    When someone else's piss splashes back on to you. Makes me feel sick :(

    Or from the puddle that has formed if you are near the drain end, or from someone elses pee that is traversing the trough whilst mid pee and its a you and stranger 'splash back ultimate combo'

    An electric cattle prod should be legal in these instances.

    Those blooming awful taps that spray water all over you when all you wanted to do was wash your hands. Grrr

    In our toilets in work, we have these auto spray air fresheners that spray out a scent every so often.

    Stand too close and you will smell like 'Citrus Blast', 'Ocean Wave', 'Lavender-Vanilla-Melon' or 'Mulberry and Cinamon'.

    And then to add to the fun, sometimes the long awaited bus promised on the display fails to materialise at all, and just disappears off the screen.

    Ghost buses... Or maybe it's like Harry Potter.

    Or ghost chips.

    I wish they would make food scents like fries smothered in gravy or chili con carne.

    That wouldn't work in workplace toilets though. You'd associate the smell of the food with the underlying smell of poo and it would put you off that food for good.

    (Good idea for dieters though! I wonder if there's a chocolate scent... it would help me...)

    Might help me too but then I have been known to eat while sitting on the toilet. LOL

    Of course that was YEARS ago. :D

    The construction noises outside are annoying me. I wish they would get done and buzz off. :mad:

    Did you go to UCG in the 90s? I often heard someone munching away at their apple in the toilets off the concourse...

    There are three ads on telly atm that are absolutely doing my head in.

    1. The Seapoint Clinic one, with the guy with the very syllabic way of speaking. "Click. Tight. Dentures".

    2. The McDonalds one: "Barry shaves his chest!" "No way!" :mad:

    3. The Vodafone one with the old man and the horse racing. How is he watching the horse race continue? Is his son supposed to be running along beside the horses? :confused: Stop patting your knee old man! :mad:

    Speaking of all things word associated (wouldn't be a trivial thread without the usual toilet humor:D), but I used read your username as Anglomerdo, not nearly as funny any more once I learned to read it correctly. Now I can't unlearn it... :(

    Buinneach.

    A great word meaning "Scutter" or "Scour" in Irish.

    Toilet humour makes me happy, which doesn't belong in this thread.

    Trivial thing that annoys me: People who don't like toilet humour.

    People calling other people (who tend to be the more open-minded type) liberals in every single argument.

    What even is a liberal!? :confused: I had a vague idea before but now I don't have a clue because it just seems to be an insult thrown around in every political argument when one person runs out of ideas...

    Liberalism is the simple, benign philosophy that a man has the right to walk abroad and scratch his balls at any hour of the day or night be playsing him, worship/not worship as be playsing him, and open his mouth and say what he likes. The notion has been hi-jacked by various worried, earnest types, many of whom have beards, and used to push all kinds of stupid and highly personal agendas, involving Pandas, one-legged dyslexic Ethiopian lesbians, property taxes, etc.

    You tube suggesting worship songs for me based on past searches :confused::confused::eek:

    Needing to pee and not having anyone to relieve me. Nervous jigging and foot tapping.... :(

    Maybe a worship song will help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,183 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    Okay.. I think I understand! :pac:

    Let me put it simply: as far as a modern Liberal is concerned, "Liberalism" means everyone can do what they like. As far as I'm concerned, it means everyone can do what they like except me. I have to pay for it, you see. :pac:

    I seen a lady today and the first thing I thought to myself was 'she's wearing a pencil skirt, the thread on boards and czechlin have thought me this wonderful piece of fashion trivia'.

    I spent a couple of seconds mulling this over and chuffed with myself, rather than czeching out the female in the pencil skirt. So instead of 4 or 5 seconds of oggling, I got only about 2 seconds when my man brain kicked back in.


    and before anyone asks, yes, she was an absolute cracker.

    When you do something twice when you should only do it once, but because you're going too fast, you have to go a second time.

    Wait...makes no sense. Post needs example:

    You are stapling notes together and staple down and realise there are no staples left but by the time you've realised this, you've pressed the stapler down again.

    My pencil skirts are all fine! They fit like a glove!:)
    There is a small problem when I don't wear tights (like today), which I believe many women have experienced, however I don't want to be known for disobedient skirts so from now on I will keep all skirt related embarrassing incidents to myself :o

    I still love skirts though, I have more skirts than trousers!


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I only bought a pair of trousers last week. That's the only pair of trousers I own!

    Now, what's the issue with your skirt, share with the group.

    Women being disorganised at the front of the shopping queue. Fair enough if they have babbies with them; not so if they still get flummoxed doing something they've done every week for X number of years...
