was late coming back from the gym.

was late leaving for work.

The car was in for repair and a warning light went off this morning, which means the car going back to them. The car was booked in somewhere else tomorrow which meant calling them to cancel that appointment.

when I got in I noticed the secretary had made a mistake which took about 30 mins to sort, which included trying to print something and the printer trolling me by printing one page every minute, but working fine for others.

Then I noticed some post was sent out some time ago when it shouldn't have.

its noon and I feel like I've accomplished nothing but yet have been flat out since I landed

You have the makings of a good country and western song with that post. :pac:

My TA today is that my house and yard and garden and car looks like a painters radio with all the bird poo. Flight path.

I met a fella out walking yesterday and was chatting for a few minutes.
He had that kinda white spit on the corners of his mouth. It was annoying me but I couldn't help but look at it.

A guy I know has very hairy ears and long hairs coming out if his nose. Whenever we meet I find myself staring at it...

I trim mine, and if I didn't, Mrs E wouldn't be long about telling me to address the problem. I am sure he realises it's there....

A woman I know has long hairs coming out of her nose. It's awful.

I don't if this is a TA or what - a while ago I was out at my car (as it happens I was cleaning a bird poo off it) A little girl on a scooter stops at my gate and says 'hello', I said hello and continued on what I was at but she stayed there. After a few moments she said 'you have a lovely car' after a little while she went on her way.

It's strange that I felt a kind of fear engaging with the child because the way the world is gone you could be accused of doing something untoward.

That's actually lovely!

Ringing someone and they have a full blown conversation with someone in the background while you are just sitting there listening.

Sun cream in my eye. Nasty stinging watering feeling. Lots of sloshing the Optrex, it should help.

People who post using the acronyms DD (dear daughter), DS (dear son), DH (dear husband) and, I swear to God I saw this today, DSD and DSS (dear step-daughter/son).

Eugghhh.

My OCD about things being clean. Even when something is straight out of the dishwasher I'll still give it a wash under the tap just to be sure.

I hang up on people who do that. Phone conversations in general do my head in.

Sunglasses selfies. They look like flies.

Heavy mustaches on women who appear to be healthy and capable of functioning normally and are therefore well capable of dealing with the problem. The ones the go past the top lip. Arh.

A bunch of kids got their water pistols out to clean the bird poop off my car yesterday.
There's no bird poop splotches on it anymore, but there are loads of water streaks all over it now, water streaks mixed with poop.

I gave up the ghost and hand cleaned the car last night. But of course there was a fresh poop on the roof this morning.
Tis the season for bird poop.

Phones with happy, jaunty musical ringtones. Answer the f**king thing you prick.

I actually always wondered what they stood for

There was a woman in front of me at the self-service cash machine in the bank yesterday. She was lodging around ten notes and insisted on placing them in one at a time. Each time she put in a note she would have to confirm the amount was correct and then select "add more funds" and add another note, confirm amount was correct and so on. Jaysus I thought I was going to smack her. Even more annoying though was when I smartly went up to the machine next to her and lodged all my notes together like the good, upstanding citizen that I am...and the machine then spat them all back out at me.

Sitting in Stephens Green today for my lunch, sitting against a tree, sun on my face. Was lovely, until a woman walks through on a handsfree literally roaring into her headphones.

Can people not try be a little quieter.

There is a guy in my office who insists on using voice commands to ring people - usually takes a few attempts and by the time it actually recognises the name, he is shouting into the phone. Very irritating and inconsiderate to others especially if you are on the phone and this numpty is roaring.

My TA today is how my boyfriend eats pizza. He gets mushroom and pepperoni every time. He starts by picking off the mushrooms and eating them. Then he'll bite around the pepperoni so the pizza has now formed some unusual jigsaw shape. He'll then peel off the crust and place it on his plate, before rolling up the remaining pizza and eating it like a sausage. HE DOES THIS EVERY TIME. I am always so distracted I am by now annoying I find this that I can't concentrate on my own nice pizza.

I know someone who does this too but uses it to Google. Like he'll say out loud "what time does the eye cinema close", and gets repeatedly louder and more frustrated each time. FFS just type it into Google you numpty

Dopes who stop dead in the middle of a busy footpath to flick their rapunzel hair over the shoulder, hitting you in the face because they stopped with no warning. Can't even pretend to like people today

That's a nasty comment. Did you ever consider that maybe it's only a problem for you that other people have hair on their faces?

TA - I just had lunch and I'm bleedin starvin.
