    Fella comes in to our facility today. I knew that it was his 1st time, that he was new to the place so I sat down and told him, in great detail, the lay of the land, where to go, what to do, when he was finished what paper work he needed to complete, the whole shebang. He then looks at me and says 'I'm new here, you're gonna have to explain what I need to do'. Oh sweet Jesus.

    No wonder I some times sit here and weep silently at how some people are so stupid.

    Got used to living by myself so slightly frustrated and readjusting.
    Having to listen to my mother is annoying me very much so.
    One of those people that believe lemons can cure cancer, every ****ing morning she is telling me to eat a raw jelly cube because it will some how fix my currently unknown cause joint pain, or tried to make me drink holy water when I had a dangerous high fever. **** right off.
    Its even annoying me that I know I am being immature being annoyed at this :p

    Had an accident 4 weeks ago, clean knocked out 2 front teeth, 3 stitches between the eyes, 4 in the chin, plastic surgery to put upper lip back together. For a while my face was covered in cuts which were oozing & massive swelling.

    My TA is people saying "you were lucky" plus "it could have been worse".

    People who win the lottery are lucky. As long as there is just one person alive on the earth it could always be worse.

    When you have the misfortune of having to phone customer service of some company and you have to speak slowly, clearly and repeatedly because the employee is not exactly fluent. That's about as polite as I'm willing to be about my 5-minute-seeming-like-15-minutes call 20 minutes ago. And this overexplaining while you're sorting out something is superfluous waffle. Oh, and so also is telling me about all your online facilities and to check your website when the very reason I'm ringing you is to tell you that you've permanently locked me out of your website. Seriously. It's like these people are programmed to say the same thing to everybody without listening to the customer. Welcome to customer service in 2016.

    Rain does not equal cold. I saw smoke from several chimneys on way home yesterday. When I went outside at home, I could the neighbour's boiler firing up.

    My mum's a terror for this. She's always cold and will have a fire on in mid July if she feels like it. :eek::eek:

    I've just found out there is something more annoying than having a song stuck in your head. The day after having a song stuck in my head and I can't for the life of me remember what the song is. It's driving me nuts.

    People who sit on the outside seat on a bus or train when the inside seat is empty. Why do they do this? Is it so they don't want anyone to invade their personal space or do they think they'll get off the bus a little bit quicker?

    Reading the news about Cliff Richard, I now have the "Open your eyes on Saviour's Day" song stuck in my head.

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. You have put that song in my head and now I must have retribution. I have a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you un-earworm me now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    I saw several people today wearing boots and winter coats! It's not really cold, just dull.. they must have been roasting in those clothes.

    I was just on the luas and the driver kept taking his foot off the accelerator and back on, and kept braking really hard at each stop. I was standing so it really annoyed me. Wish it was possible for passengers to rate the driving skills of drivers!

    Finding out that your water is supplying your neighbour too, but only registering on YOUR meter and YOUR bill, Ring I.W to be told......it's nothing to do with them, you'll have to get your own plumber to fix it.. WHAT???:mad::mad:

    Uncomfortable pillows, why do they always lose the support in the middle? (I don't have a big or weird shaped head)

    TA'd at the stares I endured today for wearing (god forbid) a dress! It's summer people - not scorchio - but not winter either!

    I've completely lost track of the days of the week this week, I keep thinking it's Friday or Saturday. Also, I really should get off my fat ass and go for a walk but I'm finding it really hard to motivate myself.

    I'm doing exams and have lost all concept of time.

    My TA, a fly died in my newly opened two litre bottle of water and I had to throw it out. Now i'm thirsty and poor.

    that little fecker who slips into your dishwasher mid-cycle and upturns containers, which were facing down, so that when the wash is finished those containers are filled with dishwasher water :(

    Good news: don't need to go to get the car nct'd today

    Bad news: it's a poxy scenic so obviously today would be the day that the handbrake fails.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭failinis


    Just discovered my brother is coming on the 2hr drive to Belfast with us, as if today was not stressful enough I have that bollocks to listen and deal with.

    I can't stand greasy feeling on my hands or face, yeah its almost always just chips that do it to me.

    TA a friend cancelled plans with me (she has good reason to have cancelled but I've not seen her for 3 months so was building it up) - always next week!

    Windows 10. Windows 10. Windows 10. And that recurrently frozen taskbar/clock/date/calendar problem which IT fixers across the world must be making a fortune from.

    ctrl + alt + del + Taskbar + explorer end task + File + Run New Task + explorer.exe. Bring back Windows 7.

    I got a big f*cker of a paper cut on the side of my hand just from opening a box of cereal. It stings like a b1tch.
