This is why I bring a veggie curry for myself when I have dinner with my parents. Every fecking thing is cooked in meat juices I don't put animal fats on my roast potatoes, and believe me I make incredible roast potatoes, fluffy on the inside, crispy and golden on the outside.:)

Getting ided last night. Twice. Once going into the nightclub, I handed in my ancient age card and the young bouncer said "jaysus" I assume because I was so old. Then I got ided again going into the casino after the nightclub. Then my best friend laughing today. "You got id'd. And you're 26. And the place was full of 16 year olds. Oh god haha you were ten years older than most of them". Not funny!

Woshy

I got ided in the supermarket a while back. I was doing the weekly shop and bought a bottle of wine. I'm 30!!! I laughed and told her my age and then pointed out my husband and toddler coming up to the till And she said oh right, you're grand so. I don't know what she was on tbh

They're not hilarious, just merely TA because it reminds us how old we actually are.

Only getting in the bed now, after watching 15 hours of telly today. 2 films and 8 episodes of Luther, and a few bits in between.
Why didn't I go to bed earlier? I'll be like a dog in the morn.

Hair that can't decide which side of one's head it wants to be on. There are always one or two f.uckers on the fence.

My brother yesterday, knocked on my bedroom door and handed me my mobile and said, "it's X for you" - why? Why would someone answer my phone for me, talk to the person on the other end and then say, "yeah I'll get her for you"? I can understand doing this with a landline but not a mobile. The whole point is to be able to leave it elsewhere if you don't want to be bothered. If you see a missed call, you know who it was and you can return the call at your leisure. But what he did was answer my phone, tell X I was there and free to talk and put me in a position where I had to take the call.

Thought of Boards every time I showered since last posting here, that's another TA

Also, "did you do anything for new years?" - and it's only 09:17

That silly advertisement where yer wan says she's pregnant and her fella is like, "Oh cool! (Some baby shop) has a sale on now!" -

People saying that they have bad eyesight when they don't. My mother for example. Perfect vision all her life. I did not inherit those genes. I have the type of myopia which means I pretty much don't see the bus until I've walked in front of it. Started deteriorating at around 11 years and am now minus 6. Plus astigmatism to go with it! I mean, it's fine now with glasses and contact lenses but my mother, who has now begun experiencing (and might I add age appropriate) macular hardening so her sigh is not quite what it used to be, thinks we are somehow on a par now. She might have to put glasses on to peel carrots or do a crossword. This, in my opinion, is nowhere near what I have had my entire life which is pretty much just colours and shapes unless I have corrective lenses in. She'll say things like, "yeah I know now what it is like" and I'm looking at her thinking actually you have no clue. How does one explain severe myopia to someone who doesn't have it? It's like being really drunk? It's as if someone has taken a watery brush to the painting and blurred everything?

My brother. The f.ucking trivial annoyance of my life. Although the "trivial" refers to how much he means to me as opposed to the level of annoyance. He is a complete spastic fool with no social skills and a shíthead of mammoth proportion. Except....when someone comes to visit or he is out. The classid "street angel/house devil" = treats me and mum like shít, but is nicey nicey to outsiders. Actually, it is not this aspect of him that annoys me, it's more subtle than that. If he was just a shíthead with us and a charmer with everyone else, I'd figure ah sure there are plenty like that. But what gets me is he doesn't have enough brain power to pull off charming properly. It's like his pea sized intellect doesn't quite get him over the line. Yesterday, mam and my aunt were talking about some tv personality who has really aged. Normally my brother would not take part in the conversation if it doesnt involve him or cars and trucks and stuff :rolleyes: But he was applying himself as much as he could presumably because he wanted to impress my aunt, and so he nodded along and made a few mmms and aaahs and then, in his best sage voice, came out with, "71? yeah.... He doesn't look it mind" as he shook his head. What? We just said he has aged terribly! Of course he f.ucking looks it, that's the point!

He does shít like this all the time and it seems I am the only one who actually notices? Well, Dad is deaf and Mam is in love with hiim in a creepy, protective way that only Irish mothers seem to be capable of...

And then later at the dinner table (and remember he is 35)....he comes out with (I cringe)


...



"You're my favourite aunty". He should be taken out and shot. The village f.ucking idiot

It annoys me when people who constantly say 'sorry' about stupid things. It seems to an Irish thing.

- someone almost walks in to you on the street "ooh sorry..."
- on a plane, train or bus and someone who is sitting by the window seat and needs to squeeze past you on the aisle "sorry, can I get in there? thanks.. sorry sorry.. thanks" FFS
- walking through a door in a hallway or shop and the person letting you pass or coming through the door says sorry.. wtf!


I also find the use of the word 'cheers' instead of 'thanks' irritating.

Haha, if you were from a country where nobody says please, sorry or thank you I'm pretty sure you would appreciate that!! I think it's one of the best things about the Irish!! It's the opposite thing that annoys me. I hate when someone nearly bumps into you and you're actually the one that has to say sorry or when people stand talking in the middle of the street blocking your path and still can't say sorry cause they think they own the street!! It's funny cause I've realised that since I live in Ireland I've gone from saying 'sorry' in these cases just once (if even) to saying 'sorry sorry sorry'

I'm only 24, but I look it. Was ID'd in my local shop on a Friday night a few weeks ago. Didn't actually understand the question because it had been so long. Your one behind the counter goes then "Can't be too careful, maybe if it was a Saturday night..."

So the time of day dictates if you play fast and loose with the law? An unusual interaction to say the least.

Reading this reminded me of something that happened to me last night, trivially annoying for other people though, temporarily embarrassing for me -

Coming out of a shopping centre last night and my friend had stopped in front of the door to let me out on the way in, so I'm coming out, silver car parked across the way, I opened the passenger door and hopped in. We weren't moving so I said "Are we parking here for the night?"

"I think you have the wrong car" says the driver, who was not my friend :pac:

Happened to me a couple of times in the past, how I haven't had the head dug off me I don't know, I'd freak out if some stranger casually hopped into my car and sat there waiting for me to drive on

Note to self. Always lock car doors when waiting outside supermarkets in case a fellow boardsie jumps in. Imagine two trivially annoyed people in the same vicinity? What a dangerous, entropic event that would be. Especially in a closed system like a car

We've all encountered the type of moron who spend their evenings driving around in one of their ma's nissan micras roaring things out of the window at people walking along as they drive past. They make Beavis and Butthead look that academics. More than anything I feel pity for them rather than trivial annoyance towards them.

However what does make me trivially annoyed is when they pass you and roar something but you have your headphones in so can't hear them, but they don't know this and think they've startled you, when in fact you might possibly have just heard a feint yelp as they past as the song entered a quieter part!!!

I do too, but they usually ruin it. I have one of those really old age cards, the ones from 2006 before they got the new ones. They ask you and make you feel young and then deliver the blow. Like the time I got id'd in dunnes. The cashier was American or Canadian, asked to see my Id. I took out my age card. She said sorry, we only accept age cards and passports as forms of Id. I point out it is an age card. She goes off to speak to someone else, they tell her it's the old one. She comes back, tells me she hasn't seen that one before and that I have a baby face.

Then again in tesco, ided again, delighted, show the Id. Girl tells me I'm older than her and don't look it. FUUUUUUCK YOU!!!!

Although NYE in the bathroom, some girl told me I looked about 19. Beer Goggle strength - Strong.

Similar but when you're waiting to cross the street and a group of lads in a car are the ones who stop and beckon you across, only for them to sound the horn, whistle, and roar obsense things out the window.

I know the whole onesies as a TA was had the other day, but it's my TA the last couple of days. A "man" I know has been posting photos of himself in a onesie on FB. What self respecting man would wear one of those atrocities, even as a joke?? He looks like a big f**king overgrown baby. Worst of all is all his hangers on complimenting him, and egging him on. What self respecting wife would actually encourage her husband to wear one of these , actually take photos of him, and allow him to make it public on Facebook?That's grounds for divorce! I'm sorry but onesies wearers need to be rounded up and shot. I really hope he is bursting for a sh*t , and the zip gets stuck. Rant over....and breathe ......

A friend and his daughter are staying with us for a few days. We got us some Domino's last night, on ordering I asked him if he wanted anything, he just said he's not that hungry and would have one slice.
Grand said I, ordered one of the deals that had a large pizza and 3 sides.

Grub arrives and he starts tucking in to all the sides, there was plenty to go around so not that worried. The pizza got unveiled and he started horsing into it.

Now, here is the massive TA. With Domino's they generally only give one dip for the crusts of the pizza. This guy holds the dip in his hands and dips the slice into the dip at every bite. M*therf*cker was quadruple dipping, even quintuple dipping. D*ck all dip for me.

Then there was one slice left in the box, Mrs Bap gave me the nod indicating that it was mine. As I started to reach for it, this pr*ck starts to reach as well. The dude that wanted 1/one/single slice. He tore the top off the slice and gave the rest to me and used the last bit of dip.

If he just had of said he wanted some pizza I would have just gotten another one for him, and that would have been another dip as well. Cheap bast*rd just didn't want to pay for pizza. Little did he know that I would have just bought him one.

I genuinely would have told him to f*ck off. Nobody f*cks with my food. You must be a patient man.

In fact, even when people give me that "I'll only have one slice" crack I usually order them a personal pizza, because it inevitably leads to them eating my dinner otherwise.

And the worst thing about eating pizza is that you don't have a fork nearby to stab them in their hands

Under normal conditions I would but the guy is having some issues at the moment and adding in my food rage might be the thing to tip him over the edge.

Another TA is that I was going for a run yesterday. When I go out to run, it's to listen to some music, get some air, get away from the kids, try beat some of my goals. He decided to come along and I came back more annoyed than when I left. No music, too much talking, not having my own pace, no metrics on my run. In the end he was alot happier so I guess some good came out of it, but my own personal selfish self was TA'd.

Father-in-law update: today we went out shopping and to a nice restaurant for lunch. He forgot to put his shoes on before leaving the house so spent the (very cold) day walking around in fleecey slippers, including in the restaurant. I was annoyed than bemused. I always said I don't know how he dresses himself in morning and now I know he can't!

... And before anyone thinks he's elderly and therefore understandable and I'm being a bitch I should point out the man is not even sixty yet!
