Slipping my feet out of crocs...every time it's nearly a trip to A&E

Bloody crocs, they move faster than you'd think.

Your Face

The bitter chinless wonder at work who keeps giving the evil eye.
Is it because Im good at my job and got promoted, chinless wonder?
Is that why you're giving me the stick eye?!
Speak to me, chinless wonder!!

Waiting in Argos for something at lunchtime along with loads of other people and I spot a couple arrive at the collection point after paying. Now maybe she isn’t familiar with the way Argos works or maybe she is just dim, but she starts waggling the receipt at him and gesturing that he should go up and enquire where their items where. He seems reluctant, like he knows the score, but also seems afraid to say no as he meekly tries to catch the attention of the assistant through the hoardes of people also waiting. This isn’t good enough for dim-bat who is getting very frustrated with his half-ars*d attempts. She starts gesticulating at him, rolling her eyes and when he tries to come back to her she sends him off on his merry way again to humiliate himself. Eventually he admits defeat and makes his way back to her and I can hear her saying ‘for god’s sake you can do nothing right’.

Then when they eventually get their things, she makes him hold the bag while she forensically inspects each item before putting them in it. But even that isn’t good enough, as he gets in trouble for not having the bag open wide enough.

And then she stalks out and he trots after her carrying the bag, and all I can think is why doesn’t she just do it all herself and spare us an insight into the miserable existence her husband must lead being bossed around by her!

The current fashion of radio/tv/internet ads using quirky ukelele music in the background. Makes me grit my teeth.

This wrecks my head,I can't even spell when someone is standing over me and if I'm on the phone I can't concentrate on the conversation.Some people are just ignorant.

People standing behind you when you are seated on the luas, blatantly looking down onto your phone screen. Fúck off you fúcking fúcktard.

Getting your NCT and motor tax renewal letter on the same day.

How much are horses? I think I'll buy a horse, get a fancy hat and get giddy uppin'.

I'm hoping that one of the items she got was a baseball bat and yer man gave a little secret smile when she stuck it in the bag. Like in the soaps where the evil character is up to no good and they look off into the distance as the doof-doof rolls.

Anyway my TA is that ad for claiming back PPI where the guy says something like "money owed to you and I."

Anyone that says 'rant over'. You don't matter enough for that to have any gravitas.

Walking in the rain only to discover your shoes/trainers have a new hole in them and are letting in water.

Somebody posts a link to...say..a wikipedia article, but they were on their mobile so it's a link to the mobile site, and wikipedia doesn't recognise that I'm looking at it on a computer and automatically adjust.

Agreed! I have my diploma graduation today and I've had my hair done and all, trying to keep it from deflating. Yesterday would have been a perfect day for it but noooooo because it's a special day for me the world has to go and piss on it. Story of my life stays true to form!

Junk mail. Physical and electronic.

Getting sick of this American election nonsense, its taking over my Facebook page as well as boards here.

Peeling small potatoes.

Got my motor insurance quote by email.
Ring the broker (AA).
They get me to go through all of my details even though they have everything in the document that they emailed me.
They confirm the price - "Are you happy to go with that?"

Me: "No!
AA: "Why?"
Me: "I want a better price - go and double-check everything!"
AA: "Okay - but it won't do any good"
.....on hold for less than a minute.....
AA: "I can do it for €200 cheaper!!!!"
Me: "Okay - let's do that".

Gob****e is delighted with himself :eek:

This is your fooking job - to get the best price for me in the first place!

Ragnar Lothbrok

I still have a hangover from Sunday...........

This TA is more than compensated for by the fact that we won the Cup though

CloudCumulus

Scrolling on my phone through the pages of boards and one particular ad for a website I bought from recently won't let me keep scrolling, I have a get a point above or below the ad.
Boo also for garda vetting and those dirty eircodes.

Surreptitious

Went out to the shop to get something and they overcharged me by 20 euros. Had to go back there again then went to the two bank machines which were both out of order, whilst driving home someone drove right into me, wouldn't reverse kept flashing their full lights and had to reverse all the way on the road for them without so much of any recognition. Really not in the mood.

Burial.

Lost a sh*t tonne of money on poker today and for once it wasn't down to playing like a degenerate idiot. Played perfectly just got sucked out on over and over again. Not good for the heart or the brain.

Winterlong

Watching the US election tonight. TA at the ads on NBC every 5 minutes. But on the plus side, have just discovered CNN live feed and they have no ads....yet.

Sandwich ham, why can't you reseal a package again once its opened.

misstearheus

Finding something I really love and it goes out of feicing circulation or whatever. Currently my lovely cosy Penneys Slippers are getting nearer and nearer to being thrown-out and I can't find those exact Slippers that I want, in there now that I got before.

Your Face

Todays media coverage will probably get me TA d.

Got delayed in college and got back to car park 30 seconds late. Bloody place was closed. Had to pay €40.00 to get car released plus the price of the ticket. Life sucks some times, especially when money is tight
