    Got asked directions to a church - i could have been a dick and sent them completely the wrong way but i was too tired and they looked very old and kind. :)

    I've already blanked out all the details of my day.

    Seriously

    It must have bothered you if you remembered to discuss it on an internet forum...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭karlog


    Girl: Do you have a light?
    OP: No but you can have my phone number.
    Girl: Why would i want your F***ing phone number.
    OP: I thought you were chatting me up.
    Girl: All i want to do is light my cigarette FFS.
    OP: Ok well i don't smoke.
    Girl: A*shole.

    Think nothing of it OP.

    this thread disappoints.



    I spent a few seconds reading it.

    I could have made a big deal about it, but I'll choose not to.

    I purchased a cranberry juice in Tallaght hospital for €1.69.
    I handed the cashier €1.70.
    I waited for my cent change.
    She just stood there and stared at me.
    Now, I should have pulled a larry david on her and educated her on the value of a cent but I froze and fcuked up.
    It has been hanging over me all day.

    I was painting a wall in work..

    Guy: That looks great.
    Me: Oh, thanks.
    Guy: Can I ask you something, I won't be offended if you say no.
    Me: eh, ok,
    Guy: Have you got green?
    Me: eh, yeah....
    Guy: I have frogs, two of them..
    Me: oh, eh, er
    Guy: I won't be offended if you say no..
    Me: ok, eh, mmmhh..
    Guy: would you paint them for me?
    Me: eh.. frogs.. two of them you say..
    Guy: Yes, in my house.

    * me takes a moment *

    Guy: I won't be offended if you say no..
    Me: Bring them in and if I have time I'll paint your frogs green.

    Guy leaves...
    Me ... stands there thinking wtf?

    The guy has not brought frogs in yet..I am presuming they are ornaments of some sort.
    I swear this is so mad it is absolutely true, I so couldn't have made up such random ****e..
    :rolleyes:

    I was in a shop this morning to get a coffee & was waiting behind an older & slightly portly woman who was filling up a cappachino from the machine.

    Her drink had finished pouring a few seconds, before she turned around & said, apologised for holding me up... "I was just looking at the cream buns", she said, "and was deciding whether to have one or not".

    "Sure why not?" I said & pushed the button marked coffee.

    She gave me a filthy look & stormed off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭jackiebaron


    When a person asks you for a light and you say you don't smoke you have just become lower than fly-faeces in their eyes.
    Nobody gives a FCUK if you smoke or not. That's not a condition for not possessing combustible materials.
    If you don't smoke and don't have a light just say you don't have a light.

    If I ask someone if they have a pen and they tell me that they type everything and "don't write" I'm going to bate the head off them.

    PS carrying a lighter even when you don't smoke is a good way to be a helpful chappie to a lady who needs one...NO?
    And you might just get to ride the bum off her.

    I think he was trying a really crap chat up line & it went way over your head. Not saying you're dim or anything, just that the chat up line was so bad, it wasn't even recognisable as a chat up line.

    He might have been trying to do a swap for drugs. Two frogs for some green? He's probably just nuts all the same.

    Ah lads...

    This guy is about 70+ (a tiny bit too old for me :p)

    It's not drugs...

    He defnitely was not chatting me up.. (and I am not dim :p)


    He seriously wants his frogs painted...

    I am honestly not taking the piss, it's a strange job I have..
    I guarantee you he will appear with two (plaster of paris/ornaments )frogs expecting me to paint them..

    true story bro ;)

    In college today

    Girl: Sorry, do you know where room G.06 is?
    Me: G.06?
    Girl: Yes
    Me: *Points to one side of a corridor* It's definitly along this line of doors, maybe down another corridor, it won't be too far.
    Girl: Okay, thanks.
    Me: Sorry I can't guide you any better than my finger.
    Girl: It's okay, thanks anyway.

    She wanted me so badly.

    Or not. More than likely not.

    I was asked did I 'have a club card or carparking ticket?'

    The nerve of some people. I'm going to next 2 weeks whining and running up a forty+page thread in after hours about it though - so it's not all bad.

    I was asked for my favourite humming noise today..
    Yes, I was visiting a clinic at the Mater Hospital and upon regging ya wan behind the counter went through my details and landed me with this bomb of 'what's your favourite humming noise'.

    I just went 'wtf' in my head and after an awkward slience said 'err none'.
    Then she just wobbled her head and promptly kept typing into her pc.

    Now, what frigging relevance is my favourite humming noise in order to get treatment in a hospital?

    Thought Ireland was in the 21st century and why would a hospital care about my favourite humming noise :confused:

    Had to get out of bed today and go to the bathroom just when I had gotten comfortable.

    I mean seriously....what the hell was my bladder thinking???

    no, no, no! take that anger to gurramok's thread, this is for the really insignificant things that didn't piss you off in anyway at all!

    It has been hanging over me all day.

    It actually costs more than 1 cent to make a 1 cent coin so technically the cent has no value....


    oops it appears i made a big deal out of something basically insignificant...oh well

    I was at a bus stop recently and there was a not unattractive looking, well dressed, young woman smoking - the smoking put me off. However, one of the track-suited brethern wandered up to her, cigarette in hand and asked her for a light. She said "no", at which point he stood away from her. A few minutes later, he secrets his own lighter out of his pocket and lights his cigarette.

    The, after another minute or two he wanders off - in the opposite direction to the bus, which seemingly he never intended to get.

    Nobody gives a FCUK if you smoke or not. That's not a condition for not possessing combustible materials.

    Imagine the reaction I used to get when I whipped out this?

    I bought some shopping in Tesco. The woman at the till asked me if two bottles of Tesco pineapple drink were mine as she thought they might have belonged to another customer. I told her that they were mine. She then told me the price of the items I had bought. I handed her €20 and she handed me my change. I put my items in a bag. I went home and put away my shopping.

    Did I mention I bought some oven chips? Well, I did. While I was putting away my shopping I preheated the oven. When the oven was hot enough I put some chips in it. I then put the rest of the chips in the freezer. When the chips were cooked I put them on a plate. When I had eaten them I washed my plate and put it in the press.

    I went to the ATM today to take out some money. The machine had no 20's left, so I took the money out in 50's instead.

    Yesterday in work I went to write an email but then it was lunchtime so I saved the draft and finished the email in the afternoon.

    That's the shocking part of this sorry affair... she 'auto-assumed'. She clearly had a smoking ethos and discriminates (possibily even conspires) against non-smokers.

    Smoking is soooooo two years ago! :rolleyes:

    It is as common as muck now.......even to see people standing outside a pub smoking looks disgusting!

    You should have said "oh you smoke?" and then made a horrible oewww face!
