TA'd at people using "dude" & "mate" while addressing others in posts on this website.

Usually similar to "well actually that's your problem mate", "dude, you've no idea what you're talking about", etc.

Anyone over the age of thirty or so addressing anyone as "dude", like a doped American college dropout. Po-LEECE that moos-tache!! :cool:

In the Library, several chats going on with different people between different age groups - all walks of life. They think they have entitled to blabber because of the sh.te weather. My TA for today!;)

The Guy on Nova in the mornings (Marty Miller?)is at that the whole time Dude, chum, mate, thanks for the shouts, now his other half is on maternity leave, it's mentioned every day, and chats about babies/childcare it's getting like loose women in the mornings, and the ankle biter hasn't been born yet. :mad:

He is the second most annoying dj on Nova...second only to his predecessor on that show Pat Courtenay. Very TA.

I have 2 wells on the farm here. One about 24ft and the other drilled in 2004 is around 330ft. The shallow well is drying as is the norm at this time of year. The deep well has plenty water but the pump gave trouble last year and i never got around to fixing it. I'm now faced with the task of having to pull up the pump as i have discovered that the fault lies with the pump and not with anything above ground. Some engineering and ingenuity needed to pull it up from that depth. Going to be a busy night.

Do you not have a bucket and a long rope, and just wind it up like they do on the telly?

Everything hurts today. EVERYTHING!

I beeped a woman in front who wasn't moving off (filter light was green for turning). She was just sitting there. So I beeped her.
Fella across the street shouts "Calm down love, Jaysus."

Er, I beeped at someone who was stationary?! I am calm!
But I wasn't after that.
I've said it before and I will say it again; most as*holes on the road are women. Sorry, it's true.

Too nervous, not educated on the rules of the road, too busy doing something else.
And I am a woman.

I am trying to eat healthier at the moment. But too lazy to go shopping for vegetables and stuff.
Pizza for tea.

When you buy an item off Amazon and they give you the choice to pay in Euro or Sterling so you pay in Euro, the yoke breaks 7 months later, you return it (free of charge to them) they refund you in sterling, not Euro that you paid in, you have lost E20, that's flippin annoying,

I was really busy in work today but the minute I opened an email that wasn't work related (Supervalue Weekend breaks😟) my manager appeared out of nowhere..typical.

Also when you're obviously going on your break and someone calls you "to have a quick look at something"......can't really say no but FFS.....

TA that there aren't 2 different sounds on a car's horn; a friendly 'sorry to disturb you chap, but you don't seem to have noticed the lights changing there' and an angry 'WTF are you doing you moron? We're all going to die because of you!'

As a rule of thumb you should always choose to pay in the local currency of the site you're buying from (in this case Sterling). You'll normally get a better exchange rate off your bank/credit card company than you will off Amazon.

TA at how much time I spend on the Bargain Alerts forum (and money because of it) that I have seen that advice come up many times over

Insure and tax the car in the same week. Fcuk off.

When you get onto a bus and you're trying to climb the stairs and get seated before the bus pulls away from the stop and swerves around a corner, but you don't make it because the fúcktards ahead of you are going so slowly

Looking at possibly booking another attempt at the driving test... checked my local test centre, next available slot is in 2017. :mad:

Very TAd with our current working volunteer. Long list of things he has/hasn't done (lazy, arrogant, no strength, no work ethic, cant get out of bed until after 10am and thinks he is staying in a five star resort) but annoying now is we all have a minor stomach bug. Take an alkaselzter, stop eating and soldier on is what 3 of us are doing. Its a 24 hour bug and will go, but he is clutching his stomach and practically crying while trying to eat. Ive told him its just a bug going around and will pass soon but he called his mother and said it was an epidemic. He keeps updating me about his "boules" (bowels) and how bad he is feeling. The 9 month old baby got through it with lots of giggles every time he pooped.

Would people stop saying "my bad" God it sounds like something a 2 year old would say

Its only cringey when its someone like Niall Harbison thinking its cool to say it, when someone just says it normally without emphasing it, it's fine.

TA'd that there was no hot water to have a shower this morning, not a fan of cold showers first thing in the morn but it had to be done. Suppose I should just be grateful it wasn't January!

kfallon

Now I'm TA'd that there is something I was going to do, got distracted for a minute and can't remember what it was :mad:

Working away from home, missing my own bed and home comforts, and all the small conveniences of my normal life.

Just heated something in the microwave without a halfway stir. First spoonful "not as hot as I'd like but not bothered heating it further". Second - large - spoonful, "aaaaaarggghhh my tongue has melted! Molten stew!". Lunch ruined.
