Some people feel with cash they should pay off a debt or a bill or something. Vouchers have to be spent in a shop so they get to buy something for themselves.

TA'd that shaky desk guy across from me has now started to pull up the blinds when I go to the toilet. I don't think he understands that a glass wall means there's going to be a glare on my screen

Is that not spying?! :P

I am learning to drive. You can't miss me as I'm in the learner's car with all the driving school gumph on the sides and the big sign on the roof. I have stalled at the lights and am struggling to restart. You, directly behind me beeping me out of it isn't going to help the situation in any way whatsoever. I hope your penis falls off

I hate people like this. Good luck with it My younger sister is learning to drive and she panicked because some idiot was driving up her arse. She conked the car at the roundabout and because he kept beeping at her, she couldn't start it again. He drove around her and gave her the finger. What a complete and utter wanker!!!

TA waiting for the guy to install the internet for my mum but he won't tell us the actual time. I have to wait around all day for him when I have other things to do.

It's too nice out to be stuck in work

Why do some parents find it necessary to speak LOUDLY to their children like they are deaf plebs? Is it because they want us all to hear the great conversations they have with their Little Lord Fauntelroys so we can look on in awe and envy?

Mother walking in front of me discussing the days of the week with her little one and asking her to call them out in Irish to her, and all done in a booming voice as if the child has cotton wool stuck in her ears. Although maybe she does, in order to drown out the sound of her mother.

And then I get the look back and smile to see if I am listening and doting on her spawn like I presume she thinks I should be. I was in such a bad mood I actually looked right back at her and said 'yeah?'!!

My kids making a show of me!

I bumped into someone in a cafe who I had worked on a project for. Full of her own self-importance and just not very nice. We were making awkward small talk, when my son who had been to the loo with my sister ran over and interrupted us to tell me his delightful and exciting news:

'Mummy, I wasn't able to get that poo out even though I was pushing really hard so I had to suck it back up and I'll try again later'

People who finish a conversation with "TTYL".

Reminds me of your man Francis Brennan on tha RtE show touring India. He comes out with the most inane ****e "Oh look at Breda there in her matching shoes and bag, all glam" and they all p1ss themselves laughing.

Because they want the rest of the world to experience their nouveau parenting skills.

People saying 'rock up to'. Please STOP!!

Seems like everyone in the area is using their lawn mowers and strimmers at once. Deafening.

****ING LEGIT. Just chill out ffs we hardly get sun, enjoy it when we get it.

Tell me how

TA'd when people mow their lawns one after the other like there's only one lawnmower which they all share and I have to listen to it all day.
"Why can't ye all so it at the same time so I only have to listen to it for one hour!"

My idiot neighbour cuts the grass on a Sunday. Maybe it's me, but keep down the noise on a Sunday.

TA'd that I'm out of fresh lemons....

First Up

People who create jams and tailbacks in car parks by insisting on reversing into spaces. It takes four times as long to reverse into a tight spot as it does to reverse out into the open.

Drive in, back out. Quicker, less risk of a bump or scrape and keeps everyone moving.

kfallon

TA'd that I need a big ripper of a fart

rainbow kirby

Home with the family for a week... TA'd that the one working light in the attic bedroom I'm sharing with my son is right over his cot. Also TA'd at myself for not setting up a VPN before I left for iPlayer purposes, **** RTE's Olympics coverage with a rusty spork.

GMSA

Half one in the morning and for the second night in a row my dog is barking and howling like a banshee below in the porch. Kept it up till after 3.00 last night. Luckily im in the shticks as he has fierce loud bark. The yeowling is a bit eerie at this hour. Shut up ya boxxxx.

Having to block someone on your Facebook newsfeed cos they're spamming it up with 'inspirational' quote pics/vids, etc but at the same time not wanting to miss out on interesting statuses/news.

I don't know what it is but I find it much easier to reverse into a spot than to drive straight in. If it's a tight spot with cars on both sides or pillars it's usually hard to get the car at the correct angle to just drive right in and I end up reversing back anyway to straighten it up. May as well have reversed in the first place as I'd be quicker doing that but maybe that's just me.

TA'd at a van who was driving in front of me doing 50km in a 80km zone and then further on just as we were turning off a roundabout he stopped dead to let someone cut in from another lane.

So I was given a Kindle last week as a gift and just as I was kinda getting into the whole ebook thing, I dropped it last night on the stairs of all places and now it's completely fúcked . To make matters worse, it also came with a fancy protective case, so a fat lot of good that did.

Try talking to an amazon rep on their support chat system- they are normally very helpful. They might be able to do you a favour if you explain the situation. It's worth a shot at least. They replaced a kindle belonging to my niece a couple of years ago when it suddenly stopped working, even though they were under no obligation to do so.

Hadnt heard PICNIC before - will definitely be using that in future. We used to refer to them as a problem in the KCI (Keyboard Chair Interface)

Otherwise known as PEBCAK - Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

The other favourite is the ID ten T error. Works better verbally, and then when someone asks you what it is, tell them to write it down. Replace the ten with numerals, and all becomes obvious.

I'm cracking up with the amount of times I have to take off my glasses and clean the lenses. They are constantly getting smeary, and it's worse this last couple of warm days
