The snow in 2010! it started snowing in November and of course I still wore shoes I couldn't walk in. That night the roads were so bad the taxis wouldnt drive them and I ended up walking home, in snow, inappropriately dressed, carrying stilettos and wearing flipflops.

That's not a problem with bad weather, Lexie, just bad clothing.

Does anyone know what this bae thing means? My best friend texts me every night saying "night bae" I thought for ages she meant babe but apparently it's a thing now.

bae is what Jay-Z calls his wife Beyonce. People have started to use that term to describe wife material or a significant other.
Your best friend is calling you his/her girlfriend/wife.

A spammer from India who just called about a problem with Microsoft and had the audacity to complain and swear when he realised I had been stringing him along for 15 minutes. Tough luck sunshine! Lowlife gangsters!

Send one page job to printer. Go to collect it. See that there's a paper jam. Remove paper jam. Printer recommences printing an entire sales manual.

Keep an eye on your print jobs, assholes :mad:

Nice Srameen. They kept calling out of use extensions in work and I got so fed up I hung up without saying a word.

First he said he was calling about windows so I asked for a quote to replace 2 aluminium ones. He then said no it was Microsoft and to turn on the computer. I pretended to and apologised that it takes a long time to boot up. I then couldn't find any of the buttons he wanted pressed.
I then "logged out" by mistake and had to start again. Eventually I asked if he really wanted to waste any more of his or my time on this scam. He insisted it was no scam so I said OK I can play along for longer. Then he lost the rag. Priceless.

When you're filling a bottle full of water from the tap but are too slow to take the bottle away when it's full so it ends up shooting out and spraying all over my face. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Parents going away soon and there will be a couple of days crossover before the OH returns so I'll be all on my own No college at the weekend and I'm quite looking forward to stocking up on wine, movies, coal etc and having some down time.

Mam calls me:

"Er, your father and I are just doing up a list of things here to get before we go. Is there anything you want?"

"No Mam, I wont be handing up my keep so I'll buy whatever I need myself"

"Oh right, well we're going anyway so let me know"

"Ok. Out of interest, what's on the list?"

"Well we've to get a new battery for the smoke alarm...and a new carbon monoxide alarm"

"Er...we don't have any gas appliances?"

"well you can't be too careful you know. Now, we're going to get in 15 bales of briquettes and 5 bags of coal in case the heating runs out. And your father wants to get a bolt for you to put on the inside of your bedroom door in case anyone breaks in when you're here by yourself. We're going to get a fire extinguisher too and a small ladder to leave by the window in case of fire"

"I'm 5ft9 and we live in a bungalow"

"You can't be too careful love. Now, we've someone coming in to check the electrics on the alarm and the sensor lights outside are back working again. Your father had the brakes on the car tested too and we've stocked up on candles in case the electricity goes. The neighbours are on speed dial in case of emergency too"

26D - that parents getting preferential treatment bull**** grates on my last nerve too. If you have a job, concentrate on the job. If you want to be at home, stay at home. Obviously if a child gets sick or something like that, it can't be helped but this bull**** of being late for work because you wanted to make sure your 12 year old got on the schoolbus, wanting all weekends/bank holidays off just because you've kids and the other women don't, bull****.

Actually that reminds me I left out part of my rant. These parents getting the preferential treatment are the same ones who come in late all the time. It's fooking ridiculous.

One of them said "time to start popping out the babies so". Oh yes, proper entitlement to my annual leave is a great reason to bring a child into the world.

I could never get how doctors appointments for their kids, or themselves, were always during working hours while I always was able to go to the doctor, dentist etc on my own time.

My poor boyfriend! It seems I can't kiss him standing up without stepping on his toes. Almost every time! His feet are massive so I should be able to avoid them. One of his toenails is all black and bruised because I keep stepping on it. Why oh why am I so clumsy and how oh how does he put up with me?! I better get him some steel toe capped boots.

Just watching a doc on Irish golfers on Setanta, and there were multiple shots of our players posing with the Ivory Coast flag.

So that's my trivial annoyance...our flag being held up backwards!

The cold weather, and just January weather in general. I know it's nauseatingly annoying to talk about the weather but this is just taking the proverbial. Spent all last night dealing with weather related problems. Got stuck on the hill going home and had to get pushed. Then over to the neighbours to make sure their dog was ok. Extra blankets, extra duvet, a pillow, extra food. Even her water bucket was iced over * Then had to make sure the cats all had hot water bottles in their beds. 6 hot water bottles lined up on the counter waiting to be filled :pac: Extra duvets for them too. Heat lamp for mom and the remaining two kittens. Make sure the two elderly cats were in at the fire. Make sure "half cat", our adopted feral was coaxed inside. There was also a poor dog running loose on the road on the way up. How could anyone leave an animal out in that? He was running in front of us and I was screeching at my dad, "slow down you're going to hit him" and my Dad shuting back, "I can't slow down we'll skid!" He ran off up the mountain. I went after him but by the time I got boots, hat, torch etc he was gone I left a bed in the shed and a bowl of food out. Hope he had the sense to come back. We're pretty much the last house. If he kept going.... I don't know if he would have survived

So, two TA's really:

1. Bástards who dump their poor, defenceless animals in the mountain because they think they might have some sort of happy life up there chasing rabbits and rolling in meadows
2. Cold f.ucking weather

*still debating if I should report them

This country and its inability to deal with anything. Too windy? Disaster. Torrential rain? Disaster. Too hot? People complaining they have third degree burns. Bit of snow? Whole place descends into chaos. I'm standing here since 7:30 and not one train has bothered to show up. Not one.
