Mean people. I'm friends with this couple who give each other really extravagant gifts, (ps4, games, clothes, runners, new phone for him. iPad jewellery ect for her) but they're real vulgar about it, dropping the price of everything into conversation. They asked me what my oh got me and then turned around and asked me how much he spent on me. This grinds my gears because my best Christmas present ever was from santa - a pair of roller blades, and as an adult it was a lot of my favourite things (fluffy socks, pjs, sweets, perfume, an IOU cuddle night) all together, it's not about how much it cost it's about the thought that went into it and knowing me well enough to know cow pjs and matching slippers would make me delighted, or knowing I loved Minnie mouse more than tinkerbell.

Not these though. Anyway - they got me a present so obviously I'm going to get them one back. I knew what I wanted to get them, I was going to spend about 30 each. And I knew they'd like it. So in passing I mentioned to him I would be getting their presents that weekend when I got a chance, and he turned around and told me "yours cost 25 so don't go too mad". I was raging he turned around and told me how much he spent on it so I was like feck that, and got him a money box that counts the coins as you put it in and I got her a pair of pjs. No thought whatsoever, I just didn't want to go over this "limit".

The day before xmas eve, he text me to tell me how disgusted he was with another friend of his, they'd spent 65 euro on this couple and their two kids and all they got was a box of chocolates.

Now I gave them their presents last night but neither of them said thanks so I'm pretty sure they think I'm a cheapskate now as well and that's bothering me like nobody's business, because I'm not a cheapskate at all.

Way to ruin present giving. I think I'm going to say it to them.

moneybox is the best thing to get them:pac::pac:

they sound awlful shower of cnuts cutting the back off othere not spending as much money as them (children are not cheap to buy for AFAIK)

i wouldn't bother getting them anything..they just wicked annoying and ungrateful

Sure isn't that the way this country has gone anyway starting at the top, Someone or something comes to the country and the first thing that is said is how much it is worth financially, even when the Queen of U.K came, she hadn't even left the Country and they were at it, no decency and it more than T.A's me.

Close this account and start a new one. It's the only logical thing to do.

Further update on the trivial annoyances caused by my father in law. Today he wore socks and sandals, outside, in the freezing sleet.

I don't know why it annoys me as much as it does!

People who post on Facebook, instagram, Twitter or snap chat what they go for X mess. Then going to the effort of making sure you got the perfect photo by lining everything up perfect by size and hight.

I don't care what you got and i won't be showing off what i got as there is no need to it at all.

The rotten little short arse bollix of an old man who told me to **** off in work today when I refused him a refund. No receipt and no packaging mean it's not in resaleable condition and no you aren't "entitled" to anything you ignorant cnut

fussyonion

People who KNOW they're gorgeous and put up selfies of themselves in their best poses and then acting all modest when they get tons of compliments.

There's a girl on my Facebook friends list who is really beautiful but she fcuking knows it and is ALWAYS posting selfies of herself...then acts all surprised when she gets compliments from men and women alike.

What's even worse when vulgar looking yokes think they're gorgeous and put up selfies in seductive poses.

going out...not drinking...


following morning....being just completely wreaked

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Not going out drinking and getting woken up at seven minutes past three by your best friend drunk dialling you.
Then getting woken again at sometime after 4, by a drunken wreck of an OH.
Then being up at 6 to get ready for work.

Merry Christmas is right.

the most detestable! and then they tell exactly the same stories over and over, to people who've already heard them 30 times. YES I KNOW I WAS LITTLE AND DID THINGS BABIES DO.

Seasonal TA - how my stomach seems to turn into a bottomless pit every Christmas. No matter how much food I stuff down there, I still feel hungry! It must be because there's just SO much food here. And there's always somebody passing some num nums around.

The only solution to this is counter-farting. Giving them a taste of their own medicine usually sorts them out.

Well done for getting up! It's awful, the amount of crap around. I wish I could just say no! Said yes to a turkey sandwich at 2 this morning. Why?!?!

When I post a picture to Instagram, and it automatically recommends filters. I don't need filters, I'm fabulous. And filters wreck photos, why filter them?

Coming down the N-M7 today the amount of cars not using indicators why bother put them on cars now,
And the Quashqui (?) that pulled from left lane right out in front of a little car into the right lane in front of me made him hit the breaks, made me break, an no indicator and you wouldn't fit a gnats ass into the space that was there, Ba**ard,
and the ones who drive the whole way in the right land regardless, then dive like a Stuka across the 2 or 3 lanes to take the exit over on the left side , GRRRRRRR!

Can't. Stop. Eatinnnnnggg:( . I actually think I need a hose pipe down my throat to flush me through. I had all good intentions of going back to the porridge this morning, but there were sausages etc winking at me. Ordered in Chinese for dinner because I'm utterly sick of cooking. I feel like a big , fat greasy lump of everything unhealthy.

Disgusting bringing someone into our home, and clearly have a rampant cocaine problem, and then they blow their nose and blood splatters all over the bathroom mirror the sink and a big bloody booger on the sink. Filthy animal. That's not the first time I've had to clean up blood after him and I do not want him or his snots in my house. I'm livid.

It TA's me that I thank posts at times, and the thanks never materialize.

l am really hoping that people in Carlow take the warnings regarding the factory fire seriously. Watching a loved one die from exposure to asbestos is truly horrible. I f**king hate the mention of the word asbestos.

riclad

i look at tv listings online,
bbc.rte, etc
IT Seems theres always spoilers for drama,s ,
eg they descibe the whole plot,
any major event that happened .
People who write tv guides online do not seem to understand the concept of spoilers.
I don,t mind it for old programs but the first time a program is shown on tv ,
its annoying.
TO know in advance , say who is the guilty person in a whodunnit
seems pointless.
Say someone dies in a soap opera its in the paper a week before the show is broadcast .

berniepixie

people constantly borrowing stuff and not giving it back , uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Seriously are indicators even mandatory, or just a novelty for some???

Iced Caramels sweets - not sure who makes them but they made me puke when I was 7 and yet they're still in my face at Christmas.

People who leave their gear all over the place in the gym to make it look like they've commandeered half the equipment.

Snapchat.

Shít mayonnaise.

Quite frankly, Lexie, thats the time when you tell someone to get the fcuk out! And start to give serious consideration to who you allow in to your house.

E, I might as well be banging my head off a wall. Told and told and told time and time again, not to be bringing that kind of carry on into our house. Yet - here we are. He's a "good friend". A good friend with clearly no respect.

You know what they say, "you can tell a person by the company they keep".

Anyone whose nose is blowing gushers all over someone else's bathroom sink and then doesn't have the decency to clean that up(:eek:)due to over consumption of Bolivian marching powder and is then defended by your partner is in essence saying "Well, he's a mate of mine and regardless of what YOU say about it in OUR home, I AM saying he is welcome here and you cant do jack about it"

IMO, someone else needs marching.

Tell me about it

I've come down to make the kids brekkie, while making it I've eaten 2 mince pies, 3 chocolate chip cookies and a handful of celebrations........wait, I've just realised this is not a TA at all. It's awesome.
