Another 'burping' one or two!

Better up than down, better out than in.

Pardon me for being so rude, it was not me it was my food!

[Treetotal]

I know it as:

Pardon me for being so rude
It was not me, it was my food,
Something inside me that deturped
That is the reason why I burped.

The alternative to the last word in third line was.."Departed"...you make your own sense of the last rhyming word

"One mans junk is another mans treasure"

• Another version of that is -
• One mans meat is another mans poison
  
  To put ire on ones a*se. (to really annoy someone)
  An example of this...which caused much embarrassment to my late mother.. She was going into her local church by a side door. There was a brand new car almost blocking this door.  As my mother squeezed her way around it, the next lady coming along behind her said (rather loudly) "These new rich would put ire on your ar*e".   When my mother opened the church door everyone there including the car owner turned around...

Don't know if this has been said, but I have just said it to my Director I feel like I have been pulled through a hedge backwards

In relation to one of our premises which has had several managers who have never stayed very long, the last one lasted less than 2 weeks, so who do they call? (me!) to manage it until they can find a new manager. My own premises are run professionally, organised, with happy and hard working staff who I love as my 'work family' who I trust and we get the work done , no issues and  it is a pleasure to go to work ( and I get paid so that is even better) Yesterday I thought I had walked in a 'naughty boys club' ( aged about 13 yrs) they are all grown men, the women working there I found to be subserviant, timid   walking on egg shells ( another saying)  and within ten minutes I knew why it was like walking into a playground of bullies where the females did all the menial tasks picking up after the 'boys' within 30 minutes I was 'having a private chat' with one 'boy' and giving a verbal warning as a female had asked him if he could empty a rubbish bin(his job) , he exploded with foul language sprinkled with 'F's, did it then slammed the metal bin down on the floor and no one batted an eyeball ( another saying) so it was clearly 'normal' behaviour...so by the end of the day that is how I felt disheveled, head pounding and completely unbalanced.

No-one batted an eyelid is the version that I know
