[Thoroughly Tasteless] Reader's Letter Of The Day

I'm surprised that The Metro printed this one:

Housemates who slam doors in the late hours. Should I moan or just give them a copy of Anne Frank's diary as a helpful guide to being quiet?

Jo, Bristol.

There's a couple of (nevertheless amusing,) dodgy ones there; the erection one and the pregnant one e.g.

The pregnant one was along the lines of 'Pregnant and want a seat? Don't travel during rush hour'
Just so long as this same rule applies to the elderly. Just as being pregnant is (mostly) a choice, being an elderly burden on society is too.

Oh come on, it was funny too

PJH, the tree one was innocent enough.

Mom, I'm tempted to agree.

DrE, yes, about as funny as the expression on Anne Frank's face when she unwrapped her Xmas present and it was a trumpet.

Some years ago, a dramatic presentation of Anne Frank's Diary was staged in Dublin. The production was so dire that, when the Gestapo arrived, the audience shouted "SHE'S UPSTAIRS".

It's certainly not funny! My miserable flatmate has just had a go at me for 'slamming' my bedroom door at 9am in the morning when I get ready for work.

He hates it up here anyway, has no life and is just biding his time until he can get a job down south. But he's a tight bastard that won't pay the rent/bills on a flat, so shares with 4 people and complains that they don't fit into his sleep patterns.

Shared houses are full of these wankers, they are as bad as the homeys!
