    Someone told me this the other day too, didn't try it, hate socks in bed, me feet usually are outside the duvet anyway to try cool them down!

    Do you want the murderers to get you?? That's how they get you. You need the duvet as your defence. Don't come crying to me when you wake up dead!

    I'm annoyed today because my husband wouldn't get my parcel from parcel motel this morning. Now it will be 10pm before I get it!

    TA at people who cant use Outlook scheduler correctly and end up sending you invites to meetings that conflict with other meetings.
    Or inviting you to meetings that start at 6am.

    The insane amounts of money people spend on Communions. 400 fricking quid for a Communion dress:eek: You have got to be kidding me, sure that's more than a lot of women can afford to spend on a wedding dress, and that's just the dress.

    I'm annoyed because I have two parcels at PM but because my card got skimmed over the weekend I have no card to pay them the €3.95 for each so no delivery for me! Got me new PIN this morn, but not the card :(

    Btw have you now conquered the fears of PM now? :P

    P.S. nobody will get me, nobody!

    Creepy people. There was a guy behind me in the post office this morning, creepy as hell and not the full shilling. I had to change the way I walked to work years ago because it was an isolated footpath and he approached me to chat a few times when I was alone. Anyway, the fcuker kept touching my back and ranting and raving to some guy about most of the people in the post office at the time.

    He was telling the guy about how great a time he'd had at lap dancing clubs in England at the weekend, I don't think I'll ever feel clean again, shuddering just thinking about it.:eek:

    good few years ago and in a previous job, one Friday - casual day - had my shower and washed my hair before going to work and instead of drying it I tied it up in pigtail plaits (not quiet like pippy longstockings) but just neat and handy - anyway a manger from a diff dept (older man) came over to me in the canteen and told me that with my hair that way I "reminded him of an experience he once had" ive never wore my hair like that since!!

    Ha ha brilliant. That'll be me in a few years minus the manager bit. I lived with 3 stranges in college for a year. 1 girl 2 guys (3 with me). The girl told the 2 lads that of the 3, she was most afraid of me. I must exude something......

    I live about 100m away from a big green with playground and lots of space for kids to play, it's well kept as well and safe. I can see it from my house. Yet where do the neighbours kids play tennis, football, etc.? That's right, they play right outside my driveway on the road. This is not a cul de sac either, a good few cars passing all the time.

    overbearing grandparents who undermine first time parents through questioning everything to do with their parenting technique and a general smothering ''I know better'' attitude.

    I coughed so hard a while ago that a little bit of pee came out.:eek::o:(

    Due to public transport issues and other stuff I have loads of trivial annoyances today, but trivially annoyed that I'm way too tired to type them out. Beyond exhausted. Night night :)

    You could counter their smugness by telling them that they know better than you because they learned from all the mistakes they made parenting their own kids.:D Not sure it would go down at all well, but hey, it's there if you need it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭whatismyname


    Oh a straightforward one - quite trivially annoyed that the bed I'm staying in tonight has only one pillow on it. I'm used to having loads of pillows and hate just having one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    Waiting for my boyfriend to finish up work, work which he shouldn't have to do I might add, so that I can go pick him up. I really can't wait for this show to be over. I feel like I don't know him anymore.

    Also people who promise things and never see them through or who have clearly just lied to make you happy. You might as well just tell the truth from the beginning.

    People who ignore you because you try to help them and then a month later send a message with their news. No hello or how are you.

    Finally, people who always have to see the bad in everything.

    I'm not in a very good mood which is the worst TA of all.

    Got my parcel motel stuff, jeans didn't fit. Pain in the hole. So fed up of not fitting in stuff. I'm going to have to live in leggings and the maternity ones are so expensive!!

    You'll probably get the card tomorrow, I lose my cards on a monthly basis :o crap thing to happen though!!

    Twats with beards. I'd say 75% of the trend following idiots know how irritating they look.

    TA: My dad was supposed to call me yesterday. To be perfectly honest, I utterly hate talking to him over the phone as he's prone to long, winding, moaning rants about the economy/his so-called money troubles/ how the whole world is against him/etc. It's exhausting listening to him. Anyways, yesterday was my birthday and since he lives down t'country I don't see him all that often. He sent me a birthday card with €20 in it and I promptly sent him a text to thank him for it, including my email address in case he fancied a chat.
    He texted me back that he'd "ring me later" so I sighed, bracing myself for a no doubt uncomfortable phone call.
    One thing you must understand is that I have a very strained relationship with my father- I haven't actually spoken to or visited him in over a year due to issues that are far from trivially annoying and which I won't mention here but suffice to say, things are awkward between us.
    Regardless, I was dreading the phonecall all evening and ended up getting a bit stressed over it.... only for the fecker to not even bother to call me! I checked my email Inbox and he didn't even mail me.
    I could rant on but I've come to get used to this kind of behavior from him. Can't rely on him for anything. :( :mad:
    I'm more irritated over the fact that spent most of last night stressed, dreading a damn phonecall.
    Urgh...

    Whenever this happens, I put on my nicest customer service voice and say, "can I help you with something?". If they say no or start mumbling about doing their job I just say, "oh that's ok, only you seemed very interested in me for some reason".

    Thats an idea, stroll in to the lingerie section, and have a "fooster" around, if he follows, then you can go to the customer service desk and report the "wierdo":D

    Disappointing snacks. I bought a pack of roasted salted sunflower seeds yesterday thinking I'd tuck in while watching Greys Anatomy. They were awful, it was like chewing salted cardboard, so they went in the bin.

    That might have washed a few years ago. Alas I'm a bit barren around the edges these days - it's more likely they think I have a can of beans stuffed down my top :)

    I hate when people pose with their tongues sticking out. It's not as bad as duck face, but it does look silly and childish.

    I can't seem to find trousers, jeans or tracksuit bottoms that are the right length. I either look like Mr Bean or Disco Stu.

    You should have asked him if he still had the wig.

    Get the legs taken up, that's mostly what I have to do. I've got short legs, so most trouser legs are too long for me. I blame my dad for my short legs and my mother for my crappy veins. I'm 5'3 my brother is 6'3, go figure.:)

    I have the tv on mute but just saw a picture of a rat as part of a clip from some RTE programme called Verminator. Jesus, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrell now. Also I'm petrified of rats and vermin.

    I hate blowing my nose in public.
    I hate when after blowing my nose in private and I emerge into a public space, I always think there is a 'bat in the cave' and relentlessly rub my nose.

    I got all excited about using my new steam iron for the first time yesterday, then I realised as I was listing off all it's superior features to Mr Pumpkinseeds, how sad my life has become that I'm so happy about a fricking iron. I'm too young for this. Where did it all go wrong:confused:

    Looking for women's shorts. I'm going away for a couple of days next month and thought I'd get a pair or two. It is nigh on impossible to get a pair of shorts that would cover you, they're all hooha or arse cheeks. I'm in my early 20's and think they're decrepid. Who actually buys them??

    That and the recent phenomenon that is...jumpsuits :confused: Oh look, a lovely dress....oh, is that a seam up the middle of the skirt? Wait....are those trousers? :( Who in the name of God wears a jumpsuit? Let's not forget the dungarees too...

    Is a jumpsuit different to what I hear referred to as a playsuit? Cause if so, a $hite ton of people have been wearing them in the summer months for years now to be fair. They are the new "Summer dress" to stop the perverts from getting a glimpse on windy days.

    Oh possibly they are the same....or maybe I made a mistake and the jumpsuit has long legs.... They're all hideous and I think anyone wearing them is well safe from sexual predators..... Even they have standards :)
