People who stand just outside hospital entrances smoking. Hello??? What happens if someone wants to bring a sick relative out for some fresh air? They'll get poisoned, that's what!

It's disgusting. It's actually against HSE policy to smoke anywhere on the grounds of a HSE site so if that was a HSE you are referring to, then there shouldn't be smoking permitted at the front door.

People who wear their dressing gowns during the day to the shops/supermarket/post office,etc. Don't get me wrong, wearing your pyjamas is not acceptable either way, but, at least if there's a coat or jacket over the pyjamas, it makes them look slightly less bedroom attire (but not much). The pyjamas teamed with a dressing gown in public is a step too far, too far. It is basically the scenario that they have gotten out of bed and haven't made any attempt to put normal, day time clothes on. These folk are only short of wearing their slippers out to show complete disregard for what is acceptable human behaviour.

As I was passing through an apartment complex yesterday I saw one of our settled nomadic brethren out in the piddling rain and gale force winds, washing her windows wearing her pajamas and dressing gown.:D

I've now adjusted my thinking that such people wear their finest business / formal attire to bed, and simply have some kind of 'dressing chromosome' issue.


TA: Was lovely and sunny, and now when I'm ready for a walk it's started to pee again...

Speaking of atms, these small ones are weird the Bank of Ireland ones you see in the shops sometimes. Last Friday I stuck my card in and tried to withdraw 20, it spat my card out again, so had to go through the process of reinserting, pin number and this time I selected 50 which worked, why can it not just take me back to cash selection rather than when it has no twenties spit my card out cancelling the transaction. Stupid system.

I would find that to be a more acceptable excuse than just being lazy, disrespectful individuals.

TA that since I have started running, I've lost just enough weight for my running shorts to be not quite tight enough but not enough weight to justify buying a new pair Horrible in betweeny stage

I don't understand how people can go out wearing pajamas. I just couldn't do it, I'd feel skanky. Mr Pumpkinseeds occasionally has to answer the door to the postman wearing his dressing gown if he's on nights and I'm out and he hates it, he always feels he has to make a point of telling the postman that he's working nights, in case he thinks he's just too lazy to get dressed.:)

I'm going to be honest ONW, it is a TA for me (but nothing personal though, ok?) when people lose weight and then get annoyed that their old clothes don't fit. Now, that's only assuming that people are exercising to get fit and to lose weight. If the weight is dropping off and you don't want it to, then it's fair enough to give out about having to buy new clothes in a smaller size.

No no! I know where you're coming from and I despise such individuals too, especially when they do it for a reaction :P

Obviously I'm glad the weight's going the right way, but I had told myself I'd buy new clothes when I reach my target, I just hadn't thought about clothes for the inbetween stage :P

I know what you mean about the in-between stage. It's a great feeling though when the hard work starts to pay off and when it shows. Be proud!

For the last two days I can't stop singing Spandau Ballet's Gold in my head. Occasionally I burst out with it to withering looks. It's not that I don't like the song, but I think I'm starting to go slowly insane ....

I'm the same, except the song is Anastacia - Im outta love. I haven't heard it for years, and I hate it, so I don't know why it's stuck in my head.
Horrible screechey voice.

Irish made products that get given Irish names - but not proper names.

Like a normal product in English, like toothpaste, gets a name like colgate or mint-fresh, but an Irish product gets given a name like fiacla, literally meaning teeth, or theres Irish made dog food called madra, literally meaning dog.

who the fvck would buy a product named teeth or dog.
1 tube of teeth and a can of dog please.

why not sell a toilet paper named arseh0l3.

'Home made' and 'Hand cooked' products that marketing would have us believe were lovingly made by a granny in a thatched cottage instead of being made by a Polish girl in a hairnet in an industrial estate in Inchicore.

Not so much the debit cards, but the scratching around in the purse to get rid off all the shrapnel. Very - VERY annoying...

The latest in food related TA:

emptying takeaway tikka masala onto my plate from the plastic container, theres so much that it overflows and gushes off the plate and onto my duvet, stained until the next wash. My duvet was already full of pink cough medicine stains, ketchup and BBQ sauce stains etc. Oh the perks of eating in bed :-)

I hate any kind of messy spillages, especially those fizzy drinks that go sticky once spilled.

Oh and the fact burger king don't promote their menu with actual leaflet menus like the pizza and Chinese places. The website doesn't cover the whole lot and so you're left to decide what you want on the spot and ogle the menus above the heads of the employees waiting to serve me. Theres so much choice of burgers and various meals it's overwhelming. Be nice to have a look and pick something before I head out if im going there , but it's a tiny drawback.

My weird fecking body. A few months ago I had some tests that showed I was perimenopausal so I started HRT. Then I started getting all weepy and having mood swings so my GP told me to stop HRT for 3 weeks and have the tests done again. Fine, got the results today and my hormone levels are perfect, so not menopausal. Great news, but I'm confused.
