Just had to move to a different table cos a guy wearing way too much cologne was sitting near me while I was having my lunch, it was so distracting!

Physiotherapy hurts like f*ck.

Impatient parents. There is a woman on this bus with me and her toddler daughter keeps accidentally dropping her toy on the ground and her mother keeps getting angry and being aggressive. She isn't even paying attention to her at all
I dno, it annoyed me when I saw it so.

1) Driving behind someone for about 20 mins this morning who had their rear fog lights on. It wasn't in the least bit foggy. I actually felt my blood bubbling. I needed a strong cup of coffee to combat the headache from the glare.

2) People who enter aa large roundabout and feel that they now have ownership over the entire roundabout until they take their exit. Just no. If you come across someone else, simply slow down like you would on any other part of the road instead of thumping your fist on the horn.

Some newspapers and politicians getting a place name so wrong when they use Irish,
Carrickmines in Irish is

Carraig Mhaighin, which means plateau of rock

NOT.

Carraig Maonais, which means...... are ya ready....... Mayonnaise.

Think the builders may have preferred the latter when they went building underground carparks , (hint is in the name lads)

I remember the shop in Eastpoint business park used to apply the increase on cigarettes minutes after the minister announced it. Pure profiteering.

Glad I dont smoke anymore. Come join the fun No Smokers Club!

Yes, like those f*ckwits who sign off , "best" - best what? Or are you too busy to insert another word? Perhaps you're being charged per word?

Worst.

Every single day of this job, going to lunch, my boss has asked me if I want something from the shops while he's out. Every single day I have said no thanks I'm going out myself soon.

Christ that annoys me. Every single day.

Some day Gongoozer..... some day, you'll be stuck at your desk, slaving away and distraught knowing you won't be able to pop out for lunch... but alas!!
Your saviour! Every day he's asked you, and today will be no different... Your predicament of hunger will be no more as he'll be your knight in shining armour, ready to purchase foodstuffs for you... but will today be the day he asketh no more?
Do you wish for that day to arrive Gongoozer?
Do you?


TA - people who walk past my desk in the morning and don't say hello / good morning back as I greet them.
FFS, just fupping acknowledge you freaks! I'm trying to help your morning!

I know he's being nice, so is my other colleague when she does the same thing ten minutes later. It's not the point. It's fcuking irritating. It's fine if you wouldn't find it irritating, good for you, I do.

Do the following:
When he asks, respond with:

'Hold on.... eh...... (give it a few annoying seconds) I think I need........(more seconds of silence), nah, you're ok'

Do it every.single.day

A day of TA here.
There is a smell of something not quite nice in my car and despite tearing car apart. Taking out child seats, mats and checking the boot I can not find the source or offending item.

Family member goin on hols to Portugal tomorrow and keeps reminding of this every hour.

Husband has a cold and is incapacitated by it.

I have run out of butter.

Plenty of milk though.

Driving home today through Moate and the car up in front stops dead in the road. I thought they were just having a chat with someone but it turns out that this little girl, so little that she had a soother in her mouth, was cycling on the road, coming towards us. The car in front yelled out at her mum/sister (it was hard to tell) but she was told to f off!!! :O The child could have been killed if someone came flying around the corner! How can a parent/sibling be so irresponsible????

My TA is that I went for a small walk this evening and Im rewarding:rolleyes:myself with red wine ,I said I wouldnt have too much so only pouring a little into the glass at a time but Ive done that a few times now and the bottle is looking fairly empty:(had to have a packet on Hunky Dorys too..Im going to regret this at 7am but I cant stop myself.:o

Why do some people in the media refer to all men as 'gentlemen', as in 'the gentleman who shot the garda was out on bail'?? Really wrecks my head!!

People who say 'he will be dearly missed'. How can you 'dearly miss' someone? You dearly love but sorely/badly.....miss them.

TA that I'm getting wound up by noise from what sounds like a small party next door - when they pretty much never have parties, and I'm up anyway, and nowhere near bedtime, so they're not really bothering me. Why am I even getting wound up?

No. They might be great sportsmen or great in their field but they're not warriors and they're not legends.

In fairness though, if you transported the forwards from the Irish squad back to the middle ages, stopped them dieing of dysentery or starvation and got them onto the field of battle suited and booted, then yes I think they'd make cracking warriors AND due to their size some could unleash such untold destruction that they could become legends. Imagine Sean O'Brien wielding a claymore in full Armour.

Every day I offer to pick up something from the shops for a fella I work with. I never hear 'I'll come along with you' or 'Aye, a bag of sweets to share'. Always, 'No, I'll go myself.'

Almost like they don't want friends.

I saw a man this morning trying to cross a road (where there was no crossing or lights) on his bike, holding two dogs on two separate leads (one on each side) and being followed by a girl that was (I would guess) only barely school going age, on her bike. Talk about a travelling circus. What happens if any of the three beings he has in his control decide to do something unpredictable (as kids and animals are bound to do)? Dogs see a cat or another dog, and decide to run different directions, child sees I don't know...a frozen themed ball in the drain or something.... Recipe for disaster. And then he shoots us a dirty look for stopping the car because the car in front of us stopped, and you know...he couldn't cross the road with his travelling circus....at the point in the road where traffic was filtering off left and there was no crossing or lights....

That reminds me of Spike Milligan recalling a Tamil priest in India saying the Christian mass in his own language, and it sounding to an eight-year-old Spike like "Iggery-buggery, Iggery-buggery, Iggery-buggery-buggery-buggery Iggery-buggery..." :pac:

When I was about 8/9 I was moved to a class mid year where the "Christian" butcher insisted you ask to go to the jacks in Irish....which nobody bothered teach me. So for several weeks I got away with something like " yabbada yabbada yabbada muck on shay Hurley".......then I got rumbled.

Everyone says I have an American accent and asks where in America I'm from, never been there and the only explantion I can come up with is I moved around alot as a kid and loved American tv shows so maybe it came from that but once you get to know me you hear how I say certain words and I sound Irish. It happened to me again recently and they asked me in an interview about visa's and stuff and I was confused until they said where in America are you from and I was like no I'm Irish and they said oh right but didn't look like they beleived me. I think I know were I'm from :mad: does my head in after years of this

On a bus that has neither wifi nor sockets working.

Feck sake.

Usually it's one or the other.

I have a lot of data so can use my phone as a hotspot for laptop to get some work done, but not having a socket to accompany it is annoying.

Although on the plus side, usually sockets are working, so shouldn't really complain too much.

That reminds me, my earphones broke on me the other day (low sound in the left one), had to get another pair, and I have to get a very specific pair because while I don't think my ears are that unusual, the generic ear buds just never stay in. These ones I get, I get the sound quality, and they stay in, though it's a rare time you'd ever see me running

Also TA that I had to buy new sunglasses yesterday (I have a habit of either breaking stuff or forgetting stuff and leaving it behind me), and I only noticed just now that I'd forgotten to take the UV sticker off the lens - walking around all day yesterday and this morning with the UV sticker on the lens... :mad: :rolleyes:
