    I am not a dope! It is occasionally necessary to go off-roading when in transit between the car and the house/office/shop!! :D

    Oh, I see. Yes, of course. Seeing the rain is not a problem, not drowning is proving a little tricky! :D

    The neighbours. One guy has been wearing the same t-shirt and jeans for over three years, the exact same outfit come Summer or Winter, a t-shirt. Another has the same bag attached to him for over three years, I will surgically remove the bag myself just for peace of mind. You couldn't make it up.

    I'm annoyed by DHL's lack of updating on parcel tracking. It's 4pm on Wednesday and the most recent update of my parcel was 3pm on Monday. That is fricking useless to me. I want to know where my package is now and when it will be delivered this week, it's been telling me the same info for the past 2 days.:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭MsBubbles


    eternal ew. the same outfit is gross.
    Pumpkinseeds get massively annoyed by so called 'track your parcel' cos it never ever works for me I had one parcel that displayed the same information for 3 weeks :(

    See, this is where we plebs go wrong. What we should be doing is borrowing tens of millions of euro that we can't pay back then hiding out in our 'bog standard' 7 million euro estate in Killiney refusing to leave and refusing to pay our debts. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    An Post sent me an email today to say they've delivered my parcel. Whoever took it has signed my name but spelled my surname wrong. I have no idea who has it, there was no one in my house all day! How can they let someone else from a different house sign MY name? I better get that parcel... It was 3 new books :(

    Pseeds do not get me started. If it were an ordinary family home the family would be out on the streets in a heartbeat but because clever clogs (who flies in from england to attend court) knows how to work the system he's milking it .

    There is a bush outside the back wall of my house and some dirty ****er keeps hanging blue dog**** bags from it. When I bring my dog for a walk I pick up after him and find a bin why can't they do the same. People are so dirty.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Rosie Rant


    Eh.. Ok. Some man is standing on our fire escape drilling outside our window. I have no f*cking clue why. Isn't it lovely to be told things!

    I am so TA that I am having a great week betting I the races but am in pesky Switzerland and have to use the text updates to get news of each race. Boo to this carry on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 294 ✭✭A_smurf


    TA that I recorded a program but the sound and picture are out of sync by a few seconds. It isn't much but it's really annoying to watch when the sound is slightly ahead of when the actors speak. :(

    My postman signs for mine and hides it, (with my permission), but would get a serious bolloking if powers that be found out, he cant get spelling of my name right, so if I sign for it do I spell it his way or the proper way?? He won't sign for letters as he says, "I don't know what you've been up to", So try n catch him see where the packet is, before going official..

    The complete and utter gob****es, usually referred to as rubberneckers, that cause unnecessary delays for drivers that actually want to get home after a hard day's work. Like on the M50 north this evening. Long delays due to the sort of morons mentioned looking at an accident on the other side. Well, these will cause accidents too, if they don't pay attention to what's in front of them.

    It turns out that he was doing the same! He took it home and brought it it to my mum's house this evening! I dunno what way to spell it!Maybe make it a bit of a scribble so no one will know ha!

    The severe lack of single women in work!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,203 ✭✭✭Samsgirl


    TA by people who see rain & put on the hat, scarf & duffel coat without checking the outside temperature.
    They walk around being great sweaty lumps for the day.
    If it's cold - hat scarf & duffel coat.
    If it's raining (& as mild as it was today) brolly!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    The constant monthly financial outgoings exceeding the monthly incomings is getting really tedious now. I think I've forgotten what disposable income looks like. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭miezekatze


    Stupid android update seems to have messed up my phone a bit.

    Also TA that none of the street lights in the street around the corner seem to be working at the moment and I had to go home on my own in the dark tonight. Never got through that street so quickly before.

    Bigotry and prejudice against travellers on boards being let go


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford

    Stainless steel welding rod (think that's the correct number).....gives a stronger type weld....use spring steel

    I got a few exhaust studs that were sheared at the head or into the head of an engine last week


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭Kevin McCloud

    The stud is soft out, if i did weld on a bolt it would shear again. Ill give it heat tomorrow and failing that ill drill and tap it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford

    This is special welding rod (don't Ask me to ezplain the heat/way it works)...it will 100% work...
    It like binds with the steel better or something....Google/YouTube it....all going well it'll put your drilling and taping days almost forever behind you

    My husband let someone clean our gutters, while I was in the shower. I got out of the shower, stripped off in my room and was putting moisturiser on and some bloke pops his head up outside my window.
    My husband couldn't understand why I was annoyed. He knew I was going to be in our room naked after my shower, and knew some guy would be going up a ladder. Didn't think to tell me.

    My housemate's brain seems wired to give endorphins when he speaks, regardless of the content. He has a tendency to talk complete inane rubbish. When telling a story, he seems to loop over and tell the same thing about 2-3 times and it's hard to get away from him. I've actually taken to just walking out of the room mid-conversation.

    He meets me as I walk in the front door. He asks "are you just in now?". No, I've been sitting outside for 3 hours for the laugh!

    He orders takeaway, sits down to eat it and when I walk in the door, he says "I'm got food just now". No, you got food 3 hours ago and you're just eating it now? Bloody hell.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    The phrase "I'm trying to help you", did I ask you for help? Do I need your help? No I dont. Stop ramming unsolicited help down people's throats


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭Kevin McCloud


    I was cleaning gutters earlier and had a fine view in the window, just about to take a photo and the battery in the iphone dies.

    Paranoia. After being robbed a few times in the last few months, every noise freaks me out. My boyfriend ends up searching the whole house and outside just to put our minds at ease.

    I can imagine, I'm pretty paranoid too but have never been robbed here. At least he searches for you, that's love :) my husband tells me to feck off when I ask him to check the wardrobe for murderers.

    My girlfriend takes actual precautions against murderers too. Like, when I get home from work I open the door to the apartment, walk in, switch on the light, take off my coat, etc. and the door swings shut behind me.

    She walks in, turns around, and closes the door. In case a murderer follows her in.

    Girl watches too much CSI.

    I'd say the majority of us turn off the light downstairs and then run up the stairs in case the murderer tries to catch us. That's a fact, maybe.

    Jeez, that's awful. I'm not surpised you're feeling paranoid, sometimes a dose of paranoia can be a good thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    The sheer irresponsibility of some people. My brother text me yesterday to tell me he was "going off" for a few days. After all the tantrums he threw to be the one carrying on with the farm, we went out there this morning -- they've no silage or had no water. Filled up their water but I won't be able to feed them until later tonight. How does such a thing not even cross someone's mind?

    I like the way you didn't even mention the word "cows" or "cattle", you're such a farm-girl at heart it was so innate in you sure what else would you be talking about, Bridie! :pac:

    Oh he wasn't too happy but he would prefer to be safe than sorry! It's am awful feeling! Murderers in the wardrobe is a serious fear!!

    Pumpkinseeds, I agree that paranoia can be good! Before Christmas my mums handbag was stolen as soon as she got into her car. A couple of weeks later, a guy started following us and only that we were paranoid from her bag being taken, we wouldn't have been so cautious around him.

    I hate people who think it's okay to take other people's things without thinking of the effects. It's more than a TA really.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Rosie Rant


    I hate when a writer feels like he/she has to remind the reader over and over and over about a particular fact. In the book I'm reading at the moment, the two main characters are twins. This fact is mentioned every time there's an interaction between these two characters. Also, the twins' relationship is starting to get strained and they're drifting apart. The writer also mentions this every time the two characters interact. It's as if he assumes that the reader is an idiot who can't retain these particular pieces of information for more than a page or two. I have rolled my eyes so much reading it, they might get stuck up there!
