Ah you have a door. I don't even have a door. I'm in an open-plan warren.

I want a door, damn it. And a Ron Swanson style Claymore mine pointed at it.

Even managers don't get doors 'round hereabouts. I cried because I had no door, until I met a man who had no desk.

I hate when someone rings my doorbell, and then gives the door a rap afterwards. I don't care how important you think you are. I won't answer the door to hawkers

Presenter on 2fm at the moment - Tracy Clifford. Seems to think that Holloween is this weekend. Thought it was Halloween?? In fact listen out for any Rte report over the weekend and it will be Holloween all the way.

The bank holiday was Monday last, Hallowe'en is the 31st Oct, tomorrow night. I'm TA'd that you don't get this?

She's referring to Meeja types' habit of pronouncing things in that ridiculous "clyde abyte" faux-D4 accent, hence "Holloween".

Sorry, missed that, stupid contact lenses.

Not if I disconnect my doorbell....

I'm a member of Ulsterbank and live in Salthill, Galway where there is no Ulsterbank atm, but I can't use the AIB or BOI atms to actually check my bank balance, which means I have to troop a few mile to the town centre to actually read my balance which is annoying. Why can't I use the BOI or AIB atms to read my balance.

I chomped down on the inside of my cheek whilst eating an apple.
I got such a shock when it happened; now I'm all bloody and it stings.

Fk that... I take the batteries out of the doorbell!

In a way the comparatively recent trend for decorating houses is a good thing - it means the children can tell which houses are into it or not.

I have to teach tonight. The effort is already killing me and I've not even started!

TA'd that ever since Three took over O2, I keep getting random unsolicited texts telling me to 'call now for filthy girls ready for slutty action with you'

Sorry Three, but as someone with a) a girlfriend and b) a working internet connection I do not need to pay €3.05 p/minute for the above.

Where is this "pay in advance before filling up your car" trend coming from...almost every petrol station I went to lately now requires that you do that. I don't like it! What if I just want to fill up the tank to the brim and don't know how many litres exactly that will be???

Most stations I've seen that in effect only seem to do it after the doors close and you have to use the window. Do you usually fill up late at night?

Nope, during the day (usually). I understand why they'd do this late or at night but it's now happening during the day as well

Pre-paying for petrol is a nightmare if you own a motorbike.. Most have no fuel gauge and smallish tanks so its guess work as to how much to put in.. Sometimes it may be €8, other times €15..

I just walk down to the station with a jerrycan and top up the tank from that before I head out. Easier..

I was putting bleach down the toilet and managed to slop it over my black jog pants. Cheap as they were I'm p1ssed off as I only got them last week

KungPao

When I decide, on a whim, that I'll pick up a 6 pack...and even though I got them from the fridge in the offie, the first can is slightly too warm and I have to wait for the second one to truly enjoy the experience.

Devastating!

Pop the first one in the freezer 20 mins ago or so before you start drinking them, then put no2 in when you take it out, repeat for no.3 and so on.

Use your nugget!

Yep, that's what I do. Fire them all in the fridge bar the first, that goes in the freezer. When that comes out another goes in

I take figures of speech literally - I shouldn't but I can't help it!

Stuff like "Is it just me or..." in relation to something that obviously isn't just them.

Misuse of "Everyone" - "Everyone is saying such and such" when a few people are.

And the most annoying: "There's nothing worse than" in relation to something so bloody trivial (yes I'm aware of the irony ) - eh... actually there is worse than that - a lot worse!

You would hate me.

In work earlier I said there's nothing worse than a crap cup of tea... Nothing worse.

That's the one that was on the Late Late a minute ago.

Bloody hell, the whole show is shocking, and I'm not easily fazed, but Jesus H. Christ, it's absolutely dismal, and now Ivan Yates?


At least Gay Byrne had Spike Milligan!

Ok, not everyone will get this, but here goes.

If you watch certain videos on youtube, or have been in a meeting with a screen attached to a laptop, then sometimes the presenter will use the mouse in place of a pen and write halfassed looking letters on the screen at a slow annoying pace.

Its never worked at any point in history and it wont ever work, its only there to annoy, that was the real reason for its invention.

So the presenter is blabbing away and then says something like ... 'Irish people on the internet' ... and then attempts to write it.

And you get something like this.

The ad with the pig, where yer man asks every question with "ye don't"
"Ye don't know anthin bout lookin after a pig?"
Phonecalls at home years ago, auld lad rings looking to speak to my Da, "He's not there is he?"
It must be an Irish thing, I've never heard it anywhere else.

Drives me spare too! People asking for something with a negative, "you wouldn't pass me the salt?"

What really gets me about the likes of the Late Late Show, is the endless parade of RTE staff that appear on it. And then the every second week, one or the other of Ireland's only two impressionists, both of whom break the golden rule by saying things like "and now here is me doing Enda Kenny/Miriam/Joe Duffy"

Dara O' Briain is the greatest comedian by far to ever come out of Ireland. I have never to my recollection come across someone or read a post from someone who didn't like him before.

Text someone and they don't reply for 2 days. Viber or WhatsApp the same, you can see they've seen the message. Why?
Fcuking reply, it's only a simple question. If I ring you'll stay on the phone for half an hour.

The whole Halloween thing gets on my tits. In my day it was a few monkey nuts and trying to eat apples off a string or out of a bucket.

Its a whole bloody event nowadays...and I have a five year old who wants to partake in all that Halloween has to offer.

I know that makes me sounds like a boring old fart...but still!

About an hour ago she was all excited saying "cant wait for holloween", but just now she said to me "mam, its a great day for doing nothing".

Ya couldn't beat trying to get a bite out of an apple floating in a basin of water. Back in the day, parents could entertain their kids & friends at a Halloween for pretty for much no cost at all. Today, a lot of parents just foolishly buy into the over commercialisation of Halloween targeting their kids, like lambs to slaughter. These fools then invariably put pressure on the likes of yourself Menas. You need to find a like minded group of parents and maybe have an old skool, big fun & low cost party next year. Although my gut tells me, that everybody will be too busy keeping up with the Joneses to listen to you.

Sorry I'm late with this but about the pre-pay petrol, I've come across it in quite a few places around Ireland. I asked in one petrol station and was told it was an effort to deal with drive offs.
