I should be posting in the non TA thread about how overjoyed I am now.

A woman walked so close on my heels down one aisle and round into the next in Supervalu, that I thought it was someone I knew trying to wind me up for the laugh. I had to stop up and pretend to be looking at something to shake her off.
I put fish in my handbag, and now it smells of fish. What did I expect I suppose

They've changed hotmail/outlook whatever the hell it is again. I'm only after getting used to the new version (new as in last 2 years). I was very upset when I logged in.

I'm not finished giving out about this-ha! The autofill in the search bar has changed. I was wondering why it wasn't coming up when i'd type: 'dub'. It's now 'out' for outlook. This f***ing thing isn't giving me any positive outlook. Back in the day it used be hotmail plain and simple.

Mrs. Bap doesn't understand how I take so long in the loo role aisle in Dunnes.
If I see a new brand name jacks roll, I'm going to give is a squeeze and compare it against the other known good ones. If there was a jacks there I would even give it a test run. Now I end up getting the one with the picture of the white cat after all my aisle research.

I don't know where my mother gets her one with pictures of daisies on it, but it's a fine quilt.

Bad jacks roll is actually way worse than a TA.

I remember some years(cough cough)back when I started in my job, the bog roll was shiny on one side and not smooth on the other, (something like tracing paper) it didn't wipe, it smeared...and it had the jobs name printed on each piece, like you were ever going to nick it...

Wonder was it the same woman following me around my local Supervalu - only thing was when I stopped, she insisted on trying to get to the exact same spot on the shelf I was looking at!!!

Lots of TAs in the supermarket today, bank holidays seem to bring out the worst of people, well even worse than usual!

This drives me mad. I swear to God you could stand in front of anything and people will decide they want whatever is behind you. There could be an entire aisle of the same thing and they will still want what you are standing in front of

My trip to the bank this afternoon was very annoying. First, there was a queue that moved at snail's pace. There were only two cashiers, working in slow motion. There was a kid in front of me screaming and a creepy old man behind me standing too close. Eventually got served after a lot of muttering and grumbling and then as I walked up the street, I saw a blind man trying to cross the road. I offered to help him across, which he accepted, but then asked if I could walk him to the bank. No problem. Then he asked if I could accompany him in. No problem. Then he asked if I could accompany him to the end of the queue. I was twitching waiting for him to ask me to queue again but thankfully he left it there! :P

That's very good of you ONW!

Keeping the supermarket theme going, part of the reason for me having to endure being stalked and TA'd by shopping this morning, I bought some cream this morning to make a cake. Got home to find the lid wasn't on the bottle properly and it was leaking slightly, it spilled in the bag which will have to be thrown away as you never get the smell of dairy out and now I have to go back to get more as I still need it for the cake!

And something tells me it will be worse in supermarket with after work bank holiday shoppers

That sounds like the toilet paper we had in primary school, nasty stuff altogether

I'm sick of the mornings getting darker. I hate waking and the room is so dark I think it's about 5am. Looking at the clock then I see it's almost time to get up, fecks sake!

I put my bag on the ground to try on a jacket the other day and this WAN moved it with her foot to squeeze in front of me where there was no room anyway for her..She took one look at me said "Oh sorry" and moved on rapidly..If I had a gun....
I find the shop assistants do it too,putting stuff back on rails that Im looking at and taking their time about it. Is it me or them??(No need to answer that:pac:)

Great now my bathroom has a leak and my future mother in law is going to be here in a little over an hour

O.k so you've a leak in the bathroom, but look on the bright side. You can plug in the toaster outside and accidentally throw it into the bathroom once the Mother in Law goes in there. The wet floor should do the rest......:pac:

Some of the most recent posts moved away from the toilet roll topic, so I'll bring it back in focus with a very emotional post because, let's be honest, there are priorities in life. Toilet paper is one of them, and I tend to drive my OH insane when I get nervous knowing that we only have 1 spare roll in the house....you never know what will happen.

However, this constant worry about the precious loo paper isn't the actual problem but the fact that the toilet in our place has a rather weak flush. It doesn't take too long to refill, but might need several goes depending what you created or, more importantly, how much toilet paper you used. The more you use, the more likely it is to get blocked which then requires me to open up some strange lid in the garden and pull the whole mess out of the blocked pipe. Since we realised that the beloved 3 ply roll is out of question and I need to fight the urge to "go wild" on the potty.

My TA for the foreseeable - No more Friday night glass of wine

I've bought 2 bottles of non alcoholic beer. I don't even like beer! I have to 'water' it down with 7up just to make it palatable.

Went to Tesco to buy some wine. The guy at the cashier looked at my ID and my bf (who is 7 months younger than me) laughed and said "ah sure she's about 30" :O the absolute git!!! I'm only 25

Might be a bit far I actually like her (shes more supportive then my own sometimes) and I'm more worried about his other relatives, though she was commenting that its tidier then normal, which annoys me because I always make sure its clean and its like shes calling it a tip though she covers it by saying she doesn't mean that, shes already said it in front of everyone so they probably think so maybe I'm being sensitive but I hate when people make those comments like I'm a bad partner/women or something

I am TA'ed with myself for giving a taxi driver a 7euro tip last night. He was a nice polite fella and all, but why on earth do I give generous tips when I am a little tipsy (ie, raging drunk)?

This is done by so many people I know so I'd say it's fairly common But I just can't stand when someone put salt on a dinner before they even taste it.

This happens out in restaurants as well, so I know it's not down to what my OH or I have cooked.

Forgetting to get yourself something nice for lunch.

I was shopping and spotted a Mexican restaurant in the shopping centre as I was going up the escalator. I said to myself "I'll get a burrito on my way back".

Went off, did my bits and pieces, left the shopping centre; it was only as I was driving out into traffic that I realised I forgot my burrito.
And that made me want it even more.

But I was stuck in traffic and I couldn't be bothered going back.
Ended up having a wholegrain toasted sandwich....didn't hit the spot like a burrito would have

When in the kitchen.

Ah, a good friend approaches, Im sure they can see that I am using this facility and will wait the required 40 seconds for me to quickly finish before taking their turn, since they are evolved beyond baboon level and do have a modicum of patience.

But nae.

sorry can i just:
-(open this press door in your face)
-(push you aside like you're not even there)
-(take your water/utensils/last cup)
-(piss in your face)
-(back you into a corner)

no you cant, now fvck off.



Yes your honor I killed him.

-20 years for you

Ah, but I said "sorry can I just".

-Oh ..... I see...well ...well....thats ok then, since saying 'sorry can I just' means you can do whatever you like, a bit like hazard lights allow a van driver to park anywhere he wants, thats how it works.

I can't help but get the feeling I'm missing something incredibly obvious here...

Is it something to to with bits, bytes, megabits and megabytes?

Has it something to do with Notavirus.exe being annoyed by antivirus software?

That's going to annoy me now for the evening! I love cryptology, spotting patterns and all that stuff, but I'm no good at riddles

I thought it was that ten thousand and a hundred thousand should be called one something.Now Im confused and a bit TAd as well (a very small bit but still..)
