I'm TA'd that so many of the threads on AH are just full of bile and bitterness. There's precious little lighthearted fun stuff here anymore.

Also TA'd that I'm not better at coming up with fun threads.

TA'd that the idiocy thread is gone.

Plugging a USB cable into a socket on a PC.

You'd think by the law of averages I would have it round the right way 50% of the time?

No, I seem to have it wrong 90% of the time, and have to end up twisting it round.

Phone has started to die at completely arbitrary percentages, 30-something usually, does my head in!!

Lady is a tramp

I just saw a link on a website to a section for "provisions for people with adapted needs".

People with ADAPTED NEEDS ...?! Political correctness taken to a whole new level! It doesn't even make sense!

I ran out of coffee yesterday and forgot to get some when I was in the shop. No coffee for breakfast :-(

I got my hair cut yesterday & now am cold the whole time. :mad:

Poochie05

Thinking I'm smart by putting a load of washing on before breakfast to get a head start. TA'd the exact same time I finally sit down to breakfast the washing is done and I have to get up to take them out before they crease!

Also a major TA my washing machine beeps at the end of a cycle, useful one might think, but it goes on beeping until you turn it off

Tell me how

Was watching a video on Youtube and my phone battery died.
Had to boot up the laptop which was on the same table I was sitting at and watch it on that.
It took nearly 30 seconds. Ugh, FML.

Work six days a week. Went to bed last night early enough to get a decent nights sleep. 20 past 2 I'm woken up by this awful racket sounds like a spaceship being launched up my stairs. I awoke feeling my tachycardia in full swing, it felt like about ten heartbeats in one. Turns out it was a car full of little knackers who drove down to the very back of our estate (outside my house) in their ****box and dodge exhausts, to speed up and down the cul de sac doing donuts.

My monsters decided to make toast this morning. They made charcoal instead. TA'd that the house still smells of burnt toast despite artic level ventilation.

In the aftermath of John Hurt's death I have noticed a lot of media outlets refer to him as the 'Harry Potter' actor. As if that is the pinnacle of his career. Fail to mention Elephant Man or whatever. The same applies to anyone who refers to Liam Neeson as the 'Taken star' or Robert de Niro as the 'Meet the Fockers star'.

I'm changing careers, I'm going back to full time study next year. Which is great, but the problem is I have to stick out my current job until then. I hate it, it's so boring, I hove lost all interest and enthusiasm for it.

All I want to do is tell them "I DON'T CARE!". It's going to be the longest year ever.

I have an alarm set for less than a hours time and I still haven't gotten any sleep.

Retail one

Customers who insist on using a 50 or a 20 euro note to pay for items less than a fiver...its annoying and my change constantly runs out ffs and then they get all snotty when I have to give them coins back in change

I've been guilty of this too often-but often times, I just literally don't have the change.

Which brings me to another irritant-when the ATM doesn't have 20 or 10 euro notes-so you HAVE to take 50-then feel embarassed paying for something that's maybe a fiver, or less.
I'd pay with credit card, but the VAT doesn't make it work it.

When websites like the Irish Times site have a hyperlink in an article, but the link just takes you to a kind of search result of all the mentions that particular thing has on the Irish Times website.

An example is this:

Murphy had pleaded not guilty at the non-jury Special Criminal Court to nine charges of failing to comply with tax laws in the Irish Republic for the years 1996/97 to 2004.

The words Criminal court are hyperlinked - you might expect the hyperlink to take you to a court ruling, or even a previous article about the case, but instead it just takes you to a list of all the results of a search for the words Criminal Court.

To all purveyors of take away coffee.

You cannot stir coffe adequately with a skinny fcuking stick!

People who don't look after their animals. Posts on the local rescue FB page about dumped puppies. My heart is so sad for them. There are no foster homes available and tiny little babies with nobody to love them. How could somebody actually dump defenceless puppies? I'm waiting to hear back if I can short term foster one but looks like I'll be bringing it to work if I do get to

AHA! Not with one skinny stick, but take 10 together and you get a great stir.. I've been doing this for ages

I wanna say I'm TA'd at something, but I'm grand, thanks for asking

When you take out €60 or €80 from an ATM in the hopes that it will come out with all €20 notes but you get a €50 note with a €10 and €20 instead.

Job Application forms.

Ah here, it's all the same stuff that's on my CV, but you demand that I cut and paste it into your company's customised word document (with stupid formatting that makes the text go everywhere) and waffle on about how I've spent my whole life until now preparing for this specific role. Which you will probably immediately reject me for anyway.

To any HR people reading this, how about a compromise? Do your initial screening based on my CV and then if you're taking me seriously as a candidate I will be more than happy to provide the waffle you need.

HR never read the stuff you want them to read! They are a bunch of useless cúnts that more than trivially TA me

Had a HR manager explain her process, some times. Like, if she is recruiting for a place that is overloaded with women-she's gonna bring in guys. Why? Too much oestrogen, she needs the testosterone to balance it all out.
Ditto too many guys-oestrogen helps balance out the testosterone.

They may not be even the most capable people-but sometimes she's in a situation where too many employees of one gender are squabbling and fighting amongst themselves, she needs to balance it out.
