Missed my motorway turnoff and ended up being late for work. While driving, my radio kept crapping out for a few seconds at a time during my favourites bits of my favourite songs. And I got wet walking from my car to my office.

Get in and feel and smell damp. Then Tony Fenton dies. Then I get soaked at lunchtime running to and from the car for something. Then Terry Pratchett dies. Then I make tea for myself and hope the day ends soon, but I realise my previous running to/from the car has made me all sweaty and I am getting constant whiffs from my own armpits.

Won't this day fcuking end already

I dont think anyone would blame you for downing tools and bailing out. Somedays are best just written off!

I was running up to the school to collect the kids when two women came towards me hidden under umbrellas, neither of them were looking where they were going. I stopped because I am sick of rude people not moving out of the way and one of the bitches bashed into me. Not only did she hurt me but her bloody umbrella soaked me. She didn't as much as say sorry, people are so rude:(

I have to ask, what are bandwagoners?

I went over to get a few bits at Tesco, and my leaving coincided with school finishing. Parents use the Tesco car park to park up and wait for their kids, and as it's a bad day it was very busy. I was waiting to pull out of a side road onto the main road out, and not one fecker would let me out. I counted 5 green lights before someone decent waved me and the car behind me out. It annoys me because I'd be the first to let a car or two go ahead of me .

There should be a special place in hell for drivers who don't slow down when driving through large puddles and thus managing to soak pedestrians. ****.:mad:

As per the post about the green light to turn right earlier. I was at a junction waiting for the green light and there was oncoming traffic traveling fast then this psycho lorry driver starting beeping furiously behind me and gesticulating wildly. What was I supposed to do, the light wasn't even green and there were cars in my path. No matter how fast you drive for some people it's never fast enough either.

TA - it's cheltenham, and I put some money on horses. I never really watched horse racing before, until today (after I made bets) and God it's so cruel I was in tears by the time the race was done, terrified one would fall/die. Both horses I bet on won, and now it feels like blood money. Such a hyprocrite.

Yet doesn't mind pulling pubes out of peoples tender regions, hmmmm. cruel and tears spring to mind on that :eek::D

It's amazing when you get it all back though. Last year I was emergency taxed for months and when I got it back I bought a pair of louboutins!!

People who jump on the latest bandwagon. The Kony crew, the current crop of bearded merchants, basically anyone following the latest trend because it's seen as cool. The likes of the Kony crew really get me though, don't jump on a bandwagon without checking the facts.

Going down N7 yesterday afternoon, right at the junction where you take the 2 left filter lanes into Naas (at the big ball) a Pajero in the filter lane swings back out over the hatch lines to join the main road, I blew the guy out of it, no indicator or anything,
I hit the brakes then overtook him, flippin muppet had his big headphones on and supping his milkshake bopping away, in a world of his own...

How do you not notice the left turn arrows in two lanes for 500meters, this isn't the first time it's happened to me, now I watch for them to swing out. should be a camera on it.

Our new neighbours. Their little girl seems to just scream instead of talking, and it's constant. She throws a tantrum every hour. tempted to bang on the wall earlier.

Try living beside a shouty couple with three kids that always seem to scream and shout, get shouted at by the parents, followed by tears. To add to this, doors are slammed at all hours, the shower goes at all hours, things are always being moved around loudly. There is the odd bit of DIY, including drilling, which happened to be started around 9:30pm on the Saturday just gone. Who starts drilling at that hour on a weekend?

Yes, we've had five or so years of this, but even before they moved in, there was hassle due to work on the house being done into the small hours. I really hoped there would be no kids, but my worst fears were confirmed when I heard a kid the first night screaming the place down!

On a separate rant, I am sick of the moronic parents that block my estate every morning as they drop their little darlings off at school. Sadly, there is a laneway leading to the grounds of one school, with a further three just across the road from it. This morning was one of the worst, due to the fact that people were trying to get down the road in their cars, while others were trying to get up. Nobody was willing to move. Cue the sound of car horns from me and a couple of other disgruntled residents.

These arseholes do not even pay to park, even though there is a parking machine and parking restriction signs (which had been tampered with at some point). There was once a traffic warden, but never came up during the school rush. I wonder why! The residents were almost successful once in getting the gate in the laneway closed until a non-resident bint intervened and got her own way. Even the Gardaí had to be called once, due to a protest between residents and the parents.

It really gets my blood boiling when I get held up due to the selfishness of these people, as they always seem to travel up the road in convoy, while another convoy try to head down the road, but neither side can get through easily, due to more morons blocked either side of the road. I'll stop there. . .

Finding out my brothers idea of going away for "a few days" is a 14 day holiday to New York.

This annoys me for many reasons
- he left me with a rake of responsibility
- he didn't even mention it
- had I known he was going to the USA I could have given him a shopping list

I feel like wringing his neck and burning down the house

Disposable Nappy was mixed in with the washing. Washing machine & clothes covered in those gel bits. Very very TA.

The ****ing ASSHOLE sitting next to me on the train is chawing on an apple so hard it's giving me shivers. It's like one of those never ending apples, he seems to be at it for ages unless he had two. Chaw chaw chaw. Good lord. He sounds like a horse trying to eat a turnip through a letterbox. Why, why, why?

I wouldn't pride myself on my intelligence but even I know how INCONSIDERATE AND RUDE AND ANNOYING that might be to other passengers

That scummy ring of yogurt you get when you take the lid off a yogurt....my other half eats it no problem while I stir furiously to mix it in.
Bleurgh.

Opening the wheelie bin to put another bag in; I always have to hold my breath/hope no flies make a pounce on me.

Bin companies not coming to collect the bins.
Last week I left my brown bin out the NIGHT BEFORE as my bin company starts collecting from 6am.

The next day I headed out and returned home at 5pm...bin hadn't been collected, but as they usually work til 8pm, thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

8pm came and went and I got onto the company the next morning who said they'd be back in a few days for the bin.
They didn't come out.

I HATE the sound of other people eating apples. I can hardly tolerate the sounds I make! Which is a pity as I like apples.

I had that problem last Sunday, trying to find somewhere open for breakfast.
Tried everywhere, and because I was at a loose end, I was actually driving all around the city..nowhere open.
No shops, nobody around...twas like a ghost-town!

Most of Dublin is off work today from the looks of things. My train and luas was empty this morning, you could sit anywhere you want. It felt like the start of 28 Days Later going to work.

Watching someone make you a cuppa (after kindly offering), but you're too polite to tell them to do it the way you like it....

'AARGGHHH, you're putting milk in when the teabag is still there??!
