My life is over

My life is over, its just downhill from now on.

Why? I'll tell you.....

I went to the shop for a newspaper on Saturday and was on my way out when I saw a young lad, about 7 or 8 unwrapping some sweets and throwing the paper on the floor, now one of my pet hates is litter, I dont see any reason for it, there are plenty of bins around and if there isnt put it in your pocket til you get home, simple really.

Anyway,this young boy was stood at the entrance no more than about 3 feet from the wastebin kindly provided by the shop, so I said " hey there's a bin there ( kid looks at me as if I have just sprouted another head) why dont you pick up your rubbish and put it in the bin?"

He looks at me with a disgusted glance and then picks up the rubbish and puts it in the wastebin. I say thankyou and go to walk off as his friend comes out of the shop and they start walking away from the shop too. As his friend starts to unwrap his sweets the kid I was talking to says to his friend" You'd better not throw your rubbish on the ground or that old man will tell you off"

Well that just about made my weekend........... I mean OLD MAN!!! I am 41 years old and I didnt think that I had reached that discription yet.

I told a friend this tale on Saturday night in the pub and he says "you think thats bad wait til you get your first grey pubic hair!!!"

See what I mean its all just coasting downhill from now on.
