That and the recent phenomenon that is...jumpsuits 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...

To my shame I almost bought one of these. I call them playsuits, but hate them too. I just wanted shorts so bad, I thought oh I'll just get a playsuit feck it. But even they are quite short. They also come with a predisposition for camel toe!.

My parents gammy fúcking phones. I swear to God I am nearly apoplectic with rage (sorry, "trivially annoyed") having tried both of their phones to convey a simple message to them. "WHA???!!! Can you HEEEEAAAAR me?!!!" - all the while I can hear them just fine, the problem is they can't hear me....

When you're in HMV or Tower records browsing CDs and enjoying the music when some total knob comes in and walks around the shop talking loudly into his phone.

My parents moved house a year or so ago, so now they're a 5 minute walk away from our house. I phoned their landline from my landline a few weeks back and they weren't answering, so I rang my mums mobile instead. When I asked why they hadn't answered the phone she told me they haven't put our landline number into their phonebook on the phone so didn't recognise the number.

Trying to get hold of them in an emergency? Forget it, it'd be quicker to crawl over broken glass than answer their mobiles.:rolleyes:

Speaking of clothes I am TA that coming into summer all the clothes will be drapey. I don't like drapey
I want fitted light tops damn it

Self obsessed people. Surely you can think of something to talk about apart from yourself?!

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??

try sportsdirect.com you might get some nice casual stuff on that

Just seen the cctv footage of yer man in Australia nearly killing his brother with a box. What is wrong with some people? Probably a row about something stupid after a few too many.
And I bet he won't learn anything from this ordeal either.

My TA about that is that he is likely to get a jail term.You can clearly see his concern that something is wrong as soon as the brother fell, and it appears to be nothing more than a brotherly spat that had unfortunate consequences. By all accounts, they are as thick as thieves, to such an extent that the whole court case is reputedly affecting the father's health, who doesn't want to leave Australia without both sons.

Now I know there is a severe clamp down on one-punch kills Down Under,but both the accused and the victim have shown nothing but remorse and forgiveness respectively. Deport them to be fecked and leave it at that.

Nope! I won't say in case it's seen as advertising. Just something that we have been organising for a long time and it's finally on tomorrow exciting!

thread shi1tters. its the equivalent of going to a concert of an artist you don't even like, heckling and throwing rotten fruit and half eaten hot dogs everywhere.

1st:

Horror/gore thumbnails on the side of youtube videos.

like you want to watch your video and theres a picture link to the right of the screen, of a fvcking mutilated limb or in this case just now of a weird corpse thing.

yeah ok I don't care normally I've seen enough weird sht online, but its fvcking distracting when you're trying to watch a video.


trying to concentrate on something and all I see out the side of my eye is sht thats meant to draw attention put there by some shock/attention grabbing w4nker.



2nd:

Door to door sales came knocking earlier, I said no thanks and they acted like I'd pissed THEM off when the encounter ended.

some things can't be easily expressed through letter or word so I'll just type the following and hope the reader understands:

'djeh-jeh-jeh-how ... I mean'.

went into a newsagent yest on the way home from work and bought 3 items at roughly €1.10 each - shopkeeper said total came to €5.80 - wasn't thinking clearly and handed him €6 then before he gave me my change back I asked him how it was so dear and said it should only be €3 something - he stared to get really ratty with me and said he wasn't wearing his glasses and couldn't see the prices properly and had a go at me asking me what my problem was!!! made me feel like I was in the wrong for asking for the correct price to be charged!

More than trivially annoyed that I forgot to get milk yesterday. Drinking black coffee and eating dried cheerios is not the best start to the day.
Pesky bad memory.

I found some lovely ones on Amazon yesterday.

Cold callers - repetitive cold callers. Just FO like?

Also, "it's lovely out there now"

(I fúcking know). I politely smile, swallow my anger and say, "mmmmmmm" in a vaguely interested tone.

Five seconds later (same person).... "It's Friday"

Bang.....Bang

Now, all gone

I was coughing so hard last night that I opened a wound. Worse than that, I kept Mr Pumpkinseeds awake with my coughing. Why does stuff get so much worse at night?

Wanting a weekend where you could just chill and do sweet FA to give your body and wallet a break, but realise it's actually jam packed of boozy sessions lined up with little time to put the feet up...

There is an odd knife in the cutlery drawer. It appeared a few months ago, presumably out of someone elses house, and every time I open it, I hate it just a little bit more..

Apt username and all

TA: Haven't had so much as a drop in aaaaages, and it looks like a while before I'll be able to with bloody work lined up. Anyone ever notice that when you do go on the tear then, you're not right for about a week afterwards?

Definitely getting too old

The checkout operator in Dunnes asked us to put our bottles flat on the conveyor belt, after we'd put a full weeks worth of shopping on it. He got a firm and resounding NO on that one. If he'd asked as we were putting it on the conveyor belt that would have been fine, but there wasn't an inch of space left.

The smell catches in the back of the throat, it's awful. Not as bad as the stench of stale BO though, but not by much. That leads to another ta, people who try to cover the stench of stale BO by drowning themselves in deoderant, just have a shower and wash your clothes for goodnesss sake people.

I used to work with a guy, who at regular intervals throughout the day, would produce a can of Lynx from his desk and spray it under his shirt.....and the next day would do the same thing, under the SAME shirt......vile!!

He used to do this as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Coming home from the gym and the cleaner is still in the house. I'm parked up the road waiting for her to leave.

The little techy differences between things. Like, using a tablet all weeked at college and then (having overcome the "my work desktop grew over the weekend" thing), finding yourself doing "tablet" things to it, like pinching the screen to make something bigger/smaller or trying to touch the screen and scroll. Then changing from typing on a smartphone and having everything corrected for you, to typing elsewhere with no such luxury. Sigh...

eisenberg1

People tittering for no apparent reason.

"pass the butter.....titter"
"There you go"
"Thanks...titter"

Medication time perhaps?

OldNotWIse

The way the novelty of nothing to do can quickly turn to maddening boredom... And the guilt over being paid for it....

I've actually started to learn a new language online :rolleyes:

What are you looking at?


Actually, people that do that, you're working away on the laptop or the phone and someone comes in -

"Whatcha looking at? Whatcha laughing at?"

Seriously? I'm not one for being rude to people or telling them to mind their own business, but honestly... :rolleyes:

I was in a clothes shop yesterday, and the stink of a guy working there was unreal. I left quickly, but I pitied his co-workers.

There are no words... Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe that.
I used to work with someone who sprayed deodorant on, at her desk.
She was clean, and her clothes were clean, but I never understood why she didn't go out to the toilets to do that.

Agreed. This works any time you encounter a gawker.

Collections in work.

Before I get castigated and sent to the Stingy thread, the sheer volume bugs me, but a specific one: girl in work has baby, collection for flowers. Second collection for present for baby. I head people giving out about the second collection amount today saying they'd be insulted if they got sent that amount from work colleagues.

No, how about you graciously accept a gift, say thank you and let that be the end of it.

And, to really add to it, some clown said she wouldn't just send a gift for the new baby, that you'd have to get something for its older sibling. Cheesus christ on a bicycle, are you fcking serious?

I'm not wrong here am I?
