There's an add for something to do with an overactive bladder and it starts out with "frequent urge to urinate?" and everyone I hear it it makes me want to use the bathroom ever if I've just been.

a child kicked me in the shops today. twice in the leg. totally unprovoked, she just went over to me while her mother was at the counter and decided to boot me . then went back to mammy with her ice cream like nothing happened. i couldnt quite believe what happened and said nothing.

^ a child kicked me repeatedly on the train one evening. The momzilla noticed her child was locking me and was quietly trying to signal at him to stop, which he ignored. He kept it up most of the train journey, for the most part uncorrected. I rang my friend to have a loud conversation for the benefit of the mother next to me. "I'm just here on the way home, on the train, probably black and blue, the child in front of me has the legs kicked off me, I know yeah, no rearing, his mothers sitting beside me and said nothing" I can't remember if she moved him from that seat or if she kept pretending it wasn't happening.


No matter what I eat I get heartburn.
Also a whole day ahead of myself all week

God yes. I'm one of those people who calls it bogball, so this ad annoys me even more.

TA at interview rejection letters. We wish you every success in your future. Don't come near us again.

My wages haven't gone in to my bank account

This means that I'll get a text at around 9am to say that wages will be in cash this week. There will be no apology or acknowledgement that this carry on is in any way unacceptable.

So tense right now.

The one night I could sleep through without needing to get up and I f**king wake with insomnia at 4:15.

Motherf**kers!

You want to dodge rail fare, hey none of my business.

But I hate feckers who tailgate me out of a station. A morning train into Docklands or Connolly has hundreds of people and it happens. I felt a shove in the back one morning and a well dressed guy right behind me, no leap or ticket in his hand. Clearly he tailgated me through the barrier. I see other people move their hands to the scanner but they have nothing in their hands, they run after the person in front.

TA by Free Range Children. In the supermarket car park yesterday and could hear a little boy kicking something. eventually it stopped . his older sister (9/10) had stopped him his mother was smoking a fag with standing behind a buggy with a toddler in it

The fact that when I log into Boards, theres a screen full of sheep on view.

Gives my work colleagues a chance to shout "sheep shagger" at me.

I get kicked by kids every day, and head locks, and knee drops and arm bars.
My little one jumps on by back like a spider monkey and roars

"CHOP TO THE WINDPIPE!!!!!!!" and chops my neck, then gets me in a headlock.

They also try to give me home vasectomies by jumping on my baby maker.

I also don't want to be in work today, tis too nice.

People with no volume control. Having a quiet coffee before I do the grocery shopping. A lady in the cafe was on the phone when I arrived and she was having a loud aggressive conversation that lasted 15mins.
Phone call finished and she has continued to speak at the same volume to her friend.
A man beside me said he could hear her outside. How can she not know how loud she is? Quite aggressive also even in conversation with her friend.

Children kicking people is very TA. Being kicked in the back through the drivers seat when giving my free range parenting friend a four hour lift is very TA. To distract little munchkin mummy put the worlds most annoying song on her iphone. So the kicks slowed a bit but the loud singing made up for it. I don't hate children but I don't like brats.

Generally other peoples kids are a TA. Worse is the parents who spend ages telling you about little Mary's latest exploits.
Can't you see that my eyes glazed over?

I was at a recruitment and selection training course a few days ago about being on recruitment panels.
Some background: panels have to be "balanced" meaning have both one woman and one man and one person from both sides of the community (Catholic/Protestant) on it.
The trainer spent the entire 3 hours pointedly refusing to say the words Catholic or Protestant during the training. She would call them 'green and orange' or 'one from either side' or things like that. It was so awkward coz she always paused before she said it like she was thinking of a different way to describe them. It drove me mental. And it's a common thing up here. Like they're dirty words or something. Sometimes the sectarian ****storm up here really wears me out. I've been here long enough now that even I'm starting to do it. Ugh!

When people say little Johnny or little Mary. Haven't heard a child called either of those names in about 15 years or 20 years.

Ads on tv using famous songs and changing the lyrics to describe/advertise whatever the product is.

There's a particularly awful one at the moment using 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'.

Which is almost a TA in itself

The way you have to line-up in the EU Queue when you arrive at Dublin Airport. There should be an Irish Queue.

We have a little touchpad thing to exit a door here, it gets me every time.

There is also a swipe card things as well that I could use, but that involves more effort.

Jo'Burg airport is also crazy for static!
