Two hours of a bunged nose, it's like concrete has set in there..........then it starts running like a fcuking river, and one gob****e remarks "I think I got your cold,,"But you dont have a cold?" They reply with "Ah yeah, but you know..."

No, I DON'T KNOW!!, What in christ's name are you on about??? (In my head)

People coming over to me to tell me they are dying (NWS the TA that they are not in fact, dying) - why are you breathing on me then?!!!!

People walking up and down the street smoking, it really bothers me seeing people in crowds with a cigarette stuck in their mouth. And I think it looks super scummy.

Work being like a morgue. I hate office festivities done to excess, but this is the other extreme! It doesn't feel like Christmas. Thank fcek I'm off for the next two weeks.

Thank God, I thought I was the only scrooge around. Ive been thinking same thing 'it dosent feel like Christmas.'

Yeah but a bit of consideration for everyone else wouldn't go amiss either, not tarring every smoker with the same brush as I'm sure it's just the minority but walking into a crowd of people blowing smoke is just ignorant. As is standing at a bus stop smoking around everyone else. Fair enough if you're there first and you light up and someone stands around you, but joining a que and lighting up? **** that.

Nope. If I DID work in a morgue, it would be more fun! And to cap it all, I've to wait until the others come back from tea break before I can go home!!

I hate this carry on outside shopping centres, puffing away right at the door blowing smoke in your face as you go in and out. Jervis Street SC at the Henry Street entrance is particularly bad for this.

Christmas shopping...and everything about it
Now I know im not great in crowds so taught today would be quieter around town...but Jesus it must have been around 80% ticks and idiots around and 20% normal

Was reversing into a space (had a van...didn't want to be reversing out) and some right **** decided to go between me and the space where there wasn't room to fit and stop there while I was clearly trying to reverse into the space and wouldn't move so I literally had to shout at him to back the **** up...nearly got the whole year without roadrage...more embarrassed with myself after it than annoyed with anyone...round two of Christmas shopping tomorrow afternoon

People wishing others merry Christmas prematurely. There's this Australian guy who works in our local off licence. He's always in there. Sunday night he wished me a merry Christmas and last night he wished me merry Christmas as well. I'm annoyed because clearly he knows he's going to see me two more times before christmas so why not just wait until Christmas Eve and wish me merry Christmas then

I think I can retire now. My work here is done.

That Let it go song from frozen. My oh sings it at me when I'm on his case about leaving windows open or whatever, and it ruined it for me. And it's practically on loop in work because everyone else likes it and it puts me in a fouler because i only hear it when I'm annoyed.

Treggings with zips around the waist. I bought a pair in dunnes for work. High waist ones. The zip keeps opening and my pants keep falling down

Anybody else lost the 'goodwill to all men' bit when it comes to shopping? At this point all bets are off in that department. I think I need to watch It's a wonderful life. I've a few bits to get in the shopping centre tomorrow morning and I'll be in and out of the place as fast as possible.

Defrosting turkey. I cook the thing on Christmas eve afternoon so it's defrosting in a covered cake thing now to keep the 4 cats away from it.

Yes. I've to battle my way to Stephen's Green at lunchtime I don't mind the crowds when I know exactly what I want. I just put on my blinkers and use a good golf umbrella to beat them all out of the way. But "browsing" at this time of year? No way

Which reminds me of another TA - there seems to have been a run on random shíte this year so that stuff I am looking for that wouldn't be a usual present anyway is unavailable. It's like the end of the world and people are just buying stuff that's left

The fact that even M&S are doing onesies for men now , is nothing sacred , they'll be in BRown THomas'swindow next, a law needs to be enacted to limit them to Pennys only.

I still have things to get. I can't relax until everything is sorted. I want to buy a suitcase for my dad, a lamb's leg for the dog, plus I feel I should buy something else for OH but I don't know what! Yaaaaaar..... Maybe I'll just go to the pub instead...

Pumpkinseeds

We bought some Christmas presents for my brother from the UK. The bad exchange rate screwed us and after all that he casually mentioned in conversation that a coffee maker he'd like was on offer in Curry's.:eek::mad: It'd have cost us half what we spent on the other things and I've never made him coffee, he always asks for tea. If I'd to make a list of 100 things to buy him a coffee maker would not have been on it. Well he'll have to buy his own coffee maker now.

I've to do some shopping this evening after work and the thoughts of it makes me want to curl up into a little ball and cry whilst rocking gently back and forth.

Why do we do it to ourselves ?, as long as you're out of my way when your lumbering around that suitcase and lambs leg or you'll get trampled , it's Everyman/ woman for themselves now , I learnt that yesterday when I was shoved forward in a checkout queue yesterday by a little old dear about 85 years old , I've got my antennae out now for them.

God, the 75 is bringing about all sorts of memories. I used to get it to/from work, and random was the only description I would use to describe when it might, MIGHT I add, appear. :mad:
