    Deli workers who display either or both of the following annoying habits:

    1. You ask for a wrap as follows "A plain wrap with some mayo on it", followed by their sarcastic reply of "Is that all you want on it?"...Sigh, no thats not all i want on it but i was giving you a bit of time to get and dress the wrap first before I tell you the ingredients because I would hate for you to fall into category 2:

    2. You ask for a wrap as follows "A plain wrap with some mayo on it, and some chicken and
    " "Hang on ill just get the wrap first", followed by them spending 5 years taking out the wrap, then with a big fake smile "What would you like on it?". :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Also, in supermarkets, people ahead of you in a long line, when they have all their items scanned and bagged and the worker says "18.60 please", THEN they decide that they need cash for items and stop to root around their wallets for the money with a surprised look on their face, all the while holding up the line even longer". Newsflash people: YOU NEED MONEY TO BUY ITEMS, GET YOUR FCUKING CASH OR CARD READY BEFORE HE OR SHE ASKS FOR IT. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I have a sore throat. Not scratchy or tickly; it feels bruised when I swallow. Guess it's my tonsils.
    Every time I swallow, it hurts.

    I also don't feel great...not ill, but not right. As if I'm coming down with something.
    It's a bizarre feeling when you're on the cusp of being well/starting to come down with something. I feel lethargic.

    And I went to check our medicine cabinet to see if we had Strepsils and we only have one lozenge, but it's half open and all sticky.
    So now I only have soothing tea.
    Woe is me.

    Do you have ice? Ice water is your friend for sore throats. Feel better soon.:)

    Put my phone on charge overnight. Woke up this morning, realised I never switched the power on the socket.:mad::mad:

    For a quick charge on smartphone, put on "airplane mode" and the charge is so quick you won't believe it.

    3. "Can I have a white roll please"
    "Butter or mayo"
    "Butter"
    "What would you like in it?"

    Problem solved :)

    Don't get me started on the girl at my local Spar deli counter. Gives me sausage rolls when I ask for shephards pie. I think I might have to start bringing in pictures of what I want.

    Bruce Jenner flashing his transsexual legs all over American Media instead of apologizing to the family of the woman he killed in the car accident. Its obviously an issue that has been weighing on his mind as he has his fashion crew follow him from one magazine to the next applying blusher and discussing his new life. How about a show of humility for the sake of her poor family? Disgusting piece of sh!t.

    Thanks, Pumpkin, I'll know next time. Luckily enough my throat's alright now.
    I had three cups of tea in an hour and it seems ok now.
    But I'll definitely try ice water next time :)

    The AIB "Brave" voice is back - ear-bleeding. "I'm so soft and delicate and in pain and about to cry, and have a bit of a contrived American twang". Pretentious central.

    id laugh if she saw this :)

    When I was a very young kid I had him as a teacher, by Christ I could tell you horror stories. The man was a prick then and is not much better now.

    A lot of the GAA crowd are. A few senior county players live in my local area and strut around the place like they are something special for kicking a bag of wind around a field.

    Driving on a very narrow county road and driver coming in the opposite direction just stops.

    Can't get past. Cars behind me. Had to get out of the car and explain to her that she needed to reverse back to the passing area.
    She asked me to reverse her car for her. Ffs....

    Yet in another thread, some are asking cyclists to take theory tests. After reading that, it makes you wonder can they even drive properly themselves.

    Went to my local pub today for lunch. It's an occasional treat, lovely grub there. Anyway, the feckin car park was jammers. Had a look inside and GAA or something was blaring, and the place was packed.

    The Food manager saw us, and knowing we are regulars said she would find us a spot in about twenty minutes. NO THANKS, although I did say thanks to the woman. Full to the brim and full of kids and the noise!

    Must be getting old or something. Anyway, Aldi is not too far away, so ran in got some salmon and we are just about to have a nice meal, at home, in the peace and quiet. Bought a cheeky bottle of wine too. Bliss.

    The best laid plans!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Am minding my seven year old niece today and she's going through a phase of telling jokes every two seconds. She keeps asking me to tell her some, how many jokes have I been told down over the years and I can't remember one! Literally none! Had to google some but they were mostly inappropriate lol

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 321 ✭✭TomBtheGoat


    Friends forcing kids on you. F**k off, I wanted to see you, not have you dragging your kids along without telling me. Shouldn't my lack of kids and interest in same, be a clue to you? Pisses me off the way some people try to force you to love their kids.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭brianregan09

    Said before, but cold callers!!
    I had 3 knocks on the door on Friday from 2 of them (the same guy knocked on 2 separate occasions).

    The one that really got to me though was the Eircom guy trying to tell me that he could get me more speed from my line despite me repeatedly telling him I was at maximum capacity. He then told me that my Vodafone modem was slow and outdated, and would result in slow wifi speeds, and when I told him that I had disabled the wifi function of the modem, and was using my own wifi router (Time Capsule), he just couldn't fathom what I was saying, and still insisted I'd be better off with an Eircom modem, and he'd prove it to me, so he ran a line test and said with the Eircom modem, I would get up to 30mb download speed, I said that was pretty impressive, but since I was already getting a steady 28mb with my current set up, I would see no need or want to change.

    These chancers go around hoping to get someone who's not really up to speed with all the jargon, and try and bully them into upgrading their services to something that they'll never need! and what pi$$es me off the most, these 'reps' haven't got a clue themselves.

    Ripped jeans! So hard to find a pair of jeans in the shops that don't have ripped knees in them. Decided to take the plunge last week and bought a pair. Putting them on this morning I put my foot through the knee hole instead of the foot hole and now they're ripped the whole way down :( maybe I could start a new trend?

    All sports punditry is pointless nonsense.

    They constantly contradict themselves and switch opinions every few minutes. Pre and post game analysis is pointless because it adds nothing and talking about what people should do/should have done is redundant.

    There is far too much coverage given to sport in all forms of media when all that really matters is the actual event taking place, when it is taking place.

    The amount of dead animals on the road.

    Sitting behind someone on the bus and I can see they're on boards on their phone. Nearly dislocated my neck trying to get a "nonchalant" look at what forum they were on so I could stalk them on my phone whilst sitting behind them hehe. Boardsies should have a secret hand shake or something. Oh how sad I am.
