Weirdly enough the stage mothers are usually really obese pushy cows.

They are living out their own failed dreams/fantasies through their children.

Quite sad really, as always, it's the children that suffer.

A close second to the tiara brigade would have to be the Irish dancing gang. Wigs, sunbeds and mad looking dresses that cost a fortune.

My ridiculous shrinking feet. I was walking to an interview today, I was all dressed up and strutting - aaand my right foot just fell out of my shoe. It took me a few seconds to get it back on. Thankfully I didn't fall over or kick myself in the ankle . And I think I recovered pretty well! I made a ghastly, startled sort of beeeeeahhhrgh sound when it happened though.

'Cos traditionally, Irish girls always looked and dressed like that, way back in the Fianna's time...:D

A child started to roar and throw a full blown tantrum at a weight watchers meeting today, the mother just sat there and let him get on with it. The thing is the leader kept losing her train of thought and the rest of us were getting headaches instead of motivation.

I understand that mothers have to bring their children to these things but jesus if your child misbehaves just go outside till they stop. It cost a tenner to go to this meeting and it was like a ****ing creche.

Picking up a lovely choc chip cookie and waiting to savour the first bite...

Why are the majority of sanitary towels scented? They moved away from that years ago and now they've gone back to it again. Disgusting heavily (badly) perfumed pads that all but advertise your period. It's like the manufacturers are saying we're all dirty lazy cows who don't wash ourselves. It's almost impossible to find an unscented one.:mad:

Just on the misbehaving kids thing - parents who are too passive to firmly speak to and discipline* their kids in public - you're supposed to be a f*cking parent!

'Fiachra. Stop it please' didn't cut it the first ten times you said it. Take responsibility and deal with it! Ya know, try parenting ffs!



*I don't mean they should hit their kids. Just to be clear!

Do they though? Who thinks a weight watchers meeting is a suitably stimulating environment for a child?

The faux outrage directed towards Dublin footballer Ger Brennan just because he happens to be voting "no" in the referendum. Saw some people calling him uneducated and such on FB earlier, even though they probably wouldn't be able to explain the entire legislation involved by voting "yes" themselves.

The whole pressure on people to vote yes. Anyone on the no side is automatically under fire

The new phrases being used on social media sites. Something being "on point" or the word "game". Eg, someone posting a selfie with the following text "strong eyebrow game". Or someone else leaving a comment under said selfie saying "your make up is on point". What the actual hell? Absolute gimps.

.... add to this the use of the term "my bad". Fecking hate that.

Trying to be so careful washing my face because I got my brows tinted yesterday and I'm worried I'll wash the tint away.

Toast that isn't that nice.
I just had a "meh" slice of toast and it was all dry and claggy in my mouth.

That sour feeling you get in your cheeks when you eat something.
Most people only get that feeling (like a sour pinch) when they eat somethin sour, but I get it no matter what I eat.
It's only a fleeting sensation, but it's awful.

For me, the absolute worst is when they say "I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less."

The people who say that...... It's an epidemic and I want them all dead.

Far worse I think when a parent completely overreacts to a child's innocent behavior.
Once saw a mother wallop her son on the bottom just because he was singing (not very loudly) as they were walking down the street outside the window where I was sitting.
She then launched into a big loud tirade about how mammy should only have to tell you once to stop, that he was completely ruining mammys day and how they were going straight home, no shopping, no television, no games, straight to your room etc... kid was in bits at the end, felt really bad for him.

Friday meetings after 4pm.
Seriously?!?
Understand that it's a really poor time to schedule meetings as most people have mentally checked out, and don't expect active participation!

Do explain more about your 'meetings' though... they sounds a lot more interesting!

Work meetings after 4pm on a Friday?
I'm offended and TA'd that someone would think I would even suggest such a thing.

Some people in my previous workplace were mad for this!! And they always worked late too. A couple of us lost the rag when they scheduled a meeting for half 4 on a bank holiday Friday and keep blabbering on til after 6!

Does anyone else's dryer just never get the clothes fully dry? My dryer always leaves everything a bit damp. I could have it less than half full, leave it on full heat for 6 hours, all the vents cleaned out and the water collector emptied, and it just never fully dries the clothes!

The wire from an underwire bra poking through the material and nothing can push it back in.
Either wear it with the wire digging into your boob or throw it out.
I wore it and have been in agony all day.
Now the bra's off and in the bin and I can relax.

Put it through a spin cycle in the washing machine first, don't be grabbing a lump of drenched clothes and just f*cking it in there. Best it doesn't completely dry your clothes either, even if a tad damp to the touch they should be dry within 20 mins of taking them out.

You're doing it wrong somewhere.

When you overhear a conversation and you can't decide whether it's funny or sad. Today I had to take an inner city bus, another hate of mine. There was a chap in his early to mid 20's with physical and possibly learning disabilites, chatting to a classmate. He was asking her where to get the bus to his home town from in the city centre and when he handed her his timetable it had his travel pass with his name on it. Which led to her loudly saying 'oh, you're named after that fella, oh what's his name, oh yeah Muhammad' 'do you pray to him?:D

After 6 hours the clothes should definitely be dry and the electricity bill through the roof. You might have it on an incorrect setting like "low heat", or be putting too much into it. Google whatever make it is and see if there are any comments on it.
