TA:
Our lovely modern office - all wood and polished concrete with discreet signage that the public never notices. Every day you'll find somebody wandering around lost and baffled - 'where's the public counter' 'You're standing right beside it'.

Yesterday I saw a man trying to enter an office through a painting hanging on the wall! 'How do I get into this section?'

Not through the fcuken wall anyway sunshine. Try the reception desk you just walked past because you got distracted by the brightly coloured artwork.

Ta. people who step into our office, take a look around without approaching reception, then shout over 'am I in the right place'

eh . . . how do we know?

I am TA that I don't know what TA means ?

TA by people going 'gluten free'. Coeliac is an auto immune disease which means my antibodies attack wheat like it's a disease and causes me a lot of discomfort. I have to avoid gluten and wheat.

I try very hard not to moan about it but man sometimes I'd love to be able to buy food without checking every ingredient

TA: the sexism revolving around definitions of "bad food". I'm partial to a pack of Tayto. I never fail to get a lecture on how bad these few flavoured spuds are by the very ladies in my life - and my oh my these are laiiiiideeees - who would talk for Ireland about the wonders of various desserts. They are experts on desserts and a dinner wouldn't be complete without it. It's a good bad food, it appears.

"Are you really drinking Pepsi at breakfast ?!!!!"

Yes. When it's Paddy's you can question it.

Actually, no you can't - fup off.

Got back from a work trip at the weekend, took a couple of days off, and now back in the office. I wish I was still at home in my bed eating mince pies.

My son's school are charging parents to attend the Christmas... eh Holidays no it's Christmas show this year. I hated sitting through other people's kids butchering Christmas songs when it was free, now they expect me to pay for it...wonder if I can get a reduction if I only stay to watch my own kid.

The stench of the hypocrisy coming from the Mirror today – the Editor in Chief no less, bemoaning the fact that gang murderers are terrorising the population and something must be done!

Fine – then you start and next time one of these utter scumbags gets killed, quit putting up that he was “just a daddy picking his kids up at school”; “a loving partner” and for God’s sake DON’T publish a picture of them as a kid and the many illiterate “tributes” off social media from the equal criminal friends.

I didn't take my porridge out of the microwave straight away, and I could have built a wall with it. I tried to make it edible by stirring in some milk, which I hate. Half way through I gagged on the milky taste , and ended up binning it.

I work in a secondary school as part of a cleaning agency - part of my job description is cleaning the toilets (classy, eh?)

It's one of them walk-in bathrooms with no door-to-entry, there's also a gate that gets pulled across and locked if there is 'Cleaning In Progress' so students don't wander in and out while you're trying to clean the thing.

My TA is just what you expect.... Students walking in on me trying to clean the fecking bathroom and they bitch and moan when I tell them to get out.

This week, for example - Monday: I had the gate closed, and a student decides to swan in and not even look at me as he makes his way to the cubicle.

I called him to leave as it was closed.

His response? "I have study class soon, I need to go to the toilet!!" << Say that in a stroppy voice.

Now, I could understand his problem if there wasn't many student bathrooms available.

But let me briefly explain the layout of the school - it has a ground floor, first floor, and second floor, each floor has 2 boys toilets and 2 girls toilets (making a total of 12 bathrooms that students can use). This lad, this moody little git, wanted to use this bathroom, this one that I'm standing in right now trying to clean, and has a strop about it, because he's too f*cking lazy to walk 20 yards down the corridor and use another available one.

Another one is the disrespect, as well. Last week I was mopping the floor of one of the cubicles and on my way back out, look what I see - this lad decides to take a piss despite the gate being closed. It's too late to chuck him out now but I called him and was like "the gate was closed, like..."

His response? "Oh, sorry.. I figured I'd be in and out before you noticed"

This one wasn't as annoying as the lad on Monday but the idea that they just unclick the gate and walk in is complete and utter disregard.

I've also had students walk past me after I finish cleaning an area and shout "thanks miss" whilst looking right at me.

I know cleaning isn't a job worth bragging over but it's a job to be respected - if I wasn't in here cleaning these toilets or these staircases, you'd be complaining that the place was in a horrible state - so be grateful, ya cheeky sod.

I whole heartedly agree. I work in an office where similar stuff goes on. And worse. Given the horror stories I've heard about what the contract cleaners refused to touch, causing the toilets on one floor to be shut down for a day until specialist cleaners could come in.
:mad:

Cleaners are deadly! :cool:

This gets right up my left nostril. Cleaning is absolutely necessary and it's product is a joy to behold when done well as much as most anything else. If I were you, I'd make it quite clear to the management of that place that little shits refusing to take direction and instruction from adult staff members working hard for a living and keeping the place safe and usable for them should not be tolerated in any quantity under any circumstances. Those barriers should be lockable, with the key(s) carried by you, your fellow cleaners, and the principal, ONLY.

People who moan about their jobs

Winterlong

People who cannot make a decision. Jesus- how hard can it be ?!

1. Nurses who wake you up at 6:10am to do something that could have waited a few hours.

2. Fellow patients who continue to persist in imposing their tv preferences on your eardrums. Peace seems to be the enemy.

3. Nurses who wake my fellow patient up to do something that could have waited. TV on straight away...

4. That I didn't pay the bit extra to get a private room in a private hospital (entirely to avoid people ramming their tv noise down my ears)

It's long past time to ban televisions without personal headphones in Irish hospitals.

Whist now let you, Maura and Daithi are on.

One TV between a 6 bed ward is a pain, especially as you say when one person (who's usually deaf as a post) wants RTE 1 on the whole feckin time.

Nicotine patches are making me sick as a dog. Went out driving and the water in the windscreen reservoir was empty so I couldn't clean the windscreen and couldn't see nada. Traffic, built up all day and moving at a snails pace. My back is killing me as well. Plus my hair is nearly down to my ass and bright orange looking, needs to be done but I feel too meh to bother sitting for three hours to get it to look normal again.

TA that all day I tried to figure out how to put up curtain poles, hang picture hooks and figure out a plumline to put up wallpaper. What I spent most of the day trying to do, my exs dad has pretty much all of it finished in about 3 hours. I am useless

The aul gobshyte who ran into me last night on the Millennium Bridge and when told (not by me - I wouldn't have been as polite!!)

"You're not meant to cycle on this bridge"

Replied "F**k off, I own this city".

Dying to know who the arrogant a***hole thought he was!!!!

Jaysus it's cold, last week I was I was in temps between 30 - 35 degrees and now I've to try to deal with this!

Also, I'm an angry man at the moment. I quit the smokes a few days ago, any time I have quit (temporarily ) I always lose the rag easily. This time is no different.

My journey home from work involves one 5 mile stretch of a narrow back road that allows 2 cars to pass but only by slowing down, ya know the type.

Turned onto this road last night and immediately I'm stuck behind a mini bus doing 15-20 mph in the fog. Ok safety first and all that's sound but ya can let me past as I could go a bit quicker. the road is too narrow to allow over taking but at 5 points on the road the mini bus pulled in and stopped to let oncoming traffic pass. Could have easily remained stationary for a couple of extra seconds to let me pass but NO, pulled out straight away and wouldn't let me past.
This road ends up feeding into a primary road with wide hard shoulders. As soon as we exit onto this road he is straight into the hard shoulder to let me pass even though there is no oncoming traffic....Thanks mate!
