Parked outside the shop this morning and when I came out, some absolute idiot had parked behind me and blocked me in. I had to wait 5 minutes for her to move her bloody car. I hate people who do that. How rude is it!

I drove past a woman on the quay, who had parked her car so that she was blocking in other cars. I gave out to myself in my head, and said I bet she is heading into the nearby post office and leaving her car there like that. I parked up, and walked to the shopping centre. As I was walking in, she was pegging it out and back down to the quay. She would have been gone a good 15 minutes. I was incredulous, and annoyed even though it didn't effect me. Who does that ?

Dead people in newspapers. Some guy dies last month but attended a recent function before he passed away. Then his photograph appears in the latest edition smiling at the camera. This happens a lot with the weekly country papers.

Did you give her an earful or just a dirty eye?

Dirty look which she missed because she was yacking away on the phone. She drove off still on the phone.

Which leads me to another TA. I'm only a learner driver but I get all the hardship because I don't have a full licence. But then I see these idiots speeding, on the phone and just generally acting like an idiot when driving and it's fine because they have a full licence. I'm the safer driver but no one cares because of the big red L stuck on my car

Sorry for the rant!

There seems to be an unwritten law that GP receptionists have to be a pain in the arse. When I changed GPs recently and the receptionist in the new place was actually friendly I got a bit of a fright.

Actually laughed at this ! Receptionist at the Doctors surgery I attend has a habit of asking -" And exactly what is wrong with you that you need to see the Doctor? " Ah ,well I think I need to tell the doctor that , not you ?????

Youtube app on the tablet acting the maggot on me. It plays an unskipable 30 second ad flawlessly but then it doesn't play what I wanted to watch, becomes unresponsive then crashes.

I hate that you can't read the comments on the YouTube app. Some of those comments are very funny, especially the racists and anti-racists arguing.

I like the look I always received whenever I called over to collect a prescription. She dramatically flipped through the prescriptions on a file and sighed loudly while doing so. There can hardly be a more arduous task in this world.

You sure we don't have same doctor "Are you sure you rang in for a prescrption ? I can't seem to find it ".

Yes, I rang and spoke to you and you told me to collect it this afternoon !

Surely not all doctors surgeries are like this??

People who, when driving along at 75 km/h in an 80 km/h zone (or 90 km/h in a 100 km/h zone), see a Garda ahead with a speed camera or a speed camera van, and decide "better slow down to 55 km/h" "just in case".

Today a driver stopped and asked me for directions. I didn't know where the place he was asking about was. When I said as much he just gave me a dirty "stupid b1tch" kind of look, tutted and drove off. There is no need to be so bloody rude! Yes I was walking in that area but I'm not from around there. I don't know where every little thing is. Pr1ck.. Buy a sat nav!

They are. My GP is wonderful, very good to me but her secretary is an absolute witch. Over the phone she treats you like your very existence is a scourge on her life but when you are in the Surgery and there are other members of staff and patients around, she's sickly sweet.

Best situation ever with my dad years ago while walking through town,

car pulls up and the driver asks "do you know how to get to Pearse Street?"
my dad, without breaking stride says "I do" and just keeps walking.

says to me later, "well, he only asked if I knew how to get to Pearse Street, which I do"
had me in tears laughing.

Everyone who talks to me wants to know about what I'm doing about my future and even when I tell them its not good enough and they tell me what I should be doing and I'm just so sick of it, I just want to talk about normal stuff like tv or heck what they are doing and its too much I just want to turn off my phone. Thank God my boyfriend and friends get it and are actually here so they know I'm actually doing stuff because the other people on my phone make me feel like I'm just sitting on my ass after one of the most stressful(the most stressful possibly) years of my life.

I get that too. "Have you applied for this job?" "You should definitely apply for that one, such a good experience".
When that doesn't work it's "your sister had an interview yesterday, even if she doesn't get it she'll have had good interview experience".

Same as you, my boyfriend understands and isn't pressuring me. I'm happy to sub for another year. You know what's best for you, someone else can't decide for you.

It has not rained in weeks.
And today I have an afternoon on the high seas booked.
And it has started raining. Thunder and Lightening forecast.

I am going to get wet.

I can't go to the gym today because I have an extremely painful, huge, krakatoa-like pimple upon my derriere and I can barely walk, let alone climb up on an exercise bike! Just thought I'd share!

The lads in the gym won't mind. Because it would take a lot more than a pimple, to stop them from checking out your 'buns' of steel.:)

loud household appliances. blenders, hoovers, drills, why cant they make them so that they don't bleed your eardrums and wake everyone up?

I live in a housing estate with a lot of families, the type where your bedroom is looking over about ten other back gardens. My bedroom window is open today, so I couldn't help overhearing the shouty conversation in one of the neighbours gardens. (Just emphasising that I wasn't spying on them!! I couldn't help but hear!)

Basically there was a mother shouting at her kids, "No, no playing with the lady! The lady is hear to hang out our clothes, not to play with you!"

I mean I've no problem with people hiring cleaners, or any other sort of household help, but jeez, would it kill her to ask the woman's name if she didn't know it?

Penney is a black hole from whence there is no escape. Too many cheap things that you don't feel guilt until they tot it up at the till.

I'm a sucker for reduced items, feel like I'm saving when I'm buying stuff I don't even want.

They may be pretty but they are most likely utterly gash quality. Buy cheap, buy twice.

In a restaurant and this woman's phone rang which was fair enough. She hung up. It rang 4 more times and each time she hung up. Why couldn't she have put it on silent or sent a text saying she couldn't talk instead of annoying everyone around her??

It's win win for the baby though, €3 track suit bottoms for the little man that he'll probably only wear 2-3 times anyway!!! On top of that a Micky mouse t-shirt and shorts for €5

I've managed to cut back on it by only taking a set amount of cash with me and leaving my debit card at home.

My usual stylist is on holiday so someone else cut and coloured my hair last week. It looks great but what really annoyed me was that she didn't brush the loose hair off my neck or ask me if I wanted any serum or hairspray. Well it was her loss as I didn't leave a tip. My hair was blowing around every where when I left the salon.
