    Realising you haven't brought any towels into the bathroom with you, after you get out of the shower :(

    Or you need to have a shower and you've just done a towel wash so you put a towel on the heater and it's still not dry when you gets out of the shower. *wails*

    And when you do the "towel on rad" thing the landlord blames you for all the damp in the house/flat/apartment, no not me, I was reading another thread, and landlord was doing that to tenants who were coming to end of lease..

    Why are rugby club bathrooms always so manky? I need a shower :(. I think I can actually FEEL the germs. At least I got the one toilet that has a seat. A cracked seat, but a seat nonetheless.

    Planning a holiday.
    I'm normally used to my parents doing all the awkward bits but at the age of 26, it's high time I tried to book a holiday myself.
    Shouldn't be too hard, right?
    Oh,dear lord I was wrong.
    Too many travel sites to choose from, little clarity on insurance and hidden fees, too many pricing variables, sales being on when I haven't yet gotten the money together out of the CU.
    Urgh. It's head-melting stuff!
    Then, as I mentioned in the Cries of Relatives thread, since I can't go all on my own due to several mitigating factors, my aunt (my chaperone and travel buddy) is dragging her feet in regards to renewing her passport and despite conversations to the contuary, appears to have no interest in going on holidays with me.
    I can't go anywhere without her as I am ill-equipped to deal with the admin side of things and it's driving me bananas.
    I want to scream and run to a travel broker- an actual human person who can be helpful and unscramble my head- and get this whole issue dealt with in a comprehensive, coherrant manner. Urghhhh....

    I've found its muuuuuch easier to just book flights and hotel/hostel separately, no travel sites involved.
    Anyway, hope it works out and ye get away!

    Not even half nine and I've already had the neandertal barking at me about his wife's ligaments. Guess what? I don't f.ucking care! He only asks how my weekend was so he can tell me about his. Every f.ucking Monday it's something about the wife's leg or the kid's communion or the mobile home in Cairn Beach or the meal they had in Joels or some other predictable tripe. :rolleyes: I'll bate him one of these day!

    Likewise people who feel obliged to comment on the weather every day. "Sheets of rain here today" "a gale blowing here" "frost and a clear sky today". Yes we know. There's weather here too. Yes, we saw/heard the forecast too. Yes, that's the weather we get here OK.

    Ooooh it's bitter cold this morning isn't it? Mmmm mmmm yes....that's the thing. Oh sure it's the month of all seasons. Yes...to be good later I think. Ah sure we can't complain sure it's been a mild winter. Yes yes.... not too bad now once the rain holds off then it's not t - BANG. BANG!!!!!:pac:

    People on TV quiz shows who haven't a clue about anything. Why bring such embarrassment on yourself?

    It is my opinion that stupid people, like mad people, do not actually realise how stupid/mad they are. Their own stupidity/insanity prevents them from being so enlightened.
    I hate that, being spoken to like an insolent child. I'm an adult goddddddamnit

    Whsht now young girl and listen to your elders :D

    Trying to find the energy to get up and face the week after an entire weekend of college :( The bed was so warm and the thoughts of getting up, taking off warm pyjamas and showering then being cold and wet made me feel sick. Why do we do it? Sick in the head. The week should start on Tuesday!

    TA I watched Charlie last and stupidly I watched a scene about eating a bird. My TA is I can't get this disgusting scene out of head and it's making feel nauseous everytime I think about it.

    It really annoys me when a band at a wedding or wherever are covering well known songs, and yet sing the words wrong:(

    Another TA, I have been convinced for years that my hearing is not as good as it was. I'm always having to get people to repeat themselves , and if I'm in a noisy environment , I won't hear what people are saying. My Dad was deaf in one ear for ages before he died, his Dad was stone deaf for as long as I knew him. Yet when I get the hearing check, I have perfect hearing, WTF?? Next time I get my hearing checked I'm going to let on I can't hear a single beep, and get me some big ass hearing aids :(

    Fashion/beauty bloggers (Irish in this case) who have clearly had enhancement surgery recently and yet deny any queries regarding it. Hardly a good example to young female followers to pretend that you will suddenly look better overnight almost but by doing nothing at all. Just hate all the fakery. Own up and don't be giving others false hope. Rant over!

    Me and Mrs. Bap went over to Edinburgh, travelling back early yesterday morning. I was all set to check-out of the hotel, blaze accross the road from the hotel to the local Doughnut establishment, grab a bunch of doughnuts and coffee, get to the Tram line and on to the airport. Sounds easy.

    On check-out, the reception guy was getting way too friendly with me. I'm normally not put off by this, but at 6.45 in the morning I'm just not ready for inuendo rich talk. So just got blunt and left.

    Doughnut place accross was calling me and got walking enthusiastically. Mrs. Bap was the same. It was after about 2 seconds when we realised the ground was like a skating rink. So we both walked like baby Bambi accross the street, took alot longer than it should have. Then the auto sliding doors didnt open. There was loads of staff walking around, lights were on, doughnuts visible.....but they werent open for another 10 minutes. Our tram was in 9 and we still had to get to the tram stop in the ice. So then cue us sliding to the tram station while trying to roll cigarettes in the freezing cold with no warm coffee and the 64 doghnuts I had estimated I could eat.

    Many a TA in that 15 minute spell.

    Getting stuck behind idiot drivers who don't know how a roundabout works.

    WHAT ARE YOU YIELDING TO!? THERE'S NO TRAFFIC! WHY ARE YOU STILL STOPPED?

    Of course they then moved off when there was traffic coming towards them - nearly causing a crash and leaving me stuck waiting for traffic to clear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭redfacedbear

    Was thinking the very same Friday when the very same happened. No cars on the roundabout and the car in front is stopped. Cue swearing and head shaking from me. Just as cars enter and have preference this complete dunce starts to inch out into the middle making the oncoming cars brake.

    A very TA but an annoyance nonetheless. Received text from phone network reminding me that I was near the end of my monthly data allowance. Looked up my bill and phone usage on their app, I'm nowhere near the end of my data allowance. The billing period ends in a couple of days and unless I was going to constantly download apps or watch videos between now and then, there is no way I will be anywhere near the end of my data allowance. Plus my bill is the same amount it has always been, no extra charges, nothing. It was a complete waste of time for them to text me that I am near the end of my data allowance when I'm nowhere near it! Rant over *sighs* :D

    This!!!!! It does my head in !
    That and people who don't indicate whatsoever on a roundabout, so you have to be cautious in case they are passing your exit. Then the dipsh*ts take the one before it, and you could have been gone. Then there is stream of traffic that you have to yield to, all because of some ignoramus who hasn't the manners to indicate .

    I record all the programmes during the week to watch on a Sunday afternoon. It's the only day of the week I watch tv. Imagine my disgust when yesterday I went to watch my weeks worth of soaps and NOT ONE THING had recorded.

    The oh wasn't here all week either so I can't even blame him for it. **** sky.

    The actress playing Terry Keane is no beauty, but twenty times better looking than Terry Keane, she was an awful hatchet altogether, I don't know what he saw in her. Then again, Haughey was no hunk either I suppose.
