there's an app that you can have on your phone, pop it on when that happens, and tells you what the song is.

Not sure what it is called, but my friend uses it and finds it fab. Happy to check with her what it's called for you

when a song on the radio is just about to finish, you reach around for your phone looking to shazam it but it finishes before you can....

that app is brilliant all the same, it solves a classic first world problem, if you can find your phone quick enough :0

People who don't appreciate sever myopia. I've a friend who has pretty much near perfect eyesight, who has been prescribed glasses for reading, and who smugly informed me that he will not be wearing them because "it's better to not wear glasses because you will weaken your eye muscles and become dependant on them" - what the actual fúck? I come in at minus six and with an astigmatism on one eye. Translates into "no I can't see the small print on the billboard on the back of the bus - I can see the bus though.....when it moves". And he is more or less telling me my eyes are just lazy..... That I just need to get used to seeing without glasses. Wánker.

When you're drying dishes and you have to keep walking around the person standing at the sink to put the stuff away.

Also, had friends up for dinner at the weekend. My way is to have the dinner more or less ready when they arrive. Oh apparently not. OH said it would be ok for it to be just getting started when they arrive. TA1: I will be slaving while they all start drinking = not fair.

TA2: I am cooking something that I have not cooked for a while so I am relying on a recipe and am therefore not sure what comes next. That's ok except....one guest decides "its more fun if we all make the food together and then enjoy our combined efforts over wine" - So now not only do I have to try to negotiate the recipe myself, I have three idiots getting in my way trying to help. Asking me what they can do when I don't even know myself what I am doing next. Not knowing where anything is so altogether being more of a fúcking hindrance than a help.

- what will I do?
- Juice the limes
- ok where is the juicer?
- we don't have one, just squeeze them
- into what?
- a bowl
- where are the bowls
- there
- do you have a knife?
- will you cut the tomatoes also please?
- ok what size?
-
- what will I do next
- I dont know, I need to check the recipe

And then of course, there's the standing around with one arm as long as the other, in front of the press I need to access. Then when I ask them to move, they stand in front of the drawer I need to open next....

TA3: When we stopped off for wine, they started picking out the most expensive ones - "let's buy two of these, they will be amazing with your dish" (at the price of half a days wage each) and I'm like, "er....why don't you sort yourselves out with your wánker wine and I'll just buy a six box of flat bottomed bottle chardonnay like the dipso that I am"

TA4: When we get to the house, they put the wine in the fridge....the fridge you say? Where we must wait an hour for it to chill? What's wrong with you people?! Put it in the freezer and then we can drink in ten minutes!!

I'm reminded of a really bad joke (hopefully it wont get pulled as "chat" since it's camouflaged in among all the TA's. A woman went to her doctor with two strange green circles on her thighs. The doctor asked, "have you a gypsy lover" and she shyly replied, "yes". He told her, "there's nothing to worry about here....but tell your lover his earrings are not real silver"

that reminds me, people who pay for things costing say a tenner in shops using a card and holding up a queue of customers. Pay in cash ffs.

Annoys me too. On the other end of this spectrum are the gobdaws who wont wait for even one transaction and wave their product at the cashier as they run past and slap their payment down on the counter. "I'll just leave that there for you love!". It needs to be scanned you idiot!

Standing in the queue for the atm, the woman in front was there for about ten minutes! I could see the screen, she kept asking for multiples of 20 but the machine only had 50s. I was tempted to say something but I shouldn't have been looking at the screen.

She tried to get €20 out 4 different times. Then moved on to €40, €60 and €80. Who doesn't try for €50 somewhere in there?? I was really angry and I very rarely get angry.

This happened me one time in a shop, again I was looking (innocently but because I wanted to see the cause for the holdup) as the guys card was declined time and time again. It was one of those pin pads where you had to press "ok" to authorise the amount before entering your pin, but he was just punching in his pin without doing this. I couldn't say anything but I was hopping...

And all the talk about "having them all on the same pay" - I'm pretty sure that automatically means increasing the lower pay rather than decreasing the higher pay....

Now there's dozens of comments, oh it's a boy how lovely, you're being induced? Why didn't you tell me? Etc.

Never mind that, shouldn't it be "inducement"? Induction makes it sound like she's going for baby training

I didn't realise how much they annoyed me until I started typing and the fury nearly consumed me... There were loads of annoyances but I couldn't say anything because they were trying to be nice. Even things like when we were sitting out having some drinks and they kept throwing the ball for my dog. They obviously thought she was ok with it because she kept bringing it back for them but I know she'd run until she collapsed. Middle of the day,quite warm and they are running her like a mad thing. Eventually I had to just pick her up and say, "I'm just putting her inside for a nap" -

Pears. When they are ripe they are fantastic. You would get out of bed in the morning for a fine pear. Succulent and satisfying.

But then there are the ones that look ripe but are in fact hard as rocks. And dry.
I am breaking my teeth trying to eat a hard pear right now. Very annoying.

A friend of mine used to do that, and what she would finish with would not be anything like what I intended to say. I used to just say 'No, what I was going to say was...'

That guest would get a polite but firm 'get da fcuk outta my kitchen' if they ever suggested such a thing to me. I'd probably brandish a large meat cleaver to let them know how serious I was.

TA at the weekend was the amount of people on the roads in my locality. Now, I'm not exactly one of these "local access only" weirdos but what annoys me is that the people who use the roads who are non-residents seem to have zero respect for the place. We live outside the city, and the landscape is beautiful and the place is peaceful.....except for Sundays and bank holidays when we get the day trippers. What písses me off about them is not the fact that they are there, but they have no respect for the place. They drive at speeds totally inappropriate to the type of road they are on, with little allowance made for the fact that they are not familiar with the area and don't know the twists and turns and where the road narrows etc. Zero regard for the fact that it's primarily a farming area and that means there may be livestock crossing. There are family pets to think about too. They are often litter louts and think nothing of leaving behind McDonalds bags, nappies, empty cigarette cartons etc. By all means enjoy the countryside on a nice day but FFS have some cop on and take your rubbish with you. It's not as if it ceases to exist as soon as you leave it behind - there are people living and working there all the time.

I've got to go to our local shop today and I'm dreading it. So many obnoxious fricking teenagers hang around the place, generally making total pricks of themselves and shouting abuse at people. I rarely use the place but on the odd occasion where I've had to go at lunchtime on a school day it's like something from Lord of the Flies, and of course they're on holiday so there's not going to be a good time to go over.

What really bugs me is that the majority of these teens are from average working/middle class families. It's not as if they have any reason to behave as they do, other than being over-indulged brats with an exaggerated sense of entitlement. :mad:

Morons. I don't remember being like that when I was a teen. ("In my day" lol). They are at that age when they are too old to want to stay at home, and too young (and poor) to be allowed in anywhere so they just drift about like lumps of deadwood. Sometimes I see gangs of them hanging around the carpark in the evening, the boys asserting their male dominance by giving older people a hard time, and the girls flashing their reproductive plumbing in Penneys finest fishnets and shorts...a weird sort of mating ritual tbh, and I think.... would you not just rather be inside where it's warm and there are you know...seats??

Yeah, we didn't carry on like that when we were teens, it just wasn't done. There's no shortage of money with them since most of them are buying baguettes at just short of 4 quid a pop, whereas I make my husbands lunch and he takes it to work with him. So they're parents are spending 80 euro a month per kid, just on school lunches.:eek:

I remember before Christmas, the prime time expose on elderly abuse in a care home where people were just losing the run of themselves on social media, saying this that and the other on what their choice of justice would be eg. various methods of torture inflicted on the offending nurses and staff responsible, can't remember specifics but just silly stuff, hanging I think was one of them. I admire their passion right down to the ground and fair play that there are such strong minded moral folk among us but come on now, suzie from tallaght (random fake example)saying she'll rip their teeth out with pliers and burn them alive?

I just don't think it was the answer in that case but I completely understand the outcry. Sack them without pay, take them off the register and take them to court, even jail, punish them to the fullest extent of the law, but these wannabe axe murderers and arsonists are something I didn't agree with.

And if you tell them you disagree with the death penalty (which I do), you might as well just tell them you're an elder abuser/psycho/paedo/axe murderer yourself. Their pea-sized intellectual capabilities translate a stance against capital punishment into condoning the crimes themselves :rolleyes: It's like some kind of gore contest. Not unlike the grief contests we see on social media sites, where the recently deceased are urged to "sleep with the angles" and the junkie who just got shot inspires the "only the good die young" rant.
