For a minute there I thought our nomadic brethren had broken into the endorsements market and were now endhorsing certain brands of deodorants.

Well, who better really?

This one has to be the most popular trivial annoyance. In a queue for an ATM this afternoon, person at the machine appears to be applying for a mortgage or something. Next person, who has been waiting in line for a decent length of time approaches ATM, and only THEN starts to fooster looking for her card. Why the fook can't you do that while you're waiting and have the card in hand?

Which reminds me, I hate when it's my turn to use the ATM but the screen is still busy saying thanks to the previous person etc and you can't insert your card yet. There is usually someone impatient standing behind me too. Those couple of seconds before you can put your card in, when you're standing like a kn.ob - those are TA.

Spare a thought for the poor sod standing there waiting to put his knob in and holding his card!

When you buy something and it arrives and it's not in anyway like what you thought it would be. I bought a coat. I could fit four heads in it. I look like a cross between an Eskimo and a deranged hunter wearing my merchandise on my head.

idiot parents at the school play. I swear I was the only one without a camcorder, huge Nikon camera or full size i-pad. even worse they kept standing up every few seconds blocking the view :-(
(the play was for 1st class, so it wasn't some major west end show)

That "in the ghetto" song. Catchy song. I like it and all but who says ghetto? It's "da hood".

That's probably one of Elvis's greatest songs.

And it's a great song! Fantastic and catchy. It's just the ghetto part.

I wish I could 'thank' this twice!
On the other hand it would be better posted in a different thread called 'Major things that could just about send you over the edge'

What's the matter with people nowadays that they can't live in the moment and enjoy a live show for what it is without peering at it through a 3" screen and waving their iPads around the place? You see them everywhere - at street entertainment, matches, concerts - even at fatal road accidents apparently.

What are you going to do with that when you get home? Put it up on YouTube? Show it to the neighbours? Trust me they are not interested!

I wouldn't mind but most schools offer a DVD of the school plays anyway. Although even the quality of that is slightly ruined by all those fools blocking the view......

I hear you! Was at the middle child's montessori play yesterday and I'm surprised I was able to stop myself from knocking a few parents out.

We had to wait outside the hall while they got ready and when we were finally called in, well it was a free for all, with people trampling, elbowing and knocking each other out of the way. Then the recording devices began to make their appearance and the frantic, continuous waving at their child while in a half standing half sitting position. This position is abandoned fairly early on when they go into full on stand mode, not giving a fiddlers whose view they are blocking.

There was one dad there, a nice enough guy, but he lost the complete run of himself. He is well over 6ft and he ended up standing on one of the benches the whole way through so he could watch his 3 year old daughter stand around dressed as a Christmas tree while singing off key.

Writing Christmas cards. I know it makes me sound lazy but it's just such a boring task.

I went into our new Iceland today. What a pile of sh*te!!. My head was full of the old Kerry Katona ads, a table laden with every kind of dessert imaginable. Absolutely shag all selection, was gutted. Pizzas bloody everywhere though. Also, I kept trying to slide the lids of the freezers over, like everywhere else, but you have to lift them.

Why is it impossible to get a nice gift box of a nice red and white wine?? I couldn't find one anywhere, and I know I got some a few years back. So much easier to wrap too, rather than single bottles. Wrapping, that's another TA, I would nearly pay someone to do my wrapping:'(

That reminds me of a Top Tip from Viz years ago:

"Fellas. Next time you have to wrap up a present, don't, because you're sh1te at it.

Give it to the wife and she'll do it properly with extra girlie bows and fiddly bits while you're down the pub."

Dry shampoo. You'd be better off just washing your hair properly. Took me about 15 minutes this morning to get my hair into some sort of order with it. I'd have it washed and dried in the time it took.

Getting the lumps from the barf bag you left on the headboard out of it was it????

Its the opposite in my house..OH has the patience to wrap neatly but has to be waited on hand and foot while doing it:rolleyes:Pass the sissors Colser..Wheres the sellotape?...Hold that corner down there..Turns the present around and measures out the exact size paper he needs to cut:mad: FFS just wrap it up in a full sheet and be done with it...it will just be ripped off anyway..Lifes too short for that kinda thing:D

I hate waking up with that woozy hangover feeling, when it's a week since I last had a few drinks. Is it possible to have a food hangover? We had dinner very early yesterday, as OH had work night out. By 8 I was pigging Doritos, and at 10, had a sandwich. Or maybe it's from the fumes off of him when he got home . Either way I feel like crap:'(

I have the woozy feeling too but I know why I have it..Me and OH have a child free house for the weekend so I will wake up the same tomorrow hopefully:D

The way that people can be vultures with gossip. On the bus home yesterday some bint was gossiping loudly on her phone about some young person from the community who had committed suicide during the week. Absolutely tragic and I can't begin to imagine what the persons family are going through. To listen to her it was the best bit of gossip she's heard all year. I couldn't help wondering what impact it would have on someone who was related to the deceased or friends with them, who was on that bus listening to the bitch gossiping away about it.

My most disorganised Christmas was years ago when living at home, and I woke on Christmas morning and realised that not only had I not wrapped any presents but there was no wrapping paper left in the house.

Not one to be thwarted by such a trivial problem, with a stroke of genius that I'm still proud of, I nipped down to the Christmas tree where the pile of presents had been reduced to pile of discarded wrapping paper and scooped it all up. 'Just tidying up for you Mammy', I told my astonished mother before I tore back upstairs and wrapped my presents with '2nd hand' paper.

So there you go. Re-cycled wrapping paper. Probably the 'greenest' moment of my life. I think I might even have reused some name tags.

Ah yes the curse of having a head cold! Everything just tastes bland and you have to breathe through your mouth with every bite. Torture!

I am down to my last few pairs of jeans. This is because I am rather short, and can't find any to fit. Unless I want to wear skinny jeans, and look like Rumplestiltskin off the Ladybird book. They look great on everyone else but crap on me. I'm going out later, and it's bad enough that my best jeans, which I have managed not to destroy by walking on them yet, are still damp. But a little c**ksucker of a bird has sh*t all down one leg of them. One of the very same birds that I lovingly fed today, no doubt. So do I grab a wet wipe, and rub it off, and pretend it never happened? Or wear my old, almost threadbare jeans. TA is the tip of the iceberg:'(

Woshy

Wetwipe it - it'll be grand! It's dark out anyway

My TA also involves clothes for going out. I'm 4 months pregnant and at that annoying stage where people looking at me wouldn't be sure whether I am fat or pregnant so everything I've put in to got out looks ridiculous. I might just sit down all night!
