Badly trained unsupervised temp staff. I was in Easons today and did the Euromillions and bought a magazine. I gave the lad a couple of tickets to check and paid for my stuff. I gave him a 20 euro note and when I was putting the stuff in my bag after I'd been served I noticed a receipt for a 3 euro scratch card that I'd won on a previous draw. I started to queue to tell him that he hadn't given me the scratch card, anyways, as I was queuing I worked out that instead of giving me the scratch card he'd instead deducted 3 euro from the cost of my purchase, without asking me

I just couldn't be arsed to go through the rigmarole again so I left.:mad:

Alternating between being aggravated by how busy it has been today;

'It's still the holidays - why are you all here? Could it not wait till Monday?'

and aggravated because some people are still in holiday mode;

'What do mean the canteen has closed early? I need my 3pm coffee!'
'No, I can't do the phones so that you can go early - and wtf do you think you are doing trying to arrange this 3 minutes before you 'have to' leave? You could have sorted this out hours ago if it was that important.'

Nobody's looking for consistency here, right?

Having a big family dinner today, the OHs family - not mine. Where is he all day? Not helping is what. Cooking most of the day, worn out and he isn't even home. I'd happily wring his neck

This drives me mad! Especially when I am pulling out of a space and there is some stupid f.ucker making it more difficult because they have pulled in from the wrong side and are sitting there like gombeens. But you know...."it's the learners that cause all the accidents" :rolleyes:

Send him a text and tell him if he doesn't help out he will be on the menu.

When finished dinner, tap your glass with a knife, say you have an announcement.

Stand and Clear throat.

"My darling OH, We are finished"



long pause

I arrived 40 minutes early for my train this morning. I didn't realise I'd be that early. I usually get a 6:20 train to work. Apparently today's timetables are running on Saturday times so the first train was 6:58. I stood there with about 10 other people who hadn't known it either.

It's the second of January. Even though a lot of people might have taken the extra day's holiday surely most businesses are open again today?

It's ridiculous how much we drag out the Christmas holidays in this country!

Are we allowed to name people in this thread? For example, a daughter of a celebrity? Better not. A defamation offence would not look good on my record

Was in a very well known, pretentious, uppity, overpriced coffee and alcohol establishment on Dublin's "affluent" southside which may be named after a French river a number of years back and there's an orange tinted, peroxide buffoon at the bar, shouting, "has anyone seen my Dad , (insert his name) You know my DAD (INSERT HIS NAME) Has anyone seen him?" - her dad was no more likely to be found there than f.ucking Elvis but she clearly wanted everyone to know who her dad was. I get trivially infuriated every time I think about this. I just can't build a bridge.

Surely friday 2nd would come out of the 2015 leave anyway. I'm pretty sure she can't just do that with no notice anyway

She told her 3weeks before, In a verbal memo,
"Sure whats the point in opening on the Friday, there'll be f***ing no one around anyway".
But didn't mention that the days pay would be deducted. She'll be finding out on Monday what way it's going to go, she has a copy of her contract for her hours etc, and I am not looking forward a the phone call if it's an early morning one...It may mean an owner doesn't have a manager. :eek:

It's contrived rubbish, more to do with whoever has the biggest sob story than wanting to lose weight :mad:

People who post threads with, "I have a friend who was in an accident/has a problem at work/got a speeding ticket" etc, etc.

If these are, in fact, friends and not just a "cunning" plan of the poster's, why don't the morons just post up their own question?

Because it's really the poster and not their friend Think about it if you got a speeding ticket would you ask your friend to post it on boards to see what others think

Rude people.
In my local shop, the staff are generally lovely, apart from one woman who is borderline rude, but not in a way that you could pinpoint.
I'm always polite and friendly regardless, but tonight she acted as if I'd tried to pass a counterfeit note, or something.
I think she copped that I was less than impressed though, so she made a bit of an effort. I've one nerve left and she is standing on it....

I hate customers who throw their money on the counter instead of handing it to you, so bloody rude! These days I hold my hand out until they pick it up and give it to me, ignorant ****ers!!

When I worked in retail, people approaching the counter on their phones did my head in. It got to the stage where I wouldn't start their order until they got off their phone. So rude

The realisation that Christmas is over , no more beer and nice food and much more walking / Gym

Also getting an itch on the sole of my foot and having to rub it on the side of my bed as I think it's horrible scratching it.

I hate when people say "how are you" instead of "hi". I know darn well they could care less how I am. I'd love to come up with a pithy response that does not reveal how I am because as I said, they don't care.

Waiting for holidays annoys me.

CrowdedHouse

Companies that don't 'get' the internet, if you have a 'Contact Us' page and or give out your email address I don't think it's unreasonable to get a reply to a query. ( I am allowing for the fact that it's holiday time)

This is for a fairly specialised and expensive piece of electronics, I'd be very surprised if there's a market for 10 of them in a year in Ireland so if you have one in stock you might try to sell it

People who get offended by something minor in a comment and derail things to focus on that one thing that's totally irrelevent to the discussion because they want a fcuking pat on the back from other people. Attention seeking thanks whores.(Not boards that I'm referring to).

Not trivial, at all. But I need to rant. I posted already about my beautiful puppy injuring his eye, two weeks ago (neighbours starving dog fought him for food) Brought him to the vet, he was given injection and drops which I had to apply twice a day. It was still sore but much better. Now when I get in from work in the evening, the first thing I do is take off my coat, second is give my boys (the dogs) kisses and say hello to them. Kissed the oldest dog, and then went to kiss my puppy. But his eye was firmly shut. I washed it but he didn't want to open it, so I rang the out of hours vet.
Explained I was worried and that my other dog had a bite wound on his leg. Vet said to bring both of them in.

Puppy - has an ulcer on his eye. He was bitten AGAIN on his actual eye. His eye is turned down and he might not have any sight in it.
Daddy dog - has an infection and damaged tendons from a bite on his leg.

110.50 euro lighter tonight and two badly injured dogs, bastards next door with a rake of dogs they never feed. I swear to god I'm so angry right now Im thinking about knocking in there and having war with them on the doorstep. The dog is so cross he stands charging at us in our own garden when I yell at him to go home. I wish harm on no dog, but I swear to god if one other thing happens to my darlings in their own garden, or if that dog ever charges me again, I'll have my brother in here with the rifle and I won't think twice about it. I love love love dogs, but not at my own dogs or my own safety.

ISPCA and dog warden are doing **** all.

Hopefully they'll be okay. OH has been banished to the spare room and both of them are going to sleep in our bed tonight, I know when I was little and sick, sleeping in my parents bed always made me feel a little better. I'll take Tuesday and Wednesday off work too because puppy needs intense attention and I won't trust anyone else to do it right. Just so inconvenient. Why have pets and not feed them? Ugh

I hoped to get up reasonably early on Sunday because I've a few things to do and don't want to waste half a day sleeping. And now I'm lying wide awake in bed. I CAN'T SLEEP :mad:
So I'll either get up early as planned but cranky because it's more likely that I'll be tired. Or I'll sleep until I'll wake up. Cranky because I've wasted half a day.
