order of Curmudgeons.

I don't get irritated with my Nottingham buddies though. They might get irritated back and I don't need an internet feud. :-)

On the first post on this thread, you said no one is perfect. Well I beg to differ. I am perfect. That is a perfect idiot most of the time. Also a perfect moaning old git. The list is endless.

Oh and all those thingummies? Well what is right with me is the shorter list. I don't know right from left (I believe it is a form of dyslexia), can't ever remember names (never could). I talk to much. I keep repeating myself. I keep repeating myself. I keep repeating myself. Oh dear.

I double check the quantity of water in the kettle now, therefore that makes me perfect now. LOL

Well I'm gobsmacked. I thought my maths was pretty good, but I've just been informed that 2+2 = 4, and not somewhere between 5 and 7. Oh well.

I'm a perfectionist, can't stand "bodge ups".

Can't stand obnoxious brats (other peoples out of control children).

Screaming kids in shops, restaurants etc. see above.

No patience as I get older, so get frustrated easily.

And in frustration I swear obscenities at annoying things, which gets my wife angry as I never used to swear in front of her ever.

I've been told that I should dry pots immediately after washing, and not leave them on the draining board.

Well I assumed that's what the draining board was for.

If I've had a mug of coffee at 11, and I intend having a tea at 1pm, then drying said mug, putting it away into the cupboard, then getting it out again two hours later is a complete waste of time and energy.

A fault? ..... No way...... It's sensible thinking on my behalf.

You've had long enough Michael. Ok, I'll admit it, you're perfect. There you go, a compliment from me.

I'm not grumpy, sarcastic or just plain nasty, so therefore I must be perfect too. LOL

Through out my working life I was forced to undergo those stupid and utterly useless character assessments and mine always came back saying that I did not suffer fools gladly. So thinking more about it I thought I had made a mistake once but I was wrong.
