I understand that they don't want to miss work but surely their child is more important than a day docked from AL. They should at least have someone who can take care of them for the day if they're sick and not able to get the day off work.

I agree, they don't think about these things!

I completely agree.
We'll just add it to the long list of things that people don't consider :P

I'm now TA'd that I thought about annoying parents more than I wanted to today ha

There's nothing better than staying at home with your sick kids.

Sit on the couch, your kids show you affection and watch kids movies all day.

TA - You end up getting sick and have to stay at home feeling lousy wanting someone to serve your every need.

Friday night, you find yourself in the dwelling of the one you've fancied for a long time. The lights are low, the music is mellow. There are candles everywhere and a full bodied rioja in your hand...He moves closer and eventually you can no longer resist...

...I don't know anyone who considers the school run or what happens when your child is snotting in those circumstances! :pac:

You're the type of parent that teachers love. Thank you!

I went to the bank.

They have that holding cell carry on where you've to wait for one door to be closed before the other one will open. I held the door open to let a woman with a buggy into the holding cell and pushed the door closed.

Woman starts taking rain cover off buggy and unstrapping the kid while we're waiting in holding cell. I'm thinking "couldn't you wait til we're in". She then starts pushing the buggy into the door. I thought maybe she thinks it's automatic when one closes the other opens. So I said "oh, you need to push the button". "Oh no, she has to do it", so I'm stuck in this feckin holding cell for what seemed like an eternity so that her kid can push the bloody button.

Srsly.

I'm sure I sound like a cranky aul c u next Tuesday, but it's a bank at lunch time, people are busy.

The very reason I used to love babysitting. I used to allow the three kids I babysat to stay up on the condition that when they saw headlights in the driveway, they'd run to bed and pretend they'd been there all along. We'd spend the night eating junk food and watching kids movies. They thought it was cool because they were doing what they wanted. I thought it was cool because I got to be a kid again (albeit a kid who was responsible for all the others if the house was broken into or one of them spontaneously combusted or whatever)

...then you'd get fifty quid cash in hand at the end of the night :P

That happened me in AIB on Baggot Street one day. I explained to the woman "No, I have to press the button because my mother overindulged me by allowing me to press all the buttons when I was a child and this is what I've turned into as an adult".
She was not a happy rabbit.

When you're on the bus and the person sitting on the inside seat wants to get out, they just stand up but don't say "excuse me" or anything. Jesus Christ, are some people fukking mutes or something?!

I pretend I don't see them

Reading thru this thread I am so glad I dont need to use public transport to get to work.

But TA is those people who drive in the middle lane on the M50 when they are not passing.
So I am cruising along in the inside lane. But driving faster than someone in the middle lane.
The law says that I am not allowed to pass them on the inside lane....I have to switch lane twice to the outside lane to pass them.

I break the law on that one sometimes and pass them on the inside.

I am sure some middle lane muppet will be along here to declare a TA that people pass them on the inside lane on the M50. :mad:

MsBubbles

Thanks Boom_Bap I now have a mental image of you flexing your guns while brushing your teeth

Mr. CooL ICE

The M50 is a complete free for all. People drive in the middle cos they don't know where else to go.

People on the left don't let you merge when you join the motorway for many reasons:
a) They aren't even looking around them and are completely oblivious to everything except what's straight in front of them. Looking in mirrors is optional for them
b) They see the road in front of them as being their special space, and nobody can touch their special space. They will speed up to stop you merging in front of them because they're assholes.
c) They are aware and competent drivers and genuinely want to switch lane to allow you to merge, but cannot because the lane to their right is completely full of gombeens blocking them from doing so.

Loud phone-talkers. It's not necessary to raise your voice above normal conversational level to be heard on the other end of the phone, yet some people think having a mobile to your ear means you have to shout.

'Said, chief. I'd insert a fourth category there, b.1) They know perfectly well where you are and what you're trying to do, but have no idea that they're supposed to allow you to merge safely, either by adjusting their speed or changing lanes. They assume you'll just have to treat the merge as a left-turn. :pac:

Also: People who try to "help" you by surrendering their right-of-way. This happens a lot in the various one-way systems around Limerick city-centre for some reason. Some reprobate will stop dead and start waving and grimacing frantically for you to move ahead of him, whereas if he may just take his right-of-way when he has it traffic would flow properly the way it's supposed to and you'd have less fender-benders caused by amateur gawbeens like him directing traffic from inside his car!! :mad:

Some people also think they have to be mobile all the time ie; walk up and down with them. What is this? Have you ever seem someone standing still on a mobile phone?

My favourite girl from work. She is sex obsessed.
She's watched the 50 shades trailer about 8 times today, that fire song from it and beyonces slowed down version of crazy in love is on loop all day. Enough!! Then we have a full and frank discussion on porn being healthy, how masturbation is healthy, how she hopes they didn't show all the hot parts in the trailer. Wondering how sex can be so passionate without leaving the woman paralysed. Good Lord.

While we are on the subject of merging on to the motorway.
Motorway speed limit is 120kmh which would indicate that traffic on it will be moving pretty fast in all lanes.
Why then do some muppets decide merge on to the Motorway at 30kmph causing all sorts of chaos?

They're Driving Safely, by presenting a rolling obstacle out-of-the-blue slap-bang in the middle of the driving lane of a motorway. Because Speed Kills, chief! :pac:

Only they're not "supposed" to let you merge. It's up to the person merging to find a space to do it in; the person already on the mainline has absolutely no obligation to change lanes to let you in and I'd argue that people doing this is a large part of the reason half the idiots in this country have no idea how to merge safely in traffic conditions that mean the person in the driving lane can't move over even if they wanted to.

Some do that. But to be fair, many sliproads onto the M50 make it really tough to reach the speed limit by the time you join. Best example is the Dundrum northbound sliproad - it goes uphill. I find it hard to reach 100kph (the limit at that area) in my 1.4 Focus.

Drove around Italy two years ago. I was shocked at how well behaved the drivers were on the motorways, considering the awful reputation Italian drivers have. I couldn't believe at how accommodating they were for allowing merging. Didn't matter if it was an oul Italian granny in a Punto or an artic, they all moved aside for you. Also, all sliproads are downhill and feature a straight section allowing plenty of time to pick up speed and merge safely.

TA: Nation of drivers with a bad reputation being far better drivers as a whole.

I was waiting for a bus one evening in Baggot St when a girl standing nearby, waiting for a different bus, started yelling at the top of her voice into a mobile. She seemed to be trying to shout loud enough to be heard on the far side of the city, without the phone. People were actually looking at her, wondering why she was yelling.

The best bit was, as I boarded the bus, along with other bemused people, she shouted ' oh I'm getting funny looks here. People don't realise I'm on the phone'.
It would almost have been worth my while to let the bus go without me, in order to point out that she was the one who didn't seem to realise she was on the phone.

Ah, I know that sliproad well-drive it every morning.
If you stay in the left lane of the slip road you have a 200mtre straight stretch after the top of the hill to get up to speed before you have to merge.
But if you stay in the right hand lane on the slip road you have to merge at the top of the hill which can be hard for a less powerful car.

Little scrotes on the luas. About 5 of them got on, two girls three lads. Scruffy little ****s, decked out in jd sports finest, hair cuts on people I've only ever seen selling carpet and I'm no mystic meg but the only thing I can see for their future is shooting heroin into their eyeballs and government funded sprigs. Pushing each other into other people and when one of them bumped into me I said excuse me do you mind and they all started laughing and the one standing on the step kept stepping back down onto my foot/into me on purpose. I'm raging I didn't say something else to them or push them back or something but I am a wuss

"Supposed" is the wrong word, yes. But most civilised people in most civilised jurisdictions show a level of courtesy in these cases, rather than the more typical clodhopper "I pays de tax Joe so dis here bitta road is mine, dammit!!" you get around here. :pac:

This whole "no regrets" thing. I regret everything, I'm like a heroin addict, or a compulsive eater or something. I know what I'm doing is wrong but I can't help myself. I get paid on Wednesdays. Which means I should have cash monies to my name right now considering I have yet to pay my phone Bill and buy food. I have 13 euro in cash, and about 8 euro left in my account. What do I have to show for my full time wage that I got today? I spent 55 euro on a Jo Malone candle, I bought two Mac lipsticks, I got a charlotte tilbury lipgloss and lipliner, and I got a pair of shoes. So for the next 6 days I'll be eating pasta and noodles and apples, and wiping my ass with 1ply bog roll but that's all fine because at least I have a ridiculous candle and a pair of designer shoes i probably won't even wear outside because I might damage the sole. I keep spending until I stand there HOPING my card doesn't decline or melt. And then when I walk out of the shop I just feel guilty. Not happy or excited. Just guilty.

Only I'd be the one cleaning it up again. I'd love to do it though just to see their faces. It started with getting a face full of dust and dirt earlier when emptying the Hoover into the bin outside.

I got a terrible amount of abuse in the US of A for mentioning that turnip is possibly my favourite veg.
'Around these here parts, that's what we feed our donkeys' was the response I got.
